 Clue To Missing
 U. M. C, WatChman

. Unable to evolve any other ex- planation for the strange disappear ance of George Clough, the head cf the night watchmen of the U. M. c. Co.,, the police have concluded that Clough has wandered away from home while demented and that he may be wandering aimlessly about the country.
 Nothing has been heard from Clough since he left home last Thurs day morning, about II o'clock. He arose without his usual amount of sleep, and without volunteering any explanation walked out of his home, 652 Connecticut avenue. When he failed to report for work, officials of the U. M. c. Go. sent inquiries to his home Friday and his wife, who sup posed he might have returned to work, then learned for the first time that he had strangely vanished.
 Here is the description sent broad cast from police headquarters:
 George Clough, age A years, weight bout 180 lbs, bald on top of head smooth face, a little lame in right leg, good teeth, has the habit of chewing gum, said to be a man of good habits, had. on his old clothes, a brown suit and black Derby hat, has light hair,l ruddy complexion; may be in some hospital.

PAY'MASTERS IN
 SPECTACULAR RUNAWAY CRASH

William Andrews and Daniel Fur ney, of the paymasters office at the Bryant Electric Company, were badly shaken up and bruised when a run away team crashed into their coupe and upset it near the corner of Park and Fairfield avenue this morning. A worse miShap was averted by the pluck of Driver Arthur Holmes, who, when thrown from his seat, pluckily hung on to the reins and brought his horse to stop. There was a neat little sum of several thousand dollars in cash in the coupe that was upset but the money reached it's destination at the Bryant Electric company all right.
 Andrews and Turney in coupe from Wm. Willis stable, were on their way to the factory after securing money for the days payroll from the bank. Almost without warning a runaway team belonging to Somers Brothers came on the coupe from be- hind and crashed into it. The coupe turned over with a grand carsh. Driv- CT Holmes, thrown from his seat and partially caught beneath the falling vehicle, clung to the reins like mad and prevented the horse from dragging it.
 The two men inside were bruised and shaken but not badly hurt. The rum away team dashed on a short way when the horse slipped and fell and his career was brought to stop. Des- bite the spectacular features of the smash, no one was badly hurt. The worst sufferer was Mr. Willis coupe and harness. The runaway which caused all the trouble didn't have a scratch on it. g,
 Messrs. Andrews and Turney were taken on to the factory in another vehicle. M

Ha.I.t Her sIeen.

Some years ago a Swansea vessel was caught in a terrible gale. The captain had his wife on board, and when the wind was still rising he told her to go down below and sleep, for all was well. He remained on the bridge till the mate came up and said: We've done all we can. Hadn't you better tell the chaps to get out the boats?'
 ''Yes. yes. my lad, if you think so." said the captain, who knew the only choice left was whether to go down with the ship or in small boat, which couldn't live ten seconds in that sea. The engineers came up with the news that the fires were all out. "Very well, my lads." said the captain quiet 1y; "save yourselves if you can."
 Wont you fetch the wife on deck, sir?" asked one of the men.
 "No," was the calm reply; '1et her sleep. poor old girl. am going down to have a smoke" And. smoking by the bedside of his sleeping wife, he went down with the ship.

Early ,cembines and Corners.

SEngrOSsing" was an offense punish able in England by fine and imprison- ment. and the laws against it struck at those-called "engrossers"-who plan- ned to gain control over necessities. such as grain or foodstuffs in consid- efable quantities. either by purchase or otherwise, with the intention of raising prices. The statute book holds quite a series of enectments designed to pre- vent anything in the nature of what we know as "corner" or combine" 'Regrating" was a criminal offense, and so was 'forestalling." The former consisted of buying and selling the same day in the same market or near 1t and the latter implied the purchase of merchandise on the way to market or before t1e hour at which the market commenced with the intention of sell ing at profit, while it was also fore stalling" to circulate rumors calculated to raise the prices of commodities. Though these laws have fallen into desuetude. they were in force in our grandfathers' time.-London Mail.

Modern Maps.

There are Egyptian maps dating from 1400 B. C., but in spite of this long history it has been astonishingly difficult to make progress in charts until very recent times. Errors are perpetuated; truth is forgotten; ad- vance issslow. As late as 1900 charts of the Alaskan coast issued by the United States wefe. said to be thirty miles wrong. and nearly all commer- cial map makers still represent noun tain chains as caterpillars. and the fringe of the shore is adorned with a blue wavy frill. As for railroad maps, the less said the better. the great rail- road map of the northern belt of the United States adorniug the walls of the Broad street Pennsylvania station in Philadelphia being distorted east and west. north and south and other wise. it's accuracy in large part not being over 30 per cent. yet it is a more than usually good railroad map.-En- gineering Magazine.

MGR. FALCONIO FOR NATIONAL
 DIVORCE LAW
Especial from United Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Expressing qualification that President Taft had advocated such a measure, Mgr. Dio- mede Falconio, Papal Representative in the United States, here to attend a celebration of the Catholic Societies, today, commended the idea of a Ma tional Divorce Law.
 ..The agitation is an expression of growing dissatisfaction with existing laws" he said. Any reform that would receive the hearty approbation of the Catholic church.
 sIt is indeed gratifying to see Pres ident Taft interest himself in the measure. He is expected, I see, to urge the adoption of uniform laws re- a law would make it impossible for a man forbidden to marry in one state to step across the line into another and wed.
 While we cannot sanction divorce laws of any kind, I can see with such law in effect that the occurrence of such a marriage as that which recent ly shocked the country and of which the newspapers printed so much, would have been impossible. A na- tional divorce law would do so much good it would be a benefit to society"
 Mgrs Falconio took part in the cele- bration of the Catholic Societies. Archbishop James E. Quigley also took part in the celebration.
 That the Catholic Church in Amer ica will have to meet the same at tack that it has in France and Por- tugal was a warning the latter ut- tered.
 'The question confronting this orA ganization is what to do about the dangers that are now threatening Christianity in this country" he said. "In France and Portugal the church was defeated and persecuted. I want to say that when the time comes in this country and the same forces att tack the church, they will not find us unprepared.'

 One of the earliest arrivals was Lon F. Morris, a millionaire who is en- gagged in the manufacture of dry plates. According to other members of the association there is nothing dry about Mr.. Morris aside from his plates and many have partaken of his hospitality.
 The year book caused widespread commendation among the photograph CTS who saw it. It is certainly a work of art and is a credit to MT. Alderman and his publishing com- pany, which is located at South Nor walk.
 The industrial exhibition at the convention is so big that it is impos- sible to give newspaper space to- it. Every modern invention in the photo graphic art will be on hand for dem onstration by experts. One of today's arrivals was G. Dietz, famed as the inventor of the multi-speed shutter, which Che claims) can give the focal plane cards and spades for speed. The focal plane people have little to say on this subject. MT. Dietz is going to take some fashlight pictures at the speed of 120O0 of a second by way of demonstration.
