The Post of Tuesday had the follow
ing concerning Mrs. Greever's disap-
pearance:
The Rev. Walton II. Greever, OF
Columbia, S. c., arrived here last night
to direct personally the hunt for Mrs.
Greever, who mysteriously disappeared
in the shopping district 10 this city last
Friday. With him came Arthur H
Kohn, of Columbia, a friend of the
family. Edward l.. Greever, of Taze.
well, Va, a brother of the clergyman,
and Theodore Bruegel, Of Philadelphis,
brother of the missing woman, also
are here to aid in the search.
The Rev. Mr.. Greever, who is editor
of the United Synod, a Lutheran publ.
cation, said last night that his wife,
who had been suffering from melan-
cholia, came to Washington last fall for
treatment, and that apparently her con-
dition had improved greatly. He said
that he received Il letter from her every
day while she was here. The last one
reached him on Friday Her mind then
apparently was clear, he said. He was
inclined to the belief THAI Mrs. Greever
suffered & nervous breakdown the day
she left. He could not otherwise &C.
count for her act.
The police hope to find some trace OF
the missing woman soon. They are in
clined to think she oon will realize what
she has done and will notify her friends
here"

The friends of Banker Morse, also
Convict Morse, are highly pleased to
learn that since his release from prison
at Atlanta his health has so improved
that he is contemplating a trip to Eu-
rope. All his doctors, who recently
predicted his early demise, say that he
is almost completely recovered. The
pardon Of Morse was brought about
largely by the unremitting efforts of his
wife, who used money literally to Sc
cure signers to petitions in his behalf,
and to create favorable sentiment in
other ways. 1t is intended now TO get

1t looks as if the butter trust had
overstepped it's reasonable limit recent
ly when it made its last raise in the
market quotations. The makers of oleo-
margarine promptly saw their opportu-
nifty and advanced arguments, based
largely on the price, why "oIeo' should
be used instead OF butter. In conse-
quence there was a large increase in the
sale of the butter substitute. Probably
this was due to the demand by hotel and
boarding house keepers. The public at
large is not yet so accustomed to the
use of the artificial or imitation butter
as to buy it knowingly, although it may
be quite wholesome. Many persons
would probably be surprised to learn
that they have been eating oleomar-
gerine, or "butterine" for years be-
lieving all the time that they were eat
ing creamery butter"

CAPITAL POLICE
ARE BAFFLED.
Mysterious Disappearance Of Mrs. Walton H.
GTeeVer StIrS Washington, But Efforts
10 Locate Her Are UnreWarded.

10 Locate Her Are UlTeWarded.
The following taken from the Wash
ington Post of Monday relative to the
mysterious disappearance in that city Of
the wife of Rev. Walton H. Greever. of
Columbia, S. c., will be of interest to
the citizens of this county, where Rev.
Greever was born and raised. The
children referred to are visiting the
father OF Rev. Greever in Burkes Gar
den.
Mrs. Ryan, whom Mrs. Greever was
visiting at the time of her disappear
ance, is the mother-in-law of Rev. E. L.
Rltchie, pastor of the Lutheran church
here and in Burkes Garden.
The article from the Post follows:
Following the receipt yesterday of a
frantic appeal from the Rev. w. II.
Greever, of Columbia, S. c., the police
here last night again sent out a general
alarm for his wife, who has been mys-
teriously missing from the home of Mrs.
Louise Ryan, of 1901 Corcoran street
northwest, since last Friday. All efforts
to locate her so far have proven fruit
less.
Mrs. Ryan yesterday telegraph to the
Rev Mr.. Greever, telling him of the
| disappearance Of his wife, and soon aft
erward received a telegram asking that
reward be offered and that the police
be requested to spare TO pains to find
her. In his telegram, the Rev. Greever
said he could give no explanation for
his wife's disappearance.
As an evidence of his anxiety. the
minister called up Mrs. Ryan over the
long-dstance telephone last night to in
quire for news. When informed that
the police had been unable TO find her.
he declared that probably ne would
leave for Washington this morning to
conduct personally the search, and if
unsuccessful to offer a reward.
The police searched the hospitals and
hotels in the city yesterday, but found
no trace of the missing woman. They
are continuing their efforts, however.
Mrs. Ryan was in constant touch with
them during the evening in order to
keep the husband informed.
Three small children Of the Greevers
are with sister of the clergyman in
small town in Southwestern Virginia.
Word was sent there yesterday by Mrs.
Ryan to1earn if Mrs. Greever had gone
to see them. Word was received last
night that she had not reached there.
Mrs. Ryan said last night that she
was shopping in F street Friday with
Mrs. Greever, when the latter suddenly
disappeared. The two were looking in
shop windows. When Mrs. Ryan look
ed around and discovered that her COM
panion was no longer with her she hur
ried into several stores nearby. but
could find no trace of her.
Mrs. Greever was not very well
when she first came to Washington sew
eral months ago, and she and have
been taking frequent walks together"
said Mrs. Ryan. Her condition has
been improving constantly, and we
thought she would be well soon and
could return to her home. l have no
idea of where she could have gone"
The police of Columbia, S c., took up
the search last night and telegraphed
to the police here for information"

r AS VEGAS, n. NJ. July a
This will be the last box
ing I will do until the after
noon Of July 4, and I want every
body to know that I am ready for
this battle and in better shape than
ever before. Further, I'm going to
win, for I feel it in my bones. but
if I should be unfortunate enough
to be beaten you can bet I will be
tearing in and not going away
when it happens"
With these words addressed to
the mob of at least 1000 persons at
Montezuma yesterday afternoon,
Jim Flynn closed his boxing work
and practically his entire training
for the Johnson battle of Thurs
day afternoon The applause was
deafening at the close.
There were go many people at
Flynn's beautiful place that they

Referee to Meet Fighters.
The final formality in the Flynn
Johnson match will take place to-
night when the referee will meet
5oth principals and discuss the
rules with them When this little
powwow has been gone through
with, there will not be anything
left for the men to do but get into
the ring and start the big battle.
There will not be the slightest
hitch over my Interpretation of the
Queensberry code as far as is ap-
parent on the surface. 1t is barely
possible that the ever technical
champion may find some fault
somewhere and demand that he
have his way on this point or that
one, but this is a remote possibili-
ty.
The fighters have to do the fight
ing and they Will do the way they
agree in advance.
But of this you may be sure: The
men will protect themselves at all
times. going into or going out of
clinches, and will not be consid-
cred clinched until both fighters are
unable to hit with either arm.
Then they Will break upon com
mand, but always stepping back on
guard and prepared to protect
themselves.
Inasmuch as both Of the men
know pretty well how to fight there
will be no special instructions nee
essary on either side There will,
however. be a strong warning
about holding and hitting, heeling,

THE DAWsON-ALBANY GAME.
Home Boys Had Regular Walk-Over
in Fridays Contest.

Dawson and Albany crossd bats
Friday with disastrous results to the
visitors. On account of rain the
game was called in the first half of
the sixth inning. The score stood s
to / in Dawson's favor. A feature
of the game was Doziers home drive
through center.
The visitors showed up decidedly
weak, and were not what might have
been expected out of Albany from
her past record. The team seemed
to have been hurriedly gotten to-
gether for the occasion, and showed
lack of training in their positions
and at the bat.
The Dawson team is lining up for
a series of good clean games this
season, and were much disappointed
in their opponents Friday. Hereaf-
ter challenges from first-class anna
tours will be considered and the
public may expect good ball.
