GIRLS BEING HELD,
HER FATHER FEARS
Eighteen-year.old Lola Devine Is
Seen in Georgetown with
Two Women.
NEVER REACHED UNcIE's HOME

Miss Lola Devine, eighteen years old.
daughter Of Joseph E. Devine. rail-
road foreman. left her home in German
visit her uncle. William Hudson. of s22
N Street Southwest, but she did not ap-
pear at the Hudson home and her where
abouts are unknown to relatives.
An element of mystery was injected
into the disappearance of the girl when
her father told the police that his daugh-
ter was seen in GEORGETOWN on Friday
morning with two colored women. both
Of whom have unsavory police records
Joseph Devine said his daughter and
the 'colored women were seen by a white
woman who has known Miss Devine for
several years. Devine is certain the In
formant is not mistaken in identity.
So important is the information con-
sidered by the police that a city-wide
search Is being made for the coiored
women. who will be arrested and held
until they explain the disappearance of
the girl or convince the authorities they
were not In the company OF Miss Devine.
Uncle Grew Alarmed.
When the girl did not appear at tho
Hudson home on Thursday evening the
uncle grew alarmed and communicated
Win LEVINE Inc father came to WASH
ington at once. They searched the city,
their only reward being the information
that the missing girl was seen with the
colored women.
Devine was forced 70 return to his
homo last night. but said he would re-
turn to Washington this morning to lend
aid to the police. Hudson continued the
search last night. He says she had no
sweetheart. and has never intimated an
intention to marry.
He scouts the theory that the girl may
have become lost. Miss Devine is old
enough to have found her way to Hud-
sons home even though she is a stran-
ger in the city. Relatives say the girl
is unusually pretty. She is about 1--WE
feet six or seven inches. tall. and WEIGHS
about 40 pounds. She is a blonde Her
hair is light and her eyes are blue. When
she said good-by to her father In Ger
mantown she wore a white skirt, light
waist and black shoes.
Devine has given the police a photo
graph Of the girl, and every policeman
in the city has been instructed by head
quarters to make every effort to find
trace Of her.
