Board of Trade will begin on
Tuesday when the members of the
board of directors of that organiza-
ton take the field to begin the So
hclting OF subscriptions to be used
IN augmenting the fund needed to
pay an expert and active secretary
and to defray the other expenses of
the board
some work has already been done
IN this particular by President G. r.
Ellis, OF the board, who has seen
number of the business men of the
city, and who finds that they are in
thorough sympathy with the new
method of raising funds and that they
VIII willingly cooperate in the work.
Inc raising of the funds is to be ac-
comphshed by private subscriptions,

was that of John Huiess. War Depart
ment clerk. who left home. wife and two

friends here knows his whereabouts. He
came to this city from Jersey City
Heights, n. j.. about SIX months ago and
resided at 1888 18th street northwest
The disappearance of Edward Newton

mystery. He went away more than two
months ago without any apparent rea-
son other than that. he was suffering
from nervousness. He had won suit
which would have netted him a fee OF
S1,:,GO. but he did not remain here long
enough to get the money.
The police have been unable to solve the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of /. SCHNEIDER ia Tor, at 1907 L street
northwest. SCHNEIDER was doing q pros
porous business, seemed to be we'll sup
piled with cash and his friends are unable
to explain his absence
Lester G. Hine left home Unexpectedly
and without explanation. but his disap-
pearance was no mystery. He had said
he was going elsewhere to seek employ

of the Southern Railway Company was
not calculated to meet his requirements.
