MAN MISSING WITH
$1,000 IN HIS POCKETS
The Proceeds From Sale of His Home
in Augusta-Wife Fears He
Has Been Murdered.

Augusta, Ca, Special to Columbia
Record, July 21.-With $1,000
on his person, the proceeds from the
sale Of his home, H. Coleman, an en-
ploye Of the city board of health, ten
derly kissed his wife goodbye Sun
day afternoon and disappeared. Moth
Ing has been heard of him since he
was hailed he boarded a train for
Columbia shortly afterwards, when
he replied, 81 don't know" in answer
to the question of hs destination. Mrs.
Coleman, when interviewed last night
stated that her husbands mind might
be unbalanced, as his actions when
he left her to go down town were
peculiar in the extreme. His wife
fears that he may be the victim of
foul play.
The Coleman's had disposed of
their home on Hicks street prepara-
tory to leaving for Asheville, N. c.,
where they were to go in search of
health. They have been residents of
Agusta for number or years and
the thoughts of leaving her native
city caused Mrs. Coleman consider
able worry, she sated Because of
her low spirits, Mrs. Coleman re-
garded lightly the unusual actions of
her husband, simply attributing them
to evident sympathy for her in her
trouble.
While she is possessed with the
dread that her husband may have
been murdered for the money in his
possession, that fear is to an extent
allayed by the report that he was
seen climbing aboard a train for Co
lumbia Sunday afternoon. Their do
mestic relations have been ideal, she
says, through their ten years Of mar
rfed life. At first Mrs. Coleman was
inclined to believe that the missing
man had suddenly become possessed
with desire to return to Germany,
his native land, but upon mature
consideration, she was less inclined
to regard this as a possible cause for
his disappearance.
Mr.. Coleman is a man of short
stature, about five feet four inches in
height, about As years of age and
weighs about 135 pounds. He plainly
shows the effects of his recent iii
health, Mrs. Coleman says.

CRISIS IN MEXICO
SOON is EVIDENT
Next Two Weeks Fraught With Tre-
mendOus Importance-Means
Rise or Fall of Huerta.

Washington, July Alarming
reports OF an approaching crisis in
Mexico have been received here by
high government officials. 1t was an
thoritatively stated upon unimpeach-
able authority that the developments
OF the coming two weeks are regar-
ded as fraught with tremendous i'm
portance to the Huerat government.
So delicate is the information they
contain that an intimation of the ad-
vices became known today only with
the stipulation that it was unofficial
and that 1t should not be represented
as being the view of any official of
the United States government.
Authoritative publication of the
nature of the advices, 1t is said. pro
badly would precipitate the very cri-
sis the dispatches forecast. Tho means
by which the predicted event we're to
be brought to pass or what was to
follow were not hinted at in the re-
ports, which so far have found no
reflection in military or naval prep
arations by the United States.
Meanwhile the administration is
making time on the Mexican problem
pending the arrival OF Ambassador
Wilson from Mexico City. which is
expected by Thursday of Friday.
President Wilson finds himself I'm
the same seat of doubt as to actual
cnoditions in the rebellion torn re-
public as he did when in the hope of
getting at the facts he summoned the
American ambassador to the capital.
He realizes that even the Americas
scattered throughout Mexico in
diyidually are unable to get a compre-
hensive view of the situation in the
whole coutry, their judgment being
affected by purely local events. From

BOMB THROWING IN LISBON.
Police Frustratc Attempt-Baskets
of Bombs Found i'm Autos.

Lisbon, July 2O-An organized at
tempt at bomb-throwing in various
parts of the city early today was
frustrated by the police, who had
been warned. They captured several
automobiles, in which they found
baskets filled with bombs and arrest
ed many persons who had gathered
in the streets. While the police were
engaged in these operations, shots
were fired and several persons were
wounded in another part of the city.
One bomb, thrown from an automo-
bile, killed a policeman and injured
others.
Many of those arrested are said to
belong to the advanced Radical par
ty. Some children playing in the
streets later in the day found two
bombs. A boy hit one with a ham
mer and it exploded, wounding him
severely.

MRS. PANKHURST
OUTWITS THE POLICE
Noted SufTragette Puts One Over on
Detectives When They Place I'm
personatOr Under Arrest.

London, July 20.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the suffragette leader,
again has outwitted the police. II
was thought she had been arrested
last night, but 1t was another wo-
man, impersonattng Mrs. Pankhurst.
whom the police arrested in a taxi
cab and took her part Of the way to
Scotland Yard. Then they discover
ed the mistake and liberated the
prisoner. At first the affair was con-
sidered a hoax but it developed an
parently into a well-laid scheme
whereby Mrs. Pankhurst could es-
cape from her fiat by another pas
sage, while her impersonator was
Turing away the police.
A taxicab stopped in front of the
building, shortly before last mid
night and two women alighted and
proceeded to the second floor, where
the Pankhurst apartments are locat-
ed. Three detectives who have
guarded the building since Mrs.
Pankhurst escaped in the riot after
the meeting of the Women's Social
and Political Union July 70, blew
their whistles for reinforcements.
simultaneously so men and wo-
men gathered at the entrance, and a
veiled woman, leaning heavily on her
supporters, descended the steps and
entered a cab. The detectives, con
Guiding Mrs. Pankhurst was attempt
ing to flee, jumped into the cab and
ordered the driver to proceed tc
Scotland Yard. Before they reached
their destination they lifted the vel
and discovered their prisoner was

half an hour the detectives returned
and resumed their investigation OF
the premises. Meanwhile, however
the fiat was unguarded. Lights ap-
peared again tonight in the Pank-
hurst apartments and detectives

tion was refused.

worked out from the local point of
the unit in which the postoffice is To-
Gated. The simplicity of the plan, it
is thought, will make easily deter
minale the rate of postage from that
unit to any other on any mailable
parcel and will greatly facilitate the
handling of parcel post matter at
postoffice windows.
Postmaster General Burleson de-
cided to purchase rather than lease
automobiles for the delivery of par
eel post matter In the belief that the
machines could be bought outright
and operated by the government at
much less expense, and, at the same
time, the service would be of great
er uniformity and efficiency.

ASKING FOR DETAILS.
Foreign Countries Want to Know of
Virtual PrOteCtOrate Over Mica
rague Proposed by Bryan.

Washington, July 21.-Now that
Secretary Bryan's proposal for vir-
tual protectorate over Nicaragua has
become public safe department Off
cials are expecting inquiries from the
Europen powers respecting its de-
tails. Most of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the powers are absent
from Washington at the summer en-
bassies and legations in the north
consequently no views from that
quartaer are available.
The suggestion, however. that the
plan be extended to cover all the ter
ritory near the Panama canal zone
has aroused the keenest interest in
Latin American circles with some
hints of opposition. Salvador recent
ly made some objections to the Mica
raguan treaty in its original form and
Costa Rica more recently objected
TO certain provisions relating to the
proposed canal route; but the latter
were based solely upon a claim for
consideration in connection with the
use of the SanJuan river, which
Costa Rica claims as her territory.
Europe's interest, however, is
chiefly in the investments OF her citi-
zens in enterprises and securities of
Latin America

(From The Woman Beautiful
During the coming months of biting
winds and intense cold, you who would
keep your skins smooth, white and vel

colized wax. Nothing else will so eff
fectively remove chapped, roughened
or discolored surface. By gradually abb
sorbing the weather-beaten cuticle, the
complexion is kept in perfect condition,
and even the beauty of expression ap-
pears more pronounced. If your skin
be blotchy, pimply, freckled, coarse,
sallow or over-red, why not shed it2
One ounce of ordinary mercolized wax,
to be had at any druggists, will com
pletely transform the most unsightly
complexion in less than fortnight.
Use the wax nightly, like cold cream,
washing it off mornings
If weather, age or poor health has
mRrred your face with wrinkles, here s
