Last Seen in Capital

In spite of the fact that a general
alarm has been sent through the papers
of the country for w. P. Douglas. a
prominent resident of Jacksonville Fla,
who is reported to have disappeared in
this city on September Il, the police
here have not been requested by the
Jacksonville authorities or the missing
mans relatives to take any action. All
the police have heard of the case is
what they have seen in the papers.
Dispatches state that Douglas, who
is secretary of the Florida Life Insur-
ance Company, was last heard Of in
Washington on september IL. Since then
no trace of him has been found. He had
intended going from here to Glade
Springs, Va, but inquiry there Is said
to have developed no trace of his
whereabouts.
Acting on the information contained in
the press dispatches, the police made
inquiry at all hotels and other retreats
in this city without finding any trace
of the missing man. The company OF
which Douglas Is secretary Is not rep
resented here, and local insurance men
do not know the missing man person
ally. fr
It was suggested that Douglas might
have gone to Atlantic City to attend the

several women mailers were examined
by the council, and President Stovey,
of New York, head of the book
binders, with several women mailers,

railing of matter in single wrappers
should be under the jurisdiction of
their organization.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. is also
chairman of the executive council, and
presides at the meetings He an
nounced that no definite decision had
Yet been reached in the matter. This
afternoon is being devoted, to receiving
further arguments and evidence in the

sion yesterday. and will continue
throughout the week.
Several decisions have been made,
notably that in the case OF the Jur1s-
diction controversy between the Inter
national Union -of Brewery Workers
over brewery drivers, mineral water
soda water and distillery drivers. The
council found that the three latter class
oil workers properly come under the
jurisdiction Of the team drivers and
the former under the bewery workers.
The next convention of the Fedora
ton, which is to be held In November
In Seattle, will decide the appeal Of the
International Association of Machinists
