Philadelphia, April 17.--Alarmed by
the continued absence of her son. Ca
leb c. Hughes, Jr., a sophomore at the
Jefferson Medical college, who disap-
peared Saturday, the mother of the
young man came here from New York
and renewed her efforts to find him.
Hughes. who Is twenty-three years
old, left the home of his sweetheart,
Miss Lefty Gibbs, 2229 South Sixty
eighth street. Saturday night with a
check for 500 in his possession. He
announced his intention of having the
check cashed and started ostensibly
for his boarding house in Darby.
Hughes has not been seen since
The police have been inclined to at
tribute the young mans prolonged alb
sence to fraternity prank, but friends
and relatives of Hughes believe he was
attacked and is now possibly held cap
tive by some one who learned that he
had money.
George F. Horace. Hughes room
mate, Immediately reported his absence
to the police, but no word was received
from the missing man until Monday
afternoon. Then Miss Gibbs got an
envelope with a postmark from the
central station, Camden. 1t contained
Hughes visiting card, upon the back
of which was penned in his handwrit-
ing:
II am an unwilling captive. l don't
know where l am" On the other side
was written:
Dear Letty-Fortunately have an ad-
dressed letter l am an unwilling captive.
Write pa and ma. I send love. Remain
true. I will be back. Tenderly and low
ingly, Caleb.
The police admitted there was some
thing serious in the case when shown
the card. The young mans roommate
declares emphatically that he believes
Hughes to be in serious trouble. He
described the sophomore as a quiet,
unassuming youth who spent most Of
his time in his pom or at the home Of
Miss Gibbs. WHile the two are not en-
gagged, the family of the young woman
admitted that there was some under
standing between them.

WOMAN FAILS TO FIND
GOLD ON C0COS ISLAND.
Treasure Hunting Expedition Comes
Back After Fine Time.

The treasure hunting expedition led
by Miss Genevieve Davis, an English
woman, which had been looking for
buried gold on Cocos island for many
months, got back to the city of Pana-
ma recently. A good time was had by
all. No treasure was recovered.
Benito Bonito was a regular pirate,
who in the early part Of the nineteenth
century settled down to 'singeing the
beard of the king of Spain" along the
coast of Mexico. When he got any
money together he buried it on Cocos
island after the manner of pirates and
made a map with the skull and cross
bones marking the spot where the
treasure was hid. His heirs have
made substantial living selling these
maps to those whom romance and the
works Of r. L. Stevenson have touched
Miss Davis expedition started out
from Plymouth with one of the maps
and vessel armed with a six FOUNDER
to fight the natives of Cocos island,
which lies $50 miles southwest of Pan
ANA, on Sept. 10 last. The only wom-
an besides Miss Davis aboard the ship
was her friend Mrs. Barry Till.
Two other expeditions left resDec.

SOMEWHAT INCONSISTENT.

Governor Tener's statement on the
proposed issue of $50 100000 road
bonds draws attention to the fact
that this important bill now before
the Legislature provides for nothing
more serious than referendum OF
the whole subject to the people.
1t is singular that the only oppon-
ents of the bill are also champions
of the referendum plan. Theoreti-
cally, they believe in referring every
thing to the voters at large and inso-
far as their own pet legislation is
concerned they are always ready to
denounce Independent action on the
part of the General Assembly as a
crime.
How, then, can they justify their
opposition to a referendum on one
of the most important questions that
has come before the State lawmak-
ers in years? 1t is agreed that the
people want good roads and it was
agreed until recently that the long
term bond issue was the proper way
to finance the big project outlined
in the Sproul bill. Why should the
Legislature be asked to prevent an
expression of the popular wishes at
the polls in this instance and not in
other instances? Extreme radical
ism is rarely we'll balanced and new
er fair

COATESvILLE STILL "DRY."
License For Taylor House at That
Place Refused.


West Chester, Pa, April 17.-Coates-
vile will continue to be dry for a
year, according to a decision handed
down by Judge William Butler refus-
ing the application for license at the
Taylor House there made by William
Worthington of Germantown, Chester
county. He is a brother of Mrs. Ort-
man, widow Of the former owner of
the hotel.
No new applications by other hotel
men in Coatesville will be given con-
sideration by the court. The hotel men
have announced an appeal to the supe-
rior court, but so far no steps have
been taken. The licenses of all other
hotels in Coatesville were revoked four
weeks ago.
Judge Butler in refusing the applica.
ton reviewed the testimony given by
citizens of Coatesville, all of whom de-
clared the license would be hurtful.
They testified that one liquor license
in town OF 1900 persons would
cause as much harm as though one had
been granted to each Of the former five
hotels. To this the court acquiesced.

MAKE HONEsDALE CLEAN.

To begin with, Honesdale is not so
dirty as most towns where improve
ment associations and civic clubs do
not exist. We are, practically speak
ing, clean at all times, but after win
ter there is more or less dirt that
necessarily collects and should be re-
moved in the spring, and dirt"
please bear in mind, is nothing more
nor less that matter out of place.
Cleanup week in Honesdale has
ceased to be a novelty, but as it's pur-
pose becomes better understood each
succeeding year, its results are more
marked.
May has been designated as the
date for beginning our annual mu-
nicipal housecleaning and this
spring, while the festivities are in
progress and the tin cans and waste
paper and ashes and broken bottles
are being carted out of our Spotless
Town, and back yards are being
primped to court the attentions of re-
viving Nature, the streets of the city
are to be bathed by way of innova-
ton.
The plan is to give them real,
old Saturday-night scrubbing, so that
when cleanup week is over and the
last tardy householder has set his
premises in good order, Sunday, the
18th, will dawn upon a community
refurbished and immaculate.
AS an aid to sanitation, cleanup
week, probably directed and enthu-
siastically supported by all classes
of citizens, will do more to promote
public health than half a dozen
boards of health could do.
Now is the time to eliminate the
breeding places of the fly and the
mosquito.
If you get on the job bright and
early May 5, you can destroy mil
lion filth and germ-carrying insects
with one stroke of the broom.

FIND GREAT IRON ORE TRACT.
Fabulous Wealth Located In Earth Of
Wisconsin

What promises to be the greatest iron
ore discovery in the worlds history be-
came known in Milwaukee recently
with the arrival in that city of Frank
z. Henzel of Prairie Du Chen to close
arrangements for the transfer of leases
on an enormous tract of land to a local
representative of some of the biggest
iron mining operators in the United
States.
The great tract is in the southwest
ern part of Wisconsin, extends over
parts of three counties, and the dis
coverers believe that an area sixty
.uiles long and forty miles wide is
largely underlaid with ore of rich per-
centage in metallic iron.
Assays range from 81 per cent to
over GO per cent metallic iron, most of
1t non-Bessemer, but with possibilities
Of developing Bessemer quality at a
lower depth.
The ore is near the surface, being in
places only twenty feet beneath, while
In the best explored tract the mineral
is eighty feet below the surface and
has been tested through a depth of
forty feet. One area tested out con-
tains approximately 100000 tons of
ore, valued at about $S.000,000.

OVER |NSUR|NG
CHARGED BY EXPERT

1t is not likely that there Will be
any change to the present fire insur-
ance rates for at least 90 days IL any
then, according to the general agree
ment arrived at as the result of the
meeting of the fire insurance men and
agents from all over the country in
Birmingham the last two days. Follow
ing the meeting the insurance men
were voluble in their statements that
there would be no raising of local in
surance rates and that things would
be allowed to remain as they were for
the next three months. In the mean
time suggestions for remedies to some
of the alleged fire insurance abuses
will be submitted to the city commits
sion and Culpepper Exum. president
of that body. has already assured
hearty cooperation as far as reason
aD1y possible.
Il gathered from the remarks of Mr..
Lowe of New Orleans, general agent of
the Liverpool, London and Globe In
surance companies" said President
Exum yesterday morning "that the
chief complaint is due to the agents
themselves in not giving proper atten-
tion to risks and by overinsuring.
After consultation the local agents
have assured me that they would do
smoothing to better existing conditions
and that in the meantime there would
be no change or increase for 80 days
in fire insurance rates of Birmingham
at least. The conditions that have
made the losses so heavy will be rem
edied whenever possible"
1t is now believed that the whole
matter will be arranged without fur
ther trouble and that fire rates in Bir-
mingham will be allowed to remain
where they are permanently.
