search FOR YOUTH

Year Ago

Mystery surrounds the continued
absence Of Edgar Duncan Stewart,
aged twenty-one years, whose parents

Marcus Hook and the Texas Oil fields.
This was in October, 1912, and since
that time nothing has been heard
Of the young man.
His parents have enlisted the aid Of
Congressman Peters, of Massa-
chusetts, who has been in communi-
cation with the officials of the Sun
Company and the crew of the ship,
but this brought no tidings concern
ing the absent young man. Congress
man Peters ia turn placed the matter
In the hands of Shipping Commits
sioner Smith, who is conducting a
rigid investigation, and no stone IS
being left unturned to learn the
whereabout of young Stewart.
The parents are greatly alarmed
over their sens continued absence,
and grave fears are now entertained
for his safety They have done
everything possible to solve the mys-
terry surrounding his disappearance
but to no avail, and as last means
have turned the matter over TO the
government officials.
