etbook and looked 20 instead of 16
Miss Heating and her father started
from Boston for Albany, where they
were to change cars for Peekslkill. Just
previous to the train pulling into South
Framingham Mr. Heating left his par
lor seat to smoke, returning as the train
was possibly Is or 20 miles from this
city to find his daughter gone.
Believing she had gone to the women's
washroom, the father waited a few min
utes, but when the train approached
Worcester became worried and started
search OF all cars with the aid of the
conductor. No trace of the girl could
be found and the father alighted In
Worcester and wired South Framingham
and then notified the local police
The police of Worcester and South
birmingham traced the girl to the lat
ter city. where it was said she boarded
a trolley car for Worcester. No reason
for leaving the train is given by the
wealthy Dallas attorney, other than the
fact that his daughter was unwilling to
return to the Peekskill school, He was
asked If 1t was not possible that ro-
nance was responsible. and he answered
that as far as he knew there was none.

LIQUOR QUESTION
STTRS DELAWARE
AS LEADING ISSUE
Lower Portion of State Espe-
cially Interested in Subject
of License and Party Lines
Disregarded.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 29.-Poli-
ticians of all parties are worried over
the prohibition question In this county
they are of the opinion that the vets
will be in a majority and that the ques-
ton OF license will not figure largely in
the campaign, but in the lower portion
of the State the situation is mixed, and
no one can tell what the effect is going
to be.
II Is said the wet and dry" lines
are closer drawn In the lower part of
the State than ever before and that resi-
dents are aligning themselves OH this
issue more than with the political parties
In one district a Democrat has been
nominated who Is dry" man and the
Republicans there say that they will sup
port him because he Is dry" In an
other district a Republican nominated
for office may be dry" and the dry
Democrats are apparently with him to a
man. The same division Is being made
on men who are wet"
The Progresslves by declaring for State
dry" votes, but this they will not do.
The wet and dry" people will vote
for the men who favor them regardless
of party lines, because they consider this
the most important question which Is to
come before the Legislature.
Two years ago the question was not
so strongly drawn in respect to legislative
candidates, because there was United
States Senator to be elected, and the
"wets" and "drys" put aside their diff
ferences in order to assist in the cleo
tion Of man of their own party to the
Senate, but this year there is no SEN
ator to be elected. 1t is therefore re-
garded as important by those interested
in the liquor question that they should
elect men OF their own views.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept 29.-Vacan-
cies on Democratic local tickets through
out the State were filled today by the
Democratic State Executive Committee
at meeting at State headquarters here
The meeting, scheduled for noon, did not
get under way until some time after that
hour and continued all afternoon. Mem
bers of the committee denied absolutely
any idea of discussing fusion with the
Washington party on United States Sem

This committee has no authority to con-
slider one IL it did come before us. There

These vacancies in almost every case

largely perfuuctory, as the committee
followed recommendations of local lead
ers already announced in news dis

that vacancies IN any Congressional,
