Der of the Federal Reserve Board.

ture.
After the receipt of the telegram Mr..
Warburg had a long-distance telephone
talk with Mr. Tumulty, secretary to the
President, and safu he had found his talk
with Senator Hitchcock very satisfac-
tory and that ne saw no reason why he
should not confer with the committee.
No time was set for Mr.. Warburg to
come to Washington.
Chairman Owen also received a tele-
gram from Mr.. Warburg in which the
tanker said he thought his appearance
could ''agreeably arranged"

SHOOT AT BURGLARS
AT PEAKS ISLAND, ME.

Portland, Me-, July 29.-The sixth
event within as many weeks to bur-
glarize Peaks Island place of bus
mess, was made about this morn
ing when two men were discovered
trying to pick a lock on the door Of
the combination lunch, fruit and no.
ton store owned and run by D. Mar
Nous on Island avenue, just south of
the Gen theater.
Two Greeks, employees of the place,
were asleep inside but were awakened
by the noise and, armed with a revolt
yer, made rush for them. The lat
ter, however, were too quick and es-
capped by jumping over the bank at
the back of the building and taking to
the brush that lines that part of the
beach. One of their pursuers fred four
shots at the fleeing figures and one of
them was seen TO fall, but he quick
ly regained his feet and disappeared
in the darkness in the same direction
taken by his confederate. 1t is believ
ed that he may have been slightly
wounded. though no blood stains
were discovered in a. careful survey of
the premises afterwards.
Officer Z. a. Dennison who was near
at hand. rushed to the spot on hear
ing the shots and, with James Feeney
and others aroused by the same
source, secured the surrounding terri
tory in the hope of discovering the
marauders. Handicapped by darkness
they were unable to find anything but
footprints which were finally lost in
the beaten roadway.
1t is the opinion of the police and
others familiar with the recent breaks
that have been made that this one
was not made by the same persons
who have operated in the other cases
for the reason that the other and more
successful attempts were manifestly
made by a professional who would
have been too wise to have attempted
to enter a place where people were
on guard inside. The work on the
lock of the place also bears the marks
of having been done by amateurs.

WEST GORHAM
WOMAN MISSING
SINCE TUESDAY
Harriet A. Morse, Age SO, Quiet
ly Disappears from Home
OF Her Daughter

Portland, Me, July 29.-Harriet A
Morse, SO years old, who lives with
her daughter, Mrs. Addie Littlefeld
at West Gorham, quietly disappeared
from home early yesterday morning,
and although search Of the terri
tory nearby has been made no trace
of her has been found. So far as
known she has been seen by only one
person, John Irish, a marketman, on
his way to Portland in the morning,
and not knowing her thought she liV-
ed in the neighborhood where he pass
ed her, at a point half mile distant
from the Littlefield home. Already the
woods in the vicinity of the home have
been searched, and a search is to be
made of Thompson's woods on the
road between Buxton and Gorham, an
extended stretch of woodland. Rela-
tives in other places have been noti-
fed, her daughter in this city, Mrs.
Edward w. Murphy, who went to
Gorham today, and Mrs. Morris Brew
er, who is expected from her home in
Massachusetts tonight.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Littlefield heard her moth
err about in her room, and fearing
that she might wander away, got up
and dressed. The mother got dressed
and out of the house before the daugh-
ter could get down and when a search
of the immediate premises was made
by the latter no trace of the aged wo-
man could be found. Joseph Caldwell,
who had boarded at the home of late,
as the daughter had feared that her
mother might wander away and felt
safer wit a man in the house, in
view of this, was awakened and aft
er dressing hastily ne went to Brandy
brook nearby, and also searched build
ings and the immediate grounds about
the home. No trace was found.
1t was about $50 that John Irish in
driving toward Portland with a load
of farm produce, passed an aged wo-
man answering the description of Mrs.
Morse, half a mile from her daugh-
ter's home. The woman was walking
slowly and did not appear agitated or
otherwise give any indication of be-
ing out for any purpose but a little
walk. This was near the cemetery
and a search has been made in that
vicinity, but without finding the wo
man or learning of anyone else who
saw her. The cemetery is opposite Ev
erett Files, but nothing had been seen
of the woman by the members of that
family.
Mrs. Morse has been ILL., and her
mind has been slightly affected She
has expressed a desire to visit her old
home in Oakland and has been quite
persistent in this expression. 1t is
thought that she may have started out
with this in mind, but with no definite
plan for carrying out her wish. Her
condition is somewhat frafl, as the re-
suit of her recent illness, and fear for
her safety is thus increased.
Yesterday search was made by some
of the men in West Gorham, the vigil
being kept up until well into the night
by the aid of lanterns. The number
of searchers has been increased today,
and a definite search will probably be
organized.
