HOLLAR STILL MISSING.
Washington Police Asked to Renew
Search for Hospital Patient.

w. F. Stuart, of Alexandria, on
Sunday visited Inspector Grant, chief
of detectives, and asked that search
be renewed for Louis Hollar, a pat
lent at Walter Reed Hospital, who
escaped last Tuesday from that in
stitution. Stuart is Hollar's father
in-law, and he fears the missing man
died in the woods after escaping
from the hospital.
Hollar, who was a member Of the
Alexandria Light Infantry, started
for the border shortly after he under
went an operation, was taken sick in
Richmond and returned for treatment
at Walter Reed Hospital. Six police
men searched the woods for the miss
ing man without finding any trace OF
him, and Sunday Detective Armstrong
was assigned to participate in the
investigation.
The Washington police We're told
of rumor that there was an au.
tomobile near the hospital, the morn
ing when Hollar escaped, clad only
in his pajamas, and soldiers on duty
there suggested it was possible he
had gone away in the car.

MAY ABANDON PARADE.
Simple Inaugural Ceremonies OF
March 5, Urged.

Friends of President Wilson hav-
ing learned that he is inclined to dis
countenance the idea Of inaugu-
ration celebration are prepared 10
suggest to him that the inaugural
parade likewise be abandoned and
the ceremony or March a or be
made us simple as possible.
1t is pointed out that the inaugu-
ration date falls on Sunday, that the
formal oath Of office will be admins
tered on that day and that the usual
inaugural parade would have to be
held the following day, if held at all
There would be little point to such
a parade after the Inauguration prop,
er was over.
The program that will be proposed
will consist of the delivery Of an m
augural address either in the Senate
chamber or on the front balcony OF
the capitol, to be followed by a public
march to the White House. This
march would be attended only by a
modest escort and the ceremony
would end there.
Such a proposal will meet with
stubborn opposition from the busl
ness interests of Washington, which
profit largely by the enormous in
augural crowds, but it is believed il
would be favorably received by the
country as whole.
In the past inaugural parades have
been composed largely Of state troop:
This year all state troops have seel
many months of active service in th'
field and not many Of them woult
relish junket to Washington in ad
dition. Moreover, Inauguration wealth
er is proverbially bad and hundred
of people have lost their lives as
casions.
result of exposure upon such oc
1t is practically settled that the in
augural ball will not be revived thi
year. Neither the President nor hi
household favor the idea and, OF
course. their wishes in this connec
:ticn will prevail Just as they did lou
years ago. The only question to Il

.ECHO OF THE DROWNNGtl0Ok F0RTHEIR RETURN
People in Richmond Believe Virginia
Soldiers VIII Be Back Home by
Christmas

Prospects for the early return OF
the two Virginia infantry regiments
I on duty in Texas are considered
bright by AdjutantGeneral W. W..
Sale, who has just returned from
Washington. where he has been in
conference With War Department Off
cials for several days While no de-
finite information was secured by
General Sale, he shares the opinion
. Of Senator Claude A. Swanson and
! Congressman Carter Glass, that the
Virginia infantrymen will eat Christ
mas dinner at home.
Information was sought by Cen
eral Sale on the prospects for the
return of the Virginia troops, who
are now entering upon their sixth
month of service Conditions on the
border however, seem little brighter,
and he got no official information.
From Virginia representatives in
| Congress he secured some encour2
cement. rs all OF them are working
for the return Of the boys, and are
confident that the infantry at least
has change to come back in the near
future.
In event the Virginia infantry is
ordered home. both regiments will
be brought to Richmond, according
to plans now in mind. General Sale
! has secured the use Of all three To-
! cal armorics for the use Of the re-
turning troops, and they will be
quartered in the local buildings while
the formalities fmustering out are
being complied with. 1t will probably
require a week or ten days to at
tend to all Of the details. which in
cIudc the final payment of all the
men, and their return to the State
service.
Upon the return of the Virginia
guardsmen to the State service, they
will be again required to subscribe
to the Federal oath to serve three
years actively and three years in re-
serve Their pay for weekly drills
will depend upon their compliance
with that feature Of the Hay bill.

YOUNG WOMAN SLAIN
Husband Locked Up on Suspicion
He Says it Was Suicide

Borf,antown. n. j.. Nov. 81. -
With the back Of her head blown on
bv a charge of bird shot, the body
Of Mrs. Bertha Cook. 23 years old,
was found Sunday afternoon about
o'clock in the kitchen Of her home
No. 229 Spring street. Edward
Cook. also 23 years old, said his wife
had shot herself while he was up
stairs writing letter, but Coroner
Gaskill declares that the wound III
the woman's head is such as to pre-
cludc any possibility that she fired
the terribly fatal shot. County Fro
sccutor Kelsey therefore ordered
Cook imprisoned on suspicion until
the investigation can be completed.
Cook was taken to the burlington
county Jail.
Cook, who had been employed as Il
laborer at a brick works at White
Hill, married Bertha Smith, of While
Hill, in March last. They lived in APP
parent happiness for time, but the
inevitable triangle entered the home.
1t is said that Cook was giving at
tention to another woman and his
| wife upbraided him for it. They are
said to have quarreled frequently
and at last decided to separate. They
had lived apart for several months
when recently reconciliation was
affected and they started life over.
