Disappearance of E. M. Bateman.
Rock Island Blacksmith. Driv-
ing Vile Frantic.

Where is E. NJ. Bateman. aged
43, who has been missing since the
night of Feb. 20?
He has had no trouble that his
relatives know of nor has he any
enemies. His wife, who is now
living at Aledo, is distracted and is
becoming frantic. She fears that
her husband has met with foul
play and that his disappearance is
not his own volition.
Bateman, who was operating a
blacksmith shop at AIS Seven
teenth street, Rock Island, at the
time he disappeared, was last seen
by a man by the name of FitZpat-
rick. That was on Seventeenth
street, between Second and Third
avenues.
He had been gone for a week be-
fore Mrs. Bateman was notified by
an employee in the Bateman shop.
She Immediately notified the po-
lice here and left his picture at the
police headquarters.
Bateman has blue eyes and wears
a mustache. Every tooth in his
mouth is of gold and Identification
by them would be easy, should he
be met. He was wearing a fur
overcoat when last seen.
Weekly visits were paid Mrs
Bateman at Reynolds by her hus-
band when he worked at Rock Is
land. prior to starting the black
smith shop in January. The last
Sunday in February, Bateman did
not return as usual, but Mrs. Bate
man thought nothing of it, believ-
ing that some business matters
prevented him.
Mrs. Bateman lives at 604 East
Eighth street, Aledo.

than one-third the full electoral
strength was out.
The women's vote was very light
and the mems fell way below ne

while the candidates for township
office made strong campaigns in all
three parties, the center OF inter

Election returns should begin TO
come in early today because OF the

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 16.-Fur
trimmed bathing suits are the latest
craze in this city of fashion and
startling innovations. The newest
innovation was worn by the sum
mer girl here today. Rabbit skins
are used as collars and fur garters
. also are seen. The fur is so treated
that it revives Immediately in the
gay sunshine after being immersed
in old Neptune's domain.
Fishy bathing suits are swimming
right into favor. Denizens of the
deep, in brilliant coloring character
isti of fish caught in the tropics,
are used effectively on black silk
suits. Some times the surf rig is
perfectly plain with the fish motif
introduced on the rubber caps and
stockings. One-piece bathing suits
will be tabooed at the shore next
summer. Early notice was served
this week so that milady will have
no excuse as to ignorance OF the
stern edict. This varying was given
out as guide to manufacturers OF
stylish bathing rainent for fair
fernininity.
Bare knees are also taboo Dr..
Charles L. Bossert, chief beach CEN
sor, says: 1--WE will not tolerate
one-piece bathing suits for women
as long as l am in charge of the
bathing grounds. The body must
be adequately covered, The rule
for the wearing of stockings by
women will continue in force. l do
not aim to be prudish, but we must
draw the line somewhere to save
appearances.
The first fur-trimmed bathing suit
created quite a furore here. 1t was
worn by a prominent Philadelphia
society girl on the exclusive beach
