ROCK ISLANDER,
, WEEK MISSING,
FINALLY FOUND
W. L. Carver, Former General in
Russian Army, Turns Up at
Home OF Parents.

W. L. Carver, former general in
The Russian army. missing since
last Thursday, is found.
A telegram from his mother in
Cleveland, Ohio, reached his wife
and father, L. D. Carver, at the
residence in the Weishar apart
ments this morning that he had ar
rived at the home of his parents
in Cleveland.
THE telegram only said that he
was i'll and detained on the trip
but that he is now safe at home.
his sister told an Argus reporter
today. Mrs. Carver, my father
and myself will go to Cleveland at
once"
y Announcement today from the
Moline Pillow company with which
Mr.. Carver is employed as engineer
did not agree with the story told by
members Of the family. 1t was as
serted that he had been sent away
on a secret mission for the COM
pany, the nature of the business
being such that it was thought in
advisable to let even his wife and
parents know about it. There was
an evident desire on all sides to
head off the elaborate publicity
campaign that was started yester-
day in connection with the case.
Thus what yesterday was a
battling mystery, today had passed
the acute stage though it was evil
dent that not all the facts were be-
ing given out. The disappear
ance of Mr. Carver, who after his
wife had left on Tuesday for Cleve-
land was to follow her, arriving
there on Saturday to attend the
wedding of his sister, Saturday
night, but who mysteriously left
his apartments leaving his bag I'M
packed, brought some interesting
! information of his career and dis
closed that he at one time was a
general in the Russian army.
This new angle was brought to
light yesterday when it was re-
vealed that previous to his connec-
tions with his last concern he had
spent some time in Russia and was
there during the turmoil of the
revolution.
The theory had been advanced
by some that circumstances which
took place in Russia might have
had a direct bearing upon his mys-
FERROUS disappearance.
l.. D. Carver, his father, was in
Rock Island to superintend the
search for his son. Mr.. Carver is
master mechanic for a large man
ufacturing concern in Cleveland.
Countrywide Search.
The countrywide search for the
engineer was begun yesterday
when his wife, who arrived in Rock
Island from Cleveland, where her
husband was to have met her last
Saturday to attend the wedding of
his sister, announced that no trace
could he found of him in either
city.
He had made arrangements to

leave Rock Island last Thursday
afternoon for Cleveland. Mrs. Car
yer left Tuesday. When her hus-
band failed to arrive on the day of
the wedding she Immediately re-
turned to her home in the Weishar
apartments of this city. 1t was
learned upon her arrival that Car
yer had not taken his bag with
him. 1t was found in his room
unpacked.
1t was also learned that he had
large sum of money in his pos
session. His wife was inclined to
the belief that he had been robbed.
1t was also stated that he was in
impaired health.
First indications led to the the
DRY that young Carver had been
a victim of a holdup, but the mys-
teriousness of his disappearance
has lea to other things, particular
ly that he might have been an OBJ
ject of revenge by some party or
member of a party with whom
Carver came in contact during
the Russian revolution. He had
been in Russia on business at the
time.
In Revolution.
During the revolution and as
result of the conditions which
came with it, he was unable to get
money from the states and pass
port to carry him where he wish
ed. Just what took place and
whether OF not any individual
hatreds were aroused is not known

ceeded in arriving in Yokohama,
Japan. From there he wired to
his father for money, but before it
had a chance to reach him he
found other opportunities for
reaching the United States. and
sailed for California. When he ar
rived in San Francisco he had only
$215 in his possession.
His father mad planned a system
attic search that would cover the
country for miles around, to
spread the information of his dis
appearance. Newspapers in Chi
cago and Cleveland had been mott
fed to find information leading to
his whereabouts.
Cards had been printed with
photograph and description of him
and the father had engaged a boat
to take him to different points
down the river where ne was to
post and distribute them.

Blouses in one color are enlivened

for the blouse which is to be worn in
the evening, and narrow bands Of dark

advantage on lace and georgette.

1T is evident that blouses and Smocks
are aspiring to rival evening frocks
and the chances are that they are go
ing to succeed. There is no end to
the fanciful ways in which they are
made and nothing is too extravagant
in the way of trimming them. For din
ner and theater wear they have ad-
vantages and they appear in brilliant
and light colors, and in combinations
of two colors in materials, with dec
orations that call into play many ad-
ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the
apron blouse and the 'smock have a
gay future ahead of them.

filmy mediums in which evening
blouses are made. Worn with skirts
of black satin they achieve a toilette
that may be worn with assurance.
Among color combinations. emer-

crepe with gold lace, champagne with
black embroidery, peacock blue and
light green show the fondness for vir-
lie colors. There is new sort of dec

CREEL'S BUREAU in CONFUSION

: The committee on public informa-

government about $6,6OO,OO0 on the
face Of its records, according to official
reports now before congress, which say
the committees affairs cannot be

the confusion.
Chairman Creel and other officials
of the committee are charged with
gross negligence in handling the gov

GRAYS0N: Mr.. WILSON'S PHYSICIAN

A man who can serve one presi-
dent as naval aid and physician Is en-
titled to consideration. A man who
can serve three presidents SO different
in temperament as Theodore Roose-
velt, William II. Taft and Woodrow
Wilson can justly claim credit for
great professional skill and an even
higher mark of distinction for diplo-
macy of the very first order.
Carey Travis Grayson, rear ad-
