rs STRANGELY MISSING.
Robert T. Lapp, Travelling Salesman,
Disappeared Last Week.

Brattleboro, June 4--Robert 7. Lapp,
travelling salesman for Ingersoll Brothers
of New York, Ingersoll watch makers,
was in Brattleboro on Tuesday night of
last week, staying at the Brooks house,
going from here to Bellows Falls, and
since Wednesday night he has not been
seen or heard from in that town. His
automobile, In which he had been trav-
cling, was found Friday against fence
two miles north of Bellows Falls, and
it is thought that in collision he was
thrown into the Connecticut river and
drowned.
Landlord +. G. Willis Of the Hotel
Windham in Bellows Falls has been busy
sending kilograms and answering tele-
phone inquiries regarding the mysterious
disappearance.
Lapp visited the trade in that village
Wednesday and that afternoon left in
his Ford to visit Springfield, saying that
he would be back TO the hotel to occupy
his room that night. When nothing had
been heard of him Friday afternoon, Mr..
Willis made inquiry and found that
Lapp's automobile had collided with the
fence couple of miles north of Bel
lows Falls on the New Hampshire side
of the Connecticut on the return trip,
presumably Wednesday night. A fence
post was knocked over, the headlights
broken and the box in the rear had been
broken into and books and correspond
ence were scattered about. AT the place
where the accident happened it is only
10 or Is feet from the Connecticut river.
Mr.. Willis theory is that Mr.. Lapp
was thrown into the river and lost his
life by drowning. He wrote to the house
in New York City, but because Of holt
day and Sunday, did not get a reply
until Monday, stating that they knew
nothing of Mr., Laps whereabouts. An
effort was made to reach his wife at
the home in Wakefield, Mass, but it was
found that she was visiting her parents
in New York City. 1t was found that
Lapp was a member Of Somerville coun.
Gil of United Commercial Travellers of
America. The river may be dragged.

BLIND INVENTOR.
Former Rochester Boy a Genius in New
Ideas,

Ideas.
Frederick W. Prendergast, formerly of
Rochester, now of Cambridge, Mass, has
an apparatus which its inventor asserts
promises to recover any sunken ship that
can be located. Blind since youth he
believes he has solved method for sal
vaging ships. The principle of the in
vention is embodied in an expansible
cradle formed by air-tight infatable
bags, engaged with weighted cable,
which can be lowered into positions
around the submerged hull and confined
there by a locking device. When in
flated the bags adjust themselves close.
ly to the sides of the hull, lifting it up
ward to the surface These bags, or pom
toons, are made Of any inAatable mate
rial, such as heavy canvas, made air
tight and water tight with rubber, and
in any size needed Each bag is pro-
jected within fabric sheath woven from
heavy cord or rope, through the lower
edge of which the cable passes. A spiral
weave with unit of rope is used to give
strength to the sheath. Tubes are pro-
vided for admitting air.
The inventor points out wherein a
crldle formed of yielding pontoons pos
sesses notable advantages for this pur.
pose over those made of metal. Ordi-
narily huge steel cylinders have to be
towed into position over the wreck, filled
with water to sink them, then pumped
out before air can be forced in. Divers
often find it matter of extreme diff.
Guilty and danger to harness them up tc
the wreck, and months may be con.
sumed in the task.
1t adds to the interest of these inven.
tions that the man who worked them
out has been blind almost since boy.
hood. In spite of that handicap, Fred.
erick w. Prendergast has done great
deal of mechanical work. He went tc
Massachusetts, from Vermont about &c
years ago. His early life was spent on
a farm near Rochester, where later he
built and, for number OF years, oper
ated sawmill, getting out lumber and
shingles. Whenever short of help he
was able to run the saws and planer him.

own filing and setting. 1t is considered
quite difficult to set planer, since the
knives have to be very exact in order
to do smooth work.
