DOCTOR VANISHES
ON HIS WAY TO WE'D;
RED PLOT FEARED
William Grey Vermilye, of
This City, MySteriouSly Fails
to Appear for Ceremony.
GUESTS LEAVE CHURCH.
Missing Bridegroom-Elect Left
New York Hotel-Helped
Round Up Radicals.

MONSON. Mass, Dec. 26.-Dr. Will
lam Grey Nermilyc Of New York, Il
former naval surgeon, failed to appear
for his wedding WITH Miss Ruth NJ.
Neeney OF this town yesterday, and
to-day his absence was still unex-
p,ained. Miss Keeney who resigned
as professor Of Spanish at Bucknell
University to marry DR.. Vernnyc. was
reported III at the home Of her par
ents, but bearing up under the disap-
2ointment with the belief that her
lance would yet appear,
Guests at the cNpcc led wedding,
who crowded the McthodigJ Church,
were dismissed by the Rev, Herbert
Is. buckingham with the word that
DR.. Vermilye had not been heard
from since he left New York hotel
supposedly on the way 10 be married.
The Rev. Mr.. buckingham this morn
ing said the family OF Miss Keeney
had had no later word. Tho wedding
lie said, II performed, would be at
the keeney home.
Mr.. Buckingham said he and Miss
keeney's family felt that DR.. Yer
n,ilye's absence was due to violence.
Tho expected bridegroom, he ex-
piamed, mad been engaged in Federal
service m rounding up radicals eince
his discharge from the Navy, and ar
rived III New York last Friday from
"A South American trip, in which he
had supervised the deportation to Co.
lombia of Red" This fact, he
added, suggested the possibility OF
radical activities being responsible
for DR.. Vcrmilye's non-apearance.
Miss Kceney and DR.. Vermilyc met
in South America two years ago. He
was visitor at her home here for a
week last summer. Both graduated
from Middle Western Colleges aud
completed their education at German
universities.
Miss Kccncy, returning from Buck
ncl University, saw her tiancC at New
York last Saturday, when he accom-
panied her 10 the train. Subsequently
he wired the hour of his expected ar
rival for the wedding. When ne did
not appear, inquiry was made by tcle-
phone at the New York hotel at which
he was staying, but the only inforrma.
ton there was that he had left Wed
heslay morning supposedly to the
married.
George L. Keeney. father OF the
bride-elect, said this afternoon that
DR.. Vermjlye had been recently in
the service OF the United States Ship
ping Board, and that his recent trip
to South America IN connection with
the deportation Of radicals WAS in
behalf Of the Shipping Board.

Federal Trade Commissions
Work Not Stopped by the
Palmer Compromise.
CURB ON BIC BUSINESS.
Commission Reports to PreSi-
dent Its Intention to Go On
% With Prosecutions.
By DGUid Laurence.
Especial Correspondent of The Eve
ning WORLDLY

WASHlNGIONt Det. 20 tCOpy-
right 1g19).-The troubles Of the
Chicago packers are by no means
over. What the Department OF
Justice has done in compromising
a suit brought under the Sherman
Antitrust law will not swerve the
Federal Trade Commission from its
course in bringing proceedings in
thirty-one different cCses in which
il Is alleged that the packers are
violating the Federal Trade Com
mission law with reference to un-
falr competition.
The full significance of a little
statement issued recently, rather
vaguely worded at the time but con-
veying nevertheless the intentions
Of the Federal Trade Commission, is
iasts beginning to be apparent. 1t
develops that the commission was
fully aware of the negotiations be-
tween the Department OF Justice
and the packers and prepared the
statement Of its position to be
issued conincidentally with the an
nouncement of the compromise
reached by the Attorney General.
In many quarters, the Federal
Trade Commissions position was
promptly interpreted as dissatisfac-
Non with the course OF the Depart
inent OF Justice, and the fact that the
commission addressed its letter to the
President and asked for continuance
" his confidence was construed as
the outcropping Of an inter-depart-
mental quarrel
But that isn't tho situation. The
feeling between the Federal Trade
commission and the Department OF
Justice is friendly and cooperative.
There is a perfect UNDERSTANDING OF
tho scope and jurisdiction Of each
branch of the Government with ref
erepce TO the suits against the pack
ers.
The Federal Trade Commission
furnished to the Department Of JUS
tice much of the evidence which was
used in the suit brought under the
sherman law. That is only one OF
,ts functions. however. Under other
laws IL is charged with the duty OF
compelling big business" TO desist
from unfair trade practices and its
orders are subject 10 affirmation or
reversal in the United States Court
Of Appeals.
So while the packers may reach an
agreement with the department of
Justice as to their dissertation from
rclatcd lines OF business constituting
a monopoly, that has nothing TO do
with the work Of the Federal Trade
Commission under other laws,
Rig QUESTION YET TO BE SET
TIED IN PACKERS CASE.

Chicago, Dec. 27.--A shortage of 1 100000 cattle in the year just closing will cause high prices for beef and beef products for at least the next seven years, it is declared by M. F. Horine, statistician of the Union Stock Yards, in his an- nual report made public today.
 MT. Horine says it will be i'm possible to make good the short age of 1919 before 1927 and that the department of agriculture's re- port concerning the number of cattle in the United States is too optimistic. of all kinds received at the union stock yards for the year 1919 over 1918 is reported. Cattle receipts however, decreased 100000.
 Decreases in cattle slaughtered are also reported at the markets in Kansas City, Omaha, St. Jos eph, St. Louis and Sioux City.

Spain to Profit
 on Silver Increase

Madrid, Dec. 27.-Spain is likely to make a nice profit through the increased price of silver by the sale of 10000 kilograms (88,160 pounds) of that metal, which the government secured when it called in "sevillanos" dollars, ten years ago.
 These dollars, which were minted by a private individual, were cur rent in Spain for a number of years and up to the time the gov ernment declared them to be not legal tender, they were used freely in trade. The governmnt finally called them in and now is reaping the benefit.
