HUNDREDS HUNT
MISSING YOUTH
Foul Play Feared as Four
Miles of Creek Yield
No Clues.

Lynchburg. Va. Aug. 15.-The
unaccounted-for disappearance of
Lafayette Drinkard, son of James
Drinkard. of eastern Campbell
County late Thursday night. has
led to a search which has stirred
portions of Campbell and Appomat-
tox counties in no small way, for
the disappearance was in the sec
ton which has for several weeks
been the scene of repeated highway
rObberies.
Appearances are that the young
man was drowned fOrdinE Beaver
Creek while it was swollen, but
relatives hold to foul play idea be
cause Drinkard knew the creek too
well to attempt to cross it with such
a freshet raging.
When he started for home at II
o'clock he told his uncle, William
Drinkard. that he would drive
around the freshet, but his buggy
was found in the creek and the
horse. which led to t&e discovery of
the fact that Drinkard was missing,
was found about noon Friday.
Hundreds of men aided in a search
of four miles of the creek, but this
disclosed none of his personal ef-
fects or his body.

WOMAN PLANS
REFORM LAWS
Lady Astor, Member of Par
Lament Committee, to
Regulate Prostitution.
By CONSTANCE DRENEL.

Copyright, 1890. by Public Ledger CO..
Lady Astor is a member of the
special joint committee of both
houses of Parliament established TO
deal with bills proposing reform OF
laws and regulations dealing with
prostitution. The membership OF
the committee is as follows: From
the House of Lords, Lord MuirMaC-
kcnzie, chairman; Earls Beau
champ. MaImsbury. Pembroke. On
slow and Wemyss; from the House
of Commons, Viscountess Astor, Sir
T. Bramsdon, Major FarQUharson,
Mr.. MaddoCks, Colonel Parry and
Mr.. Wignall.
Two alternative proposals for the
reRrm of the laws and regulations
dealing with prostitution were re-
Gently considered by the House of
Lords. one known as the Bishop of
London's Dill and the other Lord
Sandhurst's. Both of the bills have
been referred to the above joint
committee. Its sessions have not
yet begun, but its proceedings will
be watched with interest, as the
measures already proposed are de-
manding just and more equal
treatment OF offenses against social
morality.
The inclusion of a woman on a
committee TO deal with these sub
jects is a new departure. Incident
ally it may be mentioned that Wis
count and Niscountess Astor are
working hand in hand for these
great reformatory measures. Nis-
count Astor is parliamentary secre-
tary to the Ministry Of Health and
is taking a leading part in the bat
tie for a higher standard OF moral
ity in his adopted country.
