training and recreation for the more than
$50 children of foreign born women who
come from Philadelphia, Wilmington,
| Baltimore and other cities to work In the
the summer season.
Under the new plan the children will
no longer run wild, q danger to them
selves and to the community, but will be
carefully trained and cared for during the
day-tim while their mothers are other
wise employed The schedule of the

Laurel, July 15.-The authorities have
not yet unraveied the mysterious disap-
pearance Of Meiba, the two-year-old
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest l..
Bailey, who vanished from almost in front
Of her mothers eyes just before 3 O'Clock
Sunday evening and was stumbled over
at nearly II by Charles Green and his
wife, out in the country, al least a quarter
of mile away from the nearest town light
on lonely slightly used country road
Mrs. Bailey SAYS the child was taken out
the back door to an alley leading 70 Fifth
street, Just before dark. She had Just
stepped out Of the room into another,
leaving the door ajar, and in a moment
or two spoke to the baby whom she had
left in the first room. Hearing nothing,
she stepped back into the room and
found that the little girl had vanished.
The screen door leading out on the bark
porch. which the mother declares was
fastened was found unlocked, although
the hook had been placed so high that she
does not believe the child could have un-
fastened II, even by standing upon a chair.
and there was neither chair nor stick or
anything else near with which the little
tot could have unlocked the door, neither
did she hear any noise Of opening OF
closing Of the door Several people here
are positive that they saw a strange un-
couth appearing man with the child just
before 8 O'Clock and although among
the two or three suspects, the evidence
seems to point toward a man who is a
comparative stranger in the town, vet
there are a number OF weak links in the
chain.
The child. who can speak only few
words, can throw no light on the matter.

DROWNING At LEWES.

Lcwes. July 15.-While bathing with a
number of playmates Tuesday afternoon
little Everett Rogers, years Old let him
| self slide from life-preserver on which he
| had been floating, sinking into deep water
| and drowning. His ody was recovered
six hours later. The onlv one in the inn
! mediate vicinity to see him sink was his
brother Francis, 9 years old, who waded
ashore and ran some distance to Gray &
bathhouse crying for his brother and
pointing to the floating life-preserver. As
was customary in the afternoon the surf
had a number of bathers near the Queen
Anne pier, but no one recalls having heard
an outcry for assistance from the drowned
boy or his brother. Several rowboats were
further out, men were standing on the
pier and cottagers sitting on their porches,
all of whom could have rendered assist
ance but the little fellow sank without an
outcry, did not RISE and Francis brought
the news of his disappearance when he
came in.
Physicians were summoned and the
Life Saving Service, in charge of Captain
John $. Lynch, started work at 3 clock,
a short while after the lad disappeared,
dragged the beach with 60-fathom fish
net, but were unsuccessful after going over
the course seven or eight times. Work was
suspended until later in the evening at
low tide. Hundreds of people from Lewes
came to the beach and watched and
waited while the men worked, in the hope
of seeing his body recovered. Men familiar
with the shore thought the body was en-
tangled in the wrecsage of an old car float,
which sank there years ago and despaired
of recovering the body.
Work was again resumed by the Life
Guard at o. clock, Captain Lynch bring
ing out several service boats and various
dragging equipment with which the sandy
bottom was scrapcd for an hour or more.
About s o'clock Suriman George Chase,
handling the oars, and Clarence Richards.
dragging with a clam rake, moved an
object, dislodging it from the bed of sand
and was seen to haul the lad up by his
legs. His father was notified and came to
the beach, taking his son home in an auto
mobile. The boy will be buried today.
The drowned boy was the youngest of l3
children of Mr.. and Mrs. John Rogers of
Lewes. He had been forbidden going to
the beach, but had run away from home
that afternoon, unknown to his parents,
joining other neighbors' children, one of
whom, after the drowning, ran all the
way to Lewes, nearly mile, to tell the
boys father about the accident.
