DEALER, VANISHES AND
LEAVES NO CLUE.
LAST HEARD FROM AT
HANCOCK, IOWA, AUG. II
Business Involved May be Cause of
Leaving-Creditor Serves Notice of
Application for Receiver-MiIlhise
Wrote His Wife, Aug. Is, That He
Was Going to ON aha.

s. F.. Millhiser, 46 years old, an ag-
ricultural implement dealer, LOG East
Church street, with residence at Clio
Fremont street, has disappeared. Alb
sent and unaccounted for since Aug.
16, his whereabouts, if alive, is cause
for the gravest concern on the part
OF his wife and his disappearance is
a mystery. The only cause ton his
disappearance may have been finAn-
cial troubles in his business. That he
was involved is shown by original
notice served late Thursday on Mrs.
Milhiser by the Keller ManAactur-
ing Company, Minneapolis, asking
that a receiver for the business be
appointed. The hearing was set for
10 o'clock Saturday morning.
Millhiser left this city Aug. II,
went to Hancock, Pottawattamie
county, where he remained with
friends until Aug. II, when he left,
saying he was going to Omaha The
last word Mrs. Millhiser received
from him was letter written at
Hancock, and mailed at Avoca, Aug.
16. In 1t he said II think will go to
Omaha tomorrow for day or SO
and then home"
Has Dropped From Sight.
Since then Mrs. Millhiser has had
no news of his whereabouts. An in
ouiry to the friends at Hancock
brought surprise that he had not
returned home, but no information,
save that he left there Aug. II. say
ing he was going to Omaha. Tele-
grams and letters to relatives in
Colorado and California. where Mill
hiser might have gone, brought no
information regarding him.
Mrs. Millhiser fears tragedy may
have overtaken him. She does not be-
lieve, however, that, If In his right

returned. The case has been settled

concerned, by the payment Of costs
of repairs by Keeter to Elmer Par
sons, Of State Center, whose car
Keefer is alleged to have struck. The
fact that damages had been settled
and the guilt Of the defendant was
not shown in the evidence led to the
jury reporting mo BILL" 1t being the
opinion that the settlement should be
approved without criminal prosecu-
ton following.

by the municipal court on a charge
Of larceny. it being. alleged that he

The Knights Of Columbus are
anxious to give the young men of the

WOMEN CAN VOTE NOW.
No Further Legislation Needed to
Give Suffrage in Louisiana.


Give Suffrage in Louisiana.
Former Governor Luther E. Hall
acting attorney general of the state
declared no additional legislation is
needed in Louisiana to enable women
to vote in the national election this
fall, in refutation of a statement
from Washington suffrage headquar.
ters Saturday night that women OF
this state might find themselves un-
able to cast their ballots.
"All that the women have to do is
to register when the registration
books are open again after the pri-
maries of September H." Attorney
Hall said, in response to an inquiry.
He added, "No additional legislation
is necessary in this state to enable
women to vote in the coming general
elections"
Suffrage headquarters in Wash
ington made the statement that Lou
isiana, New Jersey and Mississippi
are the only states in which women
may find themselves unable to vote
in the national elections. The state
ment said that all other states were
said to have either officially held that
adequate provisions for this purpose
were on their statute books
or the passage of enabling legisla-
tion had been arranged.
Attorney General Robertson of
Mississippi wrote national suffrage
headquarters that the state constitu-
lion requirement of registration at
least four months prior to an cleo
ton precluded any hope Of women
foting in that state.
Party leaders stated that they had
received no replies from the attorney
general of Louisiana and New Jer-
ey to requests regarding the status
# women voters, hnd accordingly
he situation was in doubt in those
tates. Attorney Hall says he sent
n his report as quoted above to suf-
rae headquarters Times-Picayune.
