WAR HERO MISSING
FROM SHIP .AT SEA
Colonel WhittlescX Disappears cI
Route to Cuba Officer Won
Fame During World War.

famous lost hatallion," has disap-
peared from the steamship Toloa on
which he sailed Saturday for Habana,
according to a wireless message re-
ccived here today.
News Of the disappearance Of the
famous soldier came in the following
message received from the captain Of
the ship: Passenger named c.. w.
Whittlesey disappeared. Left several
letters"
Officials Of the United Fruit Line,
operators of the ship, confirmed the
fact that the passenger in question
was Lieutenant Colonel Whittlescy
through his relatives.
Members Of Mr.. Whittleseys law
firm here were at q loss to account
for his proposed visit to Cuba. When
he left the offices of the firm Friday
he announced his intention, they said,
Of attending the Army-Navy game on
the following day.
1t has since been learned that Col
onel Whittlesey purchased a ticket for
Habana the following morning and
sailed that day.
Mind Seemed Clear.
His business associates declared
that his mind was clear and that he
apparently was in good health other
wise when last seen. He seemed
cheerful, they added. and declared
they were unable to explain his SEEM
ingly strange action in going away as
he did without notifying them Of his
plans.
G. W. Whittlesey, the soldiers
uncle, tonight said that Colonel
Whittelsey attended the services for
the unknown dead at Washington on
.trnlistice day and had since appeared
depressed. Mr.. Whittlescy said that
he last saw his nephew on Friday
evening and that he did not notice
any decided change in his demeanor
at that time.
Colonel Whittlesey, who was SO and
| unmarried, lived in q bachelor apart
ment on East Forty-fourth street.
When he appeared ut breakfast Sat-
urday morning he brought suit case
down from his room. He did not
say where he was going and his
friends did not consider the circum-
stance unusual because he was in the
! h;,oit OF making frequent week end
ana business trips.
Colonel Whittlesey is the son Of Mr. &.
a:.I Mrs. Frank 2. Whittlesey of
'.itsfield, Mass. He has two broth
els. Elisha of Pittsfield and Melzar Of
this city.
Won Fame Overnight.
The crisp, laconic reply: You go
to hell" hurled into the teeth Of q
German officer who called, on him
and his men to surrender, was the
rhetorical battlefield classic which
brought Colonel Whittlesey into fame
over night.
Surrounded in the &Argonne with his
command, the first battalion OF the
Three Hundred and Eighth infantry,

had been cut off for four days with

crossed the line. He bore message
asking the Americans TO surrender,

A raid was made late last night by
Detectives Cogan and Hogan. of In
spectator Bocttler's staff, on the Cafe
des Artistes, l West Sixty seventh
Street. Thirty or forty couples in
evening dress left the premises hur-
riedly when Charles Bascaglia, said
by the police to be owner and manager
of the cafe, was placed under arrest
When the detectives entered they
were met by Bascaglia, who said he
recognized them as police officers and
inquired whether they wished to search
the place. He led the way toward the
cellar and en- route said something in
foreign language to one of his wait
ers. who threw napkin over a milk
shaker standing on the sideboard and
started for the kitchen with it. De-
tectve Hogan intercepted the man and
says he found that the shaker con-
tained quart of gin.
The police say that Bascaglia re-

The Next Story: "The Cubs Talk
It Over"
New-York tribune., 1921-04-21

The instant they saw Mother Bear
the twins stopped bawling. Nothing
could harm them now. They knew it.
Mother would take care of them. Of
that there wasn't shadow of a doubt
IN the minds of Boxer and Wool
Woof. Hanging on with every claw
of hands and feet, they leaned out as
far as they could to see what would
happen to that great Black Bear who
had frightened them so.
But nothing happened to Buster
Bear, for, as you know, that is who
had chased them up a tree. Nothing
happened to Buster, for the very good
reason that he didn't wait for any
thing to happen. Buster was doing
no waiting at all. In fact, he was NOV
ing. so fast and at the same time
trying to watch behind him that he
didn't even pick his path. He bumped
into trees and stumbled over logs in
way that, to say the least, was not
at all dignified. But Buster was In
100 much OF hurry to think of dig
NIFTY. There was something about the
looks of Mother Bear as she tore altar
him that made him feel sure that he
would find it much pleasanaer in an
other part of the Green Fvrest, and
ne was in hurry to get there.
Mother Bear didn't follow him far
just far enough to make sure that
ne intended to keep right on going.
Then, growing dreadful threats. she
turned to hurry back to the tree in
which the cubs were. Boxer and Woof-
Woof were already scrambling down
as fast as they could, whimpering a
little, for though they felt wholly safe
now, they were not yet over their
fright. She reached the foot of the
tree just as they reached the ground.
She sat up and the twins rushed to
her and snuggled as close to her as
they could get. Mother Bear put a
big arm around each and patted them
gently. 1t was surprising how gentle
great big Mother Bear could be.
"Wha-wha-whar would that awful
fellow have done to 50" asked Woof-
Woof. crowding still closer to Mother
Bear.

Stillman Hearing
N ar; Detectives
In Canada Recalled
Testimony in Divorce Suit
Will Begin May 4 in
Poughkeepsie, but Ref
cree May Change Place

Detectives who have been employed
in the Canadian woods and elsewhere
getting evidence for Mrs Anne Urqu-
hart Potter Stillman's defense in the
divorce suit brought by James A. Still
man, president of the City National
Rank, were called home yesterday in
preparation for the beginning of the
hearings in the case.
The date and place of the first hear
ing before Referee Daniel ]. Gleason
has been definitely decided upon, but
attorneys for both sides in the case
yesterday refused to give them. The
date is understood to be May 4 and the
place Poughkeepsie, the residence of
the referee. However, the referee can
change the place of the hearings if he
sees fit, and it may be decided to hold
them closer to New York for the con-
venience of counsel.
The calling in of Mrs. S,illman's
detectives, who are known to have
made one of the most complete investi-
cations ever undertaken in a divorce
case, is but one of the steps of final
preparation. All witnesses have been
ness to appear and attorneys have
made ready for the next step in the
proceedings.
What this step will be is not known.
There have been reports That Mrs
Stillman might further amend her
answer to name women other than
Mrs. Florence Leeds" formerly
chorus girl and that other moves
might be made, but it would appear
now that the case will go 10 trial on
the issues.
1t is believed that the referee will be
asked by Mrs. Stillmans attorneys to
rule out Exhibits A to II, which were
not considered as evidence by Justice
Morschauser in his alimony award. Ex-
hibit A is the so-called confession"
letter written by Mrs. Stillman to Mr..
Stillman and Exhibits B to H are al
legged letters from Fred Bauvais, "In-
dian guide" to Mrs. Stillman. Bauvais
is alleged to be the father of Guy
Stillman.

Miss Murphy is frank and direct.

trayed any enthusiasm, except for the
elephants, was Jim the Polar Bear.
Jim wriggled with delight from the tip
of his nose to the place where his tail
ought to be during the entire concert.
The elephants, though politely attentive
and responsive, were eliminated by
Mile. Valee and her fellow scientists
as having probably done time in a cir
Gus where music meant peanuts.
So far as was observed, no rocks
were affected in The slightest degree
by the original Dixieland Jazz Band of
the Folies Bergeres and all the knotted
oaks in sight remained knctted
throughout the experiment. 1t was the
opinion of scientists that the fellow
was entirely misleading in his state
ment about music and should have
said:
Music hath charms to please polar

ITO enrage kid and make him butt
