ENTERTAIN FEARS FOR MISSIONARIES
 RESIDING IN TOK|O
Two Great Schools Destroyed And Apprehension Felt
 For Inmates

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.-Two great missionary schools, one of them credited with being the largest of it's kind in the ygorld, were located in the heart of the disaster area in Tokio and doubtless were destroyed, according to announcement by churchmen here today. s
 The Jesuit House at St. Ignatius university here has received word that a third great school, which once was occupied by the Jesuit college in Tokio, was destroyed. It was on a hill overlooking the city.
 The two schools are the jesuit col lege, known in Japan as the Jochi- Dai-Gakuin, CT School of Wisdom D located close to the Imperial univer- sity and the Methodist Missionary college, known as the Oosama- Gakuin. The protestant school holds the record of being the largest of it's kind in the world, with an at- cCrding to Dr. H. B. Johnson of Oak land Cal, who once headed the in stitution.
 Fate of Missionaries Unknown.
 The fate of the hundreds of mis- sionaries connected with these two institutions and the other missionary
 
 remains unknown.
 Father J. H. Hoffman, superinten- dent of the jesuit college, and his as sistants, Fathers Joseph Dahlman and Joseph McNeal, also were teachers in the Imperial university. The build ing was of reinforced concrete. The palace of the crown prince Is not far distant.
 pr. Johnson expressed the fear to- n IT odist missionary from Mexico. New York, who recently departed from Seattle for his post, arrived in TokiC before the disaster. Other Methodist missionaries in this field were Rev. and Mrs E. P. Idleheart, New York city; Prof and Mrs. J. V. Martin, Iowa; Miss Constance Chappell and their father, Dr. Benjamin Chappell. all of Toko; Miss Ruth Weiss of Oakland, Cal: Miss Leonora H. Seeds, Delaware, Ohio; Miss Matilda Spen- cer, Philadelphia: Dr. and Mrs. w. S. Worden. Syracuse, N. Y, and Miss Myra MoGn, Spokane.
 Addresses Unknown.
 Tn addition. there were a number of Methodist missionaries whose ad- dresses were not known here, among them being Rev. and Mrs. R. P. Alex ander Rev. and Mrs. M. R. Shaw, Rev. and Mrs. Charles Bishop, Rev. Ralph West, Rev. and Mrs. William Ihde, Rev. and Mrs. Raymond Luthy. Bishop Herbert Welch of New York, who is in charge of all the Meth odist work in Japan, may have been in the disaster area. Mrs. Welch is with him.
