Physical Instruction At High School-E. St. Elmo Lewis Coming That the disappearance of Eva Manillo, l9 years old. of SIC Sylves- ter street. is part of an elopement is tho belief Of the local police, who were notified yesterday by the police or Springfield. Mass, that Joseph l.ascar2a of that city, had reported to them that Miss Manillo, his fiancee, had committed suicide by drowning in the Pequabeck river near her home. Lascarza, who is an employe Of the Boston X Albany railroad. has just returned from a vacation trip to New York and immediately upon his arrival in Springfield, told wild tale to the police of that place, regarding the alleged death of Miss Manillo.
 Detective Sergeant Daniel MacGill- cuddy went to the Manillo home yes- terday afternoon and found that the girl had disappeared from her home about i:30 o'clock on Monday morn- ing but no great thought had been given 10 her disappearance by the family as the relatives considered that she had eloped and that word would come soon from her, telling of her marriage. An older sister said that Eva had returned shortly before mid night on Sunday and about 1880 o'clock, it was discovered that her bed was empty.
 In order that the tale Of Lascarzs may be fully run down. the river near the girls home will be searched and every effort will be made to as- certain the truth of his story. At first it was believed that the girl was the victim Of plot but the facts lean toward the elopement theory, accord ing 10 the police.
