because of the disappearance of the
head of the family. Mrs. Seliger de-
Clares that there was no domestic
trouble and that when he was absent
from home for any length of time.
he always telephoned her and
otherwise showed his affection for
his family.
But the true Augusta interest in
the Scliger case comes in the fol-
lowing facts. Rev. Mr.. Seliger mar
ried Estella Case of this city. niece

mostly been sold. from time to time.
The real estate which she inherited
included one residence on Bridge
street, two residences on Winthrop
street, several residences on Wyman
Court and on High street and also
residence on Oak street. The
valuation of the property as in
herited has been placed at well
over $4,000 The Seligcrs have a
daughter. who is married and son,
Robert Louis, age II years.
Mr.. Seliger has been living at
Camden for the past wear and a
half and has been employed by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. At
the time of his disappearance, he
was disappointed with his work and
has made arrangements to resign.

and said he was going to Bath. 1t

GRAND OPERA HOLDS
 GERMANS INTEREST
Practically Every Town, Despite Hard Times, Has Its Theater

Leipzig. March 14.-There is scarce ly town of any size in Germany that has not a state theater or municipal opera house, and nearly all Of these have continued to operate during and since the war despite the financial ups and downs of the government and cit ies. Officials have always taken the view that one of the most practical ways of preventing conditions from going from bad to worse is to keep the places Of amusement open to the public. The idea, it is pointed out, is two-fold in its purpose. It keeps the artists busy and gives the people op- portunity to attend an opera or play during which to forget their troubles even though only for few hours.
 The musical education of Germany has been in progress for many gen. erations. There Is a piano in nearly every home where there are children. Germany perhaps has more teachers of music than any two other coun- tries of Europe. In early days the rulers of the several component king doms were the chief patrons of music and a majority of the great compos- CTS at some time in their careers were in the services of a royal master. The former kaiser always took a great in- terest in good music, and many a defi- cit in a state or municipal opera house was made up out of his private purse to assist keeping the enterprise on it's feet and going.
 Germans say to appreciate real opera frequent visits are necessary and that it is often necessary to hear the same grand opera piece six times be- fore one grasps the idea in its entirety.
 The musical feast offered at the Cologne opera house last season in- cluded 4S operas and was typical of the repertoires offered in other cities. Many old fayorites were in the list, but tgo new ones, 'The Bird" fDer NogeD and Der Eetter aus Dingsda" appeared to be tho most popular. The former was sung IS times and the lat ter q: r. performances. There were Is performances of "Cayalloria Rnsti- cana. Nine Wagner operas were giv- en Il total of 40 performances with "Tannhauser" heading the lisi, having been sung nine times.
 A season ticket, which in the rota- ton of two performances enables all holders Of tickets to hear any opera desired, sells for si2 10 si5.
 Some of the German towns possess a theatcr as we'll as an opera house, but in tho smaller towns one building Is used for operas as well as plays. lierlin as four state playhouses, two of them devoted to grand opera eN- clnsiyely.

c. c. JULIAN TO
ATTEMPT TO PUT
STOCK in ESCROW

Los ANGELES, Sept. c. Pre-
sumably with the support of his
$4,000 stockholders, C. c. Julian,
president of the Julian Petroleum
corporation, was today working out
a plan to take the stock of the
company off the market and place it
in escrow for two years.
The scheme was urged by Julian
at a meeting of stockholders last
night in the Hollywood bowl. Be
tween $4,000 and 10000 persons
jammed the huge amphitheater.
The escrow plan is necessary to
keep brokers from "t hammering
down the corporation IS stock, Julian
said. With the stock selling at par,
$50, the firm can go ahead with the
construction of a refinery, necessary
to its success, the president declar-
ed. The stock is now selling at
$l5, because of the brokers manipu-
lations, according to Julian.
Despite the fact that the corpora
tion has been investigated to
death, - Julian was optimistic con
cerning it's future, and urged con.
tinued support as means of realiz
ing a return on the investment.

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 6,-Boreas
dealt severely with man and his
ships in the northlandy this year,
crushing at least one into kindling
wood, imprisoning another big yes
sci for weeks and eloaking her fate
in mystery, and almost destroying
another before the ice broke and
set her free.
The fur steamer Arctic of II.
Liebes Company, met death on her
second voyage in the service of
Milady. She was caught in the ice
near Anchorage and drifted for
days. Finally her crew, realizing
that the vessel could not bear the
grinding weight for long, and with
no break. in the ice in sight, aban
doned her and took refuge on shore.
They had hardly left the ship when
the ice crushed her as if she. had
been an eggshell and she sank from
sight.
The Hudson Bay sealer Lady
Kimberley may meet similar fate
or may already have done so. She
has been fast in the drifts since the
middle of August with cutters stand
ing by to take off her crew should
that be necessary. With the season
reports here indicated
that il would be well-nigh impos
sible for her to escape, which scores
another for Boreas.
In Great Danger
The revenue cutter Bear, which
for nearly forty years has repre-
sented the might of Uncle Sam in
the northland, has saved countless
Eskimaux from starvation, and
whose log contains accounts far
more vivid than ever the mind of
the fiction writer could conceive,
weathered an ice e-paek after 45
days in its grip, losing a propeller
and straining her staunch old ribs
in the process. $3.50
Captain Cochrane of the Bear
said he knew all the time that his
ship would weather the experience,
but there were times when it seem
ed to her crew that the voyage
would be her last. As it was, she
was forced to return to San Fran
cisco two months ahead of her
schedule, making the voyage safe
ly, and from reports received here
of her arrival, showing little evi- !
