CHICAGOAN SEEKING
ROSS CLAIM FUNDS
Asks Financial Aid in Proving
He Is Victim of Unsolved
kidnapping in 1874.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 11.-If Gustav
Blair can get some money together
and he'll consider all offers-he says
he is going to Philadelphia and prove
he is the missing Charlie Ross, the
child whose kidnapping July /, 1874,
has never been solved.
Interviewed while painting his
house in suburban Riverdale, Blair
said he has IL affidavits to prove and
countless witnesses to testify that he
Is Charlie Ross.
His story is that he was brought to
Compton, ILL.,, 80 miles west of Chi
cago, by the last surviving member
of the kidnap gang and reared as a
member of the family of Rienar Mil
Ter, deceased. He assumed the name
Gustav Blair, he said.
"In 1908 Miller told me, in order
to keep me from testifying in a law
suit in which he was involved" Blair
said, that man named John Hawk
brought me to him from Philadel-
phia. He said he killed Hawk when
Hawk tried to dispose of me. Miller
signed an affidavit that I am Charlie
Ross"

CAPITOL PLAYERS
FIGHT OVER BALL
Congressman and Writers
Split on Use of Hard
or Soft Type.

Hard ball versus soft ball Is the
issue which is stirring to the depths
the seventy-fourth Congress and the
National Press Galleries.
One party demands the use OF the
regulation hard base ball for the game
which is to be played on the Marines
base ball field at Quantico,. Va. Sat-
urday, May rs. The other party in
sists upon the soft ball"-an indoor
base ball-as more suited to the hands
and muscles of both members Of
Congress and the press galleries.
Hard Ball Is Stunned.
Whether the "softies" are located in
the congressional group or the press
gallaries is disputed also. Neither side
looks with favor on the designation.
But both sides regard with some re-
luctance the hard base ball.
The base ball game will be one of
the main events Of the outing which
the newspaper men and members OF
Congress are to stage at Quantlco.
Members of the National Press Club,
of the press galleries at the Capitol,
and of the stats of the local news
papers and their guests will board the
steamer City of Wilmington at l
pm, May Is for the trip down the
river. On arrival the newspaper men
and the members of Congress, led by
the Vice President and Speaker Byrns,
will march behind the Navy Band
to the Marine base ball field. The
congressional team will be captained
by Representative Tom Mcmillan of
South Carolina, and Louis E. White
will lead the scribes to battle.
Nice VIII Take Part.
Gov. Nice of Maryland has ac-
cepted an invitation to take part in
the outing, and it Is said the Gov
ernors of three other States will also
be on hand.
A review Of the Fleet Marine Force,
1900 men strong, and an air show
and formation flying by the Marine
aviators will follow the base ball game.
Three boxing bouts will be staged
by the Marines for the visitors. After
dinner the whole party will board
the steamer for Washington. Tickets
for the outing may be obtained at
the National Press Club.

FURN. HOUSE
WESLEY HEIGHTS:
A house with a charm all Of
it's own. I am sure you will
agree with me when you see
this lovely house. It is a Sublet
and is available from July / to
October /. Located in Wesley
Heights, the house is detached,
constructed of brick and stucco
and is perched high on a ter
race. A stone retaining wall and
a flagStone walk with a garden
of lovely flowers and innumer-
able shade trees add to the
beauty Gn6 appeal of the house.
There are four bedrooms, two
baths, a maids room and bath
and a huge living room with an
inviting porch leading from it;
a dining room Of ample size for
entertaining and of course a
real up-to-date kitchen. You will
like the atmosphere of GOODNESS
for that is so essential to sum-
mer comfort. The rental of this
house is $3.50 and it is well
worth it.
1900 BLOCK
WYOMING AVE:
The appeal of this apartment
lies in it's arrangement and orig
inal ideas used in it's furnishing.
You enter into a foyer which
divides the living room and bed

is d wood-burning fireplace,
which, of course, is of no inter-

place. The room is furnished
most Interestingly. there being
a mahogany desk. which was
originally a grand piano, that is
perfectly magnificent: oriental
rugs on the floor and, the soft
blended draperies at the win.
dows add to it's charm and per-
sonality. The bedroom looks cool
and inviting for there has been
very good judgment used in the
furnishing. The kitchen walls
were tiled midway and it would
be an easy matter to keep them
white and cleaning. There is
every convenience here to make
meal preparation a joy instead
of a task. I have never seen
such large closets in a small
apartment there was one
that would hold several trunks.
This apartment is located in a
building having many special

features such as a roof garden
for the use of their guests; a
mail chute in the building;
laundry tubs in the basement
and many others. This apart
ment rents for around $100. I
almost forgot to tell you this
unit has southern exposure.
1900 BLOCK
NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE:
Of course this apartment will
have a distinct appeal to those
of you who want to live down
town and also have a porch for
leisure moments. This one I
visited the other day is differ
ent from the average downtown
apartment. There is a huge liv-
ing room off which is a porch
all Screened-in that overlooks a
small garden. The bedroom
has the same exposure and is
exceptionally large. A junior
dining room and well appointed
kitchen and bath completes this
apartment. There has been ex.
ceptionally good taste shown in
the decorations and furnishings
and it is my belief one could be
very happy in these surround

PAIR LINKED

FLIGHT
Strange Note Left By
Man Hints 7 Left
Homes Together

Aid of the Department of Jus
tice in solving the mysterious dis.
appearance Of a 23-year-old Clar'
endon engineer and 13-year-old
girl, of East Falls Church, who
had been writing him what were
described as "affectionate" notes
will be sought today by Virginia
authorities.
Despite an all-night search no
word was received from either
of the missing pair-Richard H.
Welles and Betty Bowman. They
were last seen Thursday.
Never Reached School
Betty, Q pupil in the first year
of Jefferson High School In Falls
Church, left home on a bicycle,
presumably to attend her classes.
WelleS, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl
H. Welles, of 1909 Highland St.,
Clarendon, Va, told his parents
he was going to Baltimore to in
quire about passage on a boat to
South America.
Police have no proof that the
two are together. Parents of the
couple admitted they knew each
other. The Welles family also ad.
mitted their son had been the
recipient of notes from the high
school girl.
Through his own mother Welles
delivered a message to Mrs. Bow
man which said:
'cDO not follow us. Will not
be taken alive. Will not harm
her."
It was this message which led
police to believe the couple had
gone off together.
Auto Abandoned
Agents of the Department of
Justice will be asked today to
check all steamship lines, train
and bus terminals.
Before he left home Thursday
young Welles gave his mother a
catalogue which he asked her to
give Mrs. Bowman, if the latter
should come to the house inquir-
ing about the whereabouts of her
daughter. When Mrs. Bowman
came to the Welles' residence she
was given the catalogue.
Inside the catalogue was the
note.
WelleS carried two suitcaSeS
packed with clothes when he left
home. The automobile in which
he left the house was found aban-
doned yesterday at the Carney
Station, along the tracks of the
Old Dominion Railway near Falls
Church.
Welles has been employed as an
engineer by the LIE Porte Con.
struction Co., which is building
sewers in Arlington County.
