Mrs Pearson declined to say where
Mrs Fike was going or her reason for
leaving She said the friend, whom
she would not name, called this morn
ing at Mrs. Fixes request to say that
she had left town. The friend told
her, Mrs. Pearson said, that Mrs. Fike
requested her whereabouts yesterday
be kept secret.
Mrs. Fike, comely wife of Linus
r. Fike, an Agriculture Department
attorney, vanished yesterday in the
family automobile after taking her
twin sons by former marriage, Gene
and William, II, to the Woodrow
Wilson High School,
Mr.. Fike said he had arrived home
late Wednesday night from a New
York trip and that his wife had ap-
peared worried over the fact he was
six hours late in getting back.
He said they talked about two hours
before retiring, but there was nothing
in his wife'S conversation tn indicate
she intended to 60 away.
Mrs. Fike took their automobile and
drove the boys to school before her
husband arose in the morning, he
said. When she let her sons out, she
asked them the best way to reach
Connecticut avenue, route that
would have taken her home. She
never showed UP, however. and after
telephoning friends he thought she
might have gone to see, Mr.. Fike late
yesterday reported his wife missing.

when suddenly the boat capsized,
tossing them into the water
The trio was swimming ashore when

appeared on the scene. He promptly
jumped into the water-clothes and

warned the group. when they started
home for dry clothes, not to leave the
boat as some one might steal it."
They left, however, only to return
and find the boat and Mr.. Wheatstraw
missing.
Yesterday he called Miss Lee to say
he had taken the boat to prevent any
one from stealing it, and she would
find her craft in an alley near the $500
block Of Thirty ninth street NV.
Miss Lee and some friends went to
one alley, but failed to find the boat

perfect gentleman he seemed to be
when he pulled my boat from the
water" Miss Lee commented.
