Upon the happy completion of

The experience meeting which
followed was very particularly
felicitous in the exchange of
opinions and impressions by the
old and new members. The hum

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18—
Officials of the Missing Persons
Bureau here are mystified by the
large number of persons they
have been asked to locate in the
past month by relatives residing
in all sections of the country.
The list which is increasing
daily, shows that fully 550 per-
sons are being sought here.
Many of these are young women,
who police believe, have been en-

opportunities which they believ-

The bureau officials said they
are confronted with a perplexing
situation by requests to find per-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—
President Wilson has asked Sen-
ator Harding if he said in a
speech at Greencastle, Indiana
Saturday that he had been in-
formally approached by a spokes
man for France asking that
America lead the way to a form-
ing of an Association of Nations
H<e said, “Need not point out
that grave inferences could be
drawn from the statement that
France member of the League
approached a private citizen of a
nation not a member of the Lea-
gue requesting that the United
States lead the way to a world
fraternity." Another state-
ment is forthcoming from Wil-
son if Harding says he was quot
ed right.

violence following the coal strike
occurred when a mob congregat-
ed and threw stones and sang
the Red Flag masses at White
Hall in Downing streets. Win-
dows of the government offices
were broken.
The crowd attempted to force
its way through the cordon of po
lice surrounding Premier Lloyd .get other states where exceaaive

pulsed. It is estimated that 12,-
000 persons took part in the de-
monstration. The mob was in
an ugly mood but there was no
display of weapons. oFrty per-
sons were injured. The crowd
threw missies and hurt many
policemen.
England watched the unem-
ployment rising as the coal
strike became effective. §even
hundred vessels are tied up at
Cardiff alone. The possibility
of a general labor upheaval is ad-
mitted. The railroad men of
Scotland have issued a warning

work soon. It is feared that the
Scottish decision might deter-
mine railway workers to leave
before they are forced out of em-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S--
The supreme court has refused
r.
The entire community in
Hochheim Prairie and the town
of Yoakum were severely shock-
ed when the new spread on Sun-
day morning that Wm. Schmidt
had taken his own life. He
shot himself with a shot gun
Sunday morning at 6:45.
Mr. Schmidt was one of the
most substantial and influential
citizens of DeWitt county,
his passing will be one
most distinct
munity has
one of the earliest
Hochheim Prairie,
its best men.
Mr. Schmidt was born in Ger-
many about sixty years ago and
came to this part of Texas a
young man without means and
few acquaintances, but he learn-
ed early that to depend entirely
upon himself was his only hope.
He worked hard, saved his
earnings, and was honest in his
dealings, and as is the usual con-
sequence of men of such qualifies
tions, he soon earned a fine farm
and steadily increased his prop-
erty holdings.
r The deceased was one of the
organizers of the Hochheim
Prairie Mutual Fire and Storm
Insurance Association and for
many years and up to his death
was the treasurer.
The ill health of his wife for
several years and his own fail-
ing health made him despondent
and this is the supposed reason
for his taking his own life.
He was married to Hanna Nil-
son who with four daughters
and three sons survive him.
One son, Otto, is employed in a
bank at Ranger, Texas, and the
remaining two reside on the
farm. Two of the daughters
are married while one has been
with her mother in San Antonio
and the other on the farm with
her father and brothers.
He will be buried in the Her-
mann Sons Cemetery near his
home Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.
m., Rev. Walfsdorff officiating.
Will continue • through this
week. 4 We f have had good .
preaching, good crowds, good in-
terest and some profesrioM at
our altar and we expect the good
work to continue. Services ‘ al
