Mrs. William Somervlllo King, who was
ono of tho chorus girls In "The Kissing

Miss Alice I'. Searles, wants to know.
She hns been wnntlng to know sluco
Christmas, 1912, when after the lieutenant
had been away for several days from
their New York apartment, she got a tele
gram summoning her to meet him nt tho
Hotel Majestic In this city.
At tho Majestic, according to her story,
slio was met by nnother telegram. It was
signed by II. A. drier, whom sho does not
know, and read:
"Somervlllo has disappeared. Fear tho
worst. You had better return."
This, still according to Mrs. King, was
a, "stunning blow," and she didn't know
what to mako of It. From that tlmo until
February 9, 1913, she says she got a tele
gram every day, assuring her she would
"see Wllllo soon." They wero signed by
soma one she did not know.
Tho final message asst'red Mrs. King
that her husband had left some liner nt
Nantucket and was co'mlng up the coast
In a motorboat.
"I presume," she said, "they want mo
to believe ho has been drowned."
Mrs. King is now living with her

King In Juno, 1912, nnd they wero married

had clippings to show that the English

BAKERS FACE CONSPIRACY
CHARGE IF PRICE GOES UP

Plve-cent loaf Indefinitely.
"With the bakers determined on raising
the price of bread and John Vlrdln, chief
of the Bureau of Weights and Measures,
to say nothing of tho Federal authorities,
equally determined to prosecute to the
full extent of the law, tho situation
brought about by the almost unpre
cedented rise In wheat, looks Interesting,
to say the least.
Three of the largest "chain" stores in
the city announced that, although they
are selling at little or no profit, their
bread will continue to be five cents a
loaf indefinitely. Individual bakers, howT
ever, have decided that they cannot stand
this loss, and many who have not raised
their prices are contemplating doing ho.
The Federal Government 'took a hand
yesterday In the increase of bread in Chi
cago, where the six-cent price is now In
force, A number of the wholesale bakers
were called upon to state why prices had
been boosted and also to tell just what
supply of flour they had on hau4.
John Vlrdln announced last night that if
there is any concerted action on the part
of Philadelphia bakers to jjyt bread up
they will be prosecuted on the charge of
conspiracy.

supplied In an article on luap.maklng

January 29, The section of the country
mapped out was given as bounded by a
road, a stream, a railroad, a fence and a
trail through the woods to the point of

contest, wrote tho following criticism
of the prize. wliinlnft map!
"There are several small errors. Tho

BM5 was In centre of concrete bridge;
the railroad crosses tho creek on tho
bridge, not under It, as shown by
this map. Silverman has his railroad
crossing tho stream at n point 60 feet
NW. of where It should be. Nothing
was said In directions about tho fence
running alongside tho railroad, as Is
shown In the map. DM", a large plno
tree, has not the correct sign for a
pine tree. Compass direction nnd scale
are wrong from BM6 to BM7 and from
BM7 to starting point. As tho original
directions wero Imaginary, It Is natural
that there should bo somo discrepancy
between tho finish nnd start, becauso
In the directions tho flnnl direction was
given ns 'genoral direction W. by N.' to
allow a little leowny for possible error.
The map, with the exception ot tho er
rors mentioned which are small and to
some eUttnt unlmportant-ls excellent,
and for tho work of a 16-year-old boy
very excellent."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. "Think of
America first," was the purport of the
advice given by President Wilton to the
ltev. Dr. Frederick Benle, of flf Leuls,
who called nt tho White House as the
representative of n aorman-Amerlean or
ganisation seeking the enactment ot legis
lation establishing an embargo on arms
nnd munitions of war.
The President indicated to Doctor Bents
that the activities of his own and similar
organizations of Americana of foreign
birth or parentage along tilts' and similar
lines were n, source of embarrassment
to tho Administration. Ho was kindly
in hla criticism, but the clergyman was
made to understand that enough had oc
curred already In the form of mass-nleet-ings
ot sympathizers with one element
or another of America's foreign-born pop
ulation to give tho President and his ad
visers serious concern,
Tho President put his remarks to Doe
tor Bento on the highest ground -of pa
triotism nnd urged upon him the neces
sity Of private Individuals and organiza
tions alike observing a policy ot non
interference with tho conduct of the
American Government In Its dlplomatlo
relations.
Tho specific measure which Doctor
Bente Is seeking to havo passed, and
regarding which he appeared beforo the
Senate Committee on Foreign Itelatlons
yesterday, provides for an embargo on
the shipment of arms and war munitions
of every sort, and with Great Britain and
France holding the mastery of the seas
would tend to operate against the Allies
to the great benefit of the two Teutonlo
Empires. High officials of tho Stnto De
partment have expressed tho opinion that
as such a measure was not enacted at tho
outbreak of tho war, Its enactment at
this tlmo would be n non-neutral dct,
