?ENTRAMA. Wash.. Oct. 14. Special.)
Whit Paul Brandon, me -year-old son
of Whit Brandon, who played the title
role In "The Devil" here tonight, has
disappeared a completely hs if the earth
had as-allowed him up. The child was
last aeen near the Hotel Centralia. a few
minutes before 6 o'clock this evening. At
that hour he was missed and searching
parties are now scouring the country for
him. His father and stepmother, whose
stare name is Kthel Tucker. Insist that
the child could not have become lost.
They fear that some accident has befallen
him. or that he has ben kidnaped. The
latter appears more probable.
The child's father and mother sep
arated when the baby v six months
old At that time the mother left the
child In Michigan and wrote Mr. Bran
don that If he wanted the child he
could come and get him. The mother
Is an actress. Her stsae name is Uda
Hall. The last Mr. Brandon heard of
her was two years ago. At that time
she was plajing with a company in
Massachusetts. He has given a de
scription of the wonrnn and child to
the police and has had descriptions
wired to surrounding cities.
If the child was kidnaped, the kid
napers have completely baffled the lo
cal police. No passenger trains have
left the city since the child disappear
ed that have not been carefully watch
ed, and all the automobile garages and
: livery stables In the city have reported
all parties leaving the city since that
time to the best of thoir knowledge,
but absolutely no clew to the child's
disappearance has been found.
Mr. Brandon and Miss Tucker played
their parts as usual tonight, although
both were In tears before the curtain
went up and when Mr. Brandon stepped
before the curtain to announce that his
little boy had disappeared and to re
quest assistance In finding hint, his voice
failed him.
At first there waa m. suspicion that a
press agnt scheme for advertising had
been sprung, but a thorough Investiga
tion bv the police leaves no doubt that
the child has actually disappeared.
The child when he disappeared wore a
khaki suit and a black leather automobile
cap. His hair is medium light and rather
long. His eyes are blue and the left eye
la slightly weak.
The woman who naturally falls under
suspicion. If the child haa been kidnaped,
la small and of dark complexion, but has
blue eyes.

five shots taking effect. One bullet

WORRY OVER DELAY
La Grande Bank Depositors
Eager for Report.
ANOTHER BAD NOTE FOUND
Paper Purporting to Be Signed by
- Prominent Business Men Be
lieved to Be Doubtful.
Cashier Is Still III.
LA GRANDH. Or., Oct. 14. (Special.)
In connection -with the auspended
Farmers ft Traders National Bank an
other note, purporting to be signed by
a prominent business firm, has been
found which has a shady appearance.
This brings the total amount of the
notes alleged to have been forged by
Cashier Scriber up to several thousand
dollars.' It is thought that this note is
the last of Its kind, and now the peo
ple are more anxious than ever to hear
from Examiner Gatch, who closed his
second day's work on the books tonight.
He Is still reticent and unwilling to
make a public statement. The directors
also have nothing to eay.
The depositors are chafing over the
prolonged delay though two or three days
are Invariably required before the con
dition of any bank can be announced by
a bank examiner.
Scriber Is still ill and has been seen on
the streets but once since the closing of
"his bank.
Examiner Gatch this evening finished
listing and appraising the assets and
liabilities and will forward his report
to the Controller of Currency tomorrow,
when the facts as to the condition of the
bank will perhaps be made known.
NOT AFFECTED BV FAILURE
Closing of La Grande Bank Will
Have No Bad Results.
That the failure of the Farmers &
Traders National Bank, of La Grande,
Is the result of merely local conditions
and that it will have no effect whatever
on general financial affairs of the state
is the belief of A. L. Mills, president
of the First National Bank of this city.
He says financial circles have not been
stirred to any extent by the closing of
this bank.
In fact. It Is known that another La
Grande bank, which has a large balance
on hand in a leading Portland bank,
made no call on these funds whatever,
showing that its depositors are not at
all uneasy and are making no run on
other banks. This Indicates that the La
Grande failure will have no bad effects,
and It Is said to be probable that de
positors in the closed bank will lose
nothing.
"Money Is plentiful," said Mr. Mills,
"business Is excellent, and the wheat
crop has moved rapidly to market. The
grain crop has moved with very little
effort. There has been no unusual de
mand for money, only enough being
wanted to handle the crop, and this haa
been forthcoming.
"Merchants are doing well, and the
only fly In the ointment Is the possibil
ity of Bryan' election: but I do not
think this at all probable. The sale of
city bonds recently Indicates there Is
plenty of money here for Investment."

BLAME NATIVE WOMEN
Government's Sailors More Sinned
Against Than Sinning In Alaska
Port9, They Assert Mission
ary's Charges Unfounded.
SEATTLE, Oct. 14. The grand jury
Investigation of the charges made by
Miss Mabel Benedict, a missionary to
Unalaska, recently before the Method
ists in Seattle, of outrages committed
by United States revenue cutter sailors,
is welcomed by the revenue service
according to officers of the Rush, now
in port, and everything will be done
by the men of the service to sift the
charges to the bottom. The women of
Unalaska do not need protection against
the white men, say the revenue cut
ter's officers, so much as they do
against themselves. Captain D. F. A.
Deotte of the Rush said:
"We will do do all possible to further
the Investigation started at Valdezand
will help all we can to better con
ditions among the natives of Alaska.
The revenue service has done more
than any other branch of the Govern
ment In the past. It was Captain O.
C. Hamlet, of the Thetis, who In 1903.
took the responsibility upon himself
to go ashore at Unalaska and close
all the saloons and drinking places at
that port permanently.
Cannot Understand Attack.
"I cannot understand why Miss Bene
dict should make the statements as
cribed to her for the best of feeling
exists between the missionary home
there and the officers who are fre
quent visitors at the home, and ac
company Miss Benedict and other
teachers on picnics. The teachers are
also entertained aboard.
"As far as the conduct of the sailors
on the cutters is concerned, they do not
get ashore in port only four days out of
fifteen and then the time Is taken with
coaling and cleaning boilers. They are
not paid off for the six months we are
at sea and while possibly some of them
respond to the invitations of the na
tive women and accompany them to
their homes, there are few who de
grade themselves to that extent."
Third Assistant Lieutenant of Engi
neers F. H. Young, of the Rush, who
came from the same town as Miss
Benedict in New York State, and is
well acquainted with her said:
Sees Only, One Side.
"Miss Benedict looks at it from the
point of a missionary and does not
realize the loose moral tone among the
natives. The sailors do not lead them
astray. It is more frequently the
other way, with the "hoochinoo," a
home brew, very intoxicating, which
the natives make and treat the sail
ors to. No other , spirituous liquor is
obtainable in Unalaska.
"Conditions are the same here as in
every port where whalers, sailors of
the Navy and merchant marine and
other white men touch. The remedy
at Unalaska lies in a Y. M. C. A., or
similar Institution to take the time of
the sailors ashore and keep them from
the women and a curfew or similar
law to prevent the women from being
abroad after a certain hour at night.
"The suggestion of the Y. M. C. A.,
Is from Captain Daniels of the revenue
cutter service, and in every way the
missionaries and revenue men work
