CASE CLEARS Missing Woman Now Believed to Be in San Francisco. PRISONER TELLS HIS STORY Hart Lawrence Channlng, of Chi cago, Tells of Instructing Wife of Seattle Business Man in Oriental Philosophy. Hart Lawrence Channlng. 30 years old, native of Chicago, and teacher of Indian philosophies and Oriental mysticism. Is the man whose identity puzzled the Port land police deeply following his arrest Wednesday at the instance of H. W. Mix, Seattle business man who accuses the prisoner of having stolen Mrs. Mix. bag and baggage. Channlng not only gave out his name yesterday but late in the afternoon he made a full statement of his part ln the disappearance of the Seattle man's pretty wife. Yes, she came here and met him, he says. But she was merely trying to escape from an incongenial husband. He taught her his weird lore while ln Beat- Mrs. Daisy Mix, Who Has Been Located In San Francisco, but Whose Case la Still Mysterious. tie some weeks ago and when she ap pealed to him in Portland to help her avoid her husband he did so in a platonic sort of way. Last Saturday or Sunday, he Isn't sure Just which, he escorted her to the Union Depot where he says she checked her "missing" baggage to San Francisco, bade him a formal farewell and departed south. He has neither robbed, murdered, abducted, or made love to her. so he avers. Receives Word From Wife. Supporting Channlng's story, which is now accepted in part by the police, is the fact that Mix, the alarmed husband of the missing woman, received a telegram from San Francisco, yesterday morning. It bore the signature of his wife. It was dated Tuesday and said simply "Arrived here today. Leave here Sunday on No. 10." In view of the fact that there was no mention of missing baggage, robbery or other misadventure, the police were quite satisfied that the affair was explained, at least so far as the authorities are con cerned. But the anxious Mix was not to be placated. "It may be a blind of one of this man's accomplices," said he. And he Insisted that Detectives Hyde and Reed proceed looking into the case. His Idea was not altogether improbable, but seemed un likely ifi view of all the circumstances of the case. "If there was anything misleading about the telegram It proceeded from the lady's desire to keep her husband from locating her," quietly commented Channlng, when told of the telegram in his cell, later. Even Mix had quite abandoned the idea last night, that his wife was the victim of a murder and he no longer had visions of her body being concealed" in her bag gage, which really was shifted about- In a most amazing fashion, late last week, fol lowing the woman's arrival here from Seattle en route, as her husband avers, to Bangor, Me., to visit friends and rela tives. But he was still unable to view the incident in the light of a little domestic drama or tragedy or comedy, whichever of the three it may chance to be. "My wife Is very proud. If she had been robbed she would Bay nothing, for fear of jibes," he volunteered. And he persisted that the search for her bag gage be kept up. Likewise that a search be made for Harrlman and Parrlsh, those names supposedly covering aliases of Channlng's accomplices. Her trunk and two suitcases assuredly were taken from the Imperial Hotel last Thursday, and removed to a room at 214 Thirteenth street, later being removed to 250 Twelfth street. The trunks were taken to the apartment of a man known as Harrlman at the first address. They were taken to Parrlsh's room at tho second. Tha second, room also served as headquarters for a man calling himself O. M. Dunbar and proclaiming himself a delver Into occult philosophies 'and a teacher of the same. He had an ad vertisement ln the newspapers declaring his wares recently. Baggage Movements Unexplained. Channing admits that these men were his friends. He admits, too, that Mrs. Mix knew them and that her baggage was removed to the apartments named. She directed the movements, he says and adds lamely that she did that to throw her husband off her trail ln the. event he followed her from Seattle.

The motive of moving the bag gage about In such a manner Is not clear at any event. Until the full subject of Mrs. Mix's present whereabouts is cleared, up beyond the possibility of mistake Channlng will be kept in jail. Mix clings to the be lief that his wife was robbed of her baggage and Is willing to let the com plaint he signed against Channlng re main. In short, he insists upon Chan ning being held. Channlng says Mix is making a sorry mistake. The prisoner did not receive a hearing yesterday, although he will demand one today. His defense was arranged yes terday by Attorney John H. Stevenson, who will plead that the charge against Channing Is foolish. His release will be demanded ln the face of insufficient evt dence to warrant holding him longer Fine Parasols. P.
