Mysterious : Disappearance of
Pearl Haviland Solved,
After Month's Search. .
T.EWS OVERCOMES FATHER
Fourteen-Year-Old Girl Who
Dropped From Sight While on
Way to School Is Located
With Grandfather.
GIRL TRAC ED TO CHICAGO,
Ruby Pearl Haviland. the 14-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
K. Haviland. T4 Roosevelt street,
who mysteriously disappeared on- the
morning of September It. weUe on
ner way to the Chapman achool. waa
located laat night by The Oregonlan.
The girl la In Chicago, whither she
wax taken from Portland. The my
tery of the yourjx, girl's whereabout
completely baffled Portland police,
city detectives and newspaper, all of
whom exhausted wry effort to find
the child. It waa not until all but
the anxloua parent! of the girl had
practically given up hope of finding
her that The Oregonlan took up the
-thread and last night, after a weeks
effort, solved the mystery.
'Ruby Pearl Haviland .has been found.
The 14-year-old daughter of Sir. and Mra.
George K. Haviland. who dropped com
pletely from sight the morning of Septem
ber IS. after being seen by a schoolmate
at Twenty-first and Thurman streets, and
of whose whereabouts since has proved a
baffling mystery, was located in Chicago
last night through the efforts put forth
by The Oregonlan.
At present Pearl is In keeping of Pat
rick H. Tierney, her grandfather, and it
Is presumed that the fs.mily has not al
lowed the girl to communicate with her
father here who haa spent weeks of anx
iety in the hopeless search to find some
trace of hta missing daughter.
Search Breaks Down Parent.
The welcome news of his daughter's
whereabouts was conveyed to the father
late last night while he was downtown
atill hoping against hope to find some
clew of his loved one. For a month the
grlif-stricken parent has roamed the
streets of Portland, giving up an excel
lent position as an electrical engineer, to
pursue the mystifying search.
During the first few days of the girl's
strango and unaccountable disappearance,
the father hunted hourly, denying himself
food and sleep. Telephone calls, letters
and messages poured into the Haviland
home, all of them from friends, relatives
and those whose interest had been
aroused in the. case, through the publica
tion of newspaper accounts. Advice and
Information of every conceivable kind,
which might lead to a solution of the
strange case. . were offered. Messages
were received from points all over the
Northwest from Interested ones who of
fered suggestions and even assistance to
help the distracted parents in their
trouble.
Entire City Is Searched.
Of a large portion of these, Haviland
took note, with the result that for a week
he took practically no sleep. During the
day he was with detectives and newspa
per men and every suspicious house in
Portland and many outside the city's
limits were shadowed both day and night.
Within a week the nervous strain brought
him to his bed where he remained nearly
a week. Then, sick and exhausted, he
again took up the search.
Newspapers and detectives, one after
the other gave up the case. The Orego
nlan became interested with the result
that the careworn father was told last
night that his girl had been found. He
waa too overcome with Joy to give any
Intelligible plan for the future.
-She's safe, my little girl is safe?" he
cried. "Then let me be happy again for
awhile and think over the welcome news.
The fact that she Is found is enough for
the present."
Case Most Puzzling One.
Pearl Havlland's disappearance a
month ago. Is one of the most mysterl-
ous cases which haa ever come to the
attention of the Portland public. She
was a pupil in the Chapman school,
stood well in her classes and had the
respect and admiration of everyone who
knew her. She attended school prompt
ly and regularly and had scores of ac
quaintances in the neighborhood and
at school.
Wednesday morning. September 1.
she ate breakfast with other members
of the family, kissed them goodby and.
after asking her father for money with
which to purchase a tablet, left for
school. That was the last seen of her
by her parents.
A few minutes aftorwards. Maude
McCartney, one of Pearl's chums at
school, saw Pearl at Twenty-first and
Thurman streets. Pearl then was walk
ing east, presumably to a neighboring
notion store where school supplies are
kept. The two exchanged greetings,
the McCartney girl continuing on her
way to school.
Every Clew Hunted Down.
From that time up to the present.
Pearl Havlland's whereabouts have
heen veiled in mystery. She dropped
from sight as completely as if engulfed
in mid-ocean. Every possible clew waa
hunted down, and every avenue through
. which It waa thought possible the girl
could have disappeared, was searched.
Every vacant bouse, woodshed, barn
and thicket within a radius of several
miles of the Haviland home, where the
distressed parent thought it possible
her dead, body would be found, was
visited. Theories and clews advanced
by city detectives at work on the case
likewise failed of their purpose, as did
r.early every, other suggestion offered
during the past month.
A week ago The Oregonlan took
up the mystery. A few slender
threads which had been overlooked
or slighted by those who had been
bending every effort to solve the mys
tery were picked up. By working them
out piece by piece, the girl was found,
after being traced from Portland two
thirds of the way across the continent
to Chicago.
Tierney. Seek to Be Guardian.
Once- the girl's whereabouts became
known telegraphic communication was
established with the authorities In Chi
cago, with the result that dispatches
last night conveyed the information
that a petition to the Probate Court
had been filed, asking that the girl's
grandfather. Patrick H. Tierney. be ap
pointed ber guardian, and that the girl
herself waa safe in relative's hands.
Mr. Haviland himself cleared away
. part of the mystery last night, when

told of hie daughter's -whereabouts, by
explaining the reasons why the grand
parents would act as they have. 1
"Pearl Is a daughter by my first wife."
he said. "At the time of my marriage
to the present Mrs. Haviland, the Tier
neys were anxious to adopt the girl
Soon after she was born the grandpa
rents had her baptized in :the Catholic
church and gave her the name, of Mar
garet, but afterwards I had her chris
tened in a Protestant church as Ruby
Pearl, although we have always called
her by her middle name.
Sought Custody of Child.
"A few times during the past years
the Tierneys have requested the cus
tody of the child, but she never evinced
any desire to go to them although I
had always told her that any time she
changed her mind I would provide her
with a ticket to make the Journey. But
she always demurred. She had not
seen her grandparents since she was a
child two or three years old-V -1 am too
happy to know that she Is safe and out
of harm's way to lay any plans regard
ing my future acts."
Pearl Haviland was 14 years old in
July, but is large and well developed for
her age. She would easily pass for a
girl two or three years older. It was
this fact which led many to believe at
the time of her disappearance that she
had eloped with some youthful sweet
heart, and although the father took up
every clew .of this kind offered, and

there were many of them, they only
added to his sorrow and distress when
one after another proved futile.
"I was positive from the first that
Pearl, who had never shown any atten
tion to young men, had not run away
to be married," said the father last
night. "And the love we bore each
other was such that I knew if she were
any place it was possible for her to get
to a telegraph station or write a fetter
she would communicate with me. Her
silence, due to the fact in all proba
bility that she was too closely guarded,
only added to the agony of the situa
tion. But I have the deepest and most
profound thanks to offer The Oregonlan
for its successful effort in locating one
whom I had almost given up as the vic
tim of murder."

WHAT doth it profit? That is th
unanswered whyfore which remains
with one who has witnessed ' Thomas
Dixon's theatrical effort to revive an
issue which the stage has no call to dis
cuss, it is "Uncle Tom" turned inside
out. The period and the conditions of
which "The Clansman" treats are as
far behind us as the foundation of Rome.
Only in one uarly situation does the play
touch the nesro problem as it exists
down South, and that is merely an aside
to the general purport of the play.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, sometime sen
sational preacher, later novelist of the
red-cover six-best-seller type, turned
dramatist, wrote this play, which some
sources have declared to be the answer
to our ancient and accepttsl preachment,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." It is nothing of
the sort. It is a more or less thrilling
melodrama and in this instance is per
formed by a more or less competent
group of actors.
The East and South have been some
what stirred up over the whole affair,
but it really isn't the kind of a thing
one should tear one's fleece-lined gar
ments about. A tolerable, sort of play,
barring a scene or two which are coarse
ly revolting; it is simply mediocre and
there's an end on't.
Mr. Dixon has combined his two novels,
"The Leopard's Spots" and "The Clans
man," in an effort to justify the South's
"shotgun" policy toward the "nigger."
The piece is in every respect amateurish
in Its construction, and Its ultimate Im
pression is decidedly bad. The one big
figure is the mulatto Lieutenant-Governor
and he's supposed to bo the villain,
yet he is the one character that rings
true and the intelligent auditor is prone
to look upon him as the real hero of the
P'lV ls an historical fact that many high
handed outrages attended the "recon
structing" of the South in those un
happy years following the Great War,
but Mr. Dixon has lamentably failed in
making his post-mortem of that long
dead, coroaa -Either. .coAylnclnf, .or entor-i

Mrs. A. Q. TuBon, of Iirermore, Cal.,
writes: "I picked up from my door
step one day a little book In which I
eoob "became very much Interested.
My little eirl of fire years of age bad
been troubled for a lone time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and uadue fatigue. She was all run
down asd in a very delicate condition.
"This little book was very compre
hensively written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele
ments of the cod's liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which la
so hard for children to take.
" 'Just the thing-, said I, for my little
daughter,' and I immediately went for
a bottle of VinoL It helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly In
flesh and strength, and she does sot
take cold half so easily.
"I am extremely grateful- for the
good it has done her, and I hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by my
experience and Just give Vlnol a trial."
