CHILD LABOR CONDEMNED Fifth Annnal Congress on Subject Opens at Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 21. "Keep the child out of the factory."

AXTOX XOCUBETS TAKES $80 AND DISAPPEARS. Crabtree Farmer Has Not Heard From Nor Seen His Wife for Three and a Half Slonths Past. ALBANY, Or.. Jan. 21. (Special.) lira Anton Yocubets disappeared from her home near Crabtree, Linn County, on September 30 last. Since then relatives have been unable to learn anything re garding her whereabouts and county offi cers have searched in vain for traces of her. Her disappearance is as mysterious as it is complete. According to her husband's story, he arose at E o'clock, on the morning of Sep tember 30, and went to the barn, leaving his wife In bed. When he returned to tiie house less than an hour afterward the' woman was gone. She left ber best clothes and all of her Jewelry, but Yocu bets says that fSO lie secured the day be fore from the sale of some hogs went with her. It Is only two miles from the Yocubits' home to the railway station at Crabtree, but the train crew Is positive the wo man did not take, the train at that point. She was not seen on the road or sbout the station, but it was foggy that morn ing. To secure a train at any other point she would have been forced to walk 14 miles to Albaay. or almost an equal dis tance to Jefferson. Several days after the woman disap peared neighbors became suspicious re garding the matter and feared foul play. But a month elapsed before the matter was brought to the notice of Sheriff D. 9. Smith. Neighbors then came to Albany and told him of the circumstances of the affair. Sheriff Smith at once started an Investigation and he and Deputy Dis trict Attorney Gale, a Hill made a trip to the Yocubets' home. Nothing to indi cate foul play was learned. Yocubets' former wife killed herself November 7. 19(6. at the home where he now lives. Shortly afterward he took his two little boys East to live with his sister and while there became ill and was taken to a hospital in Chicago. When he was convalescent, the present Mrs Yocubets. who was a friend of his sister and brother-in-law, called to see him and this call resulted in marriage about a year apo. ' After this marriage, Tocubets returned with his second wife and his two boys to live on his farm. The woman sup posed, it is said, that Yocubets was wealthy and had a fine place in Oregon. Neighbors say Mrs. Yocubets. who ap- .rnmA tA h. -..ftTiAri jinA well educated. was somewhat surprised at her surround ings. Officers believe this Is one of the strongest circumstances In the theory that she fled from the place voluntarily, and was not the victim of foul play. It Is admitted that the new Mrs. Yocu bets did not get along well with her two stepsons, but so far as has been learned there was never any hint of trouble between Yocubets and his wife.
