FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED Though H Had Little Money on Hia ' Person, Supposed Dead Man Was "Well Fixed Financially Wife and Daughter Talk. VANCOUVER. Wash., March 7. (Spe cial.) Unfathomable mystery veils the disappearance of Gottlieb Keller, who dropped out of Bight February 5 as completely as though the aea had swal lowed him. The grief -stricken wife expects never to see her husband alive again and today offered. 100 for the recovery of his body, or information leading to finding him. if living. In addition. Orchards Granse, of ' which Keller was an active memtter, . has offered 125 reward. The last seen - of the old Swiss sailor, painter, ranch er, was- on the evening of Saturday, February 5 about 6 o'clock, as he was walking in the direction of Vancouver on the Fourth Plain road by Frank Moblay, end son, storekeepers at Orch ards. Keller, who was born In Switzerland 62 ' years ago, sailed to the United States when he had attained legal age. Drifting west he took up the occupation of painter and followed this for years. He was married here many years ago but his wife soon died. Kight years ago Mr. Keller married Mrs. Haney, she having two sons, Rudolph and limeat, and a daughter. Miss Anna Haney, who now Uvea with her. The boys are In Everett, Wash. Domestic Troubles Arise, i About three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Keller had some domestic difficulties and they separated for a time, and later she went to Everett with her children. Last Summer Keller went to Everett to visit his wife and they forgot their troubles, and she promised to come back to Vancouver and live with him, which Bhe did. Monday, January 31, Keller started to the little farm, telling his wife he would return early the following Sat urday evening, and they would go to gether to buy a number of records for the phonograph. That was the last she kaw of him. He was seen working on the ranch every day during the week and Saturday started home, apparently, and he stopped In the store at Orchards to buy some cheese and crackers. "With the paper liagr in hand he started down the Fourth I'lain road and was seen a mile or more hearer Vancouver by Frank Mobley and Eon. Who knew him well. A man an swering the description of Keller asked for a drink of water at the government pumping station, less than a mile from Keller's own Vancouver home, that same night. After that no trace was found of him. A searching party of 36 friends, includ ing Sheriff "W. D. Sapplngtoa end his two deputies, George Johnson and J. A. Walters, and Louis Koppe, scoured the whole region from Vancouver to the Keller place. . Keller had two certificates of deposit for a few hundred dollars in the First Rational Bank of Vancouver, and also Viad a deposit drawing Interest In the First National Bank In Portland. When he disappeared he took his check book, but inquiry at both banks elicited the Information that he had not drawn a check since he disappeared. This la conclusive evidence to many Interested in the case that Keller will never again be seen alive. They argue that a he had but $2.50 when he was last seen, he would no doubt draw on one account or the other, no matter where he may be. "We have been accused of killing him. it has been said that he was robbed for his money, some think he was killed and his body burned to remove the evidence, and many other tales have come to our ears," said Miss Kaney, his stepdaughter, who has been living at home. "I am sure that he did not leave home or go away because it wasn't pleasant for him here, e he continued. "While mother and be did have words three years ago, they had forgotten about that and got along the best in the world. I am Inclined to believe that he was murdered by robbers nd his body thrown into the Columbia." "I never expect to see my husband Blive again," said Mrs. Keller tonight, and I hope the body is found, at least. I Sra in a terrible suspense and it makes K even harder to bear when we cannot ven find hia body. I will give a reward vf J100 for the recovery of his body." It was rumored that the youngest topson and Keller did not get along M well as they might, and that he xiad been seen in Vancouver about the time that Keller disappeared. Miss Ianey said that there was nothing to this) story as her brother has not been kere since last year. It has been said that Wechner, the Btepoon of the former wife, desired Keller to deed Win the 20 acres several f ears ago but Keller would not do his.

HIPS THAT COME AND GO AVoinan AVlio Has Just Acquired Them Voices- a Lament. "It took me a long time to realize that hips had really gone out," said the plump little married woman. "For years I was thin and my family kept telling me I had no shape; It's hard to think, now that I've Just got them that they are consid ered a hindrance to beauty.

As she happened to be pop ular, you can imagine the sacrifices they were put to. "I heard the other day that hips were coming back it's only a rumor, but I'm waiting eagerly for it to be confirmed. If it were but possible to run down the originator of an ugly fashion and fix the blame where it belongs, just as one brings a criminal to justice for foisting an ugly deed upon the public conscience. But I am inclined to think that no one person is responsible for an ugly fashion any more than one. person Is responsible for a bad deed. Something is going on in the bowels of the earth and the vol cano spouts out lava. It doesn't do Mes sina any good, or so it seems. Fashion is one of the tongues of the cosmic mind It has something to say to the common people and they will not listen until it speaks through things which one puts on every day." "According to that theory, what do you think the present-day fashions are say ing?" asked the man who had been lis tening. "Simplicity, perhaps some of the wom en's hats. If you notice, fit the head. Simplicity of diet, too, may be that would mean less rotundity and fewer clothes surely, that is what the gown without a petticoat says unmistakably." Boston Theaters Make Millions. BOSTON, March 7.

The Santa Maria players registered four hits all told, two off Guyn In five innings and two off Ryan in the last four. Portland was not any too strong with the willow for "Coon" Hardison, the local pitcher, allowed only five hits, two of which were decidedly scratchy, and all of the runs scored by the Coast leaguers came through errors or the wildness of Hardison. McCredie's players ran the bases well, as four stolen bases eventually result ed In runs, and they also worked the hit-and-run play In a manner which augurs well for the coming season. Perrlne and Casey around that sec ond bag played a star game, for nothing got through them, and the only error chalked up to the Beaver squad was against Captain Casey, who muffed a pop fly, which he lost .in the sun. Perrlne seemed to be everywhere, and Joe Smith was far from being slow at third base. One of the stops made by Joe Smith was sensational and the speedy underhand - throw to first base. Just nipping the runner, caused Santa Maria fans to applaud warmly. In the fifth inning, with two on bases through a hit and pass, Guyn fanned Dana, and Fisher doubled Hardison off second base by tossing1 quickly to first, and Lodell, relaying the ball Instantly to Casey, caught the second man nap ping In the neatest possible manner. This is a play engineered in practice by Casey and has worked out twice already, McCredie being a victim of it the other day. The make-up of the team was: Position. Santa Monica. ...IB.............
