WOMAN, 85 YEARS OLD, IS MISSING Mrs. Matilda Miller Sought Since Friday and No Clew Is Obtained. POLICE AND FRIENDS AID Mrs. T. Ross Returns After Absence to Find Home In Disorder and Mother Gone; Religious Differ ences or Foul Play Theories. Mrs. T. Ross, 1884 Bast Madison Street, has enlisted the aid of the Port land police, the Sheriff's office and friends in the search for her mother, Mrs. Matilda Miller, aged 85 years, who mysteriously disappeared from Mrs. Ross' home last Friday afternoon. Mrs. Ross went shopping- Friday at 1 o'clock, taking1 her grandson with her. She left her mother at home, after the latter had declined to ac company her, asserting1 that she was tired and wished to rest. Mrs. Ross bade her mother goodbye, leaving Mrs. Miller on the bed in her room. When Mrs. Ross returned she found the house upset and everything turned topsy-turvy. The drawers in bureaus had been rifled and general disorder prevailed. She looked In Mrs. Miller's room, but Mrs. Miller could not be found. Thinking that she was visiting one of the neighbors, Mrs. Ross thought little of her mother's disap pearance until late Friday night. Police Get No Clew. Saturday morning she appeared at police headquarters and asked that pa trolmen be advised of the disappear ance of Mrs. Miller. All Portland's po lice kept an eye open for Mrs. Miller, but night failed to reveal her hiding place. Mrs. Ross, assisted by friends. Bousrht In the woods that circle the home, but failed to find Mrs. Miller, so the aid of the Sheriff's office was asked and depu ties will be detailed to scour the neigh borhood for the lost woman. Mrs. Miller had been in good health. eaid Mrs. Ross yesterday, but owing to a visit to the cemetery on Deco ration day was rather tired. For that reason she declined to accompany her daughter on a shopping tour Friday. Mrs. Miller has lived with Mrs. Ross . and a son, Theodore Miller, who now lives near Astoria, for the past ten years. She would often leave the home of Mrs. Ross and go to her son's home without lettin&r anvone know. That. however, was before Mr. Miller removed to the Lower Columbia. Mrs. Ross does not know exactly where Mr. Miller is. so she does not think her mother could have gone to him. Foul Play Is Feared. Mrs. Miller has two married daugh ters living in Lents, and these Mrs. Ross visited yesterday, with no result. Mrs. Miller was a stout little woman and when she departed wore a black dress, white waist, a blue coat and a black bonnet trimmed with purple flowers. Mrs. Ross could think of no reason why her mother would leave home un less It could have been because of re ligious discussion. Mrs. Ross is a Methodist and Mrs. Miller a Catholic, and Mrs. Ross said yesterday that some of Mrs. Miller's Catholic friends might have induced her to leave. This theory Is given little credence, how ever, by the authorities. Mrs. Ross has missed things from her house repeatedly and whether the thief was caught In the act last Fri day and did away With Mrs. Miller Is a Question the police will have to decide.

To - do this Mr. Wright gave up all his liter ary activities. Such a co-ordination of famous writer, producer and studio working force Is said never, to have been known since motion pictures were evolved from the novelty period to the undertaking of cinema features of many reels. I "The Eyes of the World" is a story of California. For the film production the author has added a prologue which goes back to Boston a generation be fore the opening scenes of the book and shows the origin of his characters. This is said greatly to Increase interest In the people of the story. Readers of the book will recall many scenes In the mountains that ought to provide great material for a thrilling and scenic photoplay. There is, for instance, the furious hand-to-band com bat of Rutlidge and King, the rival lovers, on the precipitous' cliff. As In the book, this Is the major climax of the film production, and great things are promised in the way of thrills when this is shown on the screen. The search of the forest rangers for the missing mountain girl who has been kidnaped Is another feature of the romance, from which much may be ex pected in the picture version. This part of "The Eyes of the World" Is said to provide opportunities for an exhibi tion of much daring horsemanship. For these scenes two of the greatest riders In the country were engaged by Clune, the producer, and the result Is said to be embodied In- several scenes never before shown In photo-drama. An elaborate musical score is a feature of the production. Hart in Cowboy Make-T7p. William S. Hart, who appears at the Columbia In person tomorrow night. is Just finishing a comprehensive tour of the chief cities of the country; a trip that was commenced four weeks ago at Los Angeles.

From Port land Hart will Jump to San Francisco, and after spending a few hours In that city will return to Los Angeles to re sume the making of photoplays under the direction of Thomas H. Ince. In his appearance before Portland fans Hart will be seen in his familiar cowboy make-up the real Hart of the screen, with wide-brimmed Stetson, fuzzy chaps, flapping, flowing bandana about his sun-tanned throat, and with spurs clanking at bis feet.

In order that every detail in connec tion with the Intimate war scenes of Plckford's forthcoming Artcraft pro duction, "The Little American," should be correct, Cecil B. De Mille, the di rector, induced Captain Ian Hay Beith of the British army, and author of the story, "The First 100,000," personally to supervise these scenes. Captain Beith happened to be in Los Angeles on a lecture tour, and hearing that Mr. De Mille was staging Miss Plckford's new patriotic story, "The Little American," immediately offered to put his knowledge of modern war fare at the disposal of the director. - The scenes depicted the French army being driven back by the Invading Ger mans through a French village.

Hotels May Be Affected by Order, ma Moat of Them Are WIUUm Half Mile of Some Armory. TACOMA, Wash.. June 4. (Special.) All alien enemies living within one half mile of the Puget Sound Navy yard at Bremerton or the Army bar racks at Vancouver, Wash., must change their residence by June 9 or suffer arrest. That announcement was made by United States Marshal Boyle today after he had received Instructions from the Department of Justice at Wash ington. Mr. Boyle said that the order would be rigidly enforced. A point not made clear by the order Is whether or not state armories will be protected in the same way as the Navy-yard or barracks. Mr. Boyle will ask further information regarding this. If armories are so protected it may have the efTect of barring out travel ers who are not citizens of the United States, aj most of the hotels in North west cities are within a half-mile ra dius of armories. It is said that the order as inter preted for barracks and Navy-yards will affect a considerable number of persons. Instructions received in Portland are to the effect that armories are included in the order prescribing the zone for bidden to alien enemies. Germans who have not received permits will not be allowed within one-half mile of the armory in Portland. Cove Girl Gets Highest Average. COVE, Or., the 138 Union June 4. County -(Special.)
