. MEDFORD, Or.. July 20. (Special.)
Practically all hope of ever finding;
Miss Frances Ash, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Archie Ash of this city, who dis
appeared from the Seaside hotel at
"Waikiki beach, Honolulu, sometime be
tween midnight and 5 A. M., July 3, has
been abandoned by her friends and
relatives here.
After conflicting reports from San
Francisco Mr. Ash received a cable
gram from Honolulu Friday which
stated the young lady had not been
found. Letters reported to have been
received from her subsequent to her
disappearance, were written, it appears,
by her sister. Miss Gertrude Ash. who
arrived in Honolulu about three weeks
before the disappearance, and who
many friends of the missing girl did
not know was there.
Disappearance Causes Stir,
According to Honolulu newspapers
the disappearance lias caused a great
sensation both because of its impene
trable mystery and the social prom
inence of the young lady. Miss Ash was
-3 years old. of decided beauty and
harm, and since her arrival in Hono
lulu had been engaged in social charity
and patrioitc work.
According to letters from Miss Oer
trude Ash, her sister's disappearance
was first noted at 7 o'clock the morn
ing of July 3. She was not seen by
anyone as far as known after retiring
about midnight, and the conclusion she
had gone in bathing was drawn from
1he fact that tho only garment in her
wardrobe missing was a blue bathing
suit. The water at Waikiki-inside the
reef is very clear, however, and a 48
hour search was made by divers, swim
mers and a government airplane. Hono
lulu authorities do not believe the
young lady was ,drowned and a search
of the island, conducted by Governor C.
J. McArthy and members of the Hono
lulu walking club, was equally fruit
less. Humors of o Value.
Of course a great many rumors
shound. but Miss Ash writes none of
them has thrown any light upon the
mystery. The only hope now enter
tained is that Miss Ash, in a moment
of mental aberration wandered from
the hotel in the dead of night and
made her way unobserved to the coun
try, which is in some places covered
with an almost impenetrable brush, and
may have been taken in by some native
family, which has not as yet been
found by the searchers. This, however,
is conceded to be a very slight hope,
and family and friends generally have
abandoned all hope of ever seeing the
young woman alivo again.
Mr. and Mrs. Ash have lived in Med
ford 10 or 15 years, coming here from
Spokane, where Mr. Ash was very well
known. Miss Frances Asli made her
home here but during the war entered
the navy as a yeomanctte and later
engaged in war community service in
San Francisco, going to Hawaii from
t here.
HONOLULU, T. H., July 20. The ter
ritorial authorities who have been in
vestigating the disappearance of Miss
Frances Ash, a Medford. Or., girl, who
was last seen July 3 on the Waikiki
beach, have concluded Miss Ash was
drowned in the surf and have aban
doned further search.
Investigation of a theory Miss Ash
liad been kidnaped was followed for a
time, but no supporting evidence was
found.

President to Resume Vliite Hou-c
Conferences on Return Page
to Present Resignation.
WASHINGTON7, July 20. President
Wilson, with Mrs. Wilson, spent Sun
day aboard the presidential yacht May
flower cruising' the lower waters of
the Potomac. Neither the white house
nor the navy department had heard
from the Mayflower since her depart
ure from Washington la'-e yesterday,
although she is equipped with a wire
less set. It was presumed that the
president was enjoying- a complete rest
since hje took no papers or documents
with him.
The Mayflower is expected to return
here about 7 A. M. tomorrow.
Immediately upon reaching the white
house the president will begin a series
of conferences for which appointments
have been made.
Another caller at the white house
tomorrow will be Thomas Nelson Page,
who returned to the United States re
cently to present to the president his
resignation as ambassador to Italy.
It is expected the president during
the week will give some attention to
his forthcoming tour of the coast in
support of the league of nations. In
circles close to the president it is said
to be unlikely that he will start his
tour during the next fortnight.

WORLD CONFERENCE HELD
Representatives of Lancashire Cot
ton Industry to Send Delegates.
LONDON. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) Misgivings Lan
cashire cotton men had regarding the
world cotton conference to be held In
New Orleans in October have been
pretty well dispelled by the commission
of American cotton men which has vis
ited this country. At first the Lan
cashire people could not see any reason
for having a conference at that time
and no reason at all for holding it in
America. It seemed for a time that
there would be no delegates from the
various organizations in Kngland.
The Americans have pointed out to
the British that as the world relies
mainly on American cotton most of the
problems of handling it arise there and
it would be a good thing to discuss
them on the spot. They also main
tained that, although the Americans
were the first concerned, the interests
of manufacturers and spinners were
not inferior tj those of merchants and
plants.
These arguments have prevailed and
Sir Herbert Dixon, chairman of the
Fine Cotton Spinners' association, has
consented to head the delegation. The
Liverpool Cotton association has de
cided to send delegates and it is virtu
ally assured that the Manchester Cham
ber of Commerce will do likewise.
It has been suggested at Manchester
that British spinners might get along
with empire cotton and in this connec
tion James T. Broadbent, one of the
members of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce who met the American
commission, spoke as follows: "You
may just as well get going with the
other Knglish-speaking people who
helped to safeguard the liberty of the
world and let us keep control of the
cotton. The question of where it is
grown shoulud be only incidental."
SWINDLER GOES TO PRISON
FVencli Ranker-Promoter, Long a
Fugitive, Is Sentenced.
PARIS, July 20. Henri Pochette,
banker and promoter, today was sen
tenced to two years imprisonment and
a fine of 300 francs font swindling
French investors to the amount of
more than 10.000.000 francs through the
sale of Mexican railroad bonds in 1910.
Ilochette was-first arrested In 1908,
charged with swindling in connection
with bucket shops. He was released
later on bail and remained at liberty
until 1912, when he disappeared. He
was located in Mexico Citv, where he
had occupied a position close to Fran
fctsco Madero, at that time president of
Mexico. His extradition was demanded
by the French government, but Ro
chette disappeared. In October, 1916,
he was found serving under an as
sumed name in an automobile section
of the French army and arrested. He
was placed on trial in the criminal
court again on June 20 last.
Charges were made in 1912 that gov
ernment officials had been interested
in protecting Rochette after his release
on bail.
