FIROR STILL Clue to the Whereabouts of Missing Man. In stite of the strenuous efforts of the police department and his friends, no trace has been discovered of missing Frank Firor, formerly secretary and treasurer of the Charles Schneider Baking Company, who disappeared suddenly from his home and office Saturday morning. Since Satur- @ay afternoon the detectives have been at work on the rather mysterious disappear- ance, but their utmost endeavors to secure a clew that might lead to the man’s wher: abouts have proved futile. Since his dis- appearance Saturday morning no one $s known to have seen him. Mrs. Firor is No 8 Stinemetz,<, 1237 PENNA, AVR, payZ3-200 Drew big |!

It is urged by 40me of Mr. Firor’s friends that he has simply gone away in a fit of temporary insanity, brought about by an excess of busigfess ‘cares and overwork. These claim that he will finally turn up none the worse for his disappearance. The man’s family avetinelined to hope for the best, but fear the worst. The police are still at work on the case and hope soon to discover a clue that will lead to the much- wanted information concerning Firor's movements on Saturday morning and after- noon. ———-__ LINE UP OF CADETS, High School Drill for Pri This Afternoon, After many months of preparation, the High School Cadets are at last in shape for their annual competitive drill, and the 2d Battalion, consisting of Companies E, F, G and H, will itne up at National Base Ball Park this afternoon to be tested in the various field maneuvers of modern mil- itary tactics and the manual of arms brought up to date.
