She was last seen Sunday afternoon at Ratto’'s candy store, on Twenty-fourth street, between Harrison and Alabama, where she worked. She left the store to | g0 home to supper, with the understand- 2g that she was to return in the evening. | She did not return for the evening’s work and since then has been missing, Y erday forenoon Mr. Himes called at the Central Emergency Hosp uu to see if she had met with an accidént, and not finding her notified the police. When-last seen she wore a green cloth dress, with a shirt walst and laced shoes. She weighs about 1% pounds. bef Pollock to Become| 1/7,\.

SMUGGLING RUMOR PROVES RANK FAKE Battleship Oregon Packages Found to Consist of Souvenirs Only. Through the prompt action of acting Customs Collector William B. Hamilton fifty-two packages of goods landed from the United States battleship Oregon to be transported to the East were seized yes- terday while in transit in custody of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express. A partial examination was made by Ap- praiser Dare, sufficient to show that the rumor of smuggling was altogether un- founded. There ,were dress suit cases, apple boxes, small telescope baskets and other packages of like size, and they were found to contain souvenirs of the voyage addressed to the wives, sisters, daughters and friends of the officers and crew of the Oregon, all of them residing in the East. For instance, one box contained two boxes of fifty cigars each, two fancy cups and saucers worth 30 cents in Japan, one silk kimona worth $1.25 and napkins and doy- lies of small value.” Thesé were intended as gifts to friends, and notet all for com- mercial purposes. It i3 expected that the Becretary of the Treasury when put in possession of the facts by Appraiser Dare will erder the goods released and forward- ed to their addresses. It would be a hard- ship on the jackies who have served thelr country falthfully and well to be required to pay $1.50 or $1.75 duty each on the par- cels that they wish to send to their rela- tives In the East. e HIBERNIANS ARE PREPARING FOR GREAT ANNUAL PICNIC Ancient Order Will Celebrate the Ffllflh at Schuetzen Park With Su- perior Programme, The officers of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in" this city are determined that the annual Fourth of July festival to be given under the auspices of the order at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, will be a very fine celebration.

A feature that will interest many willy be the Gaelic dancing, and there will be contests for all ages.
