The disappearance of the boy was noticed about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when his 1¢yearold brother, Joe, returned from the mill, where the boys had been accustomed to sell papers in the afternoon, cry: ing and without Phillip. The boy's parents were tuable to learn any- thing from the elder brother. Bloodhounds on Trail Search was immediately made for the boy, and the woods and the lake shore combed. It was first believed that Phillip had gone into the woods a short distance from the power house, The search was continued until about 4 o'clock Thursday morn- ing. Neighbors and employes of the mill, with lanterns, combed the vicinity of the powerhouse. At 6:30 o'clock Thursday morning Deputy Sheriff Beebe and the bloodhounds took up the trail. ‘The hounds immediately picked up the scent. It led from the power- house, up the railroad tracks to the B, & M. mill. The mill is located on the shores of the lake, and the lake at this point is narrow, and leads to a water grate, set to catch rubbish. A swift current flows thru the grate. ‘There is usually a rowboat tied to a stake on the Iake shore, but the boat was missing, and the boys are believed to have taken the crift.

Palmer said he would start action on the basis of alleged facts about the packers’ operations, revealed |n reports of the federal trade com- mission and congressional commit- tees, which investigated the firms. President Wilson will take the third step in the campaign tomor- row, when he addresses congress on the need for new and permanent legislation to replace the food con- trol act after peace is ratified. Long before congress acts, It is ex- pected that profiteers will be ar- rested in many sections of the coun- try. The section of the food control act, under which Palmer is acting, provides “that any persén who wi! fully hoards any necessities shall be fined not exceeding $5,000, or be im- prisoned for not more than two years, or both.” SEVEN-CENT CAR FARES ORDERED FOR CHICAGO CHICAGO, Aug. 7. — (United Press.)—-Chicago’s local transporta- tion will cost two cents more after $ 3 ig : gz overalls and a faded hickory shirt.
