DAUGHTER DISAPPEARED, i "The woman said her daughter had a desire to go on the stage. The mother tried to reason with her. telling her that she was only 14 years of age, and tnat she should first have a proper education, and later a stage career might be considered. On Friday last the daughter disappeared. The woman at once went oira search of theatrical agencies.

She found an agency con ducted by a man named Travis, ind he told her that he had booked her daughter a troupe which was located in Pittsburg. The woman's friends told her to go to the New York police. She did so, and they telegraphed to Pittsburg, but learned that the daughter was with no troupe in that city. "The police then sent a detective with the woman the theatrical agent. The latter told a different story.

He told (the. detective that the girl had been sent on to Wilkes Barre to join a troupe being placed on the road by a man named Gotthold, who said that he owned the Wyoming Val ley Hotel 'and the Hotel Wilkes Barre in the ctiy of Wilkes Barre. The de tective advised the woman to com" to Wilkes Barre at once and tell (the police her story. She first went to the Wyoming Valley Hotel, and asked for the man whose name she had, who she said was proprietor of the hotel The clerk told her that no such man owned the place, and that no theatrical troupe was stopping there. He advised her to go to Hotel Wilkes Barre.

It was then that she came to police headquarters. FOUND AT BLOOMSBURG. "After telling Sergeant Conroy all these facts he set out, and found that the man was in Bloomsburg rehears ing a troupe. The sergeant ''advised the woman to go to bed and come police headquarters in the morning: This she did. She arrived early in the morning.

Chief Jones was present then, and he telephoned to Bloomsburg, and informed the chief of that place to meet the woman at the station. The chief of police of that town met her as requested, and when she told him of the troupe he took her to a hotel where the members were stop ping, and in a few minutes she was with her daughter. "There was a "scene" between mother and daughter, but It lasted but a few minutes. The daughter was repentant and willing to go home, being already tired of theatrical life. The mother was forgiving and the return trip was soon made to Wilkes Barre.

"The woman again appeared at police headquarters yesterday after r.bout 4 o'clock with her daughter, a handsome young woman, looking to be all of 18 years instead of only 14. She is quite tall and graceful, has snappy black ey.es, with coal black hair and was attired In a rich white silk costume.
