Mrs. Edgar L. White Mysteriously Absent From Home

Miss Lottie L. Hoadley of Prince William county, Va., and Edgar L. White of this city went to Rockville, Md., three weeks ago and were married by the Rev. Mr. White. Today the husband called upon Inspector Boardman at police headquarters and asked that the police assist him to find his wife.

"She went away from our home at 637 Pennsylvania avenue southeast about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon," said the husband, "and did not come back. I fear her mind has become affected and I am anxious to find her."

The young man said he had not had an unpleasant word with his wife. When he went to work yesterday morning, he stated, his wife kissed him and said she would have his supper ready when he returned home.

"But," he said, "when I returned she was not there. I waited for her, hoping she would be in later, but she did not come back, and I am uneasy about her."

The missing woman is twenty-three years of age, has light complexion, hair and eyes, and wears glasses.
