DISAPPEARS
AFTER VISIT
TO OUACK
A pathetic appeal from a daughter
Of Augustus G. Trautwein, 62 years
old, who disappeared from the home
of relatives In Los Angel
21, has enlisted the state* board of
medical examiners in the nationwide
search that is being made for the
old gentleman.
Shice Trautwein went to the of
fices of the European Medical clinic,
116 South Main street, Los Angeles,
for a treatment on the morning of
his disappearance no word has been
received from him nor has his body
been located.
DETECTIVES FAIL IX SEARCH
The Pinkerton agency was given
the case three months ago. A big
reward has been offered and oper
atives have been detailed to the case
continuously, according to Informa
tion from the Los Angeles head of
the detective concern, but no satis
xactory progress has been made.
Thousands of bills have been posted
with photographs and minute de
scriptions of the missing man, but
they have been of no avail.
The European Medical clinic Is one
of the most notorious quack medical
concerns in the United States.
The "clinic" is operated in conjunc
tion with a "museum of anatomy"
and has been closed by the authori
ties several times. .
JOSLBH VXD HOLSMAN OWNERS
Every few months the personnel of
the "doctors' employed in the faking
establishment is changed, but the
owners who pull the strings of man
agement are the notorious Dr. Otto C.
Joslen and Charles K. Holsman, the
bold quack who is fighting the cru-
Bade of the state board of medical
examiners with all his power.
Trautwein is 62 years old. He Is a
frail little man, weighing but 115
pounds and Is not more than 5 feet 2
inches In height. Hie hair is gray.
He wore a full beard and mustache,
all gray.
He was of melancholy disposition,
due to 111 health, the circulars an
nounce. Five days before his disap
pearance he had signed up for a se
ries of treatments with the European
Medical clinic and took them regular
ly each day.

and we will be, anyhow, by and by."

flrst offenses together, and the first
they confessed after their arrest,
when trapped at the home of the

uation for Britton by having her sent
to the home of a married sister, Mrs.
John Coogan, in Denver.
The girl was today said to have
consented to this plan pending the
outcome of Britton's case.
FR. RICARD TO TELL
SUN SPOT SECRETS
SAN JOSE, Dec. 15.—The mathe
matical formula for figuring plane
tary influence on gases surrounding
the sun which will revolutionize the
science of weather forecasting Is
promised the world soon by the P.ev.
Father J. S. Ricard, director of the
Santa Ciara universitly observatory.
Father Ricard has made a spe-i
clalty of solar observation, coupled
with terrestrial weather disturbances,
and several years ago worked out the
theory that the appearanoee of spots
on the sun heralded changes in the
weather on earth.
He then set out to verify a slowly
formed supposition that weather dis
turbances were due to the magnetic
pull of planets on the sun's gases.
He has of late secured the collabora
tion of Albert Rorta, professor of
mathematics at the university, in this
work, and their discoveries are al
most in shape to be given out.
Father Ricard in a lecture In San
Francisco Knights of Columbus hall
tomorrow night will answer criticism
as to his methods.
