POLICE PUZZLED
(By Baste rn Press) ?
New Bern. Oct M. ? The myitw
ioua disappearance of T. Eugene,
Cannon, tho Aydon man whose auto
mobile wm found hanging OTer'&Bf
the Trent river county bridge
earh^iwt Monday morning, still re
mains a rayatery despite the fact
that 1t ha a been reported that he has
been located at Norfolk.
The telegram which Chief of Po
lice C. Lupton received Wednesday
night from" J. E.. Cannon, a brother
of the missing man, did not state
definitely that ha had been found
but that he was believed to have
been located at Norfolk. Norfolk
There Is a. possibility that the man
sesn in Norfolk agd supposed to
have been Cannon was is .'reality
aomo one else. It may be possibls
that the report that Cannon had
teen found arose from the fact that
04 Wednesday morning a man was
(ound at Plnetown, N. C., wander
lag around la a dased condition and
rssldsnts there believed he was the
man fpr whom the cltUens of Bast
am Carolina hava been searching all
during the week. ? description of
this man was yosterday seat to rel
atives at Ayde* but it failed to
tally with that of Bugene Cannon.
Chief of Police C. Lupon this
morning received a letter from a
man at Ayd?n who Is a friend of
the Cannons and in this commulca
tlon tho writer declared that his
(Cannon's) relatives firmly bellsve
that he is sllv* and will return home
within & few daye.
From another eection of tho eouu*
try comee * story that may throw
some light on the affair. Yesterday
morning fust before the westbound
train pulled out from Rtverdale, a
colored woman ruahrd up and hand-'
ed Certain William Hlnnant a let
tar addressed to Mrs. Jsnnle Can
non, Ayden, N. C-, stating that, a
white man. had given It to her to
mall. The addressee is ths wife of
the missing man and It Is possible
that the letter waa written by her
husband. However, but little cred
enco is bslng placed In thla theory.
to far as ths local police are con
cernsd at ths present time, the et
falr is $nded. They have been In
structed to cease searohing for Can
non. that he has been located and
tthat his fsmily desire to wait for
him to return.
However publlo Interest In the ef
fslr Will .not end until the misting
one haa been found and gives eotte
explanation of the affair 11 he i?
found hilts.

j Washington, Oct. 80. ? Members

I considering several amendment* to
the federal reserve act which prob^
ably will be laid before the next
Congress.
Most of the proposed amendments
are of a technical nacure, designed
to strengthen the system and to cor
rect *urh mistakes in the original
law in the light of a year's exper
ience. One Important amendment
would chanfo the law so that accep
tances based upon domestic and
cojOmerelai transactions may be
handled by Federal Roserv* banks.
Only acceptances on imports or ex
ports can be taken now.
Another amendment would require
member bank* of the reserve system
immediately to pay in their contri
bution to the capital atock if their
reserve bask and deposit the total
amount of reeervea, instead of
speeding tbe*> operations over a
period of !* months as the extetlng
law provides.

i Ldltor Dally News,
' Dear eir:
I have been greatly interested,
during the last few days, In reading
In the Dally News accounts of the
work that 1b being contemplated In
Washington township towards Im
proving the roade. I Intended being
present at the meeting WedardTday
night, but was unable to do so.
The action taken at that meeting
will mean a lot for Beaufort county.
I am sure. I am a resident of
Richland township and we have been
doing considerable work on th*
! roads here, although we have not
accomplished as much ae we might
desire. Since we first heard of what
Washington township was planning,
there has been quite a good deal of
talk in this section over road work
and practically everyone has agreed
that your people are going about*
things in the right way. I have had
occasion to visit various parte of
the county during the last three days
and have heard the same sentiment
expressed In other sections.
All this leads me to believe that
everyone in Beaufort county le In

time and that it wll* rot be long
b foro the other townships follow
the lead that Washington has taken.
1 hope that Richland township will
be the drat.
We farmers realize that something
must be done about the roads and
We f'el that no\v is the time to do
It. The bond issue plan, according
to my view, la the only practicable
way in which we can secure better
rouda. In this way. everyone Is
made to b' ar his shore of the ex
pense and the toll on each individ
ual person amounts to practlc&My
nothing.
In the other townships o? the
county, I do not believe that it will
be necessary to voti as much bonds
as you are voting in Washing on
and this will make the cost to each
Individual even less than in Wash
ington township.
Hoping that the election will re
sult successfully In your township.
I am.
