Crowell, the railroad man" from Maine, who came to North Carolina to direct, operations of the State-contnl-led A and N. C, railroad and later chosen its president, was placed in full charge, of the Kt ,nnA mtv terminal last SaSimulfaneou8ly, two other officials of the A. and N. C were given po rtions with the Port Terminal, thus making evident a direct adminis trative tie-up between the port and vl- a aA NT. C. The railroad, leased' for many years by the Nor folk Southern, was taken back by the State to serve the port. The appointment was made effec tive immediately. A bulletin issued Saturday and signed by Ben F. Roy al, chairman of the Morehead City Port Commission, aeciareu Crowell was to have "full charge ot Operations." Maurice R. Beaman, general man ager of the terminal, was granted an indefinite leave of absence on ac count of illness, the bulletin said. E. W. Dozier, traffic manager and W. M. Dutton, auditor in charge of accounts for the A. and N. C, will .erve in similar capacities with the Morehead Terminal. They will re v,ni connection with the rail road and their new duties are class ed as additional. Under Crowell during the ia five months of the first year, the railroad operated in black figures. Port Commission officials were high in their praise for the work Beaman accomplished in the establishment of the Port Terminal at Morehead City. Recover Stolen Safe A safe containing several hundred dollars which was stolen from the D. Pender store here last Saturday night was found on Sunday by a down near the shore of Taylors Creek. Drifting in the creek nearby was a boat which had ben stolen from Capt. Jack Willis, and which is believed to have been used by the robbers in transporting the safe away from the store. It had been opened with chisels and the con tents removed. So far no one has been arrested in connection with the robbery. Dr. R. C. Smith, Carteret county coroner, stated today that he would conduct a hearing on Monday or Tuesday of next week in efforts to determine whether the skeleton found on Peanut Shoal last Thursday by Capt. Snow of the Menhaden boat Bishop is the remains of Joe Willis, who has been miss ing from his home in Morehead City since last July 2. It was tentatively identified as Joe Willis, but rumors started which indicated that the missing man might have been seen in various Eastern Carolina towns since July 2, added more mystery to the story. A number of wit nesses will testify at the hear ing Coroner Smith stated. In hte meantime, Solicitor Dave Claik of Greenville has ordered that the fragments of the skel eton remain unburied until a a Coroner's verdict h reached.

Practically 100 percent of the store managers agreed to remain closed on Saturday but the out of town superintendents of one or two chain stores ordered that they must be open on that day. That resulted in the independent stores following suit. It is un derstood though that the bank will remain closed on Saturday giving their employees two Christmas holidays.

C McCon- nell, rector of St. ram s. nurmi rites were conducted in St. Paul s cemetery. The school band rendered ritual music during the last rites. Mrs. Geffroy died suddenly Sunday morning the result of a heart at tack. Her husband, M. R. Geffroy and four sisters survive. They ar Mrs. S. P. Hancock, Mrs. George W. Huntley, Miss Ella Davis and Mrs. H. L. Potter. Two nephews, who made their home at St. Paul's, Charles and Frank Thomas also sur vive. Nannie P. Geffroy was the foun der of the present St. Paul's school, cvio was the dauchter of the late James C. Davis and Sallie Fasteur Davis. At the age of eight she promised her dying mother to carry on her wnrlf in startine a school. At 12 she employed her first teacher and start ed in a one room building, a school that grew to large proportions. St. Paul's filled an important need be cause of the lack of educational fac ilities in the county. Her life's C. G. Patrol Boat Cahoone Arrives waa that s. hoo . She r. ivei turned down a c'n :d that truly want ed an education, taking many whom she clothed and fed, and started on the road to success. Manmp P.

She was the grand niece of the late Louis Pasteur, eminent French scientist, on her mother's side of the family. Nannie P. Geffroy disliked mnvintr nicture shows and radios. The only moving picture she ever saw was "The Life of Louis Pas teur" presented at The Beaufort theater a few months agd. Her St. Paul's school was endow ed by friends throughout the coun try. Her death brought assignments from the Associated Press for news papers in larger cities of the United States and a special story was as signed by The New York Times to their local correspondent. Nannie P. Geffroy made St. Paul's school, what it is today. Whether her death means the death of the school, could not be determined as we go to press today.
