'No message has teen received from
Dr. Young since Friday flight and this
has greatly increased lbs fears of

day and in company with Senator
Overman ealled upon the officers, of

Special to Charlotte Observer.
!New York, July 16. As the iays
roll by and no tidings come of the
missing North Carolina ensign, Rob
ert S. Young, Jr., who was attached
to the torpedo boat Perkins, which
sailed today, and who mysteriously
disappeared leaving a suicide note,
- all theories that he is still alive are
- exploded and Young 'b friends and as
sociates shake their heads and sadly
say, "I guess he is dead, poor fel
' low." -. -
Up to a late hour tonight no word
' has, been beard from any of the
" many- seachers. throughout the eoun-
try that would indicate that the en-
sign was . still alive. Anxious, in
- quiries of friends and relatives at the
.Brooklyn navy yard regarding news
of Young are met with "Not a word,
bis whereabouts are still a mystery.
"This does not come from the head
officials . .but from attaches of the

.fparently in deeper trouble than has
yet come to light. They are oi tne
opinion, however, ajmost to a .man
-that Young's body wiu soon be found
$in the waters hereabouts. . ; They point
:to bia "romatic love affair with the
pretty Virginia" maiden, Miss Bessie

rahe had jilted, him.. This, -with hiB
pending court martial trial, and the
; extreme '.hot weather which is be
tvlieved to have affected his already
troubled brain, is believed to have
iled him to determine to end all by
"jumping into - tne bay... Hence his
suicide note and disappearance, "
V' Friends of Young understand that

A New York dispatch to Sunday's
Charlotte Observer is aa follows r
The whereabouts of Ensign R; 8. Concord, Tuesday, August 1, Mount
to fee Hold la Concord, Mt Pleasant
and Harrlsbnrg August 1, S and
Srd.
Fanners' Institutes will be held at
Young, Jr., who mysteriously disap
peared from the destroyer Perkisa, u
yet 'unknown to the general -public
While the Brooklyn naval comman
der, Lieutenant Pringle, would not ad
mit to The Observer correspondent
that he bad either seen the young man
or his father, who had come on here
from North Carolina, the latter, it is
asserted, has paid a visit to the com
mander and himself has disappeared,
but has- earned with him the assur
ance "that his son, is alive.
Some of Yonng's associate still as
sert that he is love-sick,vand will turn
up married. This opinion, however,
is not shared by several of the navy
yard officials, who still believe that
Young's body will eventually be
found in the wall about the basin,
into which they believe he threw
himself, i
Both Lieutenant Pringle and Ad
miral Leutza make it plain that they
do not believe Young a suicide and
hint at a. love affair, but they decline
to commit themselves on- a direct
question. Nor will they admit that
Young s tather is or has been in New
York.. One thing appears certain:
Ensign Young is either involved in
more serious trouble than a love af
fair or is a suicide. '
A Washington dispatch to The New
York Sun says :
The excessive heat of the last few
weeks is believed by the naval au
thorities to have been primarily re
sponsible for the disappearance of
Ensign R. S. Young, Jr., of Concord,
N. C, who was attached to the tor
pedo boat destroyer Perkins at the
New York navy yard, and for the
suicide ten days ago of Lieut. Thomas
D. Ozburn of the cruiser Taeoma at
the. same yard.
Papers concerning both cases which
have been forwarded to Washington
by Rear Admiral E. H. C. Leutze,
commandant of the New York yard,
indicate that both' officers had com
plained of having suffered . greatly
from the beat and each appeared to
have resorted to the use or stimu-
Admiral Leutze telegraphed to the
department this afternoon expressing
the belief that Young tlid not kill him
self but had disappeared for the pur
pose of escaping trial.
At the request of Dr. K. S. Young
of Concord, N. C, father of the miss
ing ensign, Senator Overman of that
State. called at the Navy Department
this afternoon and was informed by
Acting '-' Secretary Nicholson of the
facta m far as they are known. - Sen
ator Overman appointed Young to .the
Naval Academy and has known him
all his1 life. He declared his belief
that Young was not a suicide and was
surprised that he was to face a Court
martial, declaring he had always been
of the most exemplary habits. On
the theory of non-suicide the navy
yard basin and slips will not be drag
ged for a few days at least.

But to Mies Jennie Smith belongs the
distinction of solving the problem ac
