A report Reaching New Bern from

that Senator F. M. Simmons is en
deavoring to get an agricultural ex

city and ha had several conference
with Sevretary Houston in regard to
this matter. Secretary' HoUaton paid
New Bern a visit a few weeks ago
and white here, looked , over the
farming land in this section and Was
very favorably impressed with if.
At present there is one government
experiment station for agricultural
work in North Carolina and, that is
located in -Iredell county. . Senator
Simmons has made investigation, as
has Secretary Houston, and finds that
the work' done there does not fully
oover the State and that if another
station wa located in this section,
that it would -prove of great benefit
to the whole of Eastern North Caro
lina. The matter will probably not
be finally settled for. several months
but there is every reason to believe
that Senator Simmons will get it
through... . t .'..'

An "unconfirmed report" reached
New Bern .yesterday to the effect
that ' the body of Mrs. W. E.
Porch of Beaufort, who with J. W.
Murray of Burlington and G. P.
Dodson of Norfolk, Va., lost her
life when the pleasure yacht Julia
sunk off Engelhard, Hyde county,' on
the, morning of January 15th, had

young Gustavus Oodson.'from whom
Mr. Murrav" had pufchased th'e "Jul
ia" was the, first one found and that
did not come to the surface until
five- weeks, after the fatal accident.
The discovery of Mrs. Porch's body
leaves only one yet not located, that
of Mr. Murray. The boatmen in
that vicinity are keeping a close
watoh for this body and there is every
reason to believe that it will come to
the surface as soon as the weather

REV. J. W.HAM .0
BE HEARD HERE
(By B. 0. Jones.)
-, An event of unusual interest to the
Christian and moral element of the1
city wUl be the Evangelistio campaign
whioh is to be launched by the Taber
naole. Baptist church in June. Rev.
John tW. Ham and his evangelistic
party has been f secured to conduct
this campaign and it is expected to
be one of the greatest religious meet
ings in the history of the oity.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Ham is a former pastor of the Taber
nacle and needs nO introduction to
ftyangelistio work exclusively for a
number of years and has met with
marvelous success and is now greatly
in demand for evangelistio services.
The Tabernacle tried to secure him
for their campaign last falll but his
time was engaged so far ahead as to
make it impossible for him to come
to New Bern beforo Juno of this year,
and they! feel that they are indeed
fortunate in arranging with Mr.
Ham to oonduot their summer cam
paign. Preparatons for this meeting
will begin on next Sunday, at which
time Rev. J. A. Sullivan, of Wilming
ton, (one of the Ham Evangelistic
party) will come to the Tabernacle
for the organization of a personal
workers band. This organization will
receive instructions from Mr. Sullivan
and will begin from next Sunday their
work of preparation for the campaign
in June when Mr. Ham together
with his pfcty arrives.
Mr. Ham has with bim Prof. A.
A. Lyon, of Atlanta, Qa., who con
ducts the singing in his meetings,
and who will have charge of the
musio in the campaign at the Taber
naole. Prof. Lyon is a. gifted choir
director and an accomplished 'soloist
and his wise and efficient' direction
of the musio has played no" small
part in the great campaign conducted
by Mri Ham. ''-" .
Prof. Lyon will organize a large
ononis choir for the meeting here,
which will insure to musio lovers of
the oity a rare treat and will doubt
less be looked forward to with much
interest. ' -
The exact date of the beginning of
the campaign has not yet been an
nounced, but June7 has been settled
upon a the month and ; the day
will be announoed later..
Every Christian in the oity, re
gardless of denomination, will be in
vited to participate in these services,
and the campagin is expected to be
city-wide in it scope. ', j; ' ', ,

She has . not peeo seen since.
Headquarters; detftives and the
entire polioe -force are scouring the
city and thi; morning, if nothing fur
ther has 'been heard of the missing
woman, the' dock will be dragged.
Mrs. Griffin is only twenty-five
years old.- fr,Griffin came to Rich

board with,, iMa Carpenter at ths
Twelfth tfee lome. Mrs. Carpen

she was treatBof as one of the family.

very young. . Her father had just d:ed
and had left her a fortuue of several
thousand dollstrt. Shortly after be
coming, ofc age she assumed control
of the business interests that had
been directed' )y a guardian. As a
silent partner she operated several
butiness;.ettter)rise.s and was quite
successful, ;;.'' ,
About ' three, years ago she fell in
love withMrGrimn. Her husband,
aftejr thebj. marriage, took over entire
control of hertusimMraffairs. it was
not long-before she noticed that he
was spending a good deal of money.
The young wife remonstrated, but in
vain. After only two years of high
living her .husband had spent nearly
her entire fortune.
When the money was gone, their
relationship grew, strained. She final
ly deofHed to leave him and did this
after signing a separation agreement.
Becomes Despondent
She oame to Richmond and since
November has resided here. Mrs.
Carpenter told the police last night
that :Mrs. Griffin had grown very
despondent since being here and of
late this despondency was more no
ticeable. Last Thursday night while sitting
in her room, with Mrs. Carpenter,
she talked of suicide. She mentioned
that it looked rather coarse for one
to shoot one s self. "I could never
out my throat," she is quoted as say
ing. But she said, "Whenever I look
down in to the water, I have a pecu
liar feeling as if. some one dowD be
neath the placid waters were calling
to me. I often feel that I would like
to answer that call, so compelling, so
soothing and sympathetic. I feel that
I know that some one is calling to me
from beneath the surface who will
be kind, and feel spiritually strong
whenever I gaze .into the water."
' Believed She Answered Call
Her conversation of Thursday
night, coming just before her sud
den disappearance Friday has led
her friends to believe that Mrs. Grif
fin' committed suicide by drowning.
Mr. Carpenter, and the entire house
hold that knew Mrs. Griffin well are
grieved over her disappearunoo.
', Other theories have been advanced
and the polioe have learned that Mrs:
Griffin wore several artioles of expen
sive jewelry when she disappeared.
Mr. Carpenter told the polioe last
night that she would have reported
the disappearance of Mrs. Griffin at
onoe had she not feared the publioity,
and also she .thought too, "that Mrs.
Griffin might return home. On Fri
day morning,, a Mis Dor, Lowe, of
Clayville, Va., a particular friend of
the missing woman, called at the
Twelfth street home. She informed
Mr. Griffin that she wa leaving that
morning for a visit to friends in Ral
cigh. ',.,!,. Yr
! Mrs. Griffin decided to walk up the
ttreet with her. . She left her board
ing house with Miss Lowe, after ask
ing Mr. Carpenter if there was any
artiole which she might purchase for
her while up the trwt..- A fact very
unusual connected with her actions
on that morning J now recalled by
Mr. Carpenter, who ay that Mr.
Griffin did not pay the particular at-

MYSTERY CASJL
BAFFLES POLICE "
OF DURHAM, N. C.
Prominent Merchant Found
'On Public Road In Dy
ing Condition
WAS 1TMURDER?
Authorities Are Undecided
As to How the Victim
Sustained Injuries
Durham, Mareh 9 Lying in a
pool of blood Mr. Bv N. Mann, a mer
chant of the Fayetteville road amo
tion, was found in an unconscious and
dying condition at the corner of East
Peabody and South Dillard streets
at 8:40 o'clock last night by Mr. B.
Carpenter, of No. 61 Ramseur
street. Police Sargeant Pendergraph
was called and he summond an auto
bile in which Mr. Mann was hurried
to the Mercy hospital and placed on
tue operation table. Although every
thing possible was done to save his
life he died at 11:20 o'clock this morn
ing. The unfortunate man was ba.ily
cut about the faee and there waf a
terrible gash in the back of his bead
The skull was fractured on the back
side. Both eyes were bloodshot and
there were other minor bruises about
the temples which led to tho belief
that he had been dragged over the
ground. His clothes were not torn
nor was his hat damaged. It was
found a short distance from where the
body lay. When found he was un
conscious and roraained so until
placed on the operating table but he
was given ether before the opera
tion was performed.
If the gentleman had been robbed
the thief of thieves left no clues. His
clothes were removed at the hospital
and a search of his pockets showed
the following: Eighty-six cents,
gold watch and chain, pocket knife,
bunch of keys, one pound of beef
steak, a lot of matches, a lead pencil
and two or three letters. The money
was in nickels and pennies with the
exception of one quarter. '
The officers suspected, that' the
stricken man had been set upon .'by
some one and knocked senseless with
robbery" "as " Ibe
; iaienV hifajjjjjt. a number' of ohinges hav Ybeen:
all amount of changelpaaij ig. &m&fi&ytptf
that he had a small i
and his watch .failed to shake this
theory for it. was later learned frin
his olork, a 'Mr. Miles, that he had
an amount 'of greenbacks during yes'
such in his 'Mp pocket. No paper
money was "found on him nor was
there a pocketbook about his person.
The officers were inclined to believe
that he was robbed of his purse and
contents and the watch chain and
change left in his clothes to avert
suspicion.
Under A Lliht
The affair happened under a gaa
light and within one block of Main
street. Any one who is familiar witn
that section of the city knows , that
the trees and other foliage to . be
found directly in front of General. J.
S. Carr's home affords an exoellent
shelter for just such an act.
The other theory was that Mr.
Mann was struck by a speeding auto
mobile and let in the streets by a
driver who was trying to gst away
jusl as quickly as possible. The duls'
and bruises about the forehead and
eyes looked as though he had been
struck violently there by some ob
ject and knocked to the ground. This
would explain in the hole in the baok
of his head. The doctors wefe under
the impression that the back of the
head struck the ground as there was
a lot of dirt in the wound but when
found the man was lying face down
wards. It is possible that he turned
after falling but when found he was
unable to move and the muscles in
his body and legs were growing rh
id. One arm had stiffened but it was
thought that this was caused by' the
all.
Used Street Car ,
Mr. Mann wa a resident of West
Diirbam' but did a business in the
better section of Hayti.. He use the
street car in going to and from his
tore and the offloers . believe that
someone, possibly a negro, knowing
that he' carried hit money with him,
followed him from hit store and whon
the dark seotiori was reaohed attaot
ed him. Then again the fact that he
waa found in the street lend itrength
to the theory that the damage wa
done by an automobile.
Mr, Mann could not have been
stricken more than .fifteen minute
before he was found by Mr. Carpen
ter. Otis r Wilkerson taid that, he
passed that P? fifteen minute be
fore he wa found and that there wa
no one on -the street there at that
time. .
, Mr. Mann i survived by a wife, and
one daughter.' Mr. t Mann is Itnown

been president of the Durham chap
