MANY NEW BERN BOYSON "HE' Seventeen Local Young Men At The State University WASH1NC President Wi! Department with Sec retain Norfolk, Sept 8 The mysterious disappearance of Miss Adelaide Bay nor. the 16-year old daughter of Mrs H, H. Baynor, from Her home, 1018 Westover avenue. Monday afternoon, is causing her relatives and friends great anxiety. Monday was the young lady's birthday. She and her mother have been in the city only two weeks, having come here from Pattersoatown, a small village in East ern North Carolina. Monday about noon Mrs. Bay sent her daughter to the home of Mrs. E. D. Lea, 218 West street, where they had lived immediately before moving to Westover avenue to see if there was any mail for her there. The young Udy went to Mrs. Lea's home and, after inquiring if there was any mail for her mother, stated that she was going down town to see if she could secure a position. She said la young man had told her that there I ' . Sit - I I was a position open wnn a oaitery and he felt sure she could get the place. That is .the last any of the friends of the young lady have seen, or heard of her. Mrs. Baynor said last night that and Navy Bu: her daughter had no girl friends in theffw main g city, and that there was no basis forf?? a theory that she was at the home of friend. She is very much worried about the girl. She said that her daughter had told her about a young man stopping her on the street a few days ago and asking her if she were not from Newport News, and upon the young lady's reply in the negative had carried on a short conversation with her, during which he learned1 that the girl was on the lookout for a position. He had told Miss Baynor that there was an opening for a young lady in a bakery on Granby street, Neither Miss Baynor nor her mother knew the name of the young man who had ac costed the girl. The police have been notified of the girl's disappearance, and are working in an effort to locate her. When she left home Monday Miss Baynor wore a white dress with a small pe.iu.ma hat.

Simmons of North Carolina chairman of the Senate finance com mittee and joint author of the Sim mons-Underwood tariff act refused last night to discuss the possibili ties of a revision of the Democratic tariff during the coming session of Congress. "I do not care to discuss that subject just now," was the only comment the senior senator would make. Mr. Simmons left today for Phil- aldephia, where he will join Mrs. Simmons, who has been undergoing treatment at a private hospital. MrB. Simmons is muoh improved in health and will accompany Mr. Simmons to New Bern tonight. Senator Simmons said he had read a newspaper article in the State papers stating that Joe Underwood was the choice of Senator Simmons for the Fayetteville post mastership, and not Mr. Godwin. "As a matter of fact" said the sen ior senator, "Mr. Underwood was the unanimous choice of both Mr. Godwin and myself. Without discussing the matter, we both agreed that Under wood should have the place" Mr. Simmons aked Postmaster General Burleson to have Mr. Un derwood nominated for the place at once. As stated in these dispatches the Department decided that no more nominations would be sent in until Coneress meets two months hence An exception in this case may be mn.ln nnd if so the President will make a recess appointment. to give a all lots of land, or timber lands that you wish ft put on the market to Dr. B.

The entire club eouse had been ap propriately decorated for the occasion and presented a scene of real beauty.
