STILL A MYSYERY.

| The State Board OF Education, at
meeting Friday, decided to pass by unit
the next meeting the matter OF naming
q permanent successor to Thomas Ten
pie Powell. the missing superintendent
OF public schools of Newport News who
disappeared on February ID.
The case is one OF a most remark.
able character, and as yet not the slight.
est clue has been obtained as to the
whereabouts of the missing man. A
careful investigation has been made BY
the police authorities of New York, and
| Mr.. James Lindsay Gordon, assis apt
district attorney of New York and an
intimate friend of Mr.. Temple Powell,
has personally interested himself 10 the
matter and has done all in his power to
solve the mystery. But every effort
has proved futile, and the dark veil
that hangs over the affair is as impent-
trsble az over.
Mr.. Powell's commanding appear
ance and handsome physique rendered
him a conspicuous figure wherever he
went and he was known to be an athlete
of exceptional strength and proves.
1t was generally recognized that from a
ply sical standpoint he was we'll able to
take care of himself and this fact adds
to the strangeness OF his disappearance;
for II he was foully dealt with, it must
have been cowardly blow that depriv-
ed him of bis life.
Mr.. Powell had been to an entertain-
ment at the Uoiversity Club, 10 New
York, and, still attired In his evening
dress, left the club house intending to
20 directly to Hotel 81. Dennis, where
he had been stopping. From there he
proposed catching the night train for
Newport News. It was between the
University Club and the hotel that he
disappeared, aud where he went or how
he was spirited away has not as yet
been ascertsined.
Mr., Powell's relatives and friends
have done everything in their power to
locate his whereabouts and to ascertain
exactly what happened to him, So alb
solutely bereft are they of any clue,
that it has been impossible even to form
any theory as to the cause OF bis dis
appearance, and this fact naturally in.
creasea their anxiety.
Mr.. L. L. Powell, a younger brother
of Mr.. Temple Powell, assisted by sew
eral relatives, has been In New
York with detectives searching
every possible nook and corner
10 the hope of finding some
clue to the mystery, but "a yet their
efforts have proved of no avail. Pho.
togiaphs and every other possible
means Of identifying him have been
utilized.
