The departments summary also says
that short time after the Deering
passed the lightship, Il steamer. the
name Of which has not been ascer-
tanned. passed the light vessel and
was asked to stop and take a message
for forwarding but no response was re-
ceived to the numerous attempts on
the part OF the master of the lightship
to attract the vessels attention..
The departments summary then
says that on April II, the following
message was picked up in bottle near

HDeerng captured by oil burning
boat something like chaser, taking off
everything, Handwriting crew. Crew
hiding all over ship. No chance to
make escape. Finder please notify

neither Of them has been picked up
and no wrcckage from them has been
found. Most Of the provisions, cloth
ing and supplies of the vessel had
been removed"
Government agents INVESTIGATING
the Hewitt and Deering cases said
they arc baffled and that thus far
they have not found single clue that
might lead to solution of the mys-
terlcs. Equally as battling, they say,
are the cases Of the British steamer
Albyn, and the Russian bark Yute,
which disappeared last fall off the
North Carolina coast
Another Steamer Lost
The Albyn sailed from Norfolk last
October and never was heard from
again, while the Yute when off Cane
ilattcras sent radio message asking
for aid, but when steamers reached
the position given in the message an
hour later no trace Of the vessel was
found and, it is said, she has never
been heard from since. Reports to the
government are that the weather was
perfectly calmn.

Township Saturday Evening.


Dials, June 20.-A death that caused
universal sorrow throughout this sec
ton, was that OF Mrs. Isabelle S.
Brooks which occurred at her home
Saturday evening somewhere about
$3.50 o'clock. Mrs. Brooks demise was
sudden and unexpected, the end com
ing peacefully and unheraldcd while

The deceased, had she lived until
juno Gath, would have been 81 years
old. Before her marriage to the late
Robert L. Brooks, she was a Miss

Brooks families were among the
pioneer settlers Of this section. Her
husband preceded her to the grave
some twenty years ago.
Mrs. Brooks was lifelong mem
Der Of Dials Methodist church, and
beloved by all who came in contact
with her pure Christian life. Gracious
in manner and mind, hers was a char
actcr that attracted all, but more es-
pecially was her kindness and piety
felt by her family and relatives.
Sunday afternoon intermcnt took
place in the cemetery here, the fun
eral services being conducted by her
pastor, the Rev. c. w. Watson. assist
ed by the Rev. Geo. Hopkins, pastor

WATER COMMISSION
MAY NOT ACCEPT
Says Council May Do Job
Unhampered
BOND ELECTION
BEING DELAYED

Commission Appointed by City Coun.
ell to Build Filtration Plant Thinks
Service Would be Useless as Re-
sponsibiIity Rests at Last with City
Council.
Plans for holding elections on the
question of voting bonds for city I'M
proyement purposes, such as filtration
plant, water and sewer extensions and
street improvement, remain unsettled
as the commission appointed by the
city council several weeks ago to as
sumo direction of the filtration plant
mas notified council that they will not
consent to serve under the conditions
of their appointmet. The proposed
commission was composed of AIessrs
W. l.. Gray, w. r. McCuen, l.. G. Bale
and Er. w. III. Dial.
Thursday night Joint meeting was
held between the council and the four
appointees, when the matter was thor
oughly gone over The commissioners
pointed out that by virtue Of previ-
Gus act of the council in employing an
engineer for the filtration plant and
also on account Of the restrictions
thrown around public service commits
Sions, that this commission would real
~ be without that power and authority
which 1t would like to have in assum-
ing the obligation of spending such a
large sum of money. They pointed out
that the statutes only empowered them
to act in an advisory capacity and that
the city council itself was, after ALL
the deciding fctor. Therefore, as sew
eral members of the proposed commits
sion said, the city council might as
well go ahead with the work and take
whatever glory or blame attached to
the final results AS an instance Of
the position in which the commission
would be placed, it was brought out
that the council had already contract
ed with the Ludlow Engineering Com
pany to furnish plans and oversee the
work Of the filtration plant upon fiat
fec basis. The commission took the
IN'iNicii ehaS ~ lldfS pO"cI "
make such a contract. Mr.. ludlow Of
the engineering firm, was present and
assured the proposed commission that
his firm would work amicably with the
members and said that in view OF the
work already done by his forces that
he would expect the contract to be
carried out.
Several members OF the council
driftcd out during the course OF the
session and adjournment was taken
without a definite course being adopt
ed. The council met again Monday
night and, without any vote on the
question. it seemed to be the general
ly accepted opinion that the mayor
should secure definite answer from
the commissioners as to whether or
not they will serve. In case they re-
fuse to serve, the mayor Is then to
have the petitions for the election cir
culatcd and exact plans for further
procedure will be worked out later
