Accepted Without Delay
PROBLEMS^ARE
LESS SERIOUS
Delegates From America
Do Not Want to Do Any
thing to Hinder Arms
Conference in 1931.
Geneva. June 23.— UP) —Cruiser
I strength has been emphasized by the
American delegates to the tri-partite
naval conference, and from the pri
vate discussions that have been pro
ceeding it appeared today that the Am
ericans do not look for insurmountable
difficulties in arriving at some ar
rangement with Japan for a propor
; tionate strength in th : s type of war
j ship as between the two countries.
While Japan is adverse to applica
tion of a ratio system that would
place their country in an inferior po
sition. it is thought-likely that Japan
will accept a tonnage giving
her only a slightly higher proportion
than 5-5-3, that it*, 5 for the United
States and 3.4 for Japan.
There were indications today that
another problem of the conference
was in the way of a settlement, a
problem ra ; sed by Great Britain’s
proposal for a reduction in the ton
nage of future battleships and air
craft carriers, and * the size of their
j guns. Agreements on the size of these
j types of aircraft were reached at the
1 Washington naval conference in T 922,
and the American delegation is un
nrstakably opposed to any direct re
consideration of these arrangements.
Consequently it is thought likely
that as a conciliatory move the Am
ericans will suggest adoption of a
resolution that any agreement adopt
ed by the present conference shall not
prejudice the program of the second
Washington conference, set for 1931.
The treaty of 1922 stipulated that
this second Washington conference
should be called to determine whether
scientific developments justify modi
fication of the agreements relating to
~ the size of fitfflMwhipe. cruisers arid
aircraft carriers.
In discussing fh : s phase some con
ference quarters have pointed out
that the ocean flights of Lindbergh and
Chamberlin raise the question as to
the advisability of greater .aircraft
carrier strength to'keep up with the
develop : ng speed of inter-continental
air communication.

“There is no mistake about Car

Witness Says the South
ern Has Been Especially
Slow With Local Short
Hauls.
Charlotte, June 23.—C4 s )—Charges
that the Southern Railway has been
giving "very. slow" freight service,
and that completion of the electric
Piedmont & Northern line would be a
benefit were made here today by Sal
isbury and Winston-Salem business
men testifying in the hearing on the
l>etition of the electric line for per
mission to extend its trackage.
The hearing is being held by H.
Davis, examiner for the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Southern
Railway and other lines operating in
the Piled moil t Carolinas are opposing
extension of the interurban.
The slowness of the Southern’s ser
vice to Greensboro and points north
ward is such. W. P. Strachan. of Sal
isbury. said, that business houses
have been “forced to private truck
ing.” He said he dees private trucks
for interurban shipments.
On cross examination Mr. Strachan
said he was “with the Southern Rail
way” at the time the Spencer trans
fer was established, and said that “at
that time we thought it would be a
great thing for shippers of less than
car lots from the west.” He said the
present “unsatisfactory” service might
be due to administrative failure.
R. M. Sigmon, a Salisbury real es
tate man, said the building of the P.
& N. through his town would hasten
the development of the municipality
and contiguous territory.
John L. Gilmer, president .’of the
Winston-Salem Chamber of Com
merce read a statement advocating
construction of the vP. & N. exten
sion. On cross examination he said
that his statement represented the
opiniou of the directors of the < ’hatu
ber of Comiflem* He eJftpfiftfctwNt the
expectation that buikliug the line will
be "an important contribution” to
general incentive for development of
the territory it is proposed to serve.
THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady Today at Decline of
5 to 6 Points Under Selling.
New York, June 23. —04*) —The cot
ton market opened steady today at a
decline of 5 to 6 points, under selling
probably inspired by relatively easy
Liverpool cables and a n»ore favorable
view of the weather outlook. Offer
ings were not heavy, but buying was
less active than recently, and after
selling at 17.04, Octobed eased off to
16 97 under liquidation.
Some southern selling was reported
here in the early trading, but there
was trade buying of October and. D
ecember on the decline of about 7 to
10 points from yesterday’s closing
quotations.
The early decline extended to 16.92
for October, or 15 points net lower,
but offerings tapered off and there
were rallies later on a little trade
buying and covering. At midday Oc
tober was ruling around 16.97 with
the general market dull at net declines
of 8 to 10 points.
Cotton futures opened steady: July

GIRL ESCAPED
DURING FIGHT
Deadly Accuracy of Aim
Shown by Fact That On
ly One of Seven Shots
Fired Missed Its Mark.
Chicago. June 23. — UP)— Darkness
mantled n triple slaying early today
in a North Side alley, with no wit
ness left to tell what happened, ex
cept a mystery girl who fled in horror
before the roar of the last reyolver
shot' had died away.
Two policemen shot it out with an
automobile thief and the three were
killed. The deadly accuracy of their
aim was shown by the fact that all
but one of the- seven shots fired found
its mark, the single wild shot being
fired by the robber.
The policemen dead are; Sergeant
Thomas Kehoe, 52 years old, and Of
ficer James Farley, 32. The man
they killed was identified as Dan
Leathers, who in 1922 was sent to
the Pontiac reformatory on a robbery
charge.
The bodies of the policemen were
found on a lawn in front of 4939
North Rockwell street. Kehoe was
dead with a bullet over the temple,
and another in his back. Farley had
been shot in the stomach and' chest,
but was living and conscious when po
lice reserves arrived.
T. A. MARSHALL SHOT
TO DEATH BY STEPSON
Caldwell County Farmer Alleged to
Have Been Beating His Wife at
The Time.
Lenoir, June 22.—T.. A. Marshall,
age 50, farmer of Little River town
ship, was killed today about noon by
a rifle shot alleged to have 'been fired
by Leonard Carver, his IG-yeur-old
stepson. Officers arrested Carver this
afternqon and placed him in jail here
tn» a charge of murder.
The trouble arose between father
and stepson at the noon meal hour,
it_was said. It appears that there
were four of the Carver children.
The stepfather corrected one of the
Carver girls for some purpose, and
this was resented by the child’s
mother. (Words followed and, accord
ing to the story told by the children,
Marshall was beating Mrs. Marshall,
their mother. Leonard Carver, the
16-year-old youngster, ran to get a
rifle but an older brother took it away
from and broke the rifle in two. After
he had put it out of commission, he
threw it down and was thinking of
separating his mother and father.
Again Leonard picked uj> the rifle
and noticed that- when his brother
broke the stock from the barrel it
did not affect the lock or tiring mech
anism and he tired one .22 caliber
bullet which struck his stepfather un
der the right arm. Upon being shot
it is claimed that Marshall started to
get a shotgun, but the older stepson
succeeded in getting it first and tired
•both barrels before his stepfather
could reach it. In his last efforts to
reach the gun the man fell from the
wounds inflicted by the rifle bullet.

Several Prison Guards Are
Also in the Mine, Having
Been Captured by Pris
oners When They Rioted
Lansing, Kans , June 23. —( A *)—
Oats issued as ration for mules today
constituted the only food known to
be available to 328 convicts and their
fourteen captive guards barricaded in
the prison coal mine here since 11
o'clock Tuesday morning.
As the mutineers passed their 45th
hour underground there was nothing
to indicate they wish to withdraw
their ultimatum "No cigarettes, no
coal.”
Prison authorities said the noon
meal ' sent down the 720-foot shaft
shortly before the strikers blocked the
cage would have been exhausted last
night at the latest. This would leave
only thirty bushels of oats intended
for the seventeen mules used in the
mines. The possibility that the men
would butcher the mules 'as they
threatened during a previous mutiny,
was scouted by Deputy Warden R. H.
Hudspeth, in charge. /
A telephone call from a spokesman
for the strikers last night requested
that the wives of the captive guards
be allowed to talk to their husbands
was the last word heard from the
mine. When this was refused, nego
tiations ceased.
Hudspeth said today that any furth
er negotiations would have to be start
ed by the convicts as he was willing
to allow the "hunger cure” to con
tinue.

Giant Coffee Pot City’s First Sipi.
Winston-Salem, June 23. —Standing
at a busy corner as one of the land
marks of old Salem, is u gigantic tin
coffee pot, capable if filled of supplying
probably half the city’s preseut popula
with its mututional blend.
Many fantastic stories concerning
the coffee pot’s, origin have surround
ed it with a mysterious glamour. But
its chief claim to fame lies in the
fact it was, jierhaps, the first piece
of direct advertising iu this section.
The pot was erected in 1858 by
Julius Mickey, tinsmith of the little
Moravian colony of Salem, the first
man ever to sell cooking stoves iu this
part of the Carolinas.
One story has it that it was built
to shelter soldiers during the Civil
war. A trap door in its bottom lends
color to this opinion, and ready access
to small boys who have eliinbed in

Not Able to Identify Ally

Morganton, N. C., June 23.— C4*) — A
crowd fagged out by more than 36
hours of steady searching for Broadua
Miller, negro slayer of Gladys Kin
caid, rested around the Burke counts
court house this morning. Through
the long man hunt there has been no
demonstration of mob rule, though i.
price of SSOO has been placed upon
the head of the negro who has suc
cessfully evaded a party of searchefg
that at one time numbered more thnft
2,500.
The funeral of the young gitl, ft
pretty 10-.vear-old daughter of a prom
inent family in this county, was held
at 11 o’clock from the Catawba Val
ley Baptist Church, and a new wave
of resentment surged over the crowd
. then.
Members of the sheriff’s party havn
been speeding back and forth over tb©
foothill section of North t.!urc(lhkl
in an effort to quickly identify th©
many captures that have been made,
but it is not believed that the right
negro is being held at any of then©
places.
Asheville, Marion, Lenoir, Hickory
and other sections of this country hatr©
captured and held tall “gingercake'*
negroes until tlie Burke officers could
identify them. The only one who
is now being held is a slender light
colored negro who was taken off a
freight train in Hickory. • Burke of
ficials saw him late yesterday after
noon, and doubt that he is the man,
but he is being held for further iden
tification. He says his name is Lucius
Livingston, of Asheville, and that he
worked for a Mr. Wooten until Tues
day afternoon. - *,

The section provides that every

adds "it shall be unlawful for any
person at any time to use a horn
otherwise than as a reasonable warn

unreasonalble lound or harsh souud by

device.”
“Much complaint has been regis

continuous honk-honk racket with
their horns every time they are caught
in a traffic jam,” Mr. Roberts said.
is entirely uncalled for and
instead of speeding up traffic it often
has the opposite effect, particularly
if the car at which the honks ar«
directed is in the hands of inexperienc

effort to change gears and get going
iu order to stop the born blowing that
is speedily takeu up by most cars in
