ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII Says Interurban May Be Developed Into A General Freight Line J. S. Cureton, of Green ville, Says Line is “Dis tinctly Interurban” But May Be Changed Later. SAYS LINE HAS AIDED BUSINESS Witness Thinks P. & N. Has Been Big Factor in Establishment of 64 Cot ton Mills in That Section . I Charlotte, .Tune 22. — UP) —Although insisting that the Piedmont and North ern Railway, an interurban line, is "distinctly an interurban” at present, .1. S. Cureton, Greenville, S. C„ to day told Examiner H. C. Davis of the Interstate Commerce Commission that j extension of its lines might change its nature to that of a general carrier of freight. Hr. Cureton was testifying in favor of the petition of the electric line's petition for a permit to extend its lines so there will be a continuous line from Greenwood, 8. C., to Wins ton-Salem, N. C. Cross-examined by Stahle Linn, of Salisbury, of counsel for the Southern Railway, the traffic manager was put through a series of questions designed to develop that the line is a general freight carrier. When he had stated that the extension might change the character of the line, he was asked the extent and nature of the possible changes, but snid he would not tell. Most of the questioning of Mr. Cure ton related to intricate costs of trans portation problems. They were pressed closely, however, and reference made several times to testimony on yester day that the Piedmont and Northern expects to mnke a physical connection with the Norfolk and Western at Winton-Salem, and form part of a new and direct route to the Virginia coal fields. George W. Forrester, of Atlanta, a traffic manager, told the examiner that the proposed extensions nre "nec essary to take care of the expanding business of the cotton mills.” He said lie was traffic and rate expert for BtW cotton mill* in the southern states. On twdtb-exMoluatlon b*c said - the Transportation service of the Southern Railway is good. Mr. Cureton at the outset of his testimony said that the expansion of the textile manufacturing industry of the Carolina* in the past fifteen years has exceeded that of any other sec tion of the union. A chart was in troduced showing the location of the cotton mills in the Piedmont section of the Carolinns. The Piedmont and Northern, he as serted. has been “the contributing fac tor in the establishment of the 64 cot ton mills built in this territory since 1010,” and pointed out that the chart showed the mill* were more dense in ! the territory served by the electric line than in contiguous territory. There are now 3,230,000 nctive spin dles along the line. The witness said that a service of “a different character” is afforded by the Piedmont and Northern, as com pared with steam lines. On direct testimony Mr. Cureton read a prepared statement going ex tensively into statistics tending to show the delivery of interchanged shipments was completed with great er dispatch by the Piedmont and Northern than by the Southern Rail way.

The Concord Daily Tribune North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily RIGID INSPECTION OF DINING CAR MILK Tills One Question Discussed at National Conference of Sanitary j Engineers. Tribune Bureau. j Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. June 22. —Plan* looking toward more rigid inspection and certification of milk served on din ing ear* in interstate traffic were among the principal questions dis cussed at the National Conference of State Sanitary engineer* but re cently adjourned in Chicago, accord ing to H. E. Miller, chief sanitary ! engineer of the State Board of Health, who attended the conven tion. Incidentally, Mr. Miller was elect ed president of the National organi . nation although Mr. Miller was back from the convention for several day* j before anyone found out that he had been elected its national president. E. 8. .Tisdale, chief snnitary engineer in West Virginia, was elected vice president. For a number of years, strict supervision over the source of sup ply of the water used on trains in interstate commerce has been exer cised by both the United States Public Health Servicce. and by the boards health in the various states, but to date there has been no super vision whatever of the milk supplies carried on the dining and buffet Pullman ears in interstate traffic. It was the sense of the conference that regulations fully ns strict as those covering drinking water should be made to cover the milk supplies, especially since much of this milk is fed to infants. The necessary machinery looking toward the extension of sanitary regulations j to cover milk and food supplies on diners is believed to have been set in: motion nt this conference. Following the conference of state I sanitary engineers. Mr. Miller nt-1 tended the national convention of j the American Waterworks Assorts- j tion. which also met in. f’hicago. and where many important subjects deal- j ing with water supplies and sewer nge disposal were discussed.

SAWED THROUGH BUNK HOUSES Guards Ceased Prisoners Who Could Not Cross River and Who Had to Take to Dense Swamps. Houston, Texns, June 22.— UP) — Thirty-five long term white convicts who escaped from the Ferguson state prison farm near Madisonville, eighty miles north of here, at midnight last night, were believed to have been sur rounded this morning in the densely wooded Trinity River valley near their camp. Guards from the prison camp were reinforced by volunteers from all sec tions of Madison county called by farm authorities to assist in the man hunt. Most of the prisoners were serving long terms. Many were described ns desperate character*. All' efforts to communicate with the farm by telephone failed, indicating the eonvicts cut all wires. So fat as could be learned, no one was in jured in the break. The men sawed through their bunk house and ran to a highway where they started toward a ferry on the Trinity River a short distance north east of the farm. Guards hastily took up positions near the ferry and the fugitives were turned southward before they could cross the river. Dogs were then secured, and aided in chasing the men into thickets along the river bank. The section through which the chase led is a virtual swamp with mud several inches deep. It is impassable in many places to any thing except men on foot. ' Farm officials denied reports that the prisoners had commandeered auto mobiles and Worses.

C„ WEDNESDAY, J UNE 22, 1927 SEEIROBBERSWHO OPENED GRAVE IND BOBBED DEAD BOD! Necklace and Rings Taken From Body of Mrs. An nie Benfield When Grave Was Opened Last Night. OFFICERS ARE SEEKING CLUES Casket Was Not Lowered Again and Body Wap Placed Face Downward After It Was Robbed. Rowan county Authorities nre seek ing this afternoon the identity of the persons who aliened arid robbed the grave of Mrs. Annie Benfield some time during Tuesday night, removing from the Ibody a necklace and several rings, the value of which could not be estimated today. Mrs. Bentteld. who died Monday morning at her home in North Kannapolis, was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon nt Greenlnwn ceme tery, Chinn Grove. Discovery of (lie daring riVbbery was made this morning by relatives who had gone to the cemetery to place flowers upon the new mound. The casket had been taken from its grave, the cover removed and the body plac ed face downward, and the clothing of the body disarranged generally. Immediately news of the outrage spread throughout China Grove, Kan napolis and surrounding territory and interested persous began to gathering at the grave. Officers were summoned, and at this time it was discovered that the jewelry—keeiisakes of the deceased —had been removed from the body. The casket was immediately remov ed to the funeral parlors of Bell and Harris. Kannapolis, and the body again prepared for burial in the same grave. The incident has caused many theor ies to be advanced, and likewise stirred the feeling of tiie people who reside in that section. One theory has been advanced that the persons committing the robbery must have known that Mrs. Benfield was buried with a necklace about her neck and rings uiMin her fingers. Stjll another story is reluted Rut ‘possiSiy th> unidentified persomCrdbfll ed the grave out of mere curiosity! to see possibly if the casket did contain any valuables. Every possible effort to apprehend the guilty is being exert ed not only by officers of Rowan coun ties but also of Cabarrus county. Reports of the affair reuching Con cord early this afternoon did not pro vide the information as to whether any tracks were visible or how many tracks, if any, were found. The grnve robbery greatly distress ed relatives and friends of the beloved woman who had made her home in North Kannapolis for the past twen ty years. Some relief, however, was felt by them when it was ascertained P. & N. Controversy May Grow Into Big Political Question The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, June 22. —That the Pied mont and Northern controversy may grow, into a political question of na tional proportions, especially if the Interstate Commerce Commission should rule against its petition and side with the steam railroads who are opposing the P. & N„ is the belief of several who have just returned from Charlotte, where the hearing on the convenience and necessity for the P. & N. is in prograss before Examiner Hackell C. Davis, for the Interstate Commerce Commission. However, the majority of those who have been following the progress of the hearing feel confident that the pe tition for the extension of the elec tric road will be granted and that there will be no subsequent political developments either way. This latter opinion is shared by Governor A. W. McLean, who, after attending the hearing and reading a statement in favor of granting the petition by the road, believes that the Interstate Com merce Commission cannot do other wise than grant the request. Yet there are others who are not so optimistic and who see in the pres ent hearing merely the preliminaries of a long drawn out fight in which a billion dollars worth of railroads have combined to maintain their mo nopoly on the transportation in what is probably one of the greatest indus trial districts in the United States,, and to prevent, an industrial organi zation —the Duke interests —from in- 1 creasing its service to its own anil other industrial enterprises through j the establishment of electrical trims- 1 porta tion service. So if is that several see in this hearing only a preliminary battle that may eventually be carried to the na tion at large* as an issue in a na tional political campaign. And that issue will be, if the P. & N. petition is not speedily granted, whether or not the railroads of the country can continue to throttle competition and to dictate its own rates, with the si lent consent and approval of a Re* publican administration. But aside front any political sig nificance which the henring may have, it is of great interest to the state as a whole and of vital importance AI to Surrender His Golden Smile g * A1 Smith*B famous “golden smile” will soon be a thing of the past.

' The highest rank in the Italian Faseisti is corporal. to the piedmont section which would be served by the extension of the I’. & X. It is generally known, of \ course, that the Piedmont and Northern is a part of the Duke interests, and under the Duke foundation. And it i* now proposed to expend the $15,- 000,000 current surplus of the Duke estate in extending the electric line, which now runs from Greenville, S. C., to Charlotte and Gastonia, on to Durham and Winston-Salem. This ex tension is being opposed by the South ern Railway, which ha* the moral support in its opposition of the Sea board and other steam railroads op erating in Carolina territory. . The Piedmont and Northern on the other hand i* taking advantage of the “convenience and necessity” clause in the Eseh-Cummiugs transportation act, and is attempting to convince the Interstate Commerce Commission that the construction of these extension lines is warranted by “convenience and necessity” in the areas the ex tensions would serve. The railroads are contending that no convenience or necessity is involved and that the territory through which the extension would pass is already adequately nerved by the steam carriers. In the course of the hearing it was brought out by W. 8. Lee, chief engineer and vice president of the Duke projects, that the extension of the P. & N. as far as Durham was contemplated by Mr. Duke as far back as 1910, and that at thut time char ters were obtained in both North and South Carolina for the building of the road from Greenville, 8. C„ to Durham, N. C. And this was known both to the Southern and Seaboard, he said, and exhibited contracts with those road*. Mr. Duke planned this road in order to extend better service to the section served by his power companies and in order to stimulate more manufacturing through the pro vision of more ndequate transporta tion service. And that Is the desire of the P. & N. today—to provide better, quicker and cheaper transportation services, especially on short hauls, to the prin cipal manufacturing area in the state —the piedmont section. Tile hearings are being watched with interest, ih all' sections of the state and the final result will be anxiously awaited. DIFFERENCES OVER NAVAL LIMITATIONS CONFERENCE TOPIC I Hugh Gibson, Chief Amer ican Delegate, Held Con ference Today With Two Delegates From Japan. GREAT BRITAIN NOT REPRESENTED Japan’s Delegates Told of Difficulties Facing Plan But Offered to Do All Possible to Aid America. Geneva. June 22.—(A 3 )—Hugh S. Gibson, chief American delegate held n private conversation with Admiral Viscount Saito and Viscount Ishii, of Jagiaii, today on the problems raised iby the big divergencies between the American, British and Japanese naval limitations projects. AV. ('. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, found himself un nble to attend this first private meet ing because of a session of the Do minion delegates, but he was to see Mr. CJibson during the afternoon, and have a general talk. The Japanese delegates told Mr. Gibson that it was difficult to discuss limitation of auxiliary naval vessels in terms of ratio, but assured him that Japan earnestly desires to reach an agreement, and believes one can be achieved if all the factors of the various nations were taken into con sideration. After tlie meeting the leaders de nied a report that Vjscount Saito had flatly notified the American delegate that Japan was unable to accept the 5-5-3 ratio for auxiliaries. While the leaders were tackling the broad political aspects of the Ameri can, British and Japanese proposals, the naval experts of the three dele gations met to begin a technical study of the three plans in order to ascer tain the exact purport of various phrases in them.

Thousand Mpt ' diking l Negro Ffijpwing Death I Os Woman He Attackfl SHARP SHOOTERS OF STATE TO ENTER MEET Guardsmen Will Participate in Na tional Rifle Championship. The Tribune Bureau • Sir AA’alter Hotel Itnleigh, June 22.—North Carolina sharp shooters will again participate in the national rifle championship con tests to be held at Caiup Perry August 2Xth, it was announced today by Gen eral J. A'an B. Aletts, adjutant gen eral N. ('. N. G., and an effort is i now being made to assemble the best rifle shots in the state from all the various national guard unite into the team that will be sent to Camp Per ry. "Last year no national champion ship contests were held, owing to lack of funds, since the federal government made no allowance in its appropria tion for these contests,'' said General Metts, "but this year the appropria tion has been restored and the contest will be resumed.” North Carolina has always been well represented at these rifle con tests and her marksmen have always come home with a good score to their scredit, General Metts said. And this year an intensive effort is to be made to assemble the best rifle team in the state's history. The state will also be represented by a civilian rifle team, selected from the members of the University of North Carolina Rifle Club, General Aletts announced, having forwarded its application for entry within the last two or three days. The team will be headed by B. B. Colburn, Jr., of Biltmore, the president of the club, who will also act as coach of the team. This rifle club at Chapel Hill, though a civilian organization, is known for its good marksmen and the state will have a double opportunity to "bring home’ the bacoli”from Camp Perry. Under the rulings of the war de partment each state is permitted to enter one civilian rifle team in the national championship contest, in ad dition to tiie teams representing its military organizations. Hence this team from the University rifle club is the only civilian team that can be entered from this state. UadbergbV Flight Abide Record For the Newspapers. Atlanta.
