it. reaches the starting point
On August 9 Auckland received the
naval visitors, and on August 15 the
fleet will start for Sydney, where the
ships are scheduled to cast anchor to
morrow. Seven days have been allotted for
the exchange of courtesies at Sydney
and the fleet will then pass on to
Melbourne, where it probably will re
main from August 29 to September 5.
Six days later will see the fleet in
Albany, on the west coast of Aus
tralia, where it will remain until
September 17.
Then will come the long jump to
the Philippines, where the battleship
fleet is expected to arrive on October
1, remain 10 days and proceed in two
squadrons. The second squadron will
reach Amoy on October 29 and re
main until November 4, when it will

Receipt of additional evidence has
The arrest of Mr. J. S. Gray, a
prominent commission merchant of
Raleigh, yesterday afternoon, on the
charge of obtaining goods under
false pretenses, created quite a sen
sation in the city. The warrant
upon which Mr. Gray waB arrested
sets xrofr tttmctar w'
"That J. S. Gray did unlawfully,
wilfully, feloniously, knowingly and
designedly, with intent to cheat and
defraud, obtain from the corpora
ion and public carrier, the Raleigh
& Southport Railway Company, 200
sacks of oats, valued at $558, by
falsely and fraudulently represent
ing to Paul D. Allen, agent of said
corporation, who delivered Bald oats
to said Gray, relying on representa
tions made to him by said Gray, that'
he, the Bald Gray, had paid to the
Citizens National Bank of Raleigh,
the draft from the shippers of said
oats, and had the same in his pos
session, and he well knew that said
representations were false and that
he had not paid said draft."
Mr. Gray was brought before Jus
tice C. A. Separk yesterday after
neon, who- required of him an ? 8 00
bond. The bond was not given, but
strange to say, Mr. Gray did not rest
in jail last night. At 10 o'clock this
morning he was still in the custody
of the sheriff, bond not having been
arranged.
MessrsHolding and Bunn appear
for the prosecution and J. W. 'Bailey
for Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray contends
that there was an overcharge of $30!
in freight rates, and that payment '
was dererred pending a settlement
of the dispute as to the rates.
