ASSOCIATED PRESS r* DISPATCHES, VOLUME XXVII Concord Men Declare City Should Benefit From The Interurban ♦ ... T. N. Spencer and State Senator F. J. Haywood Declare Line Should Be Built to Serve This City. PRESENT ROUTE NOT RIGHT ONE Dr. Spencer Declares the Route “Is Not Really in; Public Interest” Since It Would Not Serve City. Charlotte, .Tune 24. —C4*)—Need for further transportation facil'ties in the piedmont section of the Carolina*, and the problem of tinancinfc the proposed extension of the Piedmont & North ern electric lines were stressed in to day’s hearing before the Interstate Commerce Examiner H. C. Davis. W. S. I.ee, president of the South ern Power Co., and builder of the electric line which is seeking the right to extend its line* from Spartanburg to Gastonia, and from Charlotte to Winston-Salem, was recalled and questioned about financing. He said that all arrangements had been made to finance the extenesions, the cost of which will be about $15,000,000. W. S. Creighton, of Charlotte, a freight traffic expert, asserted that the Piedmont sections of North Carolina and South Carolina "are not ade quately served by transportation fa cilities it present.” ns compared with the United States as a whole. De spite this handicap he asserted the Piedmont sections have become among the richest in the nation in per capita values of farm and factory products. Mr. Lee in testifying regarding the financing of the project which is to be financed according to previous tes timony. by the sale of bonds and the use of cash in the treasury, said that he would "take all they won’t take" when asked if consideration had been given to the formjng of a syndicate to handle any securities unsold to pres ent stockholders. Mr. Lee said Hint the 1‘.,& N. is now negotiating with the Norfolk A Western for a physical connection at Winston-Salem but formal agreement has not yet been reached. Examiner Davis refused to admit into the record a document received from WiJJ’m^ihbs.McAdoo,-former, head of the United States Railway Administration, who appeared earlier in the week for the Georgia A Flori da Railroad. Attorneys for the elec tric line said that Mr. McAdoo had sent in the document when he found he could not return, as he had expect ed. but attorneys for the Southern Railway protested that they would have no chance to cross examine. The examiner later, however, admit ted ns part of the evidence, testimony taken by the Interstate Commerce Committee, when the Georgia & Flor ida last December was permitted to hu'ld a connecting link from Augusta, Ga.. to Greenwood, S. C. Several witnesses discussed the “great need” they said was felt at Concord and in Cabarrus County for an extension of the P. A N., or for other railway facilities than those now available at Concord. State Senator F. J. Haywood, of Concord, was among those appearing in favor of the extension of the line to Concord. The proposed routing of the line at present does not touch Concord, which is served only by the Southern Rail way. The Southern, it was said, be cause of topographical difficulties, cannot furnish sidetracks for all in dustries. Dr. T. N. Spencer, of Concord, tes tified on cross examination that in his opinion the present proposed routing i of the electric line "is not really in , the public interest" as it would not , serve Concord. , OPEN ROAD TO RUTHERFORD JULY 30 , Big Celebration Planned With Not a- ] bles of State Present. Rutherfordton, June 24. The ] Rutherford County Club decided at , its monthly meeting at Henrietta to ; sponsor a mammoth celebration at i Lake Lure Inn.

I, - 1 FLOOD DISTRICT PROBLEMS DISCUSSED BY EXPERTS ' State Engineers and Sanitary Officers Discuss Problems Facing the Flood ] Victims. The Tribune Bureau Bir Walter Hotel i Raleigh, June 24.—While the dan ger of disease ip the flood areas in ' Arkansas, Mississippi and Ijouisiana ! is believed past, the problem of re ‘ hnbiliation is as great as ever, and in some sections more serious than it was two months ago. according lo the last of the sanitation experts sent by the North Carolina board of health to the flood districts, and who have just returned. These last men to re turn, J. E. Floyd, M. H. Melvin and B. F. Rowland, are all from the staff of sanitary inspectors maintained by the board. While in some sections of the flood area, the waters have receded suf ficiently to permit some of the refugees to return to their homes or the places where their homes were and try to put in such crops ns would still have time to mature, conditions have been very discouraging, according to Floyd, Who has been in Mississippi. “About six weeks ago some of the people started to go home, and some were able to get some cotton planted. Most of them had to wade in the mud and plant the seed by hand. But the mud was rich and the seed ger minated rapidly, so that within a few weeks a good stand of cotton was had," said Floyd. "Then came the regular spring rise, always due about the first of June, owing to the melting of snow and ice in the northwest. The rivers have risen again, old breaks flooded, and much of this cotton is now again un der watfr, with the farmers forced to return to the refugee camps agaiu.” But much of the land in the flood area has been rendered entirely unfit for any future cultivation by deposits of white sand that cover it to depths ranging from several inches to several feet, according to Dr. J. H. Taylor, •who has been over much of the flood area. Thousands of acres of land have been made uißiliable .'by these deposits of sand, or covered with trash and mud. Numerous lakes or bayous have been formed which never can be drained. Then the loss of live stock has *een tremendous, 15,000 drowned I* Rinse counties. Thus the problem of rehabilitation now becomes larger than the problem of sanitation and disease prevention which has about been solved. Clothes of Cornstalk Fiber Are Pre dicted. Des Moines, lowa, June 21.—A day when men and women will wear clothing of a silky cloth made of cornstalk fiber was depicted by Dr. O. It. Sweeney, chief chemist of lowa State College, in an address before the lowa Bankers Association here. “The expert says the day will come when this country will consume a billion pounds of this silk fiber a year,” tie declared. Dr.- Sweeney exhibited samples of fabric, paper and lumber substitutes that had been made from cornstalks, and asserted that when manufacturing was on a larger scale farmers could realize a neat profit from heretofore almost valueless refuse, provided they controlled the manufacturing. He es timated that a 100-acre field would yield euough stalks to net a profit of $5,000. . THE STOCK MARKET Reported by Fenner & Beane. (Quotations at 1:30 P. M.)

GOVERNOR CALLS TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS Directors of Farm Colony and Gettys burg Memorial Commission to Meet at Capital. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel By J. C. BAHKERVILL Raleigh, June 24.—Two meetings of unusual interest and importance to the people of the state have been called by Governor A. W. McLean to meet in his office the last of this month, June 28th and 20th. The first meet ing of the newly appointed board of directors of the Farm Coloney for Women will meet with the governor on June 28th and oil June 20th the mebmers of the Gettysburg memorial i commission will convene to discuss the preliminary plans for the memorial. Whether or not the board of Farm 1 Colony for Women will decided upon 1 the location of this rural detention colony for women offenders is not known, but it is believed that the lo- 1 cation will at any rate be discussed. The bill which carried an appropria- ,i tion of SOO,OOO for this colony, also 1 provides that the colony must be lo cated on land already owned by the 1 State. ‘ "But the State owns landß in all parts of the state," Governor Me- 1 Lean said with an engimatie smile when asked in what section of tbe state he thought the colony would be located. Despite the fact that the governor ’ would give no intimation of just where the colony would be located, it is generally believed that it will be in either the western or central part of the state, due to the general be lief in many quarters that n sufficient uumber of State instituttions are al ready located in the eastern section. 1 Because of the various factors in- 1 volved, it is believed utterly unlikely i that the fqrm colony for women would be established on any part of any ex- c isting prison farm, which automatical ly eliminates the eastern part of the state. It has been suggested, how- 1 ever, that the prison farm might be established on land contiguous to the Samarcand Manor school for delin quent girls who are under 16 years of age, since tbe farm colony will be for women offenders who are mere' Ihati 16? and beyond 'fiie Smnartatfd age limit. TWO MORE NEGROES ARE UNDER GUARD Were Taken From FI-eight Trains and Will Be Questioned In Kincaid Case. Morganton, June 24. —C4>) —Two ad ditional suspects have been taken off freight trains at noon today by mem- j bers of the Hickory National Guard i troops, and are being held in jail here awaiting identification by Burke Oouut.v officers who have followed otli- j er clues out of town in the wide search being conducted for Broad us Miller, negro slayer of Gladys Kin caid. Although ho show of resentment has been evidenced against the two ne groes being held, a detail from the two national guard companies here lias been stationed at tbe jail as a precautionary measure. A cal! came from Adako, near Table' Rock, in Burke County, about 12:36 o’clock today, saying that a suspect had been seen in that section. Blood hounds were taken to the scene of the Adako rumor.

London, June 24.—1 n these times of amazing voyages and explorations it is interesting to fecall that today is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir John Ross, the famous Arctic navigator who commanded the first expedition sent to search for a North west Passage. Ross, who had dis tinguished himself as a naval officer in the wars with the French and Spaniards in the early part of the century, set forth on his first voyage to the Arctic in 1818. He passed through Baffin Land to Lancaster Sound, where he imagined he saw a harrier of mountain interposed, and he returned home. Ten years later he renewed the enterprise in the Vic tory. Hie party passed about four years of privation and peril in the Arctic seas after abandoning their ship. They were finally rescued by a whaling vessel and returned to Eng land in 1833. On this trip Captain Ross discovered a point he believed to be the North Magnetic Pole. Flies Part Way Home Hearing Child is Dead.

Harvell. who is said by Cabarrus county officers ns also being known as Harwell and Roy (’. Caldwell, was arrested in Albemarle early this morn ing and was brought to Concord later by Carl Honeycutt, deputy sheriff. Secrecy surrounds tlic man held in jail and county officers would not al low him to be interviewed by re porters or to allow an attorney to talk with him. An attorney at Albemarle is said to have told Harvell, follow ing his arrest iu that city, not to make a statement of any kind.

He is said to have told officers that lie served about eight [years of hi* sentence. Harvell was sentenced to the prison for a period of fifteen years on the charge of house breaking at night. Sheriff R. V. Cald well, Jr., said he had been advised. The man will be questioned either late this afternoon or early Saturday morning by Cabarrus county officers. The officers would not state definitely what they will question him about but suggested that there was u probability of churges being placed against him in this county. Harvell is said to have come to Concord about ten days before the body of his mother, with a piece of wire around, her neck, was fpuud hang ing in a wood shell. He said follow ing tlie finding of her body that be saw it in tlie shed when lie went out on the back porch about 5:30 in tbe morning preparing to go to Work.

Gave Another Demonstration of Re cuperative Powers During Trading Today. New York, June 24.—(A s )—The stock market gave another good demonstration of recuperative power today after yesterday’s late break, but trading turned dull on the rally.

June 24.—Are the State-’s franchises to motor bus operators binding agreements or can they be eet aside at the will of the State Cor poration Commission and be turned over to railroads to operate their own bus lines? This is the question which is being presented to the State Corporation Commission today in the hearing being held on the petition of the Seaboard Air Line railroad for permission to ( operate a bus service from Ruther fordton, its western terminus, into Asheville, and thus enable it to sell through tickets from New York, Flor ida and intervening points on its main line to Asheville. But the question at stake is gen erally conceded as being one of real sngnificance, involving the sacredness of the contract which the State has made with the holders of its bus fran chises. The further question is also involved of whether or not the rail roads should be granted the right to operate their service, even though by bus. over the highways of the state and built by the people of the state, and in competition with franchise holders. The bus operators—nnd there are many in sympathy with their view— hold that their franchises are inviolate, and tbnt no franchises should be grant ed any railroads to operate independ ent bus lines over the same routes on which regular bus lines are now operating. They hold that tlie Cor poration Commission would not ap prove the construction of a second short line railroad that would parallel another short line railroad, and serve no new territory, and impose double expense upon the territory served. Then why should two bus lines be permitted to operate where only one is needed? Thus it is held that any railroads desiring to establish auxiliary bus ser- GENERAL WOODS IS PRESIDENT’S GUEST Resting at Summer White House From Long Trip Which Plainly Affected Him. Rapid City, S.

' But the railroads want to have their own way or they will not play at all, according to Gen. Albert L. Cox. coun sel for the bus lines at today’s hear ing. General Cox stated that the ex isting bus line oprating between Uutherfordton and Asheville lias at tempted to eo-operate with the Sea board in every way possible; that it has offered to meet all trains and has virtually offered to permit the Seaboard to fix its rates. But the Seaboard has declined to ac cept any of theße offers, and now in sists that permission be granted it to oprate its own, indepndent bus line from Rutherfordton to Asheville— some 60 miles. If the roads were willing to co operate and enter into an agreement with existing bus lines that would be the simplest way out of the situation, according to General Cox. But this the railroads refuse to do. The railroads, however, insist that whereas the bus lines have takeu away the bulk of their local short-haul pas senger traffic, that they must now es tablish lines of their own in order to continue to operate their passenger trains. But the bus lines come back with the rejoinder that now that they have done the pioneer work and gotten the lines established and a few of them oil a paying basis, the railroads now wish to step in and take these lines for themselves. So it ean be seen that the Cor pration Commission has something of a problem to untangle, and a ques tion of imprtance to decide. Es pecially is this true in view of the claim generally made that the com mission generally decides in favor of the railroads and big corporations. The final decision will thus be in terestedly awaited in all sections of the state. JONES LEAVES ATLANTA FOR GOLR TOURNEY Goin| to Scotland to Play in British Opn Golf Championship. Atlanta.

CANCER KILLS ONE IN EVERY TEN ADULTS Public Officials Scored by Doctor for Indifference. Norfolk, Mass., June 24. —Scoring public officials and health authorities for their attitude toward the cancer menace. Dr. George P. Soper, man aging director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, outlined the purpses of the new State of Massachursetts Hospital for Cancer Patients at the official opning of the hospital here today. In so doing he introduced statistics to show that one death in ten among grown prsons is due to this disease, and that the re sultant economic loss amounts to more than $1,125,000,000 annually. “From Estimates based on the latest returns of the .United Statics Census we learn that more than 103,000 pr sons die very year of cancer and 300,- 000 are continually suffering from it,” Dr. Sopr said. “The departments of health in our various States take little or no notice of the disense be yond the publication of routine statis tics and occasional pmphlets forgen eral distribution. The usual attitude of official public health agencies is that money can he spilt in other direction's more profitably. Boards of Health do little 'because they do not know what to do.” i State Tax Man To Be in City. \ E. J.
