Governor A. W. McLean of North Carolina arrived in the city late yesterday, (iovernor I;icliai of South Carolina was due this morning, and William (i. M? Ai'.oo, arrived at nine o'clock this morn ing. Haskell C. Davis, an exam'n^r for- the interstate Commerce Commission, arrived last nlgh! ?" conduct the hearing which is ex pected to last a week or ten days. More than 100 wttnosses have been summoned aud attorneys for railroads and various communi ties will be heard. The !\ & N. seeks to connect Its North Carolina and South Car olina divisions between Spartan burg and Gastonla and to extend its lines to Winston-Salem. Tho Southern Railway and Seaboard Air Line operating in the name general territory oppose it and in view of the fact that this is tho first test betwm-n electric and atetfm lines since the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion were extonded several years Igo, other steam lines have joined Jn the case. The states of North Carolina ' and South Carolina nnd a large number of communities have Joined in the case on the side of the electric company. Governor Angus W. McLean of North Carolina followed the South Carolina chief executive on the staud. Ho told the examiner he was actiiik in his official capacity and that he had no desire lo an tagonize tho railroads opposing the petition. ?The development In the section through which the electric line operates, th?- North Carolina Gov ernor said, "lias been phenome nal" and completion of the pro posed extension in this State will take traffic existing lines for a time but he forecast thut antici pated development in the territory soon would produce traffic that will more than counteract the loss. "We ii111 ht. not think in terms of the present," he nald. urging the examiner to visualize the needs of 2fi years hence, "when this continuing and abounding de rvolopinoiit will have had oppor tunity to go forward." He asked the examiner to tour the section which he said "offers perhapu greater opportunity for Industrial growth than any other section of the Cnited Stales." This growth, lie argued, will en able the Southern railway to con tinue its "expansion program" though the l\ & N. if permitted Would share in the benefits. Trior to the hearing of the two governors, L. K. Jeffries of the Southern counsel, said that he had been denied access to certain pa pers to which he said he was le gaily entitled. The examiner said he would rule on tills phase as testimony develops. Sam Illease, chairman of the South Carolina Railroad Commis sion, advocated the granting of the petition. He said the freight traf fic In South Carolina's I'hdmoiit section "already is great" and that that section "is undergoing sn Intensive development" which mskes Imperative the completion of the electric Jines so there will be a direct line from Winston-Sa lem to Greenwood, South Carollnu.

June 20.? (AD?Rx-i tension of the 5-6-3 principle of Naval strength to cruisers. de stroyers and submarine* of the United States. Great Britain and Japan was proposed today to the, Three-Power Naval Limitation! Conference by the American dele gation. j Opening the conference called i by President Coolldge. Ambassu idor Hugh Gibson, the chairman, proposed that cruisers be limited to tonnage of 250.000 or 300.000 tons for the United States and Great Britain and 150.000 or 180.000 Ions for Japan. Deatroyr total tonnage would be restricted to 200,000 or 250. 000 tons for the two larger pow ers and to 120.000 to 150.000 for Japan. Maximum tonnage for American and British submarines would be 60.000 to 90,0o0 tons with 36.000 to 54,000 tons fixed for Japan. Gibson presented his proposal after a brief address in which he presented an expression of grati tude to the powern from Presi dent Coolldge and declared that "the United States Is prepared to accept a general program provid ing for as low a total tonnage" ax acceptable to the other powers. He expressed regret that France and Italy were not active participants in the conference and urged Japan and Great Britain who with the United Stales are the powers "which now lead In naval armaments" to assume "all responsibility for Initiating furth er naval limitation." "If we are not prepared to limit," he said, "we could not expect others to do 80." France and Italy, while not ac tually taking part In the delibera tions. have obiervers on the scene. As the conference convened it was the general Impression that the American delegates would suggest maximum and minimum figures for total tonnages in the three classes of warships to bo discussed?auxiliary craft, de stroyers aud submarines?at the same time making it known that the United States was prepared to go ahead with an extensive war ship programme If no agreement was reached. Thus it was com mented, the real Intentions of the nations as regards naval strength1 would be drawn out and It would be learned whether it was the plan of the aea powers to engage in an unlimited competitive naval race. The Washington conference saw the origin of the now well known 5-5-3 ratio for capital ships and the American Idea In the present conference Is that this ratio should prevail in determ ining the strength of other war craft. No one would venture an opin ion as to how long the pourparlors would continue, except to say that they would end quickly if no pos sibility of an accord was seen, or might continue for nix weeks If all went smoothly.

Colorwl, wan charged with the theft of a quantity of merchandise from J. It. Flora ? Company, wholesale grocers, and with re ceiving stolen property, was the first action taken up in the crim inal t? rm of Superior Court, which opened Mniiday morning with JikIko Clayton Moor.', of William-* ton. on th<> bench. In tile* Robinson case, adjourn m??i?t for lunch was ordered hy the court after the State had rest i d and after Oeorge J. Spence and T. J. Markhain, -attorney for lie |defense, hud argued a motion tor dismissal on the ground that then was mi evidence that the nierctiau dise in question actually had bet n stolen. Judge Moore denied the : mot ion. A resume of the law as It bears upon the dulleH of a grand jur> constituted the hulk of Judg< j Moore's charge at the opening of I court. Kxcept that he called at tention to misapplication of funds I by guardians for minors as a fla grant and widespread violation of |the law in North Carolina, the court did not deal specifically with |any class of offenses. He remind ed the members of the grand Jury I that It was their duty to bring up any law violations In their respec tive communities, and act upon {thcin as circumstances might war i rant. j The court went directly Inio .trial of the Robinson case, with every prospect that the next ac II ion to he taken up would he a similar case against Harrison Per | ry, colored, former deliveryman ifor the Flora company. Petry was ' arrested .aftur Robinson had as serted K| police that he had sup plied the merchandise which led to Rohinsou's arrest on J.muary .25, Inst. Policeman ft. W. Rasnight. I he I first witness, told that Itnbinson, jshortly after his arrest, stated In [bis presence that the merchandise In question, which included quan j titles of butter. snuff. lard, sugar, soap, meat and cigarcttes. came j from Flora's, and that "it all came Ith?* same way." On cross examin ation, the officer staled that Itoh lnson did not specify how It came into his possession. i Policeman (Jeorge Twlddy, who arrested Itohinson. stated that hn .'found a caddy of snuff and a ten 'pound package of butler in the 'negro's truck at the time, ami that lie recovered other merchandise {from Albert Luton, South Road street groceryman. A search of Robinson's home brought the dls Jcovery of a -tin of lard and a I In :containing a quantity of sugar, lie said. Mr. Luton, the next witness, ex plained that lie first bought a quantity of cigarcttes from Rob inson In October, accepting them In good faith when the negro told liim he had found them. He said the package had the appearance |of having been run over by a ve hicle. Later, lie continued, when Robinson brought other merchan dise. he became auspicious and j entered Into an arrangement to .catch him. i S. H. Johnson, member of the Flora firm, identified containers of butter and snuff as having come from that store, but admit ted he could not say positively that they had been stolen. He admitted also on cross examina tion that he did not know whether they belonged to the Flora com pany when Robinson came into possession of them. On redirect examination, he stated that he had not sold Robinson anything. The members of the grand Jury j arc; C. C. Cartwrlght, foreman, and James K. Palmer, J. C. Palm-' er, L. S. Smith, J. P.

Aft* shaking hands with cab I in#r ministers and other officials, the party was driven around the field through dense crowds, the band meanwhile playing, the Am erican anthcrn. When a semblance of order was restored and a path triade for the machine some one stepped for ward and offered the fliers a ?teln of beer. It was the second great wel come of the day. for when they arrived at Munich from Berlin In the afternoon, all of Bavaria ap parently had turned out in their honor. The fact that their visit to Munich was delayed a week had no effect on the Bavarian enthus iasm. Here too, police could not keep back the crowds. Swarmed over the flying, they surged about the Columbia as It landed and surfounded the airmen before the welcoming commutes could greet them. Finally, how ever, the Americans were extri cated from the mass of humanity and taken to the city hall to be formally welcomed by the Lord Mayor, the Bavarian Ministry, sero club officials and the American Consul. They then stepped out on the balcony and the crowds in the street gave vent to their enthus iasm In sustained cheering. Cbamberlln and I^evlne flew from Berlin to Munich In less than rive hour*.
