STILL-BfRI) ROW
TO STATE GOORT
Principals in Fight on Senate
Floor Are Bound Over by
Recorder Broyles.
Luther H. Still, president of the At
lanta Typographical union, and Thomas
1 Lyon, secretary of the Byrd Print
(ne Company, were bound over to the
state courts by Recorder Broyles to
dav. as a result of the fight ten days
ago in the senate chamber In the state
capitol. growing out of charges made
hy Still before the printing commit
tP p of the senate against the Byrd
Printing Company. The eases of
Charles P. Byrd and Frank J. Cohen,
who were accused of complicity in the
fight, were dismissed.
Still was bouhd over in bond of S2OO
on two charges—carrying a concealed
weapon and assault. Lyon was com
mitted for assault, and battery and his
bond fixed at SIOO.
Th® concealed weapon was a pair of
metal knucks. which Still admitted he
carried in his porket to the commit
tee hearing as a matter of -'self-protec
tion " He said he had expected to be
attacked by the "Byrd crowd” and had
been advised not to go to the capitol
unarmed.
Lyon Says He Struck Still.
Lyon admitted that he struck Still
three times in the head with the
knucks, after he had struck Still sev
eral blows in the face with his fist
and Still had dropped the knucks and
ran. He denied that he was armed
with metal knucks. He said Still tried
to strike him with the knucks before
dropping them.
The assault charge against the la
bor leader grows out of the altercation
between he and Byrd just prior to the
clash with Lyon.
Testimony was offered to show that
Still struck at Byrd with the metal
knucks, and that Lyon called to Byrd
to "look out, he's got brass knucks." Still
denied this. The evidence showed that
he and Byrd struck at each other, but
that all of the blows fell short. It was
then that Still and Lyon fought. Still
Insisted that both Byrd and Lyon at
tacked him. Lyon asserted, however,
that Still turned on him when he warn
ed Byrd of the knucks.
The special senate committee, which
Investigated the trouble a few days
age decided, after hearing most of the
evidence, that it had no jurisdiction and
took no action, on the ground that the
senate was not in session at the' time
of the fight.
Senator a Witness,
That the police court hearing will
not end the matter in the courts was
■indicated at the opening of the trial
by Attorney Frank Hughes, counsel for
Still, when he declared that he intend
ed to institute further criminal pro
■eedings against Byrd. Lyon and Cohen,
•egardless of the result of this trial.
In addition to the four principals,
the story of the fight was told to Judge.
Broyles by Secretary of State Philip
'ook Senator O. A. Moore. J. W. Mead,
i reporter for The Constitution, and W.
0. Foote, the printer.
Following the testimony, the case was
argued at. length by Attorney Robert
B. Blackburn, counsel for Byrd. Lyon
and Cohen, and Attorney Hughes for
Still.

ROME ELKS’ CASE
CAUSES CLUB BILL
Judge Fite Would Prohibit
Court Officers Belonging to
Locker Organizations.
A more or less innocent bill, so far
as surface indications are concerned,
was introduced in the house today,
which has behind it an interesting
story.
The bill is one by Messrs. Calhoun
and Johnson, of Bartow, and it pro
vides that it shall be unlawful for any
official whose duty it is to construe
or enforce the prohibition laws, or
cause the same to be done, to be a
member of any locker club or other
society or association that sells direct
ly or indirectly any intoxicating liquor
to any of its members or any other per
sons. under penalty provided for mis
demeanors.
This bill was introduced at the re
quest of Judge A. W. Fite, of the
Cherokee circuit, and bears directly on
a falldown of court procedure in the
Rome circuit so ne five or six months
ago. in the court of Judge John W.
Maddox. #
The Law and Order league of Rome
at that time sought to enjoin the Elks
club of Rome from operating an alleged
unlawful locker club.
The injunction was presented to
Judge Maddox, who disqualified him
self upon the plea that his son was a
member of the club.
The solicitor general. John W. Bale,
also disqualified himself on the ground
that he was a member of the club.
The consequent collapse of the move
against the Elks locker club in Rome,
through these circumstances, caused a
nine-day sensation in the Hill City.
The injunction proceeding never has
been renewed.
This situation was referred to by
Representative Alexander in his speech
on the Tippins bill last week, and the
bill introduced today by request of
Judge Fite is an outcome of that ad
dress.

IRREGULAR CLOSE
TO COTTON TRADE
Heavy Liquidation Upsets aMr
ket After Bullish Crop Report
Had Advanced Prices.
\ oRK. July 19. -Reports of gen
eral rains over the belt caused the
cotton market tn open barely steadv.
with a decrease of 5 to 8 points today.
‘I 118 weather report had a weakening
effect in Liverpool, as well as in New
1 ork. However, traders who frequenth
act for spot interests were good buyers
of October and succeeded in checking the
decrease.
Continued reports of deterioration in
the eastern belt combined with wires from
Alabama and Georgia saying the army
worm is doing great damage. These re
ports caused renewed buying by large spot
interest as well as commission houses
who absorbed all offerings. This heavy
buying had carried prices at noon on an
upward movement with a gain of 7 to 17
points from the first quotations. It is
believed that the short interest has been
reduced to a great extent. However, it
is still thought tha» there are a few large
short lines in the market.
At the close the market was steady with
prices ranging from unchanged to 1 poijit
better to 1 to 2 points lower than the final
quotations of Thursday.

NEW YORK. July 19. Accumulation of
Amalgamated Copper and Erie preferred
which caused these issues to advance 1
point was the event of chief interest at
the opening of the stock market today.
A number «vs issues opened with fractional
losses, which gave the list the appearance
of irregularity. The recessions here were
caused by heaviness In Americans in Lon-w
don rather than by selling in the New
York market.
United States Steel common' after open

opened up, but later gained ' 4 addition
al. Union Pacific made a similar gain.
Fractional gains were made in General

covered this loss within the next few
moments and a similar movement occur
red in Utah Copper.
At the end of 15 minutes the tone was
generally stronger. Canadian Pacific,
which was heavy in London, was lower
here at the offset.
The curb was steady. Americans in
London were narrow, although coppers
there were firm.
Strength was shown In many issues in
the late forenoon. Amalgamated Copper
and Union Pacific were prominent, ad
vancing more than a point each. Scarcity
of stocks and faYorable crop conditions
were important factors in determining
the market'tone.
Further advances were made in the late
.afternon trading with buying taking <>n
more aggressive character. A number of
stocks sold at rhe highest prices so far
this month. Most of the interest was at
tached to trading in St. Paul, which sold

''HIUAGg. .Ihly 19. Wheat opened It
I® 2%c higher today on a confirmed re
port of the cloying of the Dardanelle?
and the renewal of hostilities between
Italy and Turkey Liverpool and the
smaller markets abroad were all sensa
tionally higher, Argentine shipments
were heavy, and there was a good de
crease in rhe amount on ocean passage
t'orn was %c to I%c better in sym
pathy with wheat, and oats were %e to
I%c higher.
Provisions were higher all around with
higher hogs at th® yards and in sympa
thy with the advance in grain.
A spectacular advance and fall in the
price of wheat, caused wild excitement
at the board of trade today The price
advanced 2 cents, hovered about the
higher mark for a few minutes, and then
fell back to its former level. The spec
tacular fluctuation was ca.used bv the
closing of the Dardanelles as a result
of the Italian reverses in the Turkish
war. brokers here asserted.
July wheat opened at 96%. shot up to
98. hovered a. few minutes, and fell back
to 96% September shifted from 93% to
95% and then went back. December
jumped from 96 to 98. and then slumped
back again
The break after the advance was due to
a bear movement on the. part of brokers,
who believed the powers would intervene
in the. Dardanelles trouble.
Wheat closed with a strong tone today
and with prices ranging from 1 to 2c
higher than last night's close. Cash de
mand here was slow, but it was better
in the Southwest markets. There was a
sensational bulge early on politi
cal troubles between Italy and Turkey
There was considerable realizing and
short covering on the upturn.
Corn closed % to Ic better. The mar
ket was almost as flighty as wheat and
followed that cereal closely in Its changes
Oats were firmer and the tone was
steady in contrast with the nervousness
in the other pits.
Provisions were higher early, sold off
under liquidation and rallied later on
strengthening grains.
