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.

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.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Broadening speculative interest based upon the growing conviction that the weather Is only one of the several strong features contributing to the advancing tendency being displayed by the market has resulted in considerably more ac tivity around the ring, and brokers are asking themselves the delightful question, “Has another bull campaign begun?" The July position is performing in a manner that recalls to mind the triumph of for mer bull leaders in the market, and the paucity of tenable grades, as well as the Insistent demand from both European and American spinners for good grades, has given the holders of October con tracts new ideas as to the real value of cotton to be“delivered during that month. ■ Continued rains in the central and east- I ern portions of the belt do not suggest I any unusually early supply of good i grade cotton, and if the statements made Iby exporters are to be credited, Texas I has sold a world of good grade cotton that will find its way to the spindles instead of to the contract market.

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. _R A NGE OF NEW YORK FUTURES. _ « • i? o «n 2 ZS.

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.
