Osition OF +. L. Underwood. of No. 81
Nassau street, New York, who wishes To
combine 90 per cent or more of the south

before adjournment the mill men unani-
mously voted for a resolution declaring
the wisdom of the amalgamation Of their
interests; and a great majority OF spin
ners voted TO recommend that the pro-
pOsal Of Mr.. Underwood be favorably con-
sidered by the stockholders OF the south
ern yarn mills.
One objection offered against the trust
Is that the southern spinners will be out
OF work or Offices. II the combination is
effected the various Office rs of mills who
now receive good salaries will be re-
placed by cheap men while the manage

1T is like the touch of fire to powder.
I believe Underwood will carry his point.

economic condition and he already has the

DECLARES HE is SANE
AND WANTS TO BE TRIED

NEW YORK, April 23.-Claiming as his
right under the constitution trial by jury
for a murder committed nearly IS years
ago, Theodore Bung. once wealthy
druggist, has made before Judge Marean,
of the supreme court in Brooklyn, so
strong a plea for liberation from the
state hospital for the in. ane at Mattewan,
N. Y, that the judge has declared him
sane and committed him to the warden Of
the Tombs to await the trial for which he
asked.
Bung. who says he has been sane for
the last four years, was produced in court
by DR.. H. H. Allison, medical superinten-
dent of the asylum, in answer to writ
of habeas corpus Judge Marean had issued
to lawyers who had taken sufficient inter-
est in Bung to institute the proceedings
in his behalf.
Bung became insane in 1884 He suffered
from the delusion that a well known ac-
tress was trying to make him marry her,
and was following him from place to
place. He was then 81 years old.
Among Bungs friends was a druggist
whose name was Nockin. Bung became a
victim of the idea that Nockin was in
league with the actress and shot him to
death.
Bung was held responsible for the muir
der and indicted, but a sheriff's jury pro-
nounced him insane. Since tat time he
has been confined in the asylum.
Bung now, after IA years, has appeared
in court and presented such a strong plea
that the judge ordered a jury trial on the
old indictment.

CLASH WITH POLICE

suggestion was approved, headed a rush
for the plant of Johnson, Cowdin & Co.
The men at work were called out and the
strikers moved on to the esta blishment of
James Simpson & Co. That firm. fear
ing trouble, dismissed the men and closed
its doors. Robert Gaedes' works were
visited next and after that the Bamford
mill, where the first serious disorder
occurred, was surrounded. Windows were
smashed, chemicals spilled and considera-
bic damage done. The men at work in
the plant quickly quilted their places.
The mob stoned the two policemen and
when one of the latter arrested one of
the leaders they closed in around him
The officers swung their clubs and beat
their way out of the crowd. A striker
engaged Mr.. Geering, but was beaten of.
One of the patrolmen finally secured a
rifle and when he came out and faced the
crowd with it there was a general scat
tering. From GeeriRg's the strikers hur-
ried away toward the property of Knip-
scher and Mas, but that raid was check
ed by squad of police. Gerald Misteli, a
young striker hurled a rock at the police
and was placed under arrest. The crowd
tried to rescue him and to the number Of
several hundred followed the arresting
officers to the prison. bowling at them
At noon the men at work for the Geering
mill went out and the place closed down.
The strikers met at Riverside again at
1 o'clock in the afternoon to receive the
reports of the several shop committees
Nearly every one of the latter reported
that their particular shop would agree
to the wage concessions demanded if ali
the other shops would. The conservative
leaders strongly advised the strikers to
avoid violence and disavowed the at
tacks made on the mills during the morn
ing
