BRENNER DID NOT
APPEAR IN COURT

c. @. Bremen. the man charged with
saying he wished Il had been eighty-four
instead OF four policemen killed in the
Pittsburg riot Saturday. was released
from police station Monday afternoon
upon s25.75 collateral He failed TO appear
IN court Tuesday when hts case was
called Recorder Broyles ordered the
case left open and the man win be brought
before the court II the officers can find
him
There were over thirty witnesses I'm
court Tuesday ready 20 testify fin the
case. Bremen worked for the Southern
Furniture company. and IL was there Sat
urday morning Immediately after the
PittsbUrg trouble that he Is alleged to
have made the remarks. The man had a
narrow escape from being roughly handled
BY the other factory employees. He is
said 20 have Immediately resigned. The
peculiar feature OF the case IS that Bren-
ner was a neighbor OF Policeman Grant
one OF the murdered officers. The man
declared at police headquarters Monday
that ne regretted every one OF the deaths
especially that OF Grant. He denied en-
phafically the remarks attributed 10 him.
he claimed he said. before he even knew
the nature or extent OF the Pittsburg
trouble. that he liked 20 hear OF a fight.
The charge on the police docket against
Bremen was dfsorderly conduct.

murphy a Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, May 2L-Weather in the cotton
belt today was perfect In every section, the
only station near the cotton belt reporting rain
being Chattanooga. Moreover the temperature
was high enough and the absence of rain re-
ports left the bull element without opportunity
for calling attention to alleged excessive mots-
ture Nevertheless cables were quite bullish
when we opened and the market here advanced
to points. Continental buying at Liver
pool was reported and New York rose to 10
points during the first hour, with bulls In full
control for while, when profit taking for the
time being put an end to the upward trend.
Both sides were confident, but the bulls APP
peared to have the advantage, since Liverpool
closed pa TO advance. Nevertheless buyers
were not eager. The spot market is believed
by many to be the key TO the situation and
the willingness of mills to secure cotton is too
important to be ignored, despite fine weather
conditions. II is understood that New England
mills are paying 10Ac in Georgia for strict
middling and similar reports are at hand
from other sections. The receipts are quite
small everywhere, and while one side cons
tends that the low price has checked the move
ment, others contend that signs of exhaustion
are daily multiplying. A see-saw market is
probable until the bureau report is made pub
lie on June 3D. Indications were for showers
in the Carolinas and fair weather elsewhere.
Wall street interests appear again on the
bull side.

.LABORLEADERS
IN SESSION
TODAY
MANY REPORTS ARE BEING DIS
CUSSED BUT NO FINAL AC-
TON HAS BEEN TAKEN BY
THE COMMITTEES.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. May H.-The
three executive committees of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America today be-
gan their first formal session since the
great coal strike was inaugurated. This
was the same body that was organized
two weeks ago and decided on the sus-
pension. The object Of the meeting is to
go over the entire situation and outline
and adopt new lines of campaign that
may be found necessary.
The most important matter for constd-
Grafton is the proposition TO call out the
engineers, firemen and pump men. This
is looked upon by the mine workers offi-
cials as an. extreme measure and 1t Will
be carefully considered before the step
is taken. They do not care to antago-
nize the mine OWNERS any more than is
necessary. Some of the mine officials
still have hopes of an amicable settlement
and they do not think It wise to anger the
mine owners by withdrawing these men
and endangering the safety of their prop
erty. From a talk with several of the
committeeman, IT seems likely that the
protectors OF the mines will not be called
out for the present. If the miners union
declines TO call out the men and succeed
in getting them to quit, the mine owners
viii make every effort to fill their places.
1t is said that some of the operators, an
ticipating the union, have made all ar
rangements to keep their pumps at work
II the men desert them.
The committee win also consider the
alter of the calling out of the bitumi-
nous miners, but in the absence of the
petitions from two other districts neces-
sary to make up the five that are re-
ouired to call a special convention 1t is
believed no action will be taken. IT is
lust possible. however, that the petitions
may be received today. In that event.
President Mitchell will Immediately issue
the call for the convention.
There is a rumor current which cannot
be confirmed that the railroaders at q
meeting here decided to refuse to handle
bituminous coal destined for the anthra-
cite market. and IL necessary to cause a
general strike. President Mitchell salo
this morning that he knew nothing about
such a meeting. When asked whether
such a step had been seriously considered
bv him and the union railroad leaders, he
refused to discuss the question. There IS
reason TO believe that If the trafic In BIZ
luminous coal into anthracite territory
becomes heavy the railroadefs VIII en-
deavor TO stop II.
Reports received here by the Associated
Press from all parts of the coal helds
show that everything is quiet. Fist ngn.s
among idle men, which rumors are usual
ly exaggerated into riots are OF daily &C
currence, but beyond these trifiing DIS
putes. nothing has occurred TO STIR the
Community. President Mitchell said TINS
morning that he knew nothing OF the
meetings OF the operators in New YORK
nor of the movements of the civic feoera-
ton officials beyond what was pubhsneo
IN the morning papers.

KILLED HIMSELF AFTER -.@,
2 YEARS DELIBERATI0N

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May IA story
OF a suicide after two years elaboration
over the question OF self-destruction
comes from Laurinburg. n. c., the VIC
tim, a farmer named Alex Lytch, blowing
the top Of his head off with shotgun.
Lytch went TO Laurinburg Saturday, and
just before leaving for his home he pur-
chased a few gun shells loaded with No.
4 shot.
Upon arriving at home he ate dinner
as usual and then went out locked up his
barn and began TO get things In order.
After attending to these outside matters
he went to his, room and removed the
greater part OF his furniture. his trunk
and other articles, and then undressed
himself and sat on the bed. He then put
the muzzle OF the gun to his forehead and
with his toe pulled the trigger. When
found hts eyes and the entire front part
OF his head We're blown off.
This is the plausible theory as to how
the unfortunate man came to his death,
all of which was fully substantiated by a
note he left behind. In this note was a
TO think that the act was rash and
thoughtless. On the contrary, he said that
he had had the subject of self-destruction
under consideration for two years; that.
on account of his aged mother, he had
fought against IL and resisted 1t for these
long two years. but the time had come
when he could resist Il no longer. He also
stated the disposition he wished made OF
his watch. gun and other articles. speci-
fed the kind of clothes he wished TO be
buried IN and stated that he wanted his
funeral preached Sunday afternoon by
Rev. F.. NJ. Shamburger. of Rockingham,
who was formerly pastor or the Methodist
church here. In the light of these facts,
the coroner did not deem an inquest nee
essary.

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK. May 21-The cotton market
opened firm, two points higher to unchanged.
in response to Liverpool bullish cables and
very light receipts at all points in the belt.
The English market had been looked TO for an
advance Of ~ TO points but at the time

the call leading commission houses and room
bulls absorbed all offerings by the bear ele-
ment and Wall street interests and were in
turn supported by further steady advances in
the Liverpool market. Whereas July started
vanced to SGT. Trading at the higher prices
was very active and general with sentiment
alphabetically bullish. The private crop re-
ports were encouraging and weather state
ments from Washington indicated clear or
clearing conditions pretty much over the en-
kets were described frmer improved ex-
port and southern mill demand. An advance
of I'D. in silver in London, more peace rumors
from South Africa and reports that the King
cotton mills of the south were soon to re-
open. helped to strengthen the courage of local
friends OF cotton: There was larger demand
for the new crop months in the local ring than
noted at any period since speculation in those
positions started. 4

RUNS AMUCK IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, May 19.-Peter Lineman,
30 years old, a farm hand employed by
Charles Winner, near Greenvillage, has
wrecked three houses and nearly killed

fell, severely wounded. Lineman took up
