Columbia, S. c., April 7.-Colone.
flames H. Tillman is expected to appear
i'm court tomorrow morning for the first
time, to answer for the killing of Mr..
[N. G. Gonzales. This is somewhat Of an
unexpected turn in the case. The gen.
|eral understanding has beer that the
case would be called for trial on Mon
day and that both sides would n
their readiness for trial to pro-
coed. Upon the expectation that the
trial would begin on next Monday, the
states witnesses have been summoned
for that time and all arrangements
have been made with that view.
The grand jury of the county having
returned a true bill against James H.
ITillman for the killing of Mr.. Gonzales.
this morning at the opening Of court,
Solicitor Thurmond, so as to comply
saw counsel for Colonel TElman In
court that he would suggest that the
arrangement of the prisoner take place
tomorrow. According to law the defense
can claim three days for preparation
after the arraignment and so that this
thine would not be claimed next week
Solicitor Thurmond made the ugges
ttiOn. AS a usual thing, the arraign-
Iment is waived. This morning Con-
lgressman George w. Croft suggested
that the arrangement be fixed for to-
morrow morning, upon the assembling
of the court. This was agreed to. The
request of ounse for a formal arraign-
loonnf on6 fyi0o a n 1011r u-.lS oonoTanV
regarded as indicative Of a purpose to
make a motion in connection with the
lease. When the hearing occurs in
the morning, counsel for Ti1lman may
announce that their client is
READY to go to trial at such time as
the court indicates " counsel may
make any one of severai motions, which
would be barred unless the arraign-
Fment be ordered.
The defense can tomorrow MAKE mo-
Ition to attack the validity of the draw
ing of the grand jury. It a make a
motion for a change of venire to some
Iother county. It can move to Quash

found or it can simply ask for i'm

ALMOST A RIOT.
The Police Prevent What Night
Have Resulted in Lawless Demon
StratiOn.

Lowell, Mass, April IA body of
police officers, marching in solid front
from curb to curb, drove a thousand
noisy Greek mill workers through the
streets of Lowell for nearly a mile to-
night and prevented what might have
developed into a riot, growing out Of
return to work of a number of ring
%spinners in the Lawrence Hosiery who
left work a week g in with
the strike order of the textile council.
Tonight's disturbance in front of the
gates of the Lawrence corporation was
the first breach of the peace since s1A
of the seven big mills ordered by the
textile council shout down, throwing
approximately 1000 persons into idle
ness. The police realize hat it was a
narrow escape from a serious las be-
tween strike sympathiZerS and them
selves when the orders were given to
the officers to their night walks. The
crowd fell back and the danger was
passed for the time being. A woman
figured prominently in tonight's de-
monstration and she essayed a role
somewhat after the manner of Joan of
Are, leading a great body of men
through the streets TO the point where
the police were encountered. ConfuS-
ion then came and the unknown wo-
man was lost in the crowd.
Today was the Greeks national holi-
day, the anniversary of the Greek Fed
Grafton, and in the colony was cele
brated in a lively way. The trouble
had it's inception in an attempt of tho
Greeks to hold a a meeting in tha
heart of the colony. The police stopped
this. Then the Greeks went to the
south common where the mass meeting
was held. From the same spot as
President Roosevelt addressed an i'm
mense throng last summer, Greek ora
tors urged the men around them to
keep up a stiff fight for the ten per
cent. increase

Portugal was not ready to add to her

either Besides, King Louis had patriotic
scrrrles. AS a Portuguese he refused to
be crowned In Madrid.
IF Don Carlos assumes the crown of
Spain the two kingdoms viii be CONSOLE
