SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Physical Condition of Some of the
Riders is Very Pitiable.

New York, December S.-The con
dition of some of the riders in the
six day bicycle race was made plain
tonight when Calvin tainted from ex-
haustion and remained unconscious
for half an hour. AS Bardgett, Gal
wins partner relieved him at once the
team lost nothing. In spite OF Gal
wins condition it was announced that
he would be allowed to continued
riding.
Calvin collapsed for h second
time shortly before midnight and fell
from his wheel, bringing down Manus
Bedell, Barclay, Samson and Rettich.
Samson and Barclay turned sOmer-
saults in the air and lanoed in a heap
in a box where three men and a wo-
nina were sitting. Barclay vas knock
ed unconscious. The subjects of the
mishap were carried to their quarters.
Calvin was found to be SO weak that
the management refused to let him
and his partner Bardgett continue.
Bardgett cried bitterly when he heard
the decision. Manue Bedell was found
to be stunned by h upset, but no
bones were broken. Barclay had his
right leg badly wrenched, but it was
announced he will be able to ride.
Rettich was not hurt.

that we were determined to build that

on the giving Of a small personal bond
by the latter. The case has made q

ordered it docketed n allowed sixty
days time to file pleadings.
Judge Purnell passed upon three

referee showed that at the meeting
of creditors it was agreed to make
allowances of lump sums to the reT-
cree and the trustees. IN lieu Of their
fees under the statute. The judge
diSalloWed this, as a violation of the
law and directly against the order of
the Supreme court. and papers are
ordered returned to the referee for
reformation. The creditors also UNI
derstook themselves to fix the attor-
neys' fees. This Judge Purnell, in
sharp language disallowed, as an as
sumption on the part OF the creditors
of the prerogative of the judge, who
is the only person vested under the
bankruptcy act with discretion to al
low attorneys fees. He held tina
the court could not be inveighed into
n violation of law by the action of
creditors. He further ruled that
where there is al assignment under
the State law and a claim filed by the
trustees under such assignment thi:l
being allowed under the bankruptcy
act, no fees would be allowed to the
assignee or any other allowance made,
except for his actual expenses in pre-
serving the property and this must
be evidenced by proper vouchers.

FOR CHURCH UNITY
FOUR BRANCHES OF PRESBY-
Concessions Must be Made-South-
ern Church is Not Represented.

e York, December "a joint
committee of representatives of four
branches of the Presbyterian faith
met here today to discuss the question
OF church unity. in accordance with a
resolution passed by the general synod
of the Reformed Presbyterian church
at Philadelphia last year. Delegates
were present from the Presbyterian
Church, the United Presbyterians and
the two Reformed Presbyterian
churches.
The subject of union was brought
before the meeting in an informal IN
terchange Of views, followed by the
submission of a formal proposition
from the sets OF the Reformed Pres
byterian church, embracing ten dis
tinct items, regarding matters in which
concessions might be made by n -
lanother of the treating bodies. This
proposition was referred to the eXe-
%Icutlve committee, with instructions to
report tomorrow.
A letter was a stating that tre
body generally known as the Presby-
terian church south. had declined the
Invitation to TAX part in the confer
Ience. The letter was from the Rev.
Dr. w. A. Alexander, OF
Tenn. stated clerk of the southern
General Assembly. In his letter D..
Alexander, said:
1.-THE general assembly of the South

THE OUTBREAK AL BERKELEY.

That was a very unfortunate affair

We're forced to such proceedings IN or
der to enforce the law. They were not
driven to this taking of the law lntn
their own hands by the revolutionary
conduct of the parties assaulted. There
is no doubt the people had cause to be-
greatly exasperated at the action Of
the officials whom they attacked, but
there is nothing to show that the courts
were not open to them and ready and
competent to redress any wrongs done
and to punish the violators of the law.
This taking of the law into their own
hands by the people to right imagl-
airy wrong or even real ones Is a
dangerous proceeding. There are times
when conditions become such that the
people are justified in such course, but
it should be taken only in extreme
cases and when every other means had
been exhausted.
1t seems the attack of the people
against the county officials was be-

The cotton mill men of the state
down production. The idea may be the
correct one; but we cannot see how
this is going to remedy the evil. Those
mills which are we'll stocked up with
raw cotton would hardly wish to cur
tail their output. Those which are
short on cotton have got to buy at some
price to be much lower for several
months The price of cotton has been
advanced by the supply not being equal
to the demand. 1t strikes us that I'M
der the circumstances the most natural
thing would be for the price of the
manufactured article to keep c with
the rise il the cost Of the raw mate
rial. Such would be hard on the buy
ers, of course, but it is the natural
course OF trade. If it costs more to
manufacture a yard Of cloth now than
it did three months 6 that yard of
cloth ought to bring more money. But
the trouble is some of the factories have
sold their output ahead at a fixed price,
but they must suffer whether they re-
duce production or not. 1t is a serious
condition which confronts the southern
cotton mills. 1t is to be hoped hat
whatever action they take the mill op-
eratives will not be made to suffer.

\ hundred bales of cotton from West
Africa was sold in Liverpool a few days

from that section OF Africa and from
Egypt finds sale in Europe. but it can
not take the place of the product of the
southern states. Much cotton from
Egypt is brought to this country 1t is
used for special purposes. The south
need not fear competition from Africa
or India for many years to come
