BREEZE WAS ON THE
 STAND FOUR DAYS
MAN CHARGED WITH TAKING s114r
 900 FROM AsHEvlLLE BANK WHILE PRESIDENT IS TURNED OVER FOR cRoss-ExAMlNATloN.

Charlotte, N. C., July 25.-After being on the stand for direct examination for four days, William E. Breeze, under the charge of taking $114000 from the First National bank of Asheville, while us president, was turned over to District Attorney Holton for ross-examination today at noon. When asked concerning several of the transactions concerning hls indebtedness to the bank, the witness re- piled that he did not remember.
 During his connection with the bank, the witness said the total amount of his in- come was s49.0OO. It was understood and agreed that money he deposited in the bank should be subject to check. At this junetnre Judge Keller remarked; You mean to say that you had an agreement with your board of directors whereby no money you deposited was to go to reducing your indebtednessT'
 "No. not exactly that far" replied the witness. "but we had to live"
 The district attorney attempted to draw from the witness an admission that the bank was insolvent by reason of the fact that the combined over-drafts of the president and cashier were in excess of the capital stock, but Breeze contended that the bank was solvent and perfectly able to meet all obligations.
 When MT. Holton asked why certain notes were good, the witness replied; Because 1 was behind them"
 Did you not testify that the failure of the bank left you without a dolar?' asked the attorney.
 T did replied the witness.
 Then you were no better than Mir Kemp or any of the others who signed these notes." (Kemp was the colored car riage driver whose signature was at tached to several notes).
 The district attorney had hardly con- euded his remark, before the five attor. neys for Breeze were on their feet pro. testing against the manner of the cross. examination of the district attorney The court stated that such questions were oui of order.
 J. s. Adams of counsel for the defense arose and said:
 May 1t please your honor, I think fl would quiet the nerves of the witness fl the court could assure him that he is safe from any personal violence at the hands of the district attorney"
 With smile Judge Kellar stated that he was sure that the defendant was in nc danger.
 Attorneys on both sides agreed In court that the trial would be concluded this week.

OECKHAND LOST HIS
 PRESENCE OF MIND
IF HE HAD REMAINED COOL THE SLOCUM DISASTER WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED-MANY WIT MISSES TESTIFY.

New York. July 25.-The disaster to the excursion steamer General Slocum. in which nearly a thousand lives were lost. never would have occurred if one of the deckhands had retained his presence of mind, according to the opinion of Former Fire Marshal Thomas F. Freel. who tes- tifed today before the federal commis- sion, which Is making an inquiry into the disaster. MT. Freel said that a member of the steamers crew named Coakley tes- tiled before thSSoroner that he saw the smother it with. He picked up q bag of charcoal and threw 1t at the barrel, knocking 1t over and spreading the fire. He then ran to get the fire hose, leaving the door to the stairway open.
 That was all that the fire wanted-a little aid-and it spread" said MT Free1.
 If the man had not lost his head he could have picked up the barrel and thrown 1t overheard. and the disaster would not have happened"
 Another witness, Mrs. Meda Witte who was on the Slocum when 1t burned, said that she and her nurse tried to launch A life boat when they heard the Slocum was on fire. but gave 1t up when they saw that one of the boards was out of the bottom of the boat
 It developed today in the hearing that Henry Lundberg, the Inspector who ex- amined the steamboat and pronounced her as having compiled with the require ments of the law, had been dropped from the roll of the department. Inspector General Uhler said Inspector Lundberg was on probation. Not long after the ac- cident, six months probation was over, and he simply was not recommended for re-appointment.
