RAY OF HOPE FOR
 COTTON WORKERS
ARBITRATION BOARD IS AT WORK AND MANUFACTURERS HAVE PROMISED I1 CAREFULLY CON- slDER DEMANDS OF UNION.

Fall River, July 22.-Through the good offices and prompt action of the state board of conciliation and arbitration there seems tonight to be a ray of hope for an amicable settlement of the controversy between the cotton mill manufacturers and their employees who on Wednesday night voted to go on strike next Mon day morning rather than submit to l21s per cent reduction in wages Such a strike would involve more than 900OO op- eratiyes.
 This afternoon the secretaries of the five unions and representatives of the mana gers met in conference with the arbitra- ton board. At the outset it was plain that both parties to the controversy were equally determined as to the merits of their respective cases. The representa- tives of the operatives told what they wanted briefy-the abandonment of the proposed wage reduction. The mill off, cfals. on the other hand. stated equally concisely why the reduction was necessa- ry from financial standpoint
 The arbitration board then conferred separately with each committee and later the two bodies met in joint conference again, and thrashed out the whole mat ter. This last meeting continued well into the evening. At it's conclusion President Rowland of the arbitration board said that the demands of the textile workers would be considered by all the manufac- turers at a meeting to be held at 1;S0 O clock tomorrow morning.

WIDOW OF BILL ME
 GOES ON THE STAND
Testlfies That She Entrusted All Her
 Property to Breeze and Lest It.

Charlotte, N. C., July 22.-Mrs. E. w. Nye, widow of the late humorist, who re- sides at Arden, N. C.. was on the wit ness stand in the Breeze trial today. Mrs. Nye told of entrusting her property and all the money she possessed, s75OO to the keeping of Breeze, and said she had lost it all. After the death of her husband she desired to take her children on trip to Europe. and before leaving Ashevllle she gave Breeze her papers and docu- ments and instructed him to invest her money.
 Mrs. Nye also said she owned property in New York which was left in charge of Breeze, and lost this also.
 Breeze testified that while 1t was true that he had charge of Mrs. Yves papers, he did not understand that he was author ized to act as her agent in disposing of her property. He collected the interest on her money when due, and passed it to her credit. When the bank failed he turned the paper over to his son, ". E. Breeze, Jr., as attorney and wrote Mrs Nye to this effect
 The witness denied that he drew Mrs. Yves money out of the bank, saying he could not have done so for the reason that he had no authority to sign her name to checks, He also denied knowledge of the loss of Mrs. Yves property in New York This property, he said, was pur- chased by Mr. Nye before his death, and was covered by a mortgage.
 The defendant will likely remain on the stand all day tomorrow, and another week probably will be consumed with the trial

.EXCURS|ON|STS
 ESCAPE DEATH. Steam Yacht Suddenly Bursts
 Into Flames VESSEL HEADED ID SHORE w. H. Nichols Yacht Runs Alongside and 15o Excited Passengers Are
 Transferred With Few
 Slight Injuries.
VESSEL HEADED TO SHORE

Clayton, N. Y. July 22.-rhe steam yacht Castanet of the Virgo line return ing from Kingston. Ont, this afternoon with 15O excursionists. caught fire in mid stream, and only by the most fortunate circumstances was an awful accident ayerted.
 The yacht was four miles from Kings ton, and half a mile from shore a stiff breeze blowing, and the passengers were enjoying the ride, when suddenly sheet ,d flame shot up through the hatchways. The passengers at once ran to the ends of the boat The flames swept up to the canvass awnings. and in moment these were ablaze While the passengers were Il ddled forward and aft, the engineer and fireman made their way through the mes from the engine room. The crew, er distributing life preservers to the pa ssengers, began to fight the blaze
 captain Barney Nunn headed the Cas- tai ct toward shore, and was followed by the steamer yacht Nokamis. belonging to W. H. Nichols of New York, which was a mile away when the flames broke out The burning boat was beaehed on Cedar island and in a moment the Nokamis was run behind her The passengers were transferred without the loss of a life and the fire was extinguished by the united efforts of both crews. Engineer Charles Wood and his son, the fireman, were both badly burned but will recover.
 The cause of the accident was an ex- plosion of gas in the hrebox, which threw the hot coals into the engine room and down the galleys.
