New Method of Cutting Steel.

A new method of cutting steel is
said to have been patented by Bel
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means of
an oxyhydrogen fame and then cut
ting it by a small stream of oxygen
gas, which unites with the steel and
forms a fusible oxide, which flows
freely from the cut. 1t is said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that
made by the saw, and is only HOO
inch wide

BLOODY BATTLE
NEAR SOUTHPORT
ONE WHITE MAN AND TWO
NEGROES ARE SHOT AND
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
Officers Attempting to Serve Papers
Fired Upon, G. Green
Being Hurt.

In a fight between officers and
negroes near Southport Saturday, a
young farmer named Grill Green was
shot in the right arm and the muscle
was so badly torn that he will rrcba-
bly, lose the arm, negro named Rob
ert Brown was shot through the hand,
and another negro named Tive Bufcrd
had one eye shot out. The shooting
occurred at Weneezer a phosphate
camp.
Deputy Sheriff Nick Swan had two
states warrants to serve on two ne
groes, and deputized young Green
to assist him in making the arrests.
The two officers went to the house
where the negroes they were looking
for we're supposed to be located. They
peeped through crack and saw four
negroes shooting craps. About that
time two white boys approached the
house and entered. The negroes tried
to get the boys to participate in the
game, but they refused and in few
minutes left One of the negroes re-
marked that some officer had sent the
boys TO spy on them and that he would
kill the first officer who entered the
door. Making this statement he arose
and got a double barrel shotgun and /
laid it across his lap.
Oficer Swan then pushed the door
open. and stepped to one side. Green
stood Immediately in front OF the
door. and as the negro fired, received
the load In his arm above the elbow
Both officers then began firing their
pistols into the house and in a few
minutes the negroes surrendered. The
negro who was shot in the eye, had
been struck by small shot from the
gun. The negro shot in the hand was
evidently the same negro who handled
the gun, as the gun grip was covered

national Cotton Spinners' Association
of Europe. called the speculative end
of the business a curse, and hopes to
see 1t eliminated. Speaking OF the
work of Congress and its aim, Mr..
NIAGARA admitted, with qualifications,
that European mills have sold their
product an average of nine months
ahead on the basis OF raw cotton at Is
cents per pound. while the present
market is under IL cents. This, he
admitted, is a large profit, but, he
said, Is not excessive when II is con.
sidered that there are years when the
mills are operated at a loss. Mr..
NIAGARA said he hoped as a result OF
this and succeeding Congresses that
the American cotton planters will
learn. first, that they have growing
competition, and then that their fu-
ture supremacy lies In economies Of
the production. and unless they do,
foreign consumption will decrease
each year. He said the time when
the grower will sell direct to the man.

the growers can so organize as to do

WASHINGTON. Oct. s.-Imnigra-

creasing at so alarming . rate that it
has been determined by the Govern

70 prevent the Introduction into the
limited States, not only Of Japanese,
Int of other Asiatic coolie laborers.
One result of the trip Of Secretary
straus. of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, along the Canadian
border and the Pacific coast has been
an increase of the force of immigra-
ton inspectors along the Canadian
border with a view to conrtol, If posi-

into America.
The official figures Of the immigra-
ton of Japanese into America are not

declines at this time to make them
public; but 1t is known that more than
double the number of japanese have

ment do not include the hundreds of

can borders practically without him
drance, despite the regulations adop-
ted by the Government on the intro

The Government Of Japan does not
issue passports to laborers for Ameri-
ca. 1t does, however, issue passports
to them for the Hawaiian Islands and
Canada. Once in the Hawaiian Is
lands they take passage either to Mex
leo or Canada and make their way
across the border into this country.
They take train, for instance, from
Mexico to Canada, through the United
States. The railroads are not bonded,
as they are in the case OF Chinese
passengers, to deliver them at speci-
fed point, and the result is that the
Japanese leave the train at any point
in the United States they may choose.
