LARGE DEMAND FOR AMERICAN COTTON Cotton Market Is Shaping Itself Into Bull
 Affair

New York, November 1.-Speculation
 has been active and there are those who
 believe that the cotton market is shaping
 itself into an old fashioned bull affair
 The recent advance of $5 bale was pre-
 dicted on a big demand for the actual cot
 ton. Manipulation hA played very little
 part in it. It is true that 1t was assisted
 for time by the liquidation of Liverpool
 straddles which involved large purchases
 in New York. But in the main the source of the remarkable firmness which has lat
 terly characterized the market as the keen
 demand from home and foreign spinne's 5
 for the actual staple. At the same time
 there were some persistent reports rom
 the south to the effect that the better
 grades were comparatively scarce and
 that the basis of spot business had been
 higher than for some years past The
 october purchases to meet foreign engage
 ments have been very large and the faet
 that this crop is turning out to be of not much better quality than the last one has meant that there
 had been scramble to get the higher
 grades in filling october engagements.
 But aside from this there has been a
 world wide demand for American cotton despite the statements which were made some time ago that by reason of the in- creased crops this year in Egypt, India,
 Russia and China the European spinner
 was not likely to buy American cotton
 on anything like as large a scale as he
 did last year. The manner in which the collosal crop of last year of l6,2OOo0oO bales was handled marked new era in the worlds cotton business. The absorp- tive power of the worlds spinners waa never illustrated in a more striking way and there are those who believe that large
 as was the worlds consumption of Amer ican cotton last year. Il will be equalled if not exceeded in the present year. Shorts have covered freely. Southern onerators. also Wall street and western onerators have covered on a big scale. and the drift now is toward the long side, so much so that big long account IS now being accumulated. In such circum- stances a temporary reaction, it is argued, need occasion no surprise.
 Also crop accounts from Texas, Okla boma and the region west of the Missis- ] sinni river generally has been of fa- vora ble nature. If some Of the spot houses have latterly been buying Jan nary they sold later months. Some other spot houses maintain that the present advance is only temporary and they have | been steady sellers. Waldorf operators have sold to some extent, although this has been done mainly. it appears. in or l der to take profits. Some of that ele- ment are believed to have recently taken 1 the hull side even if some others are short. ] Meantime the receipts continue enormous and exports do not make very good
 showing as compared with those of last

ARE READ IN DYNAMITE TRIAL Claim Violence Began the Campaign of Ex-
 plOsi0ns'

Indianapolis, November 1.-Going back to the calling of the strike by the Iron Workers union against bridge constructors in 1905, the government at the dynamite conspiracy trial to- day read letters purporting to show that violence was the beginning of the campaign of explosions,' later carried on by the McNamaras. All of the 45 men now on trial, the government charges. are implicated by the letters.
 The first exhibit was letter writ ten by Frank Buchanan, then president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, to U. J. McNamara, saying: If a majority of the executive board approves, a strike should be ordered" strike was ordered against a bridge company which had sub-let contract to Bos- ton construction company, who em- ployed non- union men. In connection with this it was pointed out that an explosion occurred at Miller's Falls. Mass, in December 1905.
 MT Buchanan's letters were devoted to the unions business in directing the strike letter from MeNamara to Frank NJ Ryan, who succeeded Buch- anan, as read. referred to conditions in Toledo, O. McNamara said Buchanan had authorized a member named Me- Glory to "do some missionary work in Toledo" and that s150 was appropriated for the purpose McNamara said Me- Glory employed four men, of whom two were arrested for assault. and added that an attorney said If the men pleaded guilty they would be pa roled, but that after the men were convicted, the Central Labor union of Toledo adopted resolutions against members of the board of public service and parole could not be had. Mr. Namara said he had promised the men pay for the time they were in jail.
 A letter was read from John T. But Ter, Buffalo, vice president of the union, to McNamara about "a suggestion 1 would not care to put in writing" The government alleges the suggestion re- ferred to violence

 This representative from Birmingham will be asked to bring back with him an expert from one of the northern cities to deliver addresses here on the subject and make an investigation as to how the smoke nuisance should be handled in Bir- mingham
 MT. Matthews was present at the meet ing of the committee. yesterday and made very valuable talk on the subject City Commissioner Weatherly was to be pres ent, but was detained on other Business. It was stated by different members of the committee that the switch engines running about In the heart of the city were one of the biggest factors in the smoke nuisance. It was suggested that these could either burn coke or else do light firing, both of which methods are being practiced elsewhere. It was stated that screens in the fiues of these engines would also stop lots of the soot chunks that are emitted to float over the city.
 Secretary W. C. Ratliffe stated yester- day that the chamber would take up cor respondence with other chambers in re- gard to this matter, asking them for data on how they handled the smoke nuisance and with what success their efforts met.

WOOD FELT HIS LIFE WAS BEING SOUGHT. Feared Oakley Intended to
 Kilf Him GOVERNOR INCENSED
Probably Nothing Has Ever Happened in Montgomery te Cause Such
 ConsternatiOn-Tria Will Be as Speedy as Possible

Montgomery. November 1--(Special)- Heads of departments and attaches at the state capitol have not yet recovered from the shock they received as the re- suit of the killing on yesterday of P. A. Wood of St. Clair county by W. G. Oakley of Bibb county which occurred In the office of President James G. Oak ley of the state convict board.
 Probably nothing that has ever hap pened in the history of Montgomery has been more freely commented upon than the awful tragedy enacted within speak ing distance of the governors office. The fact that the crime was committed with in the sacred confines of the capitol, just across the hall from the office of the chief executive of Alabama, and just short distance to the rear of the su- preme court room, has lent a most hor- rible aspect to the tragedy and, apart from the seriousness of tic crime, the affair is considered as a deseeration of the capitol and an affront and insult to the states official family.
 Another feature of the crime that has been freely commented upon is the fact
 
 of several persons in the room. had plead for protection from Oakley during the entire day. It Is said that Wood had declared it as his belief that Oakley in- tended to kill him. and that throughout the day the deceased had seemed con- seious of his danger
 The dreadful affair has hung like a pail over the historic capitol building since its occurrence on Thursday after noon and officials and attaches of the state building have been unable to shake off the morbid effects of the terrible tragedy.
 It is probable that Oakley will be tried within the earliest possible time. The grand jury will reassemble next week, and it is more than probable that that inquisitorial body will investigate the killing.
 Officials at the capitol, including the governor, have expressed the hope that the case be tried as quickly as possible
 Governor ONeal has instructed Solicit tor Temple Seibels to secure a speedy trial of the case, having written to the county solicitor shortly after the killing occurred. The governor is highly incensed over the killing and announced today that he wants the trial to take place at the earliest possible moment

 T did not
 Were you surprised to get the money so easily in bank where you were not known?"

 What security did you giveT'
 q gave my note and deposited the stock of the new company with the bank"
 Did you confer with anybody wnen you were managing the company"

Anniston, November 1.-(Special.) )-Ev- cry available seat in the auditorium, the door spaces and a large part of the lobby and railways were crowded when the case of John Rowland, the former Cal houn county deputy sheriff. charged with the murder of Pidd Rutledge at Jack sonville last spring, was called in the city court of Anniston Friday morning.
 Mr. Rowland was a candidate for sheriff at the last county election for this office and he received a complimentary vote, He is one of the most popular men m the county and marked interest centers in the trial of his case. An unusual fea- ture about the large crowd that tfironged the courtroom was the fact that there was not a single negro in the audience
 Five we'll known attorneys have been engaged in the case on one side or the other. including Solicitor Tunstall. who IS being assisted in the prosecution by E. D. Willett of this city and former Solicitor w. J. Boykin of Gadsden. w. P. Acker and Mel P. Sterne are representing the defendant. Out of the 56 men summoned the jury of 12. including we'll known cit izens, was selected.
 Every inch of ground in the case is be- ing stpbbornly fought and that a legal battle of unusual interest will be waged in the case is already forecasted. The testimony promises to be very conflicting and the jury is confronted with dffi- 7 cult problem in getting at the truth.
 A. P. Johnson.s an undertaken and fur niture man of Jacksonville. was the first witness to take the stand. The blood stained clothing said to have been worn by the deceased before the shooting and when he was killed was brought into the court room and this was identified by MT. Johnson.
 The next witness on the stand was D.. c Goodlett, who was also candidate for sheriff and former sheriff at the last shrevialty election He gave testi- rnony as to the physical evidence in tho case, the topography of the court square. where the killing occurred, and other de- tails. He said he saw Rowland shoot Rut- ledge, who fell and expired before he, the witness, could reach him.
 The case promises to be long drawn out and it will likely be several days before 1t Is concluded.
 The state had not finished taking testi- rn9ny when court adjourned for the day Friday evening Besides witnesses D. z. Goodlett and A. P. Johnson those testify ing Friday afternoon were Dr. John F. Rowan D. J. Privett, Dr. C. C., Arbery, IL H. Montgomery, Tom owens, Tom Reynolds B. H. Denmah. D. P. Sewell, J W.
