Without offering any testimony
at his preliminary hearing which
began yesterday before Magistrate
Pitts, Means, through his coun-
sci, late today consented to be
bound over TO the higher court
The magistrate attached to the
remanding order statement by
Means counsel that their consent
was predicated upon two facts:
That they could not present a
proper defense without possession
Of certain papers seized in a raid
on Means New York apartment.
and that they had been informed
that New York officials here had
brought extradition warrants to
take their client back to New
York on some undisclosed GRIMM
al charge.
Unsuccessful attempts to get
legal possession of the papers were
made by some of Means counsel.
while others argued before Mag
istrate Pitts for the dismissal OF
the prisoner on the ground that
the state, had failed to make a
case.
They particularly attacked the
testimony yesterday Of two experts
that Mrs. King could not have
fired the shot that caused her
death. Mrs. Mary c. Melvin, a
sister Of Mrs. King, joined Means
in obtaining a writ from Judge
Webb at Gastonia which II made
permanent would require assistant
District Attorney Dooling and 9TH
er New York and Chicago officials
who came here to aid in the prose
cution, to turn over the documents
TO the clerk of the superior court
of Cabarres county. The writ
is not returnable, however. until
October 8. and in the meantime,
Solicitor Clement, to whom the
documents were delivered, Will
keep them.
Among the documents men
toned in the writ was the alleged
second will Of the late ]. c. King.
Of Chicago. which If finally held
legal would give to the estate OF

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-lm-
mediate wage increases OF from
% to 10 per cent will be demand
ed by the count.y's coal miners,
it was announced here tonight,
after preliminary meeting OF
operators and miners representa-
tives of the Central Competitive
field in Washington to discuss a
general wage rcadjustment.
The demands were formulated
by the miners representatives to-
Night and will be presented at
Joint meeting tomorrow. There
is every indication that the mine
owners will refuse fatty to meet
them, first, on the ground that
they are too high, and second
that the recent fixing OF coal
prices by President Wilson will
not permit of any increases.
The increases asked, while stip-
ulated for the central field, COM
prlsing Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and
western Pennsylvania, will serve
as a basis for the entire country,
and If they were granted would
have to be met by other districts
The demands are as follows:

Democratic floor leader urged
sharp scrutiny OF what be termed
extravagant and almost reckless
departmental estimates. He said
appropriations during five months

lest next years total might be
$4,000, 100000.
we are compelled to shut our
eyes apparently great deal
rather than hamper our men on
the battlefield" said the senator.
But our duty to scrutinize these
estimates grows every hour. We
must give every dollar necessary

is to trim down extravagant and
useless appropriations. The gov
