OFFICIAL FACES
MURDER Charge
HENDERSON, HELD RESPON.
SIBLE FOR DEATH OF MAN
HE STRUCK.

BOISE-(SpeciaD-A charge of
murder was filed Thursday of last
week against Secretary 0. P. Hender-
shot Of the state fair as the result O.
the death the day before of Michael
Morris, an employee of the Bernardo
Carnival company, whom Henderson,
is alleged to have struck in the mouth
during an alteration on September
"a, the third day of the fair.
An autopsy on the dead mans brain
revealed that death was caused by a
hemorrhage in a syphilitic lesion The
coroner's jury failed to find either
way on the question of whether or not
Hendershot's blow caused the fatal
hemorrhage, leaving that to be de-
termined by the trial Jury. A ma
jority of the physicians present at the
inquest took the view that the blow
was the cause of the rupture.
Refused Admittance.
The alteration occurred over re-
fusal OF Morris to admit M. w. Ely
state constable, to a concession ir
his charge. Morris claimed Eby would
not show his badge. In the resulting
dispute, Henderson, struck Morris II
the mouth Morris became sick with

few days later and died within an
other week without regaining con
sciousness. The fatal incident is sait
to have been the elimination of sew
eral warnings on Hendershot's par
to the Snowman that alleged indelicat
performances of Hawaiian girls in TIL
concession must cease.
Hendershot has issued statemen
asking the public to reserve judgmen
until all the facts are brought out
Upon being notified of Morris
death, Henderson, returned immedi
ately to Boise from Lewiston, wher
he had gone to be married, and place,
himself at the disposal of the courts
He easily furnished bond of $1,000
and was freed until his case is brough
to trial. He returned to Lewiston thi
week to conduct the annual northwes
livestock show.

Silks
Fear Of Strike IN Silk
Mills Holds DO,un
Trade

Although demand for dress silks
yesterday was OF large volume, the
scarcity of merchandise and fear of a
general strike of mill operatives next
Monday held down sales. Out-of- town
buyers were numerous in the show
rooms Of the leading manufacturers,
and among the visitors were many who
usually wait until the latter part Of
July to make their purchases. The
selling agents were not anxious to take
livery because they already are per-
production. Some of the out-of town
merchants endeavored to extract from
the manufacturers promises that they
would be protected" or assured that
enough spring goods would be reserved
for their future needs.
A number of the smaller jobbers ad-
mitted that their customers were
strongly protesting against the high
prices being demanded for all kinds of
finished fabrics. These protestants. it
was stated, INDUCED in considerable
shopping among the iobbers, and in
some instances the buyers refused to
place orders unless the sellers con
sented to shade prices.
Some of the jobbers professed to be-
| lieve that the manufacturers would
welcome strike Of their operatives for
forty-four- hour working week, it be-
ing intimated that in the event of q
strike being declared the mill owners
would be able to resclnd contracts
placed months ago when prices were
far below those now prevailing.

Chemicals
Export Business Increases
in Chemicals, With
Prices Doing Better

Little activity was displayed in the
chemical market yesterday. Price s
were said to be adhering to the ad-
vancing tendencies Of last week. Among
manufacturers and brokers it is be
lieycd that the price situation is now
close TO normal. Some commodities
which advanced to what were consid-
cred excessive quotations are back
close TO prc-war levels.
Bichromate Of soda is quoted as a
typical example Of the price trend. Be-
fore the war this commodity was sell
ing at 5 cents pound. At one stage
OF the high price period it was consid-
crably above 25 cents. Yesterday sales
were reported at 8M cents a pound.
Export business continues to over
shadow transactions with domestic
consumers, and is reported to be in
creasing daily, with the heaviest sales
being TO South American and Scandi-
navian countries. Among the sales re-
ported yesterday wassa large quantity
Of cauetic soda at 1920 Il hundred
pounds.

Jewelry
Watches to Bring Higher
Prices; Retailers Buy
Very Freely

Jobbers expect watch manufacturers
within the next few days to announce
new schedule which will show in
creased quotations.. Some of the job
bers intimatcd yesterday that they
knew what the advance would amount
to, but preferred having the manufact-
urers announce it.
AS in other branches Of the jewelry
trade, seasonal buying for watches il
a thing Of the past. Many retailers
are now in the market eager to pur-
chase for fall delivery. Orders arc
also being secured by mail in large
volume.
Jobbcrs already have started rccciv-
ing orders from their travelling sales
men, who, in some cases, have been on
the road for several weeks. These rep
resentatives report that the retailers
are carrying low stocks. Deliveries
from the factories, it is said. continue
to be slow, and, as result, jobbers
can ship only small quantities of
watches to their customers.
Because OF the shortage of stocks
jobbcrs say that prices throughout tho
retail trade are on Il moro stable basis.
Price cutting, they say, has Aen prac-
tically eliminated.

Textiles
Reduced Supplies Of Cot
ton Goods Continue in
Actiue Demand

In the cotton goods trade yesterday
all classes of textiles were bought as
freely as the reduced offerings by the
mills permitted. Some concerns ad-
vanced their prices for colored fabrics
l to IL cents a yard, and it was
stated that there were two buyers for
every yard of cloth available.
Bleached goods were purchased on a
large scale by buyers hailing from
nearly every section of the country.
AS the mill agents encountered no
opposition on the score of prices, the
disposition of buyers in this respect
being even less marked than it was
last week, it was inferred that the
void in jobbers' supplies is so great
that they cannot afford to quibble
Especial activity was reported in wide

was of good volume, and it was init
mated that Germany had placed an
order with a leading firm Of commits
sion merchants for a quantity of
printed fabrics.
The head of an exporting concern
stated that six weeks ago he had
supplies of cottons in hand which he
thought would be ample for the re-
quirements of his customers to the
end of the year, but in the last month
and half so per cent 5f the goods
have been sold. Demand for gray or
unbleached goods was brisk, although
buying was limited by lack Of offer
ings from the mills. The print cloth
64-6Os, advanced a cent yard to
1872 cents, while the other construc-
tions were held at firm levels.
