No. 74 BroadwayNew York, Wed nesday night, beat Richard TV Gray, aged watchman, with an iron bar. and then Attempted to chloroform^ him. The assault occurred on the 19th floor of the building where the cries of the old man could not have been heard In the street, and wfmi'the only person in the sky sciaper was a cleaner on* the first floor. A former employe of one of the banks in the building is suspected The detectives say that this man af ter his discharge, became intimate with a professional safe breaker. The bank "where he is employed is equip ped with burglar alarms, and the only safe way to gain entrance Into the bank was to get the keys. The detectives say that had the ~m«w ges-4«^^h»>baufc..uud.ropened.Y^g^En^Twar; Though U Vas f ” *** •■teb'lshm the safe, the robbery would have eclipsed the robbery of the Old Man* hattan bank yeara ago'. One eleva tor in the building is in bse all night for the benefit of the watchman Some time after midnight Graty bad got to . the 19th floor when sud denly two men sprang at him as he came from an office. One felled him with an iron bar and the other strnck biro across the face with a chisel. “Now give up the keys to every office,’’ one of the men commanded. Btbod was flowing over the old man’s face and so weak was he from pain that he could not rise to his foot. He was game to the core, bow bver. There was not aVfcey to an office In the building that was not tucked away In his pocket. ’T haven’t got a single key,” he said. “If you don’t believe me. kill me and search me. I don’t mind dylng- Only make it quick and don’t beat me like this.’’ This speech displessed one of the men and he brought his fist down on the helpless old watchman’s head and the next instant one thrust the chloroform under his nose. As Gray explained afterward, the •chloroform seemed to alleviate his pain and give him strength, lie struck the vial and knocked It from the mkn’s hand. Them he tried to rise, but a blow frqm the iron bar sent him to his knees again. “Haven't yod got those keys now?’ asked the man. “No. gad L never have had them ■They don't trust the likes of me with keys to the hanks,” said Gray.

Gray got to ~ W feet and tried to follbw them WberTone of them sprang-at him and knocked him sprawling. * “Now, you try that, and it will be your finish. You stay here and we will find the way out ” he said, and then sent the elevator shooting to the ground floor where, the two men ran to the street, unlocking the safe ty latch on the front dofir.

He Says War Between tlie United States. sod the Japs May Be On Very Soon. In the course of a lecture at Green ville on Thursday evening. Congress man Richmond Pearson Hobson, formerly of the United States navy, made the startling declaration that Japan is only awaiting a pretext be fore declaring war against the United States. He said Japan could land 200.000 veteran troops on the Pacific coast befort} the United States could pre pare effective resistance, and oonti follow them up with 200,000 more before this government could dis patch Uiitfinnany over bur trans continental railroads. Japan was prepared for war today, he said, but the United States ^could not get on a war footing In months, perhaps, in a year. « Captain Hobson said that the dis patch of the battleships to the Faclfic may~save Uie situation for the United States, but he feared Japan drouTd strike befeypr the fleet ever reached San Francisco. Japan is now trying to find an ex- cqse for a declaration of war, in or der to have some of the force of pub lic opinion in Europe in her favo*\ He cited that the San Francsco in cident as an example, and said that our .TWSSkdqwn was a wise piece of statesmanship, because it prevented CHANGES SUGGESTED la Packing aad Handling Cotton on the Farm and in Transit—For Packing Cotton Foreigners Recosa- i ^ mead Use of Heavy Cotton Bagging la Place of Jute Bagging Which Is Now Used., That incalculable benefit will flow to the South from the conference be tween the spinners of Europe, Great Britain and America and the cotton growers of the South. the concluding day’s session of which was held in Atlanta on Wednesday, is the opinion of the leading spinners of Europe and the United States, and the prominent cotton growers who participated in the conference.

While Morconl experts were testing new receiving cones at the top of the tower at the station at Port Morlen last week; an operator was In com- munieation with the wiseless station at Manila. The message received was that the American cruiser Philadel phia had arrived. The Marconi people account for the occurrence by the theory that the rone at Manila must have l>edn in perfect tune with that at Port Morien. ■The message from Manilk was "picked up” while being sent to some other station on the Pacific or to a war vessel.’ The message was rerordedkat the time by an ope in the receiving room at the Marconi station. At the time the experts were ex perimenting in an effort to receive messages from Ireland. They re ceived several messages from the Irish statlpn. and were in the act of making further tests when the instru ments recorded thp arri.Vf.i of the Philadelphia at Manila. The Marconi people say that no lent erf-direct trade relations between the grower and spinner, and that the day is not far distant when-the spinner wilt-buy direct from the foreign agent of the producer in whose rapidly increasing system of warehouses his cotton will be stored and held. ‘ * Were no other things accompl^ihed by the conference ended Wednesday, the South has been advertised in the newspapers of The world as never be fore.

That the Jute bagging in nse be codemned as Inviting rough handling because of its course texture, its great bulk and weight, and Its failure to retain marks. The use of 10-onncb weight per yard osnabnrgs, 40 in ches wide is recommended.

The object of the conference was to perfect and as speedily as possible to agree upon terms whereby the growers of the union could deal dir ect with the European consumers. It was stated by the union’s officers that already the union had arranged to locate ah gent in Englnd; that a central agency had been established in Memphis and that this office will notify the European agency of all cotton ready for sale. Mr. Macallster guaranteed that all cotton offered would be bought.
