livered into custody, was not present

sued for his arrest. He was repre
sented in the court by his attorney, W,
W, Zackary of Brevard, who stated
that his client is too ill to leave his
home and that It Is believed that. he Is
now on his death "bed. He offered to
rend It certificate to this effect from
the -family physician;' also affidavits
from prominent citizens of Transylva
nia county testifying to the fact that
he was unable 'to comply with the or
der of the court, but the certificate
and affidavits were not admitted.
Ielay Asked for Dickerson.
In the case of Mr. Dickerson, there
were arguments before Judge Boyd
today pleading for the mercy of the
court in granting a brief delay Jn pro
ceedings. The arguments were made
h.v Thomas Settle and Judge J. H
Merrimon, .and wdr based In part on
a telegram received yesterday after
noon by District Attorney A. E. Hoi
ton from Pardon Attorney Pinch of
Washington, representing the depart
ment of justice. This telegram was as
follows:
"President desires delay In execu
tion of sentence In the Breese and
Dickerson case. Attorney general dl
recti that you proceed as heretofore
Instructed and as suggested in your
telegram eighth instant to have com
mltment issued, but1 delay execution
commitment until further notion. Wire
statu and if you understand request
To this message Mr. Holton sent the
following answer
"Answer telegram. Breese. and
Dickerson notified to appear tomorrow
eleven o'clock to be committed to cus
tody of marshal to undergo sentence
Mittimus for penitentiary will then
issue. Can only delay execution by
postponing this proceeding to future
date. Court will adjourn tomorrow
to first Monday In August. Shall we
: let this case go over?1
This morning Mr. Holton received
the following message In reply to the
; above: .
Ordered to Proceed.
"Attorney general directs you pro
ceed with the commitment Breese and
Dickerson without delay. Reply." I
Following the proceedings this
morning Mr. Holton wired a reply to
" Mr. Finch, telling him of the proceed
ings. ' .
. The attorney for Mr. .Dickerson ar
gued from the first of these telegrams
that th president had found some
thing In the case deserving of consid
eration by him and that It would re
quire a delay for such consideration.
They asked that the matter be held
over until the August session or until
, the return of the process against Mr.
Breese.
They advanced still another argu
' ment for their client; to the effect that
Messrs. Breese and Dickerson were
convicted of a conspiracy; , that th
former wua the principal, being the
president of the bank, and the latter
a subordinate; therefore since the
i hand of Providence had Intervened In
delaying the execution oft he Judgment
against Mr. Breese, then a similar de
lay should b given his subordinate.
They even went ao far a to argue that
In case of th death of Mr. Breese,
thus relieving him of the punishment
through the higher power, then Mr.
. DU-keraon should also be relieved of
the service of his sentence through the
mercy of the court. ,
Holton Moves to Execute Sentence.
. District Attorney Holton Tend the
three telegrams In court and argued
from all of them that there was no
rooiiMt from the department at Wah
Ingtun that tliTe he any further de

Several Republicans Support His Motion Referring Under

By Associated Press.
. Washington, ' May 13: The tariff
fight was resumed today in the senate
on the motion of Senator Penrose to
refer the Underwood bill to the fin
ance committee with instructions for
public hearings.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee was busy early In the day
urging all democratic, members to be
on hand In case the question should
come to a vote and he felt confident
that the- republicans' : first move
against the majority would be check-'
ed. . . ,- :
Some republicans who have declar
ed they would not support the Pen
rose amendment argue that hearings
on a turllt for revenue bill would avail
nothing and that were the bill written

ANTI-ALIEN BILL
NOT ARBITRABLE
Question One The Hague Can
not Adjust, Is English
View. '
By Associated Press.
London, May 13. "if It be true that
Japan wishes to carry the California
question to The Hague tribunal, we
may s"hortly obtain a fruitful lesson In
the practical limits of arbitration
says the Pall Mall Gazette today in
discussing the - situation which has
arisen between the United States and
-Japan Irt regard to the, California
alien' land-ownership bill, '
, The newspaper continues:
"If the Chinese and Japanese are to
have free entry to the Pacific coast it
means eventually the extirpation of
white labor from that region. All the
arbitration In the world will not per
suade the people of the western states
that It is their duty to give up their
bread and butter to an alien race and
we can imagine how much likelihood
there is of the government at Wash
ington taking measures to . enforce
such an award upon its own subjects.
We should rather like to see the ex
periment for its usefulness in bringing
dreamers back to hard facts."
Japan Awaiting Developments.
Washington, May 13. The Japanese
ambassador will take no further steps
in the protest against the California
antl-allen land law until Governor
Johnson acts upon the bill before him.
Should he sign It, It was learned to
day that ajpan, without making fur
ther representations to the state de
partment, will wait a reasonable time
to see what the federal administration
Intend to do to meet the complaint
against the measure.
It was Indicated today that Japan
would not move to test the constitu
tionality of che law, but was inclined
to the view it Is incumbent upon, the
United States to take up that phase of
the question. '
Although It Is understood here that
Governor Johnson has 30 day to act,
officials believe his answer to Secre-1
tary Bryan's last communication will )
be received within a week. .

ing Special Policemen.
By Associated Press.
Buffalo, N. Y May 13 At a stormy
session of the United Trades and Labor
council, which lasted from o'clock
last night until early this morning, W.
Frank Cattell, a socialist, was ousted
from membership in the council. The
formal charge against him was that
he had made slanderous statements
about the council's business agent
Cattail led the strike of department
store clerks, and the premature walk
out of 400 machinists yesterday also
was under socialist auspices. Union
lenders declared at last night's meet
ing that Cattell precipitated strikes at
a time when the unionists were suc
cessfully working out plans to secure
betterment for the workers.
With the machinists who have voted
to strike on, Saturday night, there will
be about 700 persons on strike In the
city.
The1 police commissioners are flncT-
Ing It dllflcult to secure the three huu-
drcd special policemen wanted f,or
' rtrlkr duty. About half the number
was enrolled yesterday but 71 of these
handed In their resignation after one
of their number had been shot.
HEARINGS
convened, and It looked as though it
might be several days before a vote
was reached.
President Wilson has taken the po
sition that he ought not commit him
self In any way with respect to num
erous minor amendments to the tar
iff bill being suggested by demo
crats. Secretary Redtield had a half hour's
talk with the president before the
cabinet meeting today and declared he
believed unimportant changes would
be made but that If the president con
sented to certain ones, he would be
besieged with' requests to open up
other schedules.
Senator Simmons declared today
that many manufacturers notified him
they did not want open hearings. The
senator said the finance sub-committee-was
making some changes but that
they were not material.
Reduction of the proposed duty of
12 per" .cent on structural steel to nine

That State Is Becoming
Less
Independent of Its London
Bondholders.
By Associated Press.
London, May 13. The British for
eign office Is hopeful of an early set
tlement of the British clu ..is against
Ouatamala. The last dispatches re
ceived from the British minister indi
cated that a satisfactory reply to the
British demand was anticipated.
The British minister's instructions
authorize Mm to call on av British
warship ehould,. he think its presence
in. Guatemalan waters desirable.
Therefore, although the' foreign office
had not, as late as today, been advised
that the British cruiser, Eeolus, had
departed from Kingston, Jamaica, for
Puerto Barrios, It is thought likely
that the British minister has called
upon her commander to hasten, by the
appearance of the vessel, the payment
of the long overdue debt.
Although the matter is considered
one absolutely between Great Britain
and Guatemala, the United States has
been advised of the British Intention
to Insist upon the paying of the bond
holders. Guatemala's failure to do
this, as promised, at the end of April
ha, it Is stated, In official circles only
made' the British minister's notes to
the Guatemalan government more In
sistent. ' -

Nogales, Ariz.j May 1.1. More than
500 dead are lying on the battlefield
above Guaymas. The soldiers fell
during three days desperate fighting
last week. Colonel Aun Cahrel, who

mated the killed to exceed 600.
A train load of oil and fire wood

gent commander, stated that the fed
eral killed alone numbered 500 with
200 Hueita soldiers taken prisoners.
Both sides have been executing all
commissioned officers captured.
There was little fighting Sunday or
early yesterday. Driven to the last
station north of the gulf port, the
remnants of the federal army of some
2500 found Itself cut off from further
retreat. Believing that lack of food
and water soon would force a surren
der the state troops contented them
selves with holding the federals In
their position, occasionally harrassing
the extreme lines when any attempt
waa made to move toward Guaymas.
The 200 federals left In Guaymas did
not move from the town.

gales Sonora, has been arrested here

the men into the store tent, and that
when arrested, Wright and Wilson
had their arms filled with ammunl

toward the gulf. From the federal
rear the constitutionalists of Colonel
Bch Hill have cut off retreat. It Is
reported that there Is little water an
food at Hatametul. Only 200 federals
were left at Guaymas, while Hill's

ROWAN'S COURT HOUSE
And Presents True Bills
Against Commissioners for
Dereliction.
Special to The Gazette-News.
Salisbury, May 13. The grand jury
yesterday afternoon made Its' anxious
ly looked for report on the new Rowan
county courthouse, the walls of which
are now about completed and which
building is to cost about $125,000. The
Jury employed a committee of experts
to examine the building as to quality
of stone and wormanshlp, and this
committee's report is attached to the
jury's report. The experts state that
the stone used In the sides and front
of the building was taken fronx boul
ders or from near the surface of the
quarry, and .shows serious riiscolora-
tlons and a wide variety of texture
and Is entirely unsuited for use as an
ornamental building stone. "It Is not
at all representative of the Rowan
county granite and should not have
been allowed to be used in the build
ing," says the report. The stones were
not cut square and It was Impossible
to put them up plumb and true. Spec.
mentions called for six-cut stone and
tne kina usea is narniy a lour-cut
stone. "The committee recommends Tho Bedouin patrol from Musko
that all the granite In the front of the Kee okla., is out after first honors

action be taken on It. The commit-
tee s plumb line applied to tne corners
of the building showed them to be I
out of plum from three-fourths to two!

larger at the top than below the water
table. '
The grand Jury recommended that
the commissioners- require proper
grade of stone and proper workman -

ployed Is unfit and unqualified and re
commended his dismissal and that
competent man be put In. The report
continues: "We further report that
we condemn the building from start
to as far as now constructed.' We find
thta there has been paid $52,400,
which is In excess of the worth of the
building In Its present condition, and
therefore, ask that no further pay
