Men Engage in Fight and One
Suffers a Fractured
f Skull.
flrevard. Sept 21.-At the Brevard
Cotton Mill Jerry Graham an em
ploye of the mill who was in charge
of the carding department is alleged
to have assaulted hi sfellow employe,
Harvey Ellingburg, either with a
heavy stick or a bar of iron, inflicting
such a serious wound on Ellingburg's
head that the physician holds out lit
tle hope of his recovery. The blow
caused a fracture of the skull and the
victim, who is less than IS years old,
has been in a. semi-conscious condi
tion ever since he was assaulted. ;
The physician in charge ordered
him taken to the hospital at Ashe
ville. The town policeman arrested
the assailant soon after the difficulty
and lodged him in the county Jail,
where he awaits the outcome of young
El'ingburg's injury. Little can be
learned of. the cause of the assault
except that Graham was instructed
hy the foreman of the mill to teach
Rllinsburg how to operate some of
the machinery. A quarrel started be
tween them and angry words passed
for some little while, according to the
version of Graham, young Ellingburg
cursed him and advanced with a
knife. There were no eye witnesses
to the nssnult.
The Asheville hospitals report that
Ellingburg has not been brought
here.

Washington, Sept 22. John Hays
Hammond, Jr., inventor of the wire
less controlled torpedo from the shore

officer for purchase by the United

Many torpedoes fired from submarines
or detroyersnever reach their mark.
Mr. Hammond believes he has found
a means by which the deadly mlssllo
fired from sea craft may be guided
unfailingly.
If by proper selection of food one
can feel strong and fresh at the end of
a day's work, It Is worth while to
know the kind of food that will pro

Sweden and England come to a satis
factory understanding regarding Swe
dish Imports and the transit of sup
plies to Germany, this understanding
will not be reached through any Swed
ish concession or alteration of her de
mands to be treated as a neutral na
tion enjoying the freedom of the seas,
according to the statement made to
day, to The Associated Press by Erlo
de Trolls, president of the Royal trade
commission, former minister of for
elgn affairs, and at present member of
the English-Swedish commission en
gaged In attempting to settle the trade
dispute.
''Sweden cannot and will not sur
render to English demands restricting
her commerce, " said de TroOe, "In
order to help England In ptr Indus
trial war against Oermaay, H she
did this, not only would Sweden Aufter
industrially herself, but she would be
come' virtually an ally of England.
The last consideration Is the more Im.
portant since Sweden would no longer
be a strictly neutral nation.
"If the permits the transit of sup
plies between England and Russia and
Joins In any attempt to prevent the
transit of supplies to Germany ah Is
becoming an Important base of sup
plies for the allies and Is at the same
time really entering Into the war
against Germany. Sweden's modest
desire la to be allowed to rarry on her
normal Industry and to observe a strict
neutrality which means helping
neither side In a military or Industrial
way, to the exclusion of the other. In
this point of view she differs with the
United States which Is supplying Eng
land alone. Sweden does not consider
this a real neutrality. Iter position,
from whloh she will not reclde Is an
absolutely neutral attitude toward all
combattante,
"It Is logical therefore that we
should hold up supplies destined for
Russia while England's stoppage of
our Imports of raw materials Inter
feres with our Industry and trade with
Usrmany. We are sorry that Russia
Li foroed to wait for her supplies
which have acumutated here but while
our ships are belag held In ' English
prr courts, we think the action en
tirety justifiable.
"It It were only a commercial ques
tion, Sweden might And It possible lo
yield to England's demands, but etnie
It la primarily a polltloal quertlon ef
not allying ourselves with either side,
we cannot yield. We are, however.
not hopeless regarding the solutloa of
our dispute with England. Sweden Is
not unconscious of the English view
point or the necessity which compels
her to adopt her present attitude re
garding the shipping of materials to
Germany, She wishes to restrict our
Imports as much as possible. Both
our members and the Engllehmem
bers of the commission have recently
made proposals which may Isad to a
satisfactory adjustment of the ques
tion of restricting our Imports.
"There Is no quarrel about the ex
port to Germany of our own home
manufactures or of the articles which
are not placed on the Swedish prohib
itory list although England may
think that ths export llsf in the way
of special licensee grsnted to Ger
many. In order to get supplies which
we are bound to make to our prohibi
tory export list In the way of special
licenses granted on our forbidden list.
It troubles the English because we ran
not produce statistics showing ths ex
act amount and character of goods
shipped to Germsny under theee con
ditions. The publication of iurhflg
ures would lead to obvious difficul
ties. "Moreover, we cannot guarantee, as
England would like to have us do, that
supplies win not under any conditions
be sent Into Oermany. Not only would
wo suffer from not being able to get
what we need from Germany, but we
would then be partisan to England.
"As to ths assertion that our Im
ports have Increased beyond our own
capacity for consumption since the
beginning of the war, this Is not gen
rally true. Our poor harvest es4 our
Inability to get grain from Russia and
other supplies from Oermany has, of
course increased our export from other
countries. But even If our exports
have Increased we do not recognise
England's rights to Interfere without
commerce.
"Most of Sweden's exports to Ger
many are not artloles directly con
nected with military affairs. England
cannot ask us to cut down our meat
exports to Germany, for that Is ons of
our chief Industries. The kind of cop
per and the thin hides which Sweden
sends to Germsny are not available for
military purposes. Nor can there be
any criticism of our timber and wood
pulp exports to Oermany, Al'i these
am the products of home Industry.
and most of ths things which we send
to Oermany are for the civilian lather
that the soldier."
