WOOL MANUFACTURERS
Annual Meeting of the National Asso
citation in Boston.


Boston, Jan. 12.-Wool manufacturers
from all parts OF the country were at
the Brunswick this afternoon and eve
ming, attending the thirty third annual
session Of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers. The association
includes about 1875 of the leading wool
manufacturers of the United States, al
though the number of mills represented
is considerably in excess Of these fig
ureS, as some of the members represent
several mills.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor William H i.
Halle of Sprinfeld, president of the as
ISOLATION presided at the business meet
ing. After the executive committee had
met, the regular session began, officers
being reelected as follows: President,
ex-Lieutenant Governor Halle; secre-
tary, S. N. D. North; treasurer, Benja-
min Phipps.
Secretary North read his annual re-
port, showing a marked improvement in
business conditions the past year, al
though this improvement is not as great
as some may imagine, and the state of
the manufacture is yet far from salts
factory to all
w. j. Battison, agent of the associa-
ton, whose duty it is to see that the
mills are working in harmony, present
ed his report, and that Of Treasurer
Benjamin Phipps was also read. The
report shows that, while the association
has accomplished much in the past year,
it is necessary to make further efforts
to increase its membership.
A great many mills which are not rep
resented in the association are working
in sympathy with it, but there are some
which refuse to cooperate. Efforts will
be made to bring these into line, and
extend the influence and usefulness of
the association in the coming year

DEBT CAUSED DEATH.
Towle Assaulted Friend and Was Shot
Fatally.

ToWle Assaulted a Friend and Was Shot
Fatally.
Boston, Jan. 12.-Driven to desperation
over debt of $3.50 for rent Joseph w.
Towle, 50 years old, of 600 Harrison
avenue, tonight assaulted a friend who
had promised to aid him, and was shot
and instantly killed.
John E. Gordon, 81 years old, living
al 9O4 Harrison avenue, did the shoot
ing according to his own confession, and
Is locked up on the charge of murder.
ToWle and his wife have for several
weeks been sharing the fiat of James E.
Gale. Gordon says Towle was threat
ened with election unless he paid at
once the $3.50 that he owed for rent.
Gordon says Towle told him this after
noon of his financial difficulties and
Gordon promised to help him. After eat
ing supper Gordon borrowed ST. so which
he took to Towle's lodgings, and finding
Mrs. Towle, gave her the money Then
Gordon says he went into the Gale ten
ement where he found Gale and Towle
quarreling. He interfered to separate
them. when Towle turned upon him.
"Towle was a much larger and
heavier man than IT, said Gordon, "and
very angry. Seeing what 1 took to be
a knife in his hands, and fearing for
my life, drew my revolver quickly and
fired two shots, and he fell.'
Gordon went to the police station be-
fore the police were aware that a muir
der had been committed, told his story
and surrendered himself. Officers were
quickly dispatched to the mouse, where
Towle was found dead on the kitchen
floor. Mrs. Towle did not seem to know
much about the affair. Gale and Mrs.
Towle are both held as witnesses.
post mortem examination showed
that only one shot mad taken effect, that
one passing through the nostril and
penetrating the brain.

(Signed) r. D. Colson.
Acting under authority OF the Cornell
athletic council.
In aal interview tonight, members of
the council said that by this action Cor
nell had done all she possibly could do
toward securing n raIse with Yale. If It
Is insisted that Cornell can row with the
Yale Grew only by an unconditional ac-
oeptance al her challenge. then Cornell
will consid err the advl stability Of making
another arrangement, This, there Is no
doubt, with be an Instant call for a
PouFhkeeIsie regatta, In which Cornell,
Harvard, Columbia and Pennsylvania
win compete, In case Yale accepts, Cor
nell will have two races to row, that
with Yale and Harvard and one with
Pennsylvania and Columbia. This the
council has underworld to avoid, but,
being in an embarrassing position, Cor
nell is willing to adapt herself to cir
cumstances.
THE REPORT AT YALE
New Haven, ConrL, Jan. 12.-Captain
Payne Whitney of the Yale University
crew. at a late hour tonight received
Cornell's formal reply to the challenge
sent by Yale some, time ago for an
eight-oared race to be rowed over the
Thames course at New London next
spring. Captain Wlaitney announced an
inability to discuss the situation at this
time. He said:
1.-THE wording of Cornelrs reply to our
challenge is of a character which will
require considerable thought. Until I
have had an opportunity to think it over
I cannot say anything"
Robert J. Cook, Yales veteran coach
was also seen. Mr.. Cook had been made
aware of the contents of Cornells an
Swer, and his face indicated something
akin to disappointment. Like Captain
Whitney, Mr.. Cook refused to talk on
the situation, main tanning it would not
be courtesy to make public any express
sion of opinion before replying to Cor
nelPs communication.
To as many of Yale's leaders, outside
the boating authorities, as have been
made cognizaI1t of the situation as it
full. A few prominent graduates did not
hesitate to expires their dissatisfaction.
They announce that they fail to under
stand why Cornell cannot accept Yale's
challenge as it was sent.
The wording Of Cornell's manifesto
of the boating situation in that por-
ton where it deals with Yale is consid-
cred somewhat peremptory. and it is
not thought to be of a character which
will appeal to the undergraduate senti-
ment favorably. On the campus tonight
great uncertainty prevails as to the
final outcome of what now appears to
be a disagreeable situation.
SURPRISE AT HARVARD.
Cambridge, Jan. 12.-Capt Goodrich of
the Harvard crew was shown the Asso-
ciated Press disnatches from Ithaca tn
night. He said that the Harvard dis
patch was the one he sent to Cornell,
but he had had no reply as yet. He
seemed surprised that Cornell should
give out this reply to the Harvard chal-
lenge, before that reply reached Har-
ward.
