COY. SALAZAR HAS
FILED A PROTEST
coLoMBIANS d. NOT LIKE Nc
LEANS ACTION OF DISARMlNG
VETERAN SOLDIERS BEFORE
ALLOWING THEM TRANSIT.

Washington, September 26.-Mr. Con-
cablegram today from Governor Salazar
of Panama, reciting the fact that he had
lodged a protest with commander Nc
Lean regarding the landing of the ma
rines on the Isthmus from the Cinein-
natl as reported in yesterday afternoons
dispatches, the governor regarding COM
mander McLean's opinions as having the
appearance of an attempt to exercise acts
of sovereignty in Colombian territory.
The legation officials have not been adj
vised whether the governor made appli-
cation to the United States naval forces
for assistance in keeping open the rail-
road transit or whether this was taken
on Commander McLean's own initiative.
They are inclined to think it was not
altogether the act of landing the ma
rines that has met with the protest and
criticism, but rather the manner in which
the authority has been exercised, particu
larry in the disarmament of veteran sol
diers of Colombia before permitting their
transit over the railroad.
The legation officials do not expect to
present Governor Salar's protest to the
state department unless instructions d.
recting such a step be received from the
Colombian government They have con-
tented themselves up to this time in SIM
ply presenting to the department a state
ment of conditions as they appeared to
exist at Panama, compiled from infor-
nation they were able to obtain. Their
opinion is that matters will be smoothed
over without further friction.

GERMANY is INTERESTED.
Watching the New York Money Mar
ket With Close Attention.

Berlin, September 26-The New York
money market is watched here with the
closest attention.
DR.. Koch, president of the Reischbank.
referred to the money situation in New
York at the monthly sitting today of the
central committee OF the bank. He said
the situation there was not exactly clear.
but that up to the present time 1t had
not affected the German or other Euro
pean banks. The fact that the Bank of
England was afraid of the American
stringency, and even If the Bank of Eng
land did raise it's rates said President
Koch, similar action in Berlin need not
be Immediately expected. Although the
demands for the closing quarter are
heavier than usual. still the Reischbank's
status is so strong that 1t will be able to
meet the requirements at the existing
rates. President Koch said the bank
recent slight loss of gold had been &C.
casioned by the domestic demand and
that gold exports in the immediate fu-
ture were not apprehended. The presi-
dent of the Reischbank said also that the
situation showed the usual movements
caused by the impending autumn de-
mands and that during the last week of
September strong tension was inevitable

standing the rise in the rate of discount
on the open market it is not yet possi-
Bile to foresee how far a rise In the bank
rate will be necessary, more especially
as more gold Is coming In than going
out and that foreign rates of exchange
are favorable.
1t is understood that German banks are
still placing funds at the disposal of their
New York agents and the aggregate Of
these loans week ago was estimated
by a representative of the Deutsch bank
at $50, 600, 600 and the total of European
money in Wall street at about 5000 900
London Paper Discusses Stringency.
London. September 27.-The Statist to-
day discusses at length the much moot
ed subject of the monetary conditions In
the United States and suggests as rem
edy for the money stringency that the
American law requiring banks in certain
cities to keep reserve equal to % per
cent of their deposits to be amended so
as to permit use of that reserve on con-
dition that the banks pay a tax to the
government of 5 per cent. The Statist
argues that such a provision would reas-
sure the public and probably put a stop
to extreme pressures.

Sixty Per Cent Of Them Said
to be Consolidated
FRIES PLAN TO Be ADOPTED
Directory of the New Company VIII
Include PhIladelphlans, While Con-
troll of Holdings Rests With
Southern Mil Men.

Philadelphia, September 2s.-The Record
tomorrow will say:
The project to consolidate 60 per cent
of the spinning and weaving mills in the
south under the control of holding cor
poration has finally materialized and II
was announced yesterday by one Of the
managers OF the enterprise that Fries
plan had been adopted by enough of the
southern mills to guarantee the success
Of the proposition. The cash capital in
volved In the enterprise now amounts to
81, 200. 900. This will be increased as fast
as additional mills come into the COM
bination.
Nearly all the largest and most i'm
portant of the modern spinning and
weaving mills in the south are interested
in the project, and those that have not
already signed options will do so as
soon as the stockholders of the several
companies can be brought together to
ratify agreements already made by the
accredited representatives.
Philadeiphians directly concerned in the
enterprise yesterday confirmed the well
authenticated reports received from the
south as to the adoption of the Fries
of the mills actually acquired. They stat
ed that the control of the proposed hold
ing corporation would be vested in repre-
sentative mill men of the south. The ex-
ecutive officers of the holding company
will also be southern mill men.
The directory of the new company will
include several Philadelphians who are
prominently identified with the cotton
trade, as well as a number of cotton men
actively engaged in the trade in New
York, Boston and the New England mar
ket. The financial institutions directly
concerned in the enterprise will also have
representatives on the board of directors.
The mill owners themselves, however,
will control the holding corporation un-
der the operation of the Fries plan, which
gives them a majority voice In the direc-
tory, as well as all the bonds and pre-
ferred stock issued by the holding corpor-
atoms.
All the men directly In charge of the
mills will be representative mill people
of the south.

Meeting Held Between Little Rock
Business Men and Railroads.

Memphis. September 2e.-There was an
important conference held here today be-
tween representatives OF the Little Rock
chamber OF commerce and freight traffic
officials Of several Memphis railroads.
The cotton interests of Arkansas contend
that Little Rock Is Disseminated against
by the Southern railroad from 10 to Is
cents a hundred pounds, and for that
reason cotton is shipped to greater adj
vantage from Shreveport ana Monroe.
La, into which points the Southern rail-
road has rails connecting those cotton
centers with Carolina mill points. After
a full discussion the traffic managers east
Of the river recommended that the pres
ent tariff on Little Rock shipments of
cotton be reduced 2 cents per hundred
pounds. The Arkansas delegation were
not satisfied with the small concession
and so declared themselves.

General N. NJ. Curtis, assistant In
spector general of national homes for
soldiers and sailors, was in the city
Tuesday for the purpose of making his
semi annual inspection and muster of

time is devoted to the muster Of the
members The inmates of the home are
divided into ten companies, each of
which is under the charge of a captain,
chosen from among the members. AT
the muster Tuesday the companies
were marched, ore at time, to tho
headquarters building, where they an
swered to muster. This is done, as
1t IS required by the government. fcr
on a basis OF the average attendanc.
at the home the government pays the
state 500 each year for each member.
The government takes this means of
ascertaining that the state is drawing
no more from the national fund Than 1t
is entitled to. Gen. Curtis is a man
of but few words. but 1t is known from
What little he did say that the condi-
tion of the Home and the muster was
very satisfactory to him. He is a
great disciplinarian and was we'll
pleased with the prompt and military
manner in which the muster was con-
Quoted. Owing to the absence of Com
mandant Horton from the city Adjt. B.
r. Warfel conducted the muster. To-
day the members of the state board
of control are visitors at TIE Home for
their semi-annual tour of inspection.
