The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1903-10-31

The announcement made through
Associated Press dispatches during the
week to the enect that many Of the
mills ir the English spinning districts
are resuming only tends to confirm the
view expressed eIitorially in the
Leader al the time the plants We're
closed down
It viii be recalled that a story was
sent out from London detailing the
awful horrors which the operatives
and tgadespeople were undergoing in
The textile districts. and attriDuting
an Of their suffering TO the high prices
brought about by American gambl-
ing
At that time the Leader pointed
out that the shut downs were not due
in any sense to the high prices. but to
the actual scarcity of cotton. Further
mere it gave the figures for the past
ten years, showing that holdings Of
American cotton at liverpool were
The lightest during that period and it
also made the assertion that the for,
cign mills would not be able to re-
plenish their holdings Of American
cotton to any appreciable extent be-
fore the latter part Of October.
Last week for the first time this sea
son the weekly statement showed a
gain in stock Of American cotton, and
concurrently with the appearance lof
this increase, due to the more liberal
arrivals OF American, comes the an
nouncement that the mills are resum-
ing as rapidly as they are able to,
supply themselves with cotton.
The idea thar high prices caused the
mills 81 close down was myth from
start to finish, and all the reports Of
this kind were put out for the effect
they would have on the price of cotton
in the south,
= OF a piece with this is the effort now
being made by Buston. the English au-
thorlSy. and others to ridicule the idea
that the mills are making any money
with cotton al the present level and
the frequent assertions that, at cur
rent values, the consumption Of cotton
this season viii be below the produc
lion. despite the fact that the yield
promises TO be a rather short one

COIOred Salt Water Day Passed
Off Very Successfully at BOyn-
tons Yesterday.
THERE EARL AND LATE.
No Accidents Nor Anything to Mar the
Pleasure of the Day Was Reported
Everybody Who Went We're Determined
to have Good Time and They Succeed
ed-CoIored Folks Danced.

Yesterday was one of the biggest
days that the traction company and
Boynton Beach have ever experienced
Soon after dawn the fun seeking
crowds of colored folks started by
trolley, carriage, stage and boat from
this entire section, all bound for the
beach where they celebrated their
saltwater day "a rousing style.
When these folks start out to have
day of pleasure, it's watermelons to
peanuts that they're going to succeed,
and anyone who happened to be at
Boynton Beach yesterday, during the
day or evening. can verify that state
ment.
All the amusements and stands at
the beach were literally patronized
and large numbers enjoyed the bath
ing.
Speaking with News reporter this
morning, Superintendent Rock, of the
Raritan Traction Company, said in
reply to query as to whether the
cars carried large crowds or not.
Indeed they did; we did an immense
business. The crowd was very order
ly, however, and no accidents nor
fights took place. I have no definite
knowledge as to the number of pic
nickers, but I do know that the crowd
was one of the largest in our expeI-
ience."
Quite number of white folks"
went to the beach during the after
noon and evening to see the fun.
They were not disappointed.

Establishment.
MAY Be OPPOSITE HERE.
Says he has Option on Two Sites One in
TottenvIIe and the Other at RossvilIe
Dredgisg Necessary at TottenviIIe-
Seeks State Aid for the Work Capital
Being Subscribed.

A new ship yard will probably be
located along Staten Island sound
opposite this city before another year
rolls around. Charles Schofield,
formerly president of the Perth Am
boy Shipbuilding and Engineering
Company, is at the head of the new
company. The idea of the company
was conceived by Mr.. Schofield, and,
through him, several capitalists were
interested Option has been secured
on property at Tottenville and at
Rossville. Which site will finally be
chosen depends upon the action of the
State of New York
In speaking about the project to a
News reporter yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Schofield said
''The land at Tottenville is a short
distance above Main street, and is
600x700 feet in extent. 200 fest more
can be procured at a slight increase in
the cost. The hinderance to choosing
this location is the dredging that must
be done in order to get the necessary
water front approach. There are
/ 200 cubic feet of dreging necessary
which will require an outlay of $3, 500.
We will try TO get the State of New
York to aid us with this dredging
and, if unsuccessful. the Rossville site
will likely be favored.
'The latter location has an area of
twenty three acres with deep water,
and can be bought for about the same
price as the other The choice of
sites Will depend largely on the out
come of the attempt to secure help
with the dredging, but, at any rate,
work will not be started at all on the
yard before next spring
This delay is nurtful in view of the
fact that Mr.. SchofieId has already
secured contracts for two boats, which
will in all probability be re-awarded
to some company on the Delaware
river. The new shipbuilding and
engineering company will be capital
lied at $40, 900 of which sum, more
than half has already been subscribed
The incorporation papers will be Gaken
out in New York or New Jersey. In
order to familiarize himself more
closely with the most modern methods
in building ships. Mr.. Schofeld, who
will be president of the new company,
will make a tour of the Great Lakes
and perhaps of several European
countries this fall

TO OPPOSE.
TROLLEY co?
Vice Chancellor Said to be in
Favor of AbOIishing Grade
Crossings.
MATTER NOW ON.

1t is reported that Vice. Chancellor
Reed, before whom the Jersey Central
Traction Company had applied for an
Injunction restraining the Central
Railroad of New Jersey from interfer-
ing with the traction company laying
its tracks and stringing it's wires
across the railroad at the Cottrell
place at Newton, had decided that
the crossing could not be made at
grade and that the traction company
would have to elevate it's tracks, in
order to cross the line Of the railroad.
Chief Engineer J. w. Smith, of the
Vandegrift Construction company,
which is building the line, informs us
that this is not true.
It is said the vice chancellor may
order the traction company to raise
it's tracks, and if he does in this case,
the decision will probably apply to
the other railroad crossings of which
there are several along the line of the
road. 1t would make the undertaking
much more expensive and consider.
ably delay it's completion.
Meanwhile it is said that negotia-
tions are in progress for an amicable
understanding between the two cor
porations, in order to avoid prolonged
and expensive litigation.

Grabbed Hack at the Central
Station and Dashed Through
the City at Lively Pace.
HACKMAN IN PURSUIT.
Scene Created Much ExCitement-Horse
Turned Down High Street and on to
Broad Where twas Stopped-Driver
a Young Man from Brcoklyn-Father
Notified and he was taken Home.

"Herrmann, there goes somebody
with your rig.
These words were the first inkling
Frederick Hermann had that some
one had jumped into his carriage,
which had been standing in front OF
the Central depot about O'Clock last
evening waiting for train, and made
off with it. At the words Mr.. Herr
mann started in pursuit on foot and
william Suydam, who had hack
nearby, drove after the fugitive.
The mysterious occupant of Herr
mann's hack drove straight down
Smith street to High IN the car tracks,
narrowly missing several pedestrians
in his course. He had the reins loose
ly in his left hand while he furiously
piled the lash with his right, doing it
in "true Western style' as he after
wards told Chief Burke.
Upon reaching the Packer House,
the horse, gpided either by natural
desire to go towards his stable or by
the careless hand of his driver, turned
sharply, narrowly missing the pro.
jecting curb, and continued his swift
pace on High street in a northerly
direction.
All this time his pursuers had been
gaining on the supposed thief, and
when he turned from High into Broad,
Suydam stopped in front of him. The
fellow made some slight show of
resistance, but was taken by Patrol
man Jensen and brought to Police
Headquarters, to which place large
crowd followed attracted by the great
commotion due to the wild ride down
Smith street.
After an examination and search the
fellow was taken to a cell. The ex-
animation disclosed the fact that his
name was John Sullivan. He said he
was twenty-five years old, the son of
Dennis Sullivan, liquor dealer OF
Brooklyn, and had left that city to go
down to the town of Morgan, near
Matawan, for visit. How he happen
ed to be in this city he could not say.
Sullivan was we'll dressed and carried
q satchel. He also had quite some
money on his person. 1t was plainly
seen that he had been drinking and
that this had been followed an
attack of delirium tremens. He had a
recently emptied flask in his pocket.
When visited in his cell by two or
three of the police young Sullivan
seemed unable to converse in a coher-
ent manner, explaining that they"
had been after him and he had to get
away from Them and that the
officers would have done the same
thing had they been in his place.
Chief Burke telephoned to the
young mans father, who came down
on an early train this morning. The
elder Sullivan said that his son had
just gotten up from sick bed week
or two ago, and had been in a bad
state since then. Upon learning the
facts in regard to the case, Mr.. Herr
mann decided to make no charge
against the young man, and he was
given into the custody of his father
VINO took him to Brooklyn.
