Charlotte, n. c., December 5.-The in
dications are that Tuesdays meeting of
the cotton men to consider the advisa-
blity of curtailing production will be
largely attended, the rise in the price
OF cotton during the past few days
probably causing the attendance to be
larger than it would have been other
wise. In addition to mill men from all
over the South. it is expected that
manufacturers and commission men
from the North and East will be pres
ent. The movement looking to a cur
failing of the production of the South
ern mills is being watched with a
great deal of interest by New England
manufacturers and it is expected that
any agreement for curtailing that may
be entered into at the meeting here
next Tuesday will include quite num-
Der of Northern mills.
1t is expected that the cotton mills
will be more largely represented than
the yarn mills, since the latter as q
than the former.
1t is estimated that about 20 per cent.
Of the Southern mills have a sufficient
amount of cotton bought to run them
until next summer and it is not expect
ed that any Of these mills will agree
| to curtail their production. Neither are
| the mills which have contracts to fill,
! in a position to curtail or shut down.
| A gentleman who is connected with
one of the largest cloth mills in the
| South said today:
| THE situation is critical, view it any
way you may. Taken as a whole, 1 be-
lieve the condition confronting US today
| is the worst in twenty-five years. The
only remedy 1 see is a general curtail-
| ment, the chief benefit from that being
that the mills could run at a smaller
| loss. What makes it worse for the
South is that the mills in every other
| part of the cotton manufacturing world
are better off. so far as supplies of raw
material are concerned, than we are.
Early in the season when we were hold

Washington, December 5.-The
Gridiron Club entertained more than
one hundred and sixty guests at its
December dinner at the Arlington
Hotel tonight. The evening was re-
plete with unique features, in when
public events and the alleged am
bitions and aspirations of statesmen
were made subjects of burlesque and
good natured ridicule The initiation
of three new members afforded all
opportunity to .picture the inside OF
a newspaper office. in which the staff
discussed methods of interviewing
many of the guests present.
The republic Of Panama suddenly
appeared at the dinner and was rec
ognized by the Republican elephant,
amidst the protests and brays OF the
Democratic donkey. The Gridlron
Club flying machine was brought III
and number of prominent guess
were given an opportunity to test It,
the course being to the White House,
but all met with a mishap before
reaching the goal. Moving pictures
illustrated some recent events, pol1u-
cal and social. a New York police
man appeared and hung a red light
directly over the place where Leader
Murphy of Tammany and Mayor
elect Mcclellan were sittin. There was
a number of brilliant and witty
speeches and the evening was inter-
spersed with topical songs.
Amidst the festivities the lights
were turned down and a large picture
| of William E. Amin and Hub l.
| Smith members who died during the
| past year were thrown on a screen
| and a short and impressive eulogy was
| delivered by Major John NJ. Carson
| in which reference was made TO the
! fact that Mr.. Amin was once presi-
| dent of the club and Mr.. Smith one
of its valued members. The picture:
faded away and as the club sang one
of Hub Smiths songs, the lights agair
| flashed and the mirth proceeded.
Among the guests present were tn

mer Durand: the Chinese minister
Sir Chen Tung Liang-Cheng, Barol
Won Giskara, Austrian legation; Sen
ators Hanna, German, Bacon, Warren

PLOT TO REVOLT DISCOVERED.
A Few Army Officers Were Trying
to Persuade the Panama Garrison
to Play False.

Colon, December 5.-Through a letter,
the Panama government has discovered
what is alleged to have been plot
against the life Of General Huertas,
commander-in-chiefo Of the forces OF the
Republic of Panama and an effort on
the part of a few army officers to per-
suade the garrison at Panama to re-
volt. If such a plot really existed, 1t
was promptly nipped in the bud by the
apprehension today at Panama OF four
alleged conspirators who were immed1-
lately brought under guard to Colon
and shipped hence to Port Limon, COSTA
Rica The prisoners were members OF
the Colombian battalion which gave its
support to the new government Wnen
the republic was formed and whlch was
commanded by General Huertas- They
declare that the charge that they were
engaged in a, conspiracy is the work of
personal enemies

DIFFER ABOUT WOOD
ON OTHER MATTER, ROOSEVELT
AND HANNA AGREE.
Their Recent Conference Causes
Speculation Among the Politicians.
Position of Perry Heath Uncer-
tain.

Washington, December 5.-Senator
Hanna'S conference with the President
last night aroused the keenest inter
est among Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress and among politicians
generally.
It can be said that at last nights con-
ference, only incidental reference was
made to matters of concern to the Re
publican national committee AS TO
Perry S. Heath's connection with the
national committee as secretary, IL Is
understood the President does not care
to assume a position. MI. Heath is an
officer of the committee and the Pres
ident thinks the committee amply quail
flied to take care Of it's own affairs,
without suggestion from him. 1t Is un-
derstood definitely that Mr.. Heath, in
any event, Will not be a candidate again
for secretary of the committee.
Senator Hanna today authorized the
Associated Press to state that the Pres
ident and himself discussed a number
of things legislative and political
| While they differ on the subject OF the
| confirmation of General Wood, there
| is no misunderstanding between them
and nothing indicating break in their
| relations, such as has been reported.

WILL TRY TO FLY AGAIN
PROF. LANGLEY'S AERODROOlE
HAS BEEN PATCHED UP.
And the First Time Weather Con-
ditions Are Favorable. Another At
tempt to Launch it Will be Made

Washington, December 5.-The big
sixty foot aerodrome of Professor
Samuel P. Langley, the secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, which
was unsuccessfully launched several
months ago, was prepared for an
other experiment in the Potomac
near here today, but unfavorable
wind conditions prevented the test.
The machine has been put into per-
feet order, and is ready TO be hoisted
onto the Superstructure for another
trial at the first opportunity, possibly
Monday. No attemp, Viii be made
to hoist the machine into position un-
less the wind is less than twelve
miles an hour in order to avoid pos
sible danger to the men engaged in
the work.
F. NJ. Manley, Professor Langreys
researches was aboard the house
boat all day with his force Of me-
chanics. Professor Manley made OBJ
servations Of the wind velocity a
number of times during the day. but
at no time did conditions warrant
an attempt at flying.
Professor Langley said that the
time of the next attempt now hinges
on wind conditions. He credited the
trouble with the last experiment to
a metallic projection on the launch
ing track and explained that the OBJ
stacle had been removed. He said
it was not likely the experiment
would be undertaken again at Wide
water, where the wind conditions
proved so unfavOrable.

CLASSIFICATION RATINGS.
i'm the Consideration O
Ratings is Toward Reduction.

Washington, December 5.-The
Southern classification committee OF
which P ]. McGovern is chairman
has adjourned after three days ses-
sion at the Raleigh hotel
Nearly one hundred items OF cIassl-
fications were discussed by the mem
bers of the committe, and several rep
resentatives of the shipbuilding public
were heard. Reports that the classf-
fication ratings were to be advanced
as a result of this meeting were erron-
eous. In a majority of cases, the rat
ings were reduced, some changes be-
ing made in the wording to prevent
any misunderstanding as to the pur-
pose of the classification
Out of a total of ninety subjects
discussed only three changes were
made which indicates an advance, one
of these being on locomotives because
of the greatly increased weight or the
locomotives manufactured In recenk
years. The other two advances were
unimportant. The chairman states
that the tendency IN considering class
ification ratings Is in the direction OF
a reduction, and this meeting was no
exception to the rule.

Austrian Cotton Manufacturers Are
Embarrassed.

Vienna, December 5.-The Austrian
cotton manufacturers are seriously af-
fected by the advance in the American
cotton market. A majority of the man
ufacturers Were entirely unprepared for
the rise, carrying vey small stocks and
consequently they will be obliged to
restrict their output to the lowest pos
sible amount Some factories are ex-
pected to shut down temporarily. Ex-
perts say that the entire continental
cotton industry must be readjusted to
meet the new conditions and some pro-
fess to see consolation in the proba
ity that the general curtailment o'
manufactured goods will tend to
healthier condition in the cotton in
dustry of Europe.

VERY CORDIAL To REYES
THE PRESIDENTS GREETING is
OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
But the Colombian Minister is Given
No Encouragement That His
Wishes Will be Met.

Washington, December 5-General
Rafael Reyes, the special minister
from Colombia, practically initiated
his mission when he was presented
to President Roosevelt at the White
House today. The presentation took
place in the blue parlor. where all
regular ambassadors and ministers
are received, but the President in
fused so much cordiality into his
greeting that this occasion was a lit
tie out of the ordinary.
The President greeted General
Reyes informally as a former ac-
quaintance, having met him when
the general was visiting the United
States some time ago. There was
no definite proposition advanced by
the Colombians, for the President in
timated that the Panama problem
was a matter with which the state
department alone could properly
deal. The President intimated that
he saw little prospect Of being able
to meet General Reyes wishes.

EDWARD WENTX CRAZY.
Reported that the Young Millionaire
Has Been Found.

Richmond. Va. December 5.-A Bris-
toll, Tenn, special says:
It lis reported tonight that Edward
L. Wentz, the young Philadelphia mill
lionaire who had been missing since
October 18th, has been found. and he is
probably demented. According to the
report, young Wentz is either i'm Phila-
delphia or on his way there. His broth
er Daniel Wentz, went to Philadelphia
three days ago. One of the Wentz at
torneys, when asked about the matter
tonight would not deny that Wentz had
been found, but said that it might be
so. Further than this he would not ex-
press himself.
It appears that WentZ has been n
hiding in the mountains not far from
Finney. station on the Clinch Valley
division of the Norfolk and Western
railroad.

ton manufacturers here have received
circulars from manufacturers in North
Carolina, inviting them to attend a
meeting to be held in Charlotte, n. c.,
next Tuesday, to consider some plan
for a united curtailment to meet the
cotton crop conditions. Two of the
local mill owners have gone to North
Carolina in an unofficial capacity but it
IS said here that if they report any
strength in the movement in the South
1t is possible that an effort will be made
to bring. about favorable action on a
curtailment proposition.

ing off for lower prices, the continental
spinners came into the market and
purchased their cotton, and today, no
matter where price of cotton may go,
they can manufacture cloth at a cost
Of from two to three cents a pound less
than we can. Inasmuch as not more
than a third of the American cotton
crop is consumed in this country, we
are in no position whatever to control
the market, especially the export goods.
AS I see it, the only hope for us now is
to curtail production and run our plants
