 MAKE A PROFIT
PRESIDENT GEORGE 3. HISS, IN HIS ANNUAL ADDRESS, RECON. MENDED THE GENERAL cURTAL- MENT OF MANUFACTURING.

Charlotte, N. C., May 14.-Four hundred and seventy-nine members and visitors are attending the seventh annual eonyen- ton of the Southern Cotton spinners' as- sociation, which commenced here today The spinners present represent a wealth of $1,000 100000 and over 10 00O 900 spindles President George B. Hiss in his annual address recommended the general curtail- ment of cotton manufacturing.
 MT. Hiss declared that at the present high price of cotton and the low price of the manufactured product 1t is impossible for the manufacturers to make reason able profit. A great majority of the spin ners agreed with. MT. Hiss.
 Leonard B. Paulson. a member of the firm of Buckingham, Paulson & Co. of New York city, takes different view of the situation.
 Give the patient time and It will con valesce on Its own account" was MT. Paulson's laconie reference to the market He added:
 If they are losing why is 1t that most of the mills are adding improvements and building extensions?'
 It Is probable that at tomorrow's meet ing the name of the association will be changed to the American Cotton Manufac- turers' association.

SHIPWRECkED CREW SAFE.
Sailors on the Brigantine Bertha Gray
 Had Thrilling Rescue.

Norfolk, Va, May 1.-The British steamship St. Oswald, from Mobile for Norfolk, arrived here today with the crew of the shipwrecked British brigan..ne Bertha Gray, from Jacksonville to St. Kitts, Island of Martinique. For nearly a week Captain Richards and the men aboard the British sailing craft were tossed about at the mercy of wind and wave. The vessels rigging was gone and the hull water-logged. Salt water pour ing in between the decks, quickly spoiled their food and rendered their supply of fresh water useless.
 The Nova Scotia mariners had about abandoned all hope of safety when the St. Oswald hove in sight and responded to their signals of distress. The brigan- tine was abandoned off the Georgia coast.
 The rescue of the shipwrecked sailors was a thrilling one in the extreme and was attended by great risks on the part of the crew of the St. Oswald. The waves were running mountain high and the wind still blowing gale when Q life boat was lowered from the St. Oswald's davits The boat made two trips from the wreck to the steamer. Three men were taken off first and four on the second trip. They were found clinging to the rigging.

 Heavy as Was Thought.


 Jacksonville Fla, May 14.-The city is still in total darkness. but the repairs at the electric light works will be completed sufficiently to turn on the lights to- morrow night

 Railroads Gin the city) $2O.o00.
 Railroads (near the city) s65,OO0.
 Wholesalers and freight in yards s35.- coo.

 The bridges in the city are found stand ing and not badly damaged. They were submerged, and before the water sub sided were supposed to have been badly wrecked.
 The railroads are hauling out by the solid train loads the water hyaciRthes that were washed into their yards. It will take at least 25O flat ears to re- move them.

INTERNAL MACHINE
 MADE IN THE WEST
POLICE OFFICIALS OF CHICAGO
 ARE WORKING INDUSTRlOUSLY TO FIND RUSSELL OR RoUS- SEAU, WHO MADE THE DEVICE.

Chicago, May 14-Working on what they believe to be positive information that the internal machine found on the ocean liner Umbria was made on the west side in Chicago, police officials are hopeful that they will be able to find the man Russell, or Rousseau who made the device. To- day George w. McCluskey, chief of de- tectives of New York, and Detective Ser geants Funston and Cary of the same city, reached Chicago in an endeavor to surprise the maker of the machine before it became known here that there was clue leading to this city. In this they were disappointed.
 Chief McCluskey communicated with Lieut. Rohan and then made an investi- gation personally. He is confident that the internal machine was made, or at least completed in the rooming house at 287 Washington boulevard. kept by MT. and Mrs. Harry Ehlen, though he is doubtful if the plot was thought out in Chicago. After making hurried in- vestigation here, Chief McCluskey left for New York.
 Detectives Funston and Cary had long conference with Lieut.. Rohan, whom they informed that in their opinion Russell and Rousseau were the same man. They believe after the completion of the machine Russell went to New York and may still be in that city
 They have information that he received mail here, and they are endeavoring to learn how long he was in Chicago prior to taking a room at Mrs. Ehlen's. The detectives thought so complicated piece of mechanism as the internal machine was shown to be could not have been com pleted in seven days and that the incep- ton was at some place other than at the Washington boulevard boarding house.
 A Mrs. Perkins who three years ago occupied the premises at 295 Washington boulevard. which Is a portion of the build ing in which Russell Is supposed to have constructed the machine, said today that three years ago a man who answered the description now given of Russell rented a room from her and after three days disappeared in a mysterious manner. Af- ter he had gone she found three sticks of dynamite In the room. She called the po- lice and they took the explosive away.
