Big Deal COnsummated Yester-
day for Csntrevl||e Plant
CREDITORS To Be PAID IN FULL
The Purchaser Now One Of the Largest
Cotton Manufacturers In the World, and
Controls Nearly Half a Million Splndles

A deal which was practically closed
yesterday transferring the Centreviile
rnrn of Robert T. Treat who recently as
signed. to Robert Knight makes the lat
ter the largest individual cotton manu-
facturer Of the world, with an unbroken
line OF mills and buildings for
over four miles in Pawtuxet Valley
alone. The total number OF spindles at
Centreville Is 3l,744. which come to him
by this deal making his holding at cum
servative estimate 400, SIS spindles and H.
237 looms
In connection with the assignment re-
Gently Mr. Treat states he took this
course 70 benefit his creditors ana ac-
cording to those who are conversant with
the matter there will be ample funds
from this deal TO pay all claims and leave
a considerable bonus for Mr.. Treat.
It is stated also that no papers had
passed and the exact amount was not
given out but that the sum will be SUM-
cient IL an assured fact.
For week or more rumors regarding
the sale of the mill TO Mr. Knight have
been circulated. growing probably out OF
a visit to the plant which he recently
paid with Col Robert E. Taft. who is
member with the cotton king. of a COM
mittee appointed by the Treat creditors
to formulate plan Of action
The matter did not come to a head until
yesterday and when the matter was con-
cluded, Senator Treats career as n cot
ton manufacturer was brought TO a close.
He will proceed to devote his time and
energy to the coal business which he re-
Gently embarked in.
The plant. which IL now about 10 pass
under the control OF Robert knight
came into the possession OF Senator
Treats granduncle, the late Benedict
Lapham, IN 1852. At that time the plant
consisted of small wooden mill wh:ch
for years has been used for other pur-
poses. A stone factory was erected in
1861 and the large new mill I'm 1871. In
1888 Benedict Lapham died and Enos Lap
ham became the sole owner OF the prop
erty. Under his management ii contin-
ued as II had from the beginning a uni
formly successful concern, and IL was
known as unique in its way for two reas-
ons-!t was the largest cotton mill in the
state owned by a single individual and II
was one OF the few valley manufactures
which at one time or another had not been
closed because of financial difficulties.

With sturdy hands the ploughman holds
The handles of his plough
His trousers hang in baggy folds.
And burrows mark in baggy folds,
But with the hope that toiling brings
He labors on, out there,
Where Natures putting on the things
That help TO make her fair.
The ploughmans shoulders droop. his
eyes
Have no exultant fire,
And oft he strajghtens up and sighs,
Perhaps for something higher.
He scrapes the damp earth from his
boots
And then goes plodding on.
And now and thon bumps into roots
That jar him pro and con.
The ploughman does not fret because
Some stock has had a slump.
But. gripping hard he sets his Jaws
And runs against a stump
or worries TIL the rein is free
From meath the gray mares tail.
Or turns a little while TO see
The chipmonk on the rail.
The smell OF burning wood floats by
Upon the tranquil air:
The crow sits with watchful eye,
O,erlooking things out there.
The ploughman scents the sweet fresh
earth,
He murmurs. Gee. there. FAM
And tolls away for all he's worth
To feed his fellow man,
brings.
The ploughman works away,
And. maybe, dreams OF splendid things
That he shall have some day:
But sweetest OF the joys he knows
Is that which comes 10 sit

TO MAKE ANOTHER
DASH FOR POLE
President Approves Leave Of Absence
For Commander R. E. Peary.
EXPEDITION LEAVES IN APRIL

Washington, Sept 7.-Commander
Robert E. Peary. U. S. N, the Arctic
explorer. will make another dash for
the north pole. Leave of absence for
three years has been granted him,
with the permission of the president.
In his letter of application for leave
of absence Commander Peary briefly
outlined his plan of action. In a
suitable ship built in one of our best
shipyards, strengthened to the maxi
mum degree and fitted with American
engines, Commander Peary hopes to
start with his expedition about the 1st
of April.
In his letter of application to Act
ing Secretary of the Navy Darling
for leave Of absence, Commander
Peary says:
81 should expect to accomplish the
distance to the pole and return in
about 100 days, or a little more, an
average travel of about 10 miles a
day. Returning, l should break the
ship out late in the season and return
home.
'If ice conditions the first year were
such as to prevent reaching the north
ern shore of Grant Land, l should
winter as far north as practicable and
force the ship to the desired location
the following year. In this event the
expedition would be gone two years"
Distinctive features of Commander
Pearys plan are the use of individual
sledees with comparatively light
loads, drawn by dogs, and the adop-
ton of Eskimo methods and costume
Acting Secretary of the Navy Oar
ling says in his letter to Commander
Peary granting leave of absence:
THE attainment of the pole shoul1
be your main object. Nothing short
will suffice. The discovery of the poles
is all that remains to complete the map
of the world.
"If it is claimed that the enterprise
is fraught with danger and privatiOn,
the answer is that geographical dis
covery in all ages has been purchased
at the price of heroic courage and
noble sacrifice. Our national pride is
involved in the undertaking, and this
department expects that you shall ac-
complish your purpose"
In an interview Commander Peary
said that the expo 'ition wcull be
made under the auspices of the Peqry
Arctic Club of New York, of which
Morris X. Jesup is president The
club will finance the expedition to the
extent of S150,OOO. which is $5O,000
more than the cost of the last trip.
