1t has been charged that the coun-

crime is the President of the United

message to Congress dealing with the
matter in which he says that neither

the revolution on the isthmus. and in
this message he showed that he feels
keenly the insinuations and insults to

tory nations have been conceded the
right to take another country when
such a country was needed for its own
safety; when they cease to follow this

Cam Spoke for Canal.
Mai. J. Ferris Cam spoke briefly in
favor of the Blum resolution. The gov
eminent of Panama is a fact, he said,
il has been recognized not only by the
President who has the authority to
do so, but, by the Senate ITSELF as
shown in the confirmation of the min

MAY BUILD NEW
COTTON MILL HERE
BOSTON MAN IN SAVANNAH.
WAS REPRESENTING NEW ENG
LAND MILL OWNERS.

Says That "A Delegation of Mill own

of Establishing Cotton MiIIs-Mil
May Be Located Near Savannah.
Northern Mills Cannot Compete
with Those of South - win

Goods Mil Would Be Erect
ed During This Year to Cost
$3OO,OOO.
Mr.. Z. S. Babb, Jr, of Boston spent
yesterday in Savannah with the view
of selecting a suitable location for a
cotton mill which Northern capitalists
contemplate building during this year.
Mr.. Babb is confidential clerk to one
of the largest mill owners in the New
England states and was sent here to
look over the territory at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Miles Standish of New
Bedford, Mass, who recently spent
several days in Savannah.
The cotton mill which the New Eng
landers expect to build, Mr.. Babb says,
will cost in the neighborhood OF $780,
900, and will turn out the highest
grade of cotton goods Mr.. Babb was
very favorably impressed with Savan-
nah and visited several suitable loca-
tions for a cotton mill on the Thun-
derbolt road He was satisfied that
there would be no trouble in finding
a desirable site for the mill, but the
question of labor, he declared, was the

TO Investigate Labor Situation.
Mr.. Babb will make his report to
his employers in Boston and he said he
expected a party of cotton mill owners
to visit the state Of Georgia in a few
weeks to investigate the labor situa-
ton with the view of establishing cot
ton mills in this state. He said he be-
lieved the towns of 1000 and 5000 in
habtants were more preferable as the
mill employees were able. to secure
cheaper rent and all their living ex-
penses were much more reasonable
than in a city.
Mr.. Babb declared that the high
price Of cotton and the high wages
demanded by labor in the New Eng
land States made 1t almost impossible
to compete with the Southern cotton
mills. The result, he said, will be that
the New England mills will be forced
to move South, where they can secure
cheaper labor and save the freight on
the raw material.
Would start n settlement.
He said IL a mill was erected here 1t
would be several miles from the city
and houses would be built for the ope-
ratiyes so as to rent at a very low rate.
Only the highest grade of cotton goods
would be manufactured and the goods
would be shipped to Boston and dis
posed Of through the Boston mills
The New England capitalists. he is
quite sure, will investigate the field
here, and that he believes the chances
are good for the mill to be erected in
the vicinity Of Savannah.
Mr.. Babb refused to furnish the
names of the parties he was represent
ing, as he said he had only been sent
here TO look over the ground, and make
a report as TO the chance TO secure
desirable location, and to look into la
Dor conditions .

AT THE THEATER;

A performance of only moderate in
terest was Sadie Martinot's produce
ton of His Excellency the Governor"
Miss Martinez succeeded in looking ex-
tremely pretty, and her gowns were
charming, as were the other gowns
music hall singer adventuring into
society, was somewhat overdone as to
affectation. though humorous and
graceful at times.
1t was the fault of the play, rather
than Miss Martinot's that it was
somewhat stupid. 1t was lit
tie more than a farce and
not a very funny one, the lines
that were intended to be witty often
falling rather fiat. Miss Martinez re-
deemed it from other dullness and
made much of it really quite anus
ing. There was a lack of spontane-
ity, almost an amateurishness, about
some of the cast that did not add
to enjoyment.
One of the most startling features of
the play was the remarkable resem-
blance the man in the title role bore to
President Roosevelt. This resemblance
was not due wholly to makeup, though
in dressing the part the actor, of
course, appeared in the conventional
attire of the statesman. The audience
almost gasped with amazement. Few
probably have seen Mr.. Roosevelt, but
they are familiar with his appearance
through many newspaper and magazine
illustrations. There was that in the
manner the speech. the smile" and
strike the popular acceptation of the
characteristics of the President.

Now York. Nov. l6.-Two Skeletons an 4
a hsnsom cab will be introduced as evil
dence when Nan Patterson, the ''Floro-
dora" actress, is placed on trial before
Justice Davis in the criminal branch or
the supreme court.
One of the skeletons is now in the office
Of Assistant District Attorney Garvan in
the criminal court house, the other in the
office OF Lawyer Abraham Levy. in the
Pulitzer building. The cab is the one in
which IL is alleged Nan Patterson killed
Caesar Young, the California bookmaker.
for whose murder the young woman was
indicted
There was a manslaughter case on. and
last night Mr.. Levy was told that II
would take all day to submit the evil
deace in that case In that event Nan

The actress is ready to go TO trial. She
said So She had a new costume made for
her appearance In court II is a quiet af-
fair-all black, with just the slightest
white fringe down the waist. Her hat is
a large black one, with big black os-
trich feather
Il am longing to submit my case TO the
Jury" she said, "Of course. expect to be
free. I am innocent OF the awful charge
against me. There is only one thing that

poor old dad will be in court and have to
listen 10 all that ! know Mr.. Rand will
say about me-"
Mr.. Garvan and Mr. Rand questioned
a score OF the prosecutions witnesses in
their offices. To illustrate his contention
that Young could not have fired the fatal
shot and that Nan Patterson must have
killed him, the prosecutor has procured
a skeleton.
Mr.. Levy has a number OF experts who
will swear that Young could have in
fiicted the wound, and has hired another
skeleton. Besides Mr.. Levy has requisi-
toned the hanson cab. The lawyer wants
to show the jury just how matteFs-hap-
pened that fateful morning.
II will put Miss Patterson IN the cab

MESSAGE
GIVES CLUE
TO CROOK

New Haven. Nov. ls.-It was the belief
last night that before "a hours the high
waymen who sandbagged and robbed
Henry d. Curtiss. manager OF the
Connecticut Trap Rock company. OF
Branford, on Saturday night. will be
arrested. Curtiss was able yesterday TO
give additional details to the murderous
assault upon him. and his physician be-
lieves he will recover.
II was learned that the telegram pur-
porting to have been sent to Curtlss by
the general manager OF the company,
Harry f. Adams. OF Brighton. Boston,
requesting Curtiss 10 meet him at the
companys office Saturday night on i'm
portant business, was sent from this city
to East Haven, then telephoned 70 the
company's office.
Curtiss did not go armed 10 the office,
as was his custom al night, because he
Intended to take the trolley. but he missed
the car. On the way he was met by a
stranger. who grabbed him by the neck
and at the same time was felled from
the rear. He believes he can Identify
the man who choked him.
General Manager Adams and Mavin VI.
Johnson. also OF Boston, vice president
and attorney for the company, had a
conference with the Western Union
officials OF this city 10 see II they could
identify the man who sent the bogus
telegram.
From an outside source they have
obtained a very good description OF the
men who are supposed 10 have robbed
Mr. curtiss, and they believe they know
at least one OF the men implicated in
the hold-up and the firing OF the office
building.
Mr. Adams says this man is well ac-
quainted with his habit OF wiring Curtiss
70 meet him at almost any hour OF the
day or night He also knew that Mr.
Curtiss nearly always carried from 500
TO $500 with him 70 meet current expenses
at the plant. The man under suspicion
has some mark on him by which he may
easily be identified. and this was seen
by Curtiss on the man who choked him.
II was found yesterday that six gallons
OF kerosene oil, that was kept In the
office, had been poured into and around
the safe, the robbers making sure that
nothing could save the building once the
blaze was started.
This was all done while the watchman
George Keyes. who is a relative TO Cur
tiss, was temporarily absent The watch
dog was left in the office. but after the
Are was found outside the building alive.
The town OF East Haven has decided 70
offer reward for the capture of the rob-
bers.
