COTTON MILL SITUATION,
Curtalment Not Alone Confined to
New England States.

Fall River June 12.-The Fall River
Herald, yesterday. printed an interest
ing and carefully review of the cotton
cloth producing conditions of New Eng
land, which tends to indicate that cur
tailment is not alone confined to this
center, though the curtailment here is
Still on in its fullest extent. From the
general movement, it would appear that
the market ought to respond soon to so
notable a reduction in production.
1t has been stated many times, says
the Herald, that the present curtail-
ment of production in the cotton mills
of the world is general one, in Amer
lean mills, French, German and Eng
lish mills, and that it has been greatly
prolonged in this city, But some facts
gathered from different sections of New
England within a fortnight show that
Fall River mills are only suffering in
common with other mills elsewhere I'm
this country, the facts about Southern
mills having come from the vice presi-
dent of the American Cotton Manufac-
turers Association, Arthur H. Lowe
of Fitchburg. He recently returned
from a trip through the South and his
exceptional advantages for knowing
just what is going on in mill properties
lends considerable interest to his state
ments.
He says that he knows that the cur
tailment of production in Southern
mills has been very extensive, espec-
tally in the Southern mills that are
small and are not managed with the av-
erage skill. Many of these mills sold
out what cotton they had on hand and
are now awaiting raw material from
the new crop, which they hope to pur-
chase at low prices.
The mills of Lewiston, Me-, We're
closed from "a to 80 days during the
water at all. 1t was a very severe Win
ter there and the lack of rain from Au-
gust onward stopped many mills.
Some time between now and Septem-
her the mills there expect to close at
least two weeks and possibly longer.
They take water from the same canal
and will close together. The small An
drOsCOggin mill has not been running
for four months.
The great Pepperell and Laconia
mills of Biddefori, which make more
goods for export than any New Eng
land concern. have been running but
five-sixths of their capacity for three
months. The Edwards mill in Augusta
is TO stop two months, beginning July
IS. The Cabot mills in Brunswick, Me-,
were running but four days a week.
Some smaller concerns in the State
have been running two-thirds time or
half time for several weeks.
In New HAMPSHIRE the COcheco
Manufacturing Company of Dover has
been curtailng for several weeks by
running different departments alter
nate weeks. The print works were
partially closed but are now running
again. This concern is to start a new
velvet mill about the first of July. In
SomersWOrth and Salmon Falls the
mills have not been running in full.
but will probably go on short time be-
fore the cotton season ends. In Man
chester the mills are running infull,
but in SuncoOk and Newmarket short
time has been the rule.

OAHU TRAINS
MOVE CAUTIOUSLY

Although trains are now running
from end to end on the Oahu Railway,
the speed is greatly reduced owing to
the track not yet being in perfect con-
dition. The first train from Honolulu
to Kahuku since the storm untitled the
track for use, went over the line on
Tuesday, leaving here at 9:15 and ar
irving at Waialua about 2:3O p. m.
The train which left WaiaIua yester-
day morning at a. M. en- route to Ho-
nolulu, did not reach the city until 1880
a. m. Deputy Sheriff Andrew Cox, who
was a passenger on the train, states
that the passage was very slow, espe-
cially near Mokuleia and Makana,
the train merely crawling along.
Superintendent Dennison is working
hard to repair the railroad and the
weak places are being tamped and
strengthened. In few days the trains
will be running at their normal speed.

PATTON WOULD
FIGHT BARRY

Mike Patton, who fought Barry on
Christmas night in friendly contest,
is anxious to have a match fight with
the champion. He says that if he is
assured of fight he will not only fight
Barry now, but will take on the winner
also remain in town.
In letter to the Advertiser, Patton
states that when he went into the ring
with Barry, he was not in condition at
ing then for a fight, while Barry on the
other hand was in splendid condition.
That ne fouled Barry was uninten-
tional and he regretted that such q
his name. He says he has fought in
the ring off and on for ten years, and
that was the first time he had ever
made a foul. Paton's letter is as fol-
lows:

into the fight with Dave Barry a few
days before Christmas. The manage
ment came to me and said they were
going to pull off a show on Christmas
night, and knowing that Weday and
Barry We're matched for New Years
night, I consented to go on. There was
fleet of war-vessels in port at the
time and they wanted to pull off the
show while they were here. They told
me they had seen Weday and Barry
to pull off the fight on Christmas night,
but Weday's manager would not con
sent TO let him go on until New Years
1 was induced to go on with Barry.
feeling that it was merely to be a box
ing exhibition. 1 was not in a condi-
ton to fight a man in the best of con-
dition. Well we went into the ring
and Barry came at me, and-Well, you
know the rest in regard to my fouling
him. Who is the man that would not
lose his head being caught on this kind
of proposition? 1 can say have been
in the boxing business going on ten
years and never attempted to commit d
foul on any one, or even a dirty trick
and 1 myself would feel like throwing
a man out of the ring who would com
NIT any kind of a foul.
L am very sorry that I attempted to
foul Barry. and if given another chance
with him [ will be in condition to fight
him when the gong sounds to get To

Builders Exchange viii
Urge Governor
to Do So.

"Patronize Home Industry" is the
slogan of the Builders and Traders Ex-
change, which will be made the basis
of conference to be held shortly be-
tween the Governor and representatives
of the Exchange. Recent bids for ma
terials for public works. in which main
land firms have competed with local
business houses, have aroused the Ex-
change members to action, and they
will endeavor 10 have the government
advise the departments to give the To-
cal firms the advantage of the bidding.
The Exchange feels keenly on the
question of the taxpayers money going
to non-residents, supply houses and
contractors VINO do not contribute to
the support of the country. There is
a growing sentiment among the Elk
change members, as well as business
men and taxpayers in general, that ev-
cry dollar of the expended government
REVENUES, WHICH Cetil pOSSlDIy De kept

There are merchants here with heavy
stocks sufficient to supply the needs of
the community, including government
wants, and there are contractors with
extensive and expensive operating
plants, such as the Honolulu Iron
Works and Cation & NefIl These con-
Germs must make a living and get in

withdrawal of possible contracts from
local bidders, under conditions by which

a direct monetary loss to the commu-

The Exchange recently passed a reso-
