IS UNABLE TO APPEAR
MRS. MAVERICK HAS RHEUMATISM
 IN THE KNEE.
Threatened With Ossihcation of the Bone, She Cannot Yet Take an Active Part fin Her Mothers
 Suit.

Washington. May 1S.--The taking of testimony in the case of the Baroness von Roque. mother of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, against D. w. Armstrong and others for the recovery of certain lands in Kentucky and Virginia, was resumed today before a notary. for use in the Chancery Court at Richmond, Va.
 Mrs Maybrick was unable to appear. The attorney for the plaintiff submit ted an affidavit made by a New York physician stating. that Mrs. Maybrick is suffering with rheumatism of the knee and threatened justification of the bone. In a letter to the counsel. the physician says the trouble is due, no doubt, to the menial labor his patient had been compelled to perform while she was an inmate of an English prison.
 The proceedings before the notary were interrupted by an adjournment to the District Supreme Court, where application was made to Justice Bar nard to compel the appearance of J. H Walter and the production by him of an alleged contract by which he agreed to supply the funds for the prosecution of the case against MT. Armstrong. MT Walter had been subpoaened but failed to appear. His counsel w. NJ Will Hams, was put on the stand and de- clined to produce the contract on the ground that any papers In his possess sion in relation to the case came to him by reason of his position as the coun- sel for MT. Walter.
 When the matter was submitted to Justice Barnard, 1t appeared that at the time Mr. Walter was summoned he had not been t9ndered a fee for former attendance as a witness. Therefore, the court declined to issue the writ for an attachment, but directed that an- other summons be issued and, accom- panied with the required witness fee. served on MT. Walter for his appear ance on June 6, to which date Justice Barnard adjourned the proceedings
 At o'clock this afternoon the exam ination of Mir. Williams was resumed before the notary, but no questions were answered affecting the interests of the witness's client. The court will determine on June 6 whether the posi- tion assumed by Attorney Williams is privileged by reason of his relation to Mir Walter,

located geographically nearer to the United States than to the countries which supply them. He further stated that the exports of the United States to many of these countries, notably to South American lands, are much less than the imports from those nations, and the preponderance of imports Is increasing at alarming rates.
 He then considered the causes of this slow progress of the export of manufactured goods from this country, the statement of which largely sug- gested the remedies he proposed These were, first. American manufac- turers have made tlistle effort 70 extend their markets abroad; second. the Eu- ropean competitors of the United States produce and pack their goods in form and conditions suited to the markets which they are intended to supply. This is notably true of Germany; third, the lack. particularly in Asia, Oceanica, South America and Africa, of financial institutions and machinery through which business transactions may be conducted; fourth. the fact that the manufacturers of other competi- tive countries appreciate the necessity of offering their goods through persons familiar with the language of the coun- try in which their goods are offered, and of having their printed matter Tn those languages: fifth. the lack of di- rect shipping facilities to the coun- tries where competitive markets are to be found and developed.
 As to Cotton.
 The United States today is the great est producer of raw cotton. England is the greatest manufacturer of cotton goods She buys annually 3,900.00o bales from this country. She manufac- lures this with English laoor into yarns and cloth and after supplying her home markets she exports 'nanufac- tured cotton goods to the value of s365, 100000. a product greater than that of all the American mills com- bined. A large share of thls product comes back to the United States. The United States produces three-auarters of the worlds supply of raw cotton. yet her export of manufactured cotton last year was $22.000,0o0, decrease of $10.000.000 from 1908.
 Following this con1parision. with others covering different manufactures of this country. secretary Metcalf closed with a declaration of the posi- ton occupied by the Department of which he is the head. to the mauufac- turing and commercial interests of the United States. It's labor and shipping interests and the fostering care which 1t extends over all.

SEED CRUsHERs ADJOURN.
,. c. Hamilton of Louisiana is Elected
 President.

President.
 New Orleans, May 1S.-Before con- cluding its annual session here today the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, in which 700 mills are rep resented, unanimously passed reso- lution urging a revision of the present tariff. The resolution was presented by the committee on tarif of which J. c. Cash of New York was chairman.
 SThe report urged that 8 memorial be presented to the State Department asking the exercise of its influence to stay the prohibitive Austro-Hungarian tariff, which has raised the duty on American cotton seed oil from 1-2 to 30 cents a gallon, and the German tariff, which is to go into effect In 1906. making an increase of 25 per cent. Under these duties exports of cotton tirely destroyed. Revision of the tariff is considered imperative. therefore, to stop European retaliation.
 This was the resolution adopted:
 Resolved, That this association does not seek to attack or overthrow the general plan of this Governments tarif policy. but 1t strongly urges that the time has come for revision"
 One of the important resolutions of the convention was the adoption of the the report of E. P. McBurney of Att lanta, chairman of a special commit tee of five, creating a bureau of pub licity. It had been strongly advocated by Chairman J. w. Allison of the Exec utive Committee, who pointed out that the principal market now was In foreign countries and if the lessons taught by Europe in the utilization of cotton seed product were known here the American field would be sufficient and more profitable. Money will be realized by the seed men to maintain the bureau and there will be an ex- tensive campaign of advertising.
 A report favorable to mutual insur- ance was presented by R. L. Heflin of Galveston at today's session and adopted. It favored cooperation of all the cotton oil mills. expressed the be- lief that the Jalonick plan was faas- ible and susceptible of great success and urged a careful investigation of the subject by every mill
 Edwin Lehman Johnson of Memphis made an address to the convention in which he said that $10,000.000 a year was lost by the heating of cotton seed. MT. Johnson said that Director North of the Census Bureau would put any data furnished by the association to the end of reducing this loss in the Government bulletins.
 These officers were elected:
 President, J. c. Hamilton of Baton Rouge, La; Vice-President, Frank H. Bailey of Paris, Tex. and Secretary. Robert Gibson of Dallas, Tex.
 The Executive Committee will decide upon the next place of meeting. A silver service was presented before the convention adjourned to retiring Pres ident c. Fitzsimmons, formerly of Co., lumbia, 8. C., and now of New York.

 The court of claims tcday rendered decision which fcsaaIly recognizes the right of the States under an act of Congress approved July 6. 1898. to recover from the United States moneys due from the States to their militia for the period of the organization of the Volunteer troops for the war with Spain. The court takes the view held in 1899 by the comptroller of the treasury that these moneys are law fully collectible by the States to be paid by them to the soldiers, nothwith- standing the United States govern ment itself under a different act has already paid the soldiers for the same period.
 On May 1st. after elaborate argu- ment. the court in case of an officer suing for the pay due him from the United States directly allowed the claim although the claimant had been paid by his State and the State had been reimbursed by the United States for this expenditure. Pending tho trial of that case the treasury de- partment had referred to the court of claims a claim of the State of New Jersey for reimbursement of the amount or It's llaDlllty 10 US troops and 1t was on this claim that the court of claims today rendered its de- cision. in which the same principles are applied as in the other case
 The decision today openes the way to the collection by the States of the money due from them to their soldiers which they are. by the terms of the re- impursement act, obligated to pay di- rectly to the men without converting it into the State treasuries.
 Most of the States long ago col- Iected the money to pay their troops. The original act had a limit to Jan uary 1, 1902. for the presentation of the claims of the government account ing officers and about one-third of the States failed to present their claims within the prescribed time. For the benefit of the latter an act was passed in April, 1904, extending the time for the filing of the claims until January 1. 1908. Their claims have since been filed under this act, but the treasury oficers have felt constrained to refer the matter to the court of claims for an adiudicatlon of their rights to re- cover.
 Among the States which will share the benefits of this decision are Ala bama, Georgia, and Virginia for the whole amount of the pay due by them to their troops and Arkansas, Tennes- see and Mississippi with respect to some unpaid items,
