CARTER AT OYSTER BAY
GOVERNOR OF HAWAII CALLED
ON THE PRESIDENT TODAY.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 24-Gov. Geo.
r. Carter of Hawaii was caller on Pres1-
dent Roosevelt today. He came to the
United States for the express purpose of
presenting to the President a statement of
the difficulties he has encountered as gov
ernor of Hawaii Since his appointment to
succeed Gov. Sanford B. Dole, who was
designated a United States judge for the
district of Hawaii, Gov. Carter has had
trouble with both the citizens and the off,
cials of the territory.
1t eliminated in his determination to re-
sign the governorship, and he so informed
President Roosevelt. The matter was con-
sidered for a time and then arrangement
was made by which Gov. Carter was to
ccme to the United States to discuss the
Hawaiian situation with the President. He
is here in accordance with that arrange
ment.
Gov. Carter's desire is not much to re-
sign his official duties to obtain from the
President assurances that his administra-
ton shall have the support of the national
government.
The governor arrived from New York IN
time to take luncheon with the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt.

S. B. Bryant, secretary American Cotton
Manufacturers Association. Charlotte. n. &.
r. NJ. Miller, jr., president of the Ameri-
can Manufacturers and chairman of the
delegation, when seen by Star reporter
shortly before the conference explained the
position of the cotton manufacturers con-
cerning the jugglery of cotton crop esti-
mates issued by the bureau of statistics. He
did not say however, what course of action
would be followed by the manufacturers
until after the conference with Secretary
Wilson.
I'VE want the facts about this scandal"
declared Mr.. Miller, land propose to fight
for the rights of the cotton manufacturers
of this country. After our conference we
shall determine whether or not to ask for
a revised report on the cotton estimates.
The position of the cotton manufacturers
is plain and similar to that of the cotton
growers. We are not making fight an
tagonistic to the cotton producers. but on
the other hand are lined up with them on
the question of clearing this department of
its corruption. 1t is reasonable that we
should not tolerate a fluctuation in the
price of cotton due to leaks. and If we make
fight it will be to protect the concerns
we represent from being made victims of
unreliable and dishonest reporting"

Report Says Anglo-French Alliance is
His Bugaboo.

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS. July 24-The st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Matin says:
After having been in fear of an Anglo
French alliance. the kaiser now breads a
possible alliance between Japan and Rus
STA. II was for this reason that he pro-
posed to the czar that they should meet.
Friends of peace here fear that the czar
may return to Russia encouraged to con-
tinue hostilities by the words of EN-
perOr William. The latter. on the other
hand. is believed TO be very anxious regard
ing the progress of the revolutionary move
ment In Russia"
Jean Juares, the socialist leader, writing
In his paper, L'Humanite, says:
IT Is heavy responsibility that VILLA m
assumes In accepting proposal to meet the
car, for the whole world will think that If
Nicholas. infatuated and unbalanced makes
an appeal to his German cousin IL will be In
order TO ask his advice on domestic as well
as foreign policy; and IL is known or at any
rate Imagined, that the weak will of the
car VIII not be able to resist the firmer or
at least more vehement will of his inter
locutor on this occasion
The Eclair says;
The grave misfortune of Nicholas IL has
emanated so directly from London that ne
will have no difficulty In clasping the hand
that William proffers him."

LITTLE HOPE FOR HOCH.
Condemned Man is Still Confident of a
Rehearing.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 4-Those who have fol-
lowed the case of Johann Hoch. now in the
county jail under sentence to be hanged
next Friday for the murder Of his wife,
express little hope Of further reprieve
and believe that the sentence will be car
ried out at the appointed time.
Hoch, however, in the face of his i'm
pending doom. loudly proclaims his inno-
cence and has not lost hope that Governor
Deneen will grant him further time In
which to get together the money necessary
to enable him to have his-case reviewed
by the state supreme court.
Th cost of the appeal will be more than
81 1,00O and it is doubtful If the money can
be raised.
