Mills To curtalI output.

New Geuford, Mass.-A meeting of
the Cotton manufacturers association
was held Nov. 26 for the purpose Of
considering curtailment in the cloth
mills. The subject was discussed for
nearly an hour, after which the fol
lowing statement was given out:
1T is the sense of the meeting that
curtailment would be beneficial and a
number of the mills will close We'd
nesday for the remainder of the week.
Some cannot close, owing to fear Of
cancellation Of contracts In force"
So far as naming the mills which
come under the conditions cited above,
it is impossible to say, as the treas
urers in attendance at the meeting did
not care to talk, but it is probable
that in most instances portions of the
mills win be closed, while in some it
is said every department will Shut
down for the remainder of the week.
Among the mills expected to remain
in operation are the Bristol and Acush-
net, which are engaged on contract
work

Franconia, N, H.-The widely.
known Franconia Inn at Sugar Hill
was early Tuesday completely de.
stroyed by fire. The entire structure
together with all its furnishings was
consumed in the flames The loss is
believed to be $4,000, The insurance
is only for $2S,OO0.
Robert T. Pickett. owner of the
inn, lives during the winter in a cot
tage nearby, and was aroused at All
early hour to find the hotel building
was burning. He attempted to reach
the Littleton fire department, seven
miles away, by telephone, but found
a heavy storm had cut off communica-
tion.
Within an hour the inn had become
a mass of ruins. Its owner and neigh
bors who tried to help were unable
to save anything.
The great blaze could be seen as
far distant as 20 miles, owing to the
high elevation upon which the build
ing stood. As yet the cause of the
fire has not been determined. There
had been no one in the building for
more than week, so far as is
known. 1t is the general opinion that
the blaze was either set by an incen-
diary or caused by spontaneous com.
bustiop
The Franconia Inn was formerly
known as the Goodnow House. 1t
had accommodations for 300 guests.
1t was popular place with summer
tourists because of it's convenient sit
uation on the southeasterly slope of
Sugar Hill, where It commanded views
of the peaks of four ranges.

pepoeed PreeIdent a suicide.

New YoTk-HOward Maxwell, de-
posed president Of the Borough bank
of Brooklyn, who was under indict-
ment for grand larceny and forgery and
was released from jail on $4,000 bail,
committed suiciu Nov, 26. He cut
his throat and left wrist with a razor
and penknife in the bathroom at his
home in Brooklyn, and died later at
the Long Island college hospital.
Maxwell, who was locked up last
Thursday, had felt his humiliation
keenly and during his Incarceration
had appeared hopelessly despoudent.
He had, however, given his family
no intimation, so far as is known, that
he contemplated killing himself. His
wife, left penniless, is prostrated by
the tragedy.
Following so soon upon the suicide
of Charles T. Barney the resigned
president of the Knickerbocker trust
company, this suicide caused a
sensation among financial and busi-
nose mon.
Maxwell was 40 years old and leaves
his wife, but no children.
Nov. 21 he was jointly indicted for
grand larceny with ex-Cashier Arthur
Campbell and Director William Cow
of the Borough bank. There were
other indictments against him, in
volving forgery in quarterly bank
statement made to the state banking
department When these three men
were arraigned, Campbell and Cow
secured bondsmen, but to the surprise
of many who knew of MaxwelPs pop
ularity in financial circles and social
ly, none offered to go upon his bond.
For some time only his four sisters
came to his aid. Offering the home
left them by their mother, who died
three days after the Borough bank
suspended, they could secure only a
$4,000 bond.
This desertion on the part of men
to whom he had looked for loyalty, it
is said, embittered and depressed Max
well, and the dependency increased
before his release was brought about.
AT his arraignment MaxwelPs coun-
sci stated that his client had put up
every dollar in the world he possessed
to secure the bank, and that he had
absolutely stripped himself to protect
the institution. Later, on the way to
his cell, Maxwell is said to have
borrowed SO with which to buy a
meal or two from a nearby restaurant.
At the time he had declared that he
did not have cent with which to
provide himself any extras outside the
prison fare. His humiliation was ag.
gravated when, like a common fe'on,
he was measured by the Bertillon sys-
tenn and his pedigree placed in tho
jail records.
Maxwell had been regarded as one
of the rising financiers Of Brooklyn.
The home in which he killed himself
was recently made over to the BOr-
ough bank. Maxwell's wife, who mar
ried him shortly after he became a
bank president in the process of set
tlement of the Borough bank affairs,
signed with him all the release deed {
to realty that stood in his name, so
that she is today penniless,
