TEXTILE MILL OUTPUT IS
OVER A BILLION A YEAR.
Big Increase Coming From Addition Of
Linon Making to American Fiber and
Fabric Production.

Big Increase Coming From Addition Of
Linon Making to American Fiber and
Fabric Production.
Linen does not figure at all In tho
valuation OF $1200.O00,000 that the gov
ernment places upon the output of the
textile mills of the United Stntes--cot-
ton. wool, silk and other fiber goods, in
cluding the product of finishing and
dyeing mills. Linen appears only In
the list of imports at valuation Of
about S22O00.OOO.
1t Is a striking fact that the value
of the annual output of the American
textile mills amounts to very nearly
as much as the total capital invested
In this industry. which Is estimated at
S1,343,324,G05. The value of the textile
output of the United States Is exceed
ed only by the value of food products
and iron and steel manufactures.
The annual dividends of textile mills
exceed $S0.000,00O year, or S7,000.000
a month. not dollar of which has
been until now earned from the manu-
facture of linen from American fax.
Inc next ngureS Tor textile production,
however, Will include the output Of
the Oxford linen mills just established
In Massachusetts. These are the pio-
neer mills In the United States, en-
ploying a new process of American IN
vention which overcomes the obstacles
heretofore presented to the making OF
American linens in competition with
the cheaper labor of Russia, Belgium,
Ireland and other foreign countries.
In addition to fiber and fabrics the
Oxford mills make a linen machinery

purposes. The latter product is one
for which the medical profession has
long been looking as a substitute for
surgical cottons now In general use.
Linen is preferred for the reason that

Mr.. Pattison's Near Adventure With
an Alleged Burglar.

Mr.. Pattison's Near Adventure With
an Alleged Burglar.
Wallace M. Pattison tells this one
about dog and an almost burglar
and himself.
1t seems that out of the stiffness of
the night about the Pattison home
came the sound Of what might be
burglar In the basement.
Better go and see what that is"
said his wife uneasily; might be a
burglarp'
ooh. hardly think IT'S burglar"
reassured Pattison as he turned over
In bed and began to get awake.
Eyes" his wife returned; but, then.
It might be. Ougbtn't you to go and
Investigator
Pattlson has never gone In much for
burglar chasing. but he wasn't afraid
Of n burglar, or If he was be wasn't
going to let his wife know it. He
arose from his bed and strode bravely
forth. stubbing his great toe ever and
anon, and vice versa, as he did so.
Then he paused to think what would
be the best way to approach the bur-
glar. He thought and thought, and by
and by thought came out. He would
call little Prince. the Pattison dog. and
have him go on ahead and bark an oc-
casional bark. "Then." thought Patti
son. ''if there really Is burglar In the
basement like as not he'll run on away
before get there"
Prince up to that time didn't know
there was a burglar around. He was
sleeping soundly.
Pattison called the dog softly.
'Heah. Prince" he whispered, "heah,
heahp
But Mrs. Pattison heard the hoarse
whispers for the dog. "Why. Wallace"
she exclaimed in alarm. you're surely
not going to take Prince down with
you after the burglar"
"Why-er--ah, the fact is," bluffed
Pattison. 81 thought II took the dog
along he might help me to find the
burglar. If there's burglar around
here I want to get my hands on him."
"Yes," retorted his wife, but Prince
might run ahead and get shot"-Cleve.

DEAD TRUST USED TO
PREVENT U. S. ACTION
AGAINST VENEZUELA.

Bogy Resurreotod by Asphalt Pro-
n,oter TO ForestsiI Move on Behalf
Of Claimants Against President Cas-
tro's Government.
Little or nothing had been heard
about the asphalt trust since its col
lapse In 1901 until the recent recrudes-
cence Of the Venezuelan controversy.
Then It was suddenly discovered that
the trust was at Its devilish work
again. This time It was trying to en-
broll the United States In war with
President Castro-or SO said his repre-
sentatives here-and In Mortified tones
his press agents asked, '"Shall the
United States go to war for trustT
Perish the thought Especially should
the nation avoid going tt Avar for
dead trust, one that seven years ago
was laid in the tomb bearing the in
scription: "National Asphalt Company:
born 19O0-died 1901. Gone, but not
forgotten by the stockholders"
1t Is one of fate's choicest ironies that
fthe unsavory reputation of the Nation
al Asphalt trust has lately been dragged
forth and used as n bogy to scare off
action on behalf of the American claim
ants against Venezuela, one of these
claimants being the New York and
Bermudez company, a subsidiary con-
cern of the General Asphalt company
4, that survived the bursting Of the as
phalt bubble in 1901.
For the resurrectionist Is no other
than Amzi L. Barber promoter of the
National Asphalt company and since
its failure the associate of President
Castro in the asphalt business.
In all the annals of high finance
there is no spectacle to equal that of
n parent holding up the dissolute life
, of a bankrupt offspring as an argu-
ment to show that he (the said parenO
| should remain In possession of an i'm
portant part of the deceased bankrupts
estate.
With the horrible example of the AS
phalt Company of America and the
National Asphalt company before them
the reorganizers who took hold of the
Barber wrecks gave up the trust idea.
| They reduced the capitalization from
$5S,O00,O00 to $31,000,O00, of which
only S24,000,0O0 have been issued, end
ed the era of collusive bidding and
closed specifications for municipal con-
tracts and have succeeded in living a
life free from scandal.
But still the sins of the fathers of
the old asphalt trust continue to be
visited on a company and manage
ment who are In no way responsible
for these sins. The General Asphalt
company, still referred to as the trust,
is not only a legatee of the odium of
the old regime. but the victim of the
deal whereby its Venezuela property
is held In the possession of the Castro
| Barber combination awaiting President
Castro's pleasure In referring the Ber-
mudez and other claims to arbitration.
