Washington. March sO.-The nomi- nation of Samuel Grant Victor to be United States marshal for the Last ern District of Oklahoma. was again called up today in the Senate Com mittee on Judiciary
 It was recommitted two weeks ago at the request of Senator Foraker for the reason. 1t is said. that Vic. tor became a Taft adherent after re- ceiving a promise from the adminis- tPation that he was to be named for the marshalship.

COTTON MILLS OUTPUT.
Average Curtailment Somewhat Over
 25 Fer Cent

Average Curtallment Somewhat Over
 25 Fer Cent.
 Textile Manufacturers Journal.
 A census of prominent New England cotton mills has just been complet- ed, showing the extent of the current curtailment of production by those mills. These statistics have been collated along the lines suggested editorlally .n these columns some week ago. and may be accepted as an accurate barometer of the extent of @urtailment throughout New England. The figures, 1t should be unnecessary to state. are absolutely reliable. and their publication should aid fin stlmulat- ing the confidence of buyers in the market
 Returns were received from mills operating a total of 5.543.00O spindles There has been a curtaiIment of 25 per cent or more by 4.161 900 of these of IS to 25 per cent by 1.073.000. while only 309.000 spindles have been run full time. The average curtailment is somewhat over 25 per cent These figures were compiled up to March 35.
 As these returns cover about a third of the total number of spindles in New England. and about a fifth of the total for the country. their inn port must be apparent to buyers. par ticularly when 1t Is known that cur tailment today Is greater than at any time during the period covered.

 Washington March Re- Reports coming to Washington from officers connected with the Atlantic battleship fleet touch upon the relative merits or in-turning and out-turning screws.
 IL is said by those who have looked into the matter that the reports indi- cate the unanimity which condemns the in-turning type. It was found that the out-turning screws contribut- cd to the steering of the ships and with that type of propeller there was greater readiness of answer to the helm than in the case of the in-turn- ing screw.
