Big COTTON MILL
CLOSES DOWN

Providence. R. L.. February 4.-(Spe-
cial.)-The head of one of the biggest
groups of mills in New England. which
is closed down on account Of the prob
able short supply of raw cotton. spoke
today as follows:
There will be cotton famine and 1t
is certain there won't be enough avail
able next summer to supply the mills In
this country.
THE English mills are taking up Offer
ings more freely than is generally real
ized. 8-r
"Our southern cotton men continue to
offer US material and II we don't take 1t
they turn 1t over at once to English buy
ers. who are picking it up In all grades.
They are taking the better staples and
what is left over after July /, when we
can begin to size up the new crop, will
be principally only such cotton as the
lower grade mills can use. But with the
present stagnation in demand there is no
incentive for us to pile up cotton at pres
ent prices. We will soon have goods
enough in our storehouses to meet all
demands.
THE American mills have lost the
China trade and England Is now doing
good business with China and India. Cot
ton will not be lower in price before the
next crop is available next fall. 1t does
not seem that there will be three short
crop years in succession and trade will
have enough goods produced from high
cost cotton when we hear from the new
crop"

BISHOP BONACUM
DIES In LINCOLN

Lincoln, Neb., February 4.-(Special)-
Bishop Bonacum, head of the Lincoln
Giocese of the Catholic church, died at
the episcopal residence here today of
pneumonia and nephritis He had been
IL! for some time. Funeral thonors Will
be paid the dead prelate on Thursday at
ST. Theresa's Pro-Cathedral.
He was nearly Ga years of age
Bishop Bonacum was a native of Iro-
land, coming to America when he was
an infant He was made a bishop in
1884 and transferred to the Lincoln dio-
cese three years later. He had been an
ordained priest for over 40 years. IS
The most interesting episode of the
career OF the dead bishop has been his
unrclenting war on Father Murphy of
Seward. Neb. The trouble originated
over dispute as to the control Of prop
erty in that part of the see and the
bishops demands for the church property
led him into the Nebraska supreme court,
which declared that spiritual matters
were not for the civil courts.
The matter was then taken up with
the Pope and resulted in the excoinmuni-
cation OF the priest when the holder of
the papal keys upheld his bishop. Much
iil-feeling arose over the matter. Not
long ago Bishop Bonacum visited small
town near Seward and was forced to
take midnight departure on foot. Far
ther Murphy continued to exercise his
power, although outlawed by the church.

beautiful playhouse In New York and

day introduce a bill supporting local op-

According to the ideas of the Tusca-

In case the state votes against the per-

STRONG EFFORT
MADE TO SAVE
OMNIBUS BILL

Washington, February 4-(Special.) y
The storm of protest from many members
of the House against the action of the
committee on claims in trying to chloro-
| form the omnibus claims bill has aroused
| that committee to action. This is the
| bill which passed the Senate several
weeks ago and carries total of about
g. COZ, 900. of which about $500, 900 is for
the payment of French spolition claims,
| the balance for war claims. When the
bill reached the House It was referred
| to the claims committee. Upon motion
of Representative Massey of Tennessee
the bill was tabled and a motion carried
TO adjourn the committee sine die. This
meant the death of the bill.
Members interested in the measure
protested most vigorously and have been
doing their level best to force some ac-
tion, II not on the spoliation claims at
least in the direction of paying the war
claims. The claims committee, although
it decided to adjourn sine die, has been
| called together for meeting to be held
on Monday for the consideration of the
matter Members of the committee are
being besieged by their colleagues in the
House urging the consideration of the
bill, and it is probable that the bill, or at
least the war claims portion of it will on
Monday be reported to the House.
! That portion of the bill which deals
with war claims will have to be consid-
cred by another committee, the commit
tee on war claims, which has already held
| meetings and approved the war claims
| contained In the omnibus bill. so that If
| the claims committee acts favorably the
war claims committee will be ready to
make prompt report and give the House
an early chance to consider the claims.
The bill contains claims in every south
ern state.
At the request of the President, Repre-
sentative Underwood of Alabama called
at the White House today. AS the head
| of the next ways and means committee
the President wanted to consult the Ala
bama member concerning legislation now
pending before the House The President
| is greatly interested in the Canadian reel
procity bill in the ways and means COM
mittee. He was probably assured by Mr..
| Underwood that as the bill is step IN
the right direction 1t is generally sup
ported by democrats.
The resolution which has passed the
House providing for the reinstatement of
| a number of cadets at the United States
| Military academy. who were dismissed for
hazing includes in the list of names y.
| S. Fortner of Dothan, who was originally
appointed to the academy by Representa-
| tive Clayton.
Included in an omnibus fish hatchery
bill favorably reported by the House mer-
chant marine and fisheries committee to-
day is Representative Hobsons bill es-
tablishing a fish hatchery in the state
of Alabama. The location OF the hatch
cry is left to the discretion of the COM
missioner OF fish and fisheries.
