DIPLOMATIC CORPS
IN HAVANA MEETS
TO DISCUSS DANGER
May Decide to Hire Own
Guards-Gomez's Atti-
tude Criticised.

HAVANA, Sept. 1.-The diplomatic
corps met today to discuss measures for
protecting the legations from violence
by anti-foreign fanatics among the Gu
bans. The government having with
drawn their guards, it is believed the
ministers will arrange to provide their
own. The step is not calculated to i'm
prove the situation.
President Gomez's failure to submit to
the United States legation his explana-
ton Of Enrique Maza attack on Charge
dAfaires Gibson before sending It to
Washington was severely criticised.
BY this discourtesy, and by his inti-
nation that Gibson has misrepresented
the Maza incident, the opinion was ex-
pressed that Gomez has aggravated the
matter more than improving it.
There were no anti-foreign editorials
in today's Havana newspapers, however.
President Gomez's threat to prosecute
them frightened the editors.

TEXTILE MEN PLAN
TEST OF UNIONISTS
Will Reopen Massachusetts Mills
to See If Workmen
Will Return.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. a
The textile council Is about to ask the
State board of conciliation and arbitra-
ton to arrange a conference with the
cotton manufacturers to see If the six
weeks lockout can be settled honorablv.
II was reported today that the thrteen
manufacturers who closed their mills
plan to reopen them on September to
see how many operatives will return,
and thus test the staying powers of
the union members.
On the other hand, the weavers, whose
strike precipitated the lockout, are
highly dissatisfied with the vote of the
textile council to appeal to the State
board.
The weavers are AFFILIATED with the
National Federation of Weavers, and
not with the United Textile Workers
They struck six weeks ago against the
grading and fining system in the weav-
ing rooms, and the manufacturers
promptly closed their mills, anticipat ting
a sympathetic strike of the other de-
partments.

Only One Accident
Mars Opening Day;
One Hunter Arrested

Only one accident marred the sport
on the opening day Of the cunning sea-
son. Stephen Avon, thirty-five years
old. of 800 Louisiana avenue northwest
was hit in the left eve with a stray
shot, but not seriously hurt. The acci-
dent happened on the marshes in the
Eastern Branch. Avon went to the
Casualty Hospital. where the doctors
said his sight would not be affected.
Complaint was made today by several
gunners that they had received unfair
treatment at the hands of officers In
Alexandria county. Va. The marshes
in the vicinity of the south end of the
Highway bridge have been a favorite
place for Washington sportsmen for
years. and this morning a number of
them started across the bridge before
daylight.
According to the gunners. they were
them against hunting on Virginia soil
without license. The officers, how
ever, Gould not keep them off the
marshes, as District territory extends
20 high-water mark on the Virginia
shore.
The sportsmen were indignant at the
attitude If the county officers, as the
game laws of the State say nc nom
resident license shall be required for
shooting sora or rabbits.
1t was reported that several gunners
from Washington had been arrested for
violating the Virginia game laws but
at the Alexandria county courthouse it
was sad there were no such cases re-
corded. although it was possible the
men might have been taken before one
of the justices of the peace IN the
county.
The police of all the outlying precincts
kept a sharp watch for violations Of the
game laws in the District, but up to
noon only one arrest had been made.
Max Kirscher, a chef at the New Will
lard, got too close to the Anacostia
bridge while cunning this morning and
was taken In custody by Policeman c.
r. Brown on a charge of discharging
firearms within 300 yards of the bridge.
He deposited 81 collateral for his ap-
pearance in Police Court tomorrow.
Police of the ,Harbor precinct pa
trolled the Potomac and Eastern branch
in launches, but they failed to discover
any violation of law.
Game was reported not to be as plen-
tifur as in past years, and along the
Eastern Branch reedbirds were bring
ing so cents a dozen.
