GLOOMY VIEW OF THE TEXTILE
INDUSTRY TAKEN AT MA
TONS CAPITAL.
SIX WEEKS SUPPLY ON HAND
Count Won BernstorN Thinks There
viii Be No Further Trouble II the
v. S. Should Threaten EN-.
barge on War Supplies.

Washington.-A gloomy view Of the
immediate future of the American tex
tile industry was presented at the
White House and the state department
by a committee representing 400 mills
headed by former Representative
Metz of New York.
Unless ONE relaxation OF the Brit
ish blockade is obtained and German
dyestuffs reach them within six weeks
time, Mr.. Metz declared, go mills will
be forced to close and $50. 900 opera
tives be thrown out of work.
Government officials held out no
great hope to the textile men. The
situation is complicated in the extreme
and apparently there is little prospect
OF framing an agreement satisfactory
to both Great Britain and Germany.
Under a previous agreement with
Germany ships carrying American cot
ton to German ports were permitted to
bring back dyestuffs. The new Brit
ish order, however, has struck at this
traffic In both directions, n officials
were at a loss for a new plan under
which the German chemicals could be
obtained.
The textile representatives called at
the German embassy after their con-
ferences with government officials and
the ambassador, Count Won Bernstorff,
suggested that there would be no fur
ther trouble about dyestuffs shipments
II they could get the United States to
threaten an embargo on exports OF war
supplies to Great Britain unless inter
ference with trade between America
and Germany in f~oodstuffs. cotton and
other non-contraband goods ceased.
The ambassador reiterated the re-
cent declaration of the Berlin foreign
office Of Germany's willingness to dis.
continue the sinking without notice by
submarines OF British merchantmen il
Great Britain would stop molesting
non-contraband cargoes consigned to
German civilians.

APPEAL IN VAIN FOR AID
Ship Goes Down In Atlantic Gale
Four Passengers and Crew
Are Lost.

New York.-Death and disaste,
rode on the terrific hurricane which
swept the Atlantic points. Almost a
dozen vessels of various kinds foun-
dered at sea, or were swept to their
doom on the shoals, taking a toll OF
IA human lives, Of whom four were
passengers and the remainder sea-
men. Other lives, dozens OF them.
were saved by the breeches buoy, and
the S. o. S. call of the wireless
brought succor to more.
The gale which wrought such havoc
| at sea accomplished its work on land,
too. Telegraph and telephone wires
are down all along the coast. When
all the facts are learned the hurri
canes total will undoubtedly far ex-
coed its present known numbers.
By far the most deadly work Of the
storm was the sinking of the steamer
Prins Maurits of the Royal Dutch
West Indies Company. which is be-
lieved to have foundered some time
Sunday off Cape Hatteras. For sew
eral hours the pitiful signal Of dis

The last heard from her was a wall
sinking fast" She carried a crew
Of between forty and fifty. and four
passengers. Not a trace OF any OF
them has been found. although the
sea has been combed In the vicinity
where the ship went down.
The Prins Maurits left New York
April / for Cape Haytien and other
West Indian ports. Capt. H. j. Van
dergoot was In command and he Ear
ried as passengers Mrs. Marion c.
Wallace OF Wilmington. Del; Mr.. and
Mrs. C. Mot Of Hayti and Mrs. La
croche Of Wilmington, Del.
' The first word that the Primo Maui
rits was In distress came in a wire
less supposed to have been sent by a
British cruiser. She reported her
longitude and latitude and asked for
assistance. including the Algonquin Of
the Clyde Steamship Company. which
is on her way to New York from
West Indies ports. and the City OF
Macon. OF the Savannah line.
The Algonquin notified the Prins
Maurits that she was coming to her
assistance, and implored the captain
of the sinking vessel to keep her
afloat for a few hours longer. The
wireless OF the Maurits responded
with her last breath Sinking fast"
When the Algonquin arrived at the
position given by the stricken vessel
there was not a trace of her to be
found. For several hours the Algon-
quin cruised about In the neighbor-
hood, as also did the City of Macon,
but without avail. The Algonquin
then proceeded on her way after send
Ing the following message: mo later
news received from her. but all hands
are supposed to have persisted"
Officials Of Funch, Edge & Co., the
agents of the line, stated they had re-
ceived no additional information.
They have practically abandoned hope
of the ship ever being heard from
again. o..
The Prins Maurits was a ship OF

NATIVE TESTIMONY.

As consequence of the recent dis trict attorney having prosecuted a large number of these cases which, insignificant in their essentials, and by no means momentous in their re- suits, were dependent on Indian tes- timony for conviction, it has, possi- bly, become habit with juries to attach too little credence to the evil dence given by natives. In fact, it is we'll known that many men boast openly that they would not convict ander any circumstances on the un- supported word of an Indian or that of any number of Indians.
 As is usually the case, such a jump from one extreme to the other is likely to prove disastrous, for

 y reason for gratitude at our all
 red condition in the financial world
 nd may rejoice with soberness of

 the fact that others owe us who 8.e able to pay, instead of us owing .lem, we must not forget that the G.achinery of our modern business soerates like an insurance company,

 e in time distributed, and that we aust pay our share. To speculate, therefore, as if the present hour ere all, as if our abounding wealth ,ere never to be subjected to strain, !, to promote disaster. Rather is it } remember that we must pay, be hankful that we have the means ,ith which to pay, conserve those re- ources SO that when the day of eckoning comes it may be easy. If ,e are thus careful we may take ad- antage of the fact that while all ,ations, ourselves included, must hare in the losses, it is quite possi- ,le that in the sharing those who nay share may change places rela- lively one with another. If, there ore, we shall emerge with our share paid and no added burden of lebt, and perhaps an increased cred t, we may and, with care, we should, hold a position of power and influ- snce and opulence in the world to which we have hitherto been stran- yers.-Secr ,ary of Commerce w.
