VOL. 8, NO. 55, SEMI-WE] COLONEL SPRINGS 0 REVIVES MILL MEN b; V m Buys Up Stock of Three Mills and B ll..? M- It *<AHUU*UV iUt VI O UCV VIUO 1T1VIX7 Cheerful?Fight to the Ijast. r? Washington Special to Charlotte ai Observer, April 10.?The cotton T mill men seemed to have been ai re heartened up somewhat yesterday but the tariff committee is still tc making a vigorous protest to the Democratic caucus in the hope of pi eventually preventing a radical cut ^ being made effective. The dlsposi- a' tion is to fight to the last and then c make the best of the situation. A N somewhat more cheerful tone pervaded mill circles thin morning This was accentuated when it became known that Col. Leroy Springs b? had bought up all the Brock in the ti two mills at Fort Mill and one at c< Chester, thus enlarging his mill P< ownership considerably. He is vl hopeful regardless of a tariff cut. f< The hall was well filled when si Secretary of Commerce Redfleld Is talked to the association on the work of that department as related t( to manufacturers and commerce, n: He made fair promise of healthful c< co-operation of that governmental ai bureau through the consular ser- C vice. ii The address of . Statistician o Stewart of the census bureau was a h compendium of crop production and o mill consumption. Some expert ad- *| vice was presented by Mr. Doury, It the manager of a New York condi- p tioning and testing company, on the w value of accuracy in testing the in- u dustry. The discussions were very d brief, the tariff question seeming to ci hold all other matters in abeyance, n At today's meeting Stuart VV. g Cramer of Charlotte will be elected d , president of the association and T. 1. Hutchison, Augusta, Ga., vice b president. Mr. Clarence B. Bryant, Charlotte, who has been secretary since 1901, will be continued by A unanimous vote. He would not be allowed to quit if he wants to, the ^ I association having long since de^ at. cided to impress him into its service for good. i ' W Yesterday afternoon the wives of the members of the association attended a reception given by Mrs. a Josephus Daniels. None, however. e accompanied their husbands to the jj Gayety theater last night, where n the men smoked cigars while being - entertained from the stage by some ,j sort of a love-making production. j At the closing session today the committee on the tariff is expected p to bring matters to a head. t The present satisfactory condition of the Southern mill industry j, was reflected in activity of sales of p machinery to mill men and many t sales of cloth and yarns by mill ^ men. A New York broker made a ? large sale of raw cotton yesterday. 8 Alexander At Gursed, Charlotte, have In operation on ' Pennsylvania v avenue a power machine for clean- j Ing bobbins which is attracting Q crowds. jy A GREATER NAVY". ?.

" Washington, April 10?An efli- 1 cient navy, large and powerful 1 enough to maintain th?- nation's prestige, is the politv of the new ' administration as outlined today to ( the navy league of the United States v in its eighth annual convention by " f Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navv. His state- * ment created enthusiasm. It was regarded as directly reflecting the ^ views of Secretary Daniels and the White House. o Mr. Roosevelt tilled on the mem- r hers of the league to aid In popular- ' lzing the naval establishment and 1 declared that as effective work could 'I he done outside the navy as within o ' it. He dwelt on the need for the d support of the secretary of the navy and the administration's naval v policy. c "Thla is not a question of war or ? peace," he said "I take it there ' t are as many adventt- of arbitra- a tlon and international pea e in the navy as in any other profession, i But we .are confronted with another > condition?the fact that o .r nation ? has decided in the past to have a c fleet and that ww js still a possl- s blllty." r 111 rn-f^TT -XT A ^ CjIY-U*. -LiAJNUAfc RED CROSS CALLS FOR AID. ontributions Asked For Flood I |l|||v Sufferers in Ohio and Indiana.
