A Washington dispatch says: Upon
request of Secretary Metcalf of the
:Iepartment of commerce and labor,
the attorney v genera! has caused the
institution of proceedings against a
number of North Carolina cotton mill
owners for alleged violation of the
/->f lntirvr To TV
WUtiuV't, 1V4W1
Colonel H. C. Cowles. of Statesville,
X. C., clerk of the United States
pourt, has issued summons lor Messrs.
Thomas M. Costellom, Edward A.
Smith, S. E. Sf.rgent and E. C.
Dwelle, commanding their presence at
:he approaching term of federal court,
tvhich con\enes in Charlotte, December
10, to answer to the charge of
having violated the contract labor
aws- of the United States in the im!X>rtation
of a number of English mill
pperativos. This action by Colonel
Howies was taken at the instance of
[Jnited States District Attorney A. E.
-lolton of Wdnston and Assistant Disrict
Attorney A. L. Coble of Statesrille.
For several days it has been reported
that negotiations were in j
progress looking to an adjustment, j
,f the differences between the gov^nment
and the cotton mill men conierned.
The fact that a summons has
jcen issued and legal proceedings
:otnmenced does not necessarily mean
hat a compromise will not be reached.
A settlement may now be made,
i.nd the whole matter kept out of the
:ourts.
The law which several of the local
:ottcn mill men are said to have vioated
is found in the act of March 3, i
903, entitled "an act to regulate the
mmigration of aliens into the United
States."
Within the past few months there
iave been imported into Piedmont
Carolina, between eighty and ninety
nill operatives from the- Lancashire
listrict of England. Inspector Mclaughlin
placed thirty-two of these
mder arrest and they are now awaitng
orders for their deportation. Their
widence has been taken down and
hey are being detained until the government
decides how to act. The case
as been turned into the hands of
he department of justice and District
attorney Holton is in charge.
The cotton mill men have employed
ounsel to represent them and there
s the promise of a battle royal in
he courts. The mill men assert that
hey have not violated the laws and
ence we are*not liable. No arrests
iave ben made, nor were any bonds
CV|UII vu?
hem, excepting xMspatcher Davis,
rere killed instantly. It is certain
hat life was extinct before the flames
onched thcra. President Spencer's
iody was burned almost beyond recignition,
as was that of Mr. Fisher.
Tie body of Mr. Schuyler was taken
rem under the train before it was
turned very much.
President Spencer was lying directr
y under the--big locomotive of the
ear train. So great was the force of
he impact that the forward train was
ent at least 1,5C0 feet ahead, the loomotive
going over and upon the'
tody of Mr. Spencer. Until after the
ebris burned itself out and the en;ine
cooled off the bodies could not
>e removed.
The wreck- occurred on the crest
>f a stSep grade when the Atlanta
rain could not have been running
ncre than thirty miles an hour. If as
ast. Had it been a mile or two
urthcr south the number of dead
night have been frightful, as the
rain was about two hours behind its
chedule, a condition in the grade
here that wouW have meant a speed
if more than sixty miles an hour.

AT NATIONAL CAPITAL I
Impressive Funeral Services Were At*
tended by a Great Concourse of j
Distinguished People?All Officials
Were Present.
All that is mortal of Samuel Spencer.
late president of .the Southern
Railway, whose tragic death en his
own railroad on the morning of
Thanksgiving Day shocked the people
of two hemispheres, was laid to rest
Sunday a.ternc?:a in the receiving
vault at Cak H ill cemetery, Washington.
there to await final disposition, i
A notable tribute was paid to the |
memory of the distinguished railroad j
magnate by his associates, by states- j
men, and by men eminent in all the j
walks of public life. The funeral obsequies
held in historic St. John's
Protestant church were attended by
railroad officials, financiers and public
men from all parts of the country.
Many cf them were life-long
associates. Hundreds of friends came i
from the soui.ii. The church .was J
crowded beyond its capacity and hun- (
dreds stood outside.
The services were conducted by j
the Riaht Rev. T'enry Satterlee, Rev. j
Dr. Roland Cctton Smith, rector of St.
John's, and the assistant rector of the
church.
Shortly before 1:30 p. m. the offi- i
rers and employees of the Southern i
Railway, 310 in number, assembled at
the general oinces of the company, !
and proceeded, as a . body, to St. j
John's church. Practically all of the
officers of the company throughout its
system of nearly five thousand miles ,
were in attendance upon the services. I
Joining their friends of the Southern '
Railway in paying respect to Presi- |
dent Spencer were representatives of I
the Mobile and Ohio, Georgia, South- |
era and Florida; Cincinnati, New Or?
leans and Texas Pacific; New Orleans
and Northeastern; Central of Georgia;
Atlantic Coast Line; Seaboard
Air Line; Chesapeake and Ohio; j
Pennsylvania and Norfolk and West- j
crn. [
Just at 2 o'clock the soft strains of ;
Chopin's beautiful funeral march peal- !
ed through the church from the or- j
gan. At the same instant through- !
cut the system of railroads lately pre- |
sided over by Mr. Spencer, every j
train 'came to a dead stop, every j
wheel ceased to turn, every employee j
put aside his work. For five minutes j
over the thousands of miies of rail- i
way every employee paid silent re- !
s|>cct to the dead president.
It was peculiarly appropriate that j
the body bearers should have been j
selected from among the colored por- j
ters of the Southern railway. All of i
them have been in the service of the .
company for many years?several of
them nearly a life-time and all of j
them were known personally to Pres- ;
iaent Spencer.
Following the body came the hon- j
orary pallbearers, all of them per- j
sonal and official friends of Mr. Spen- j
cer. They were principally presidents !
or high officials of the railroads of :
America and it was noted that, either ,
personally or by proxy, they repre- j
Rented quite onejhird of the vast ;
wealth of the United States.
At the conclusion of the ritualistic
service, the remains were borne
front the church during the singing
of "Abide With Me." Services at the ;
cemetery were brief and simple.
No such wonderful profusion of ex- j
quisite floral offerings has been seen j
in Washington sinco the. obsequies of '
the late President McKialey as filled
the Massachusetts avenue home of
President Spencer and the chancel of
St. John's church. These tributes
came from ail pans 01 ine cuuuuv. .
There were car loads oi beautiful em- '
blems wrought from the rarest of cut j
flowers. Only a few wagon loads of i
the floral offerings were displayed at '
the church.

NEW ORLEANS HARD HIT
In Loss of Cotton Eusiness the Past
Year?Worst Season Since
Founding of Exchange.
A big failing off in the cotton business
of New Orleans during the year
ending August 31 last, is indicted in
the annual report of the cotton exchange
issued Friday night.
This has been the worst of the
year for spot cotton business in New
Orleans, says the report, since the inauguration
of the exchange thirty-five
years ago.
The cause of this record-breaking'
falling off is explained as largely due
to abnormal "tonditions and to disi

butary to New Orleans.
Gross receipts of American cotton
at the port of New Orleans were equivalent
to 14.75 per cent of the commercial
crop of the United States, as
compared .with 20.07 per cent the
year before.
Speaking of the receipts in presses,
which were 30 per cent under last
season, the report says that in addi-.
tion to th^ disasters already mentioned
it is believed New Orleans suffered
from diversion in other centers.
"We. continue," says the committee
of supervision, "to be practically
shut oijt of Texas through the ruling
of the railroad commission, and for
other causes, and out of the crop of,
that state and Indian Territory of
'!,025,S3f? bales we received only 170,425
bales."
A recommendation to establish a direct
wire system between the New Orleans
nnd New York exchanges, the
two bodies to own the wires jointly,
was made by the commiission on information
and statistics which has

and other large contractors charged
with violation of the eight-hour law
in connection with the work on the
Charleston navy yard.
The attorney representing Mr. vvn- i
kins and other defendants, asked that I
court to determine when the cases
would be tried. He said Mr. Wilkins
stood ready to give bond whenever
required and that he had no desire to
avoid the processes of the courts. District
Attorney Cochran agreed to this
and ic was decided that the cases
would not be called for trial until the
spring term of the court in Charleston.
'
It is understood that, if these prosecution
are successful other cases
would begin. The defendants will set
nn th^ claim that the laborers were
paid by the hour and if they worked
more than eight hours there was no
violation of the federal statute forbidding
the employment of laborers
more thou eight hours per day on
