Washington. D. C., December 9.—
The selection of Chicago to be the
place for holding the next republican
national convention is being interpret
ed as a victory for the anti-administra
tion forces. Whatever foundation
there is for the feeling a sense of su
preme satisfaction pervades the
breasts of the Foraker forces. Sen
ator Foraker and his colleague. Sena
tor Dick, express unmitigated pleasure
at the result of the committee's meet
ing.
For several days tlie report has been
circulated that the success of Kansas
City would mean the dominance of the
administration, while the choice of
Chicago would lie largely dictated by
the desire of the delegates to be free
of the local Taft sentiment in MiS;
sostiri. The administration supporters
insist that other factors dictated the
choice of Chicago.
It is very evident, however, that
there is no satisfaction in the Talt
camp over the committee's action. On
the other hand, the Foraker contin
gent is jubilant.
Asked by Citizens Bank was
Denied by Judge Brand
at Hearing Yes*
terday.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Charles
H. Brand heard arguments in the in
junction proceedings of the Citizens
Bank ami Trust Company against the
owners of the building in which the
bank is located.
The petition for injunction was
brought for the purpose of preventing
the owners of the building from erect
ing a one-story addition to the build
ing on the corner of Clayton street
and College avenue.
The contention of the bank was
that the contract called for a corner
room and that tile erection of this ad
dition was a violation of the contract
between tlie bank and the owners of
the property. It was further contend
ed that the erection of this addition
to the building impaired the light
ing and ventilation of the bank room,
and for that reason it was asked that
the injunction be granted.
Judge George C. Thomas appeared
for the bank and Cobb & Erwin for
the owners of the building.
After hearing the evidence and the
arguments. Judge Brand declined to
grant the injunction and the erection
of the one-storv addition will pro
ceed.
LINEN INDUSTRY
IN UNITED STATES
Boston, December 9.—Now England
cotton mill operators are figuring up
on tlie probable effect upon their
business of the establishment of the
linen-making industry for the first
time in the United Slates. This has
come about as the result of the dis
covery by a Massachusetts inventor
of a process of linen-making that is
commercially praeticalfle under the
labor conditions prevailing in this
country. Two New England mills are
now being equipped to operate under
this process.
Heretofore practically all linen fibre
and fabric used in the United States
has been imported from abroad at a
cost of over 520,000,000 exclusive of
duty. This is due to the fact that by
old-world methods of reclaiming linen
from flax straw the cost here would be
prohibitive. Only the peasant labor
of Russia, Belgium and other Euro
pean countries }s_cheai>, enough t^
UBe in the processes which abroad oc
cupy from IS to 30 weeks. The com
bined mechanical and chemical pro
cess invented by Benjamin C. Mudge,
of Lynn, accomplishes the same work
in a few hours, and does not sacrifice
the sped crop for which some 4,000,-
000 acres of flax are annually planted.
The straw, which according to the
department of agriculture, is of a bet
ter quality than that used abroad, is
burned.
There will now lie an ever-increas
ing market for this straw at a price
of about $50 a ton, or only one-fifth
of what cotton costs the manufacturer,
exclusive of freight. With this ad
vantage in tlie lower cost of raw ma
terial and the higher prices that can
he obtained for the finished product,
the linen-making industry is expected
to add enormously to the value of
American textile production, which for
cotton fabrics alone now reaches half
a billion dollars a year.
