''Appleton Co., of Lowell, Mass.,
is understood to have determined
upon the construction of a large
cotton manufactory in the cotton
growing section, with the Gas
tonia district under consideration
as a location for the important
enterprise. This New England
company has a large capital and
large surplus, the latter to be the
principal (japital investment for the
initial unit of the southern Apple
ton plant. It manufactures, dress
ginghams and naped goods, the
latter being sold to the jobbing
and cutting tpiade. Unconfirmed
reorts, trtit which probably approxi
mate the facts, state that the
Appleton Mills' southern estab

completed during the coming year."

! PRESIDENT TO RETIRE.
Attributes Failure . To Unify
j China To Work Of
Militarists.
l'KKING, Iee. ID. (liy The As
soeiuted Press.) General fining
Nhau-TseiiK, the military leader, has
been appointed premier with the ap
proval of parliament. His selection,
j which was supported by General Tsao
i Kun, is believed to indicate the intern
j tion of the military party to resume
control of China .
The (.'biases newspapers published he
i ports to the effect that President Li
: Vuan Hung will soon retire and tluit
'General Tsao-Kun will take his place ,
Another report says that. Tsao Kun,
with the bucking of General I'hang
j Tso l.in, is preparing hostilities against
.General Wy Pei-Fu for early spring
with the purpose of placing the Peking
I government completely iu the hands of
I the militarists.
The appointment of Chang Shan
'Tseng to the premiership is declared
to be a concerted move of the militar
ists to regain control. It Ls said that
' with the support' of the military group
, i 1 1 Hi prrAiiices. Tsao Kun ' induced
President Li Vuan Hung to nominate
the new premier and that parliament
voted almost unanimously in his favor,
j This is taken to indicate that parlia
i ineiit is ready to support General Tsao
; Kun's ambition to accede to the presi
dency .
General Tsao Kun has effected an
alliance with General Chang Tso -Lin,
the Mnnelturian war lord, whose army
i is prov ided with modern weapons and
; ample supplies. As an ally of Tsao
j Kun the Manchurian forces are said
to bi! prepared to start a campaign
against General Wu Pei-Fu.
The latter announces he is ready to
open hostilities in an effort to save
China from falling into the hands of
the militarists.
President Li Yuan Hung attributes I
the collapse of his hope of unifying
China to the military group.

Principal Prosecutor, Keller,
Is Still Absent From
Hearings.
WASHINGTON, Pec Is. -- In the
absence of the principal prosecutors.
Representative Keller, licpuhlicau, Min
nesota, hearing before the House judi
ciary committee on impeachment charges
against Attorney General Datighcrty
moved forward today at a slow pace.
Representatives Woodruff, of Michi
gan, and Johnson, of South Dakota,
Republicans, were before the commit
tee by invitation of Cbairuian Volstead
but Mr. John-on said

ely at tin
Woodruff
not ready to proceed .
The Michigan member said Mime of
the charges he might present would be
of an impeachable character, but added
that he could not form a definite opinion
until he had examined certain docu
ments, at the Department ol Justice.
JSoth Mr. Johnson and Mr. Woodruff
said there had been a decided change
in the situation -im-e last April when
the latter charged the attorney general
with a failure to piesocule war fraud
cases .
Mr. Woodruff said utiou had been
begun in six of the ight or nine iu
stances he had mentioned, while Mr.
Johnson voiced the. belief that consider
ing the amount of reorgaui.ut ion nec
essary in the deiiarnneiit and the mass
of information that had to be digc-ted
before hand, the attorney general hail
mou'd with reasonable promptness
the War fraud cases.
Questioned about reports that he had
been "shadowed" by operative of the
Department of Justice, Representative
Woodruff told the committee he had
not intended to go into that, but he
had "reason to bclicv. ' ' that not only
had he been shadowed," but that bis
mail had been " intei ferre.l with,"
and hi office enlercil and "document
removed."
"Whether I was 'shadowed' by one
or one thousand operatives was a mat
ter of- the utmost indifference to me,"
said he. "1 had nothing to conceal.,
und had they desired to read my mail
1 would have left if open fur them.''
Responding to further inquiries, Mr.
Woodruff said the only evidence he
had to support his belief was of a cir-
culndantinl nnlarc. and that
not care to state jt .

Lasher, of the shipping Hoard, iu u let

In his letter, made public by the Ship
ping liouid, Mr. Lasker tola the sena
tor that "whatever may be your po
sit ion upon the pending ship suosidy bill
1 am sine you do not desire the, readers
of your paper to reach their conclu
sions upon either inadequate or errone
ous statements. '
"Decause the statement iu the cir
cular of the organ controlled by you
are not accurate and are wholly at va
riance with the facts," the letter con
tinued, "I feel it tit v duty to yon, to
! myself, and to the people we both rep
j resent, to give you the tacts and thus til
lable you to correct the erroneous ini
jpres-ioii your publication has created,
i Von certainly would not wish, and i
I certainly could not permit, any part ol
; our people to be misled concerning the
i provisions of the ship subsidy bill, or the

! Mr. LasUer questioned particularly
.statements in Hie questionnaire, that the
j government intended to sell its war built

vision is made for a 1J."),UUO,00(I con
struction fund, he declared, adding that
the proposed legislation only made slight
modification in the present law," to
meet conditions more Muccessfully.
j As to the probable cost of govern
I men! aid, Mr. Lasker said shipping
! board oflicials reputedly had averted
that a subsidy could not under any eon
ditions exceed $;;o,OO0.OU0 a. year. Pay
ment of government aid on all American
tonnage, now privately owned, would
cause a outlay, he added, of not more

! GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT,
j Merchants Finally Cut Their
' Prices 20 Per Cent But
Trade Stopped.
j LON DON, Dec. P., lierlin dispatches
.printed here, today assert that the sudden

! marks following rumors of an American
'loan, bail strange and sterling results
in Germany last week end. The writers
jsay the whole country wus bewildered and

everybody's calculations, long nd
.1 to holding the dollar at something
s.l.oii marks, were completely u;j-
The people, to whom every rise i'l
; i n es has been represented as due to tho
line in the doli.u, logically expected that
its fall would immediately be followed
by a drnji iu the cost of living and on
this a ssuiiipt ion thousands of persons
thronged I'erlin's shoping district on
Sunday iu the hopes of indulging in pur
chases hitherto beyond their means, it
w; s " silver Sunday, the last lietore
Christmas on which the police allow the
shop to bu open, and the shopper were
iiiliji-nt that pries would be way down.
To their disappointment, however, th
merchandise they had longed for was as
high a ever 'and consequently they
bought. '
The tradesmen, taking uotice of the
peculiar situation, on Monday marked
I heir goods down twenty per cent, but it
va too bite. The people, half expect -
I ant that a further list.' of the mark would
bring another price out, kept their pur-..
I strings tight and the merchants now j
'have iHons of large Oiristmas stocks ,
leinaining on their hands.
Another striking effort of the mark 's t
I depreciat ion is seen iu the fact that j
British eial is cheaper today in Gcrmanv I
I coast towns than is German coal. It '
, I'eiireil that if the mark's improvi nient !
j tiiai-ntained, the demand for British fuel ;
' will increase -nid the German will be- '

cumstances the manufacturers and trades-
