KILLED BY INGRATITUDE
The Cause of the Downfall Of the
Wall Paper Trust.
Really a PhiIanthropic Institution,
MIR. Burn Tells the Industrial
Commission - The Public Did Not
Recognize Its Actual Benefactor.

Henry Burn, President Of the Nation
al Wall Paper Company and Chairman Of
the Committee on Dissolution of that
concern. testified before the Industrial
Commission yesterday on the rise and
fall of the Wall Paper Trust. Mr. Burn
gave clearly and concisely the history Of
the combination since its inception, the
reasons for its organization, its opera
tions during the eight years Of its eXis-
tence, and the causes which led TO its
dissolution.
He stated that during the past thirty
years the manufacturers Of wall paper
had from time TO time combined for the
purpose Of bringing about a uniformity
of prices and of terms of credit. The
first Of those arrangements was a sim
pie agreement TO maintain a certain sche-
dule Of prices and to give certain terms
of credit. No provision was made for the
enforcement Of this agreement. and con-
sequently there was no way in which "A
penalty could have been inflicted for its
violation
For a time, however, the agreement was
fairly well observed, but after the panic
Of 1873 there was such an intense compe-
tition that little regard was paid to it's
terms. This led to its abandonment, and
vailed, which caused a great depreciation
In prices and rendered business all but
improbable. Finally the industry reach
sd such a low ebb that the manufacturers
OF wall paper decided TO "harmonize,' -
and in 1856 formed the American Wall Pa
per Manufacturers Association, through
which the profits of the various manufac-
turers We're pooled. There was general
advance in the price Of raw materials
about that time and as the association
comprised nearly every factory Of any
Importance in the country, no difficulty
was experienced in advancing prices.
Under this advance and aided In great
measure BY the then prosperous condition
Of the country. the operations Of the com
psny proved profitable This condition
Of affairs continued for eight years, the
mutual interest OF the manufacturers
alone holding them together, and while
each manufacturer was obliged TO furnish
security for the performance Of his part
Of the contract the amount of such Sc
curity was so small compared To the vol

watchman, who is supposed to make the
rounds of the premises every hour.
Acton hands were badly burned but
no other evidences Of contact with the
wires were apparent.
Acton was the son OF George T. Acton,
who until his death several years ago
was driver of the patrol wagon in the
Third police precinct. One OF his brothers.
Walter Acton, was killed September Is,
1898, at the Congressional Library building
by a derrick falling on him. The funeral
arrangements will not be made until after
the inquest this morning.
1t is the purpose of the authorities to
make a most searching investigation Of
the affair and place responsibility for the
alleged careless manner in which the wires
were left exposed, resulting in the young
mans death

A PREVENTIVE OF PNEUMONIA.

Owing to the prevalence OF colds and grip,
there have been many cases OF pneumonia dur
ing the past few months. II has been OBJ
served however that the grip never results in
pneumonia when Chsmberlains Cough Remedy is
used. Among the tens Of thousands who used
that remedy during the prevalence OF grip in
the past ten years not has been re-
ported that did not recover, which shows that
remedy to be certain preventive of pneumonia
and unequaed as a cure for colds and grip.
