Their Methods VIII
Fight Combine

New York, Feb. 19.-An important
resolution, touching on the trust
question, was adopted Thursday by
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, in convention here. The
resolution follows: "Resolved, That
the American Newspaper Publishers
association request the president of
the United States and the attorney
general to institute a suit against
any of the three paper combinations
to test the legality of their existence
and whether they do not stife COM
petition"
During the discussion preceding
the adoption of the resolution Don
Seitz and John Norris, business man
ayers of the New York World and
Times, respectively, attacked the
methods of the International Paper
Co. On behalf of the World Mr..
Seitz offered $4,000 toward fund to
carry on a national agitation for the
'emoval of the duty on wood pulp
for paper making, claiming that this
step was necessary for the welfare
of the newspaper industry.
Mr.. Seitz said that the paper situa-
ton in the United States is steadily
growing worse, the drouth of the
last three or four months emphas siz-
ing the predicament of the newspa-
per industry through the operations
of the international Paper Co. The
company, he said, controlling every
factor of the paper-making industry,
had, instead of increasing its facili-
ties and accumulating reserve stock
to restrict the output of printing pa
per in order to secure complete domi-
nation of the market.
During the five years of its exist
ence, he said, it had not put in sin
gle new machine, had reduced its
output of news paper at least 300 tons
per day and had perfected arrange
ments with independent mills to
maintain prices. Overcapitalized to
begin WITH he said, it was impover-
ishing itself in purchasing wood
lands at high prices to shut out com
petition and to enrich insiders. the
whole to the ultimate burden of the
newspapers, which could not we'll in
crease the price of their papers or
advertising.
Mr.. Morris, of the Times, declared
that newspapers are today threaten
ed with a paper famine, many of the
papers being on Il hand to mouth
basis, and that the manufacturers
had deliberately shut down on pro-
ductIon.
Mentioning the various combina-
tions in the paper industry, he de-
clared that these methods suggested
the remedy and he urged the forma-
ton of pool of newspaper publish
ers to offer inducements to capital
lists to establish independent mills
outside the trust and ensure reason
able prices for paper.
At the afternoon session the COM
mittee to which the subject had been
referred reported in favor of the ac-
emulation of fund of 100000 to
promote an agitation "for release
from the oppression of the paper
combinations" and this report was
unanimously adopted by the associa-
ton.

power. In 1SSS. Hanna was again
sent to the republican national con-
vention as district delegate, and
worked for John Sherman.
In the days when Hanna had been
devoting his time to the coal and iron
business there was strike in one of
his western Ohio mines, and some of
the discontented miners burned sew
eral of the mine shafts. Hanna went
to the district to prosecute them, and
lost his case. The lawyer for the
miners was William Mckinley, and
although defeated by him, Hanna
struck up warm friendship for Me-
Kinley.
He began McKinley's preliminary
presidential campaign in 1894 and
1895. In 1896 he was chosen as chair
man of the national committee, and,
after the hard fight of that year Nc
Kinley was elected president.
When John Sherman left the
United States senate in 1897 to he
come secretary of state, Gov. Bush
nell appointed Hanna to fill out Sher-
mans term in the senate.
In 1895 he was elected to the United
States senate by the Ohio legislature
and was recently reelected for an
other term.

finding fresh ones to the south and along
the Morocco frontier; one of the most
dreadful episodes in Italian history was
worked out in Abyssinia a few years
ago; Portugal has had many conflicts
with the natives; Belgium has the dis
grace of the Congo atrocities, and now
comes Germany with an uprising of
blacks that threatens to overshadow any
thing of the kind that has occurred in
Africa. Surely that vast territory was
aptly named the Dark Continent.

MARCUS ALONZO HANNA.

In the meantime Nj. Mccormick,
Mr.. and Mrs. Parsons and II. NJ. Han
ma had entered the room. Mr.. Dover
stood in the door There were no
distressing incidents attending the
last moments. 1t was sinking spell
which terminated in ten minutes.
Just after his eyes closed in death
Mrs. Hanna came into the room.
We are indebted to the Cleveland
World for the following biographical
sketch of Senator Hanna:
Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna was
born September "a, 1897, at Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio. His mother
came from a family of staunch. old
Scotch Presbyterians of Vermont.
His fathers family had been Nir-
ginia Quakers for about a hundred
years back.
Leonard Hanna, the father was a
practicing physician in Lisbon, but
finding it was not lucrative enough
to support his family of eight, he
moved to Cleveland in 1852, and or
ganized the grocery firm of Hanna,
Garretson & Co.
Marcus had attended the schools at
Lisbon and completed his public
school education in Cleveland. He
then started in at Western Reserve
University, but after year at that
institution went to work as clerk
hl his fathers store.
In 1862 the elder Hanna died, and
the management of the store de-
volved upon Mark. His close atten-
ton to business in the five years he
had worked as n clerk stood him in
good stead now, and he conducted
the business very successfully until
the firm dissolved in 1867.
At the age of 30 he married Miss
Rhodes, daughter of Daniel p.
Rhodes, and went into business with
his father-in-law, of the firm of
Rhodes & Co., dealers in coal, iron
ore and pig iron.
In 1877. Mark became senior part
ner of this firm and changed the
name to NJ. A. Hanna & Co.
BY this time he had learned the
business thoroughly and had pur-
chased mines until his firm was
known all over the country. He
treated his worltmen like equals and
was therefore well-liked by them
lie was generally successful in
strikes.
Up to this time he had dabbled a
little in politics and had been sent to
the republican national convention in
1884, pledged to nominate John Sher-
man.
The first step in active politics was
to crgarize the Cleveland Business
Mems Marching club. He got the
business men Of the city interested in
politics, made them attend their
ward caucuses, and made the club a
