More Schools Wanted.

The residents of Cleveland Park and 9TH
ers of that section who would be benefited
are asking the Commissioners to recon-
mend the appropriation of $4,000 for a
school building located in Cleveland Park.
The school facilities Of that section are
regarded as poor. The old structure at
Tenleytown is very primitive In appearance
both externally and internally. There are
no retiring rooms or cloak rooms, and last
week the entire school was dismissed for
the day owing to the fact that one Of the
pupils was taken i'll and could not be re-
moved and the class room was through
necessity improvised into an infirmary. Had
there been a cloak room or retiring room
this wholesale dismissal would not have
been necessary, 1t is commended

ASK PROSECUTION
OF PAPER TRUST
Newspaper Men Declare Comb
nation Illegal Re
peal PulpWood Duty.

washington, April 6 -Testfmony
before the house judiciary committee,
investigating the alleged paper COM
bine. shows that the price of news
paper has been raised $14 a ton during
the past four years.
Is: Don q. Seitz of the New York World
declared that when the paper trust
was formed it took nearly all the indie
pendent mills at prices not warranted
had $55, 900, 600 invested in plants not
worth over $25,O00,O00 and was
charging prices for paper to pay diyi-
dends on the larger amount.
Mr.. Seitz described the condition of
the newspaper publisher as one of pc
culiar hardship. It was impossible
under existing conditions either to
raise the price Of the paper to the
subscribers or the price of advertising.
In New York, he said, the publisher
was being squeezed by the paper trust
on one side, by the labor combinations
ION another.
The reduction of the tariff on wood
pulp and papersWas suggested by Rep
resentative De Almond as a remedy
Mr.. Seitz answered that altho himself
a democrat, he had understood that
the tariff was not to be disturbed at
enough evidence of the Illegally OF the
com bination to proceed against 1t un-
: der the Sherman antitrust law. 81
- John Norris, business manager OF
f4he New z FORK Times took the. view
that the removal Of the tariff from
wood pulp, amounting to s1.67sa ton
tWould enable the construction OF In
dependent mills within six months
(which would compete with the trust.

LESS WARLIKE IN NEW YORK
The Possibility Serious Trouble Said to Be Decreasn Har
After Rock Island?

sip in the inner banking circles that
the private telephone from his office
to the office of the Rock Island COM
pany, installed about a year ago. has
been in requisition great deal re-
Gently. Mr.. Hartman Is quoted by
his friends as saying that the scheme
of Rock Island, from a railroad stand
point, is about the finest outline or
great system that the west holds to-
day. He is heavy stockholder of the
preferred stock, thru the Texas deal,
and of the common, thru purchase In
the market. He has been in confer
ence with Mr.. Reid and Judge Moore
many times in the past three months,
and it is stated on excellent authority
that a cordial friendship of personal
nature has sprung UP between him
and Mr.. Reid and B. r. Yoakum.
This matter is somewhat important.
Mr.. Hartman once made an offer for
the control Of Frisco. He was refused
and later the system was bought by
Rock Island. Mr.. Hartman wanted
Frisco very badly. He. saw that his
north and south connections were
poor. He tried to remedy them, but
instead he found that one Of his big
gest and ablest rivals had outbid him.
Now he is trying toJremedy the loss
by making eyes at the rival aforesaid.
The game is legitimate. Rock Island
is so far outside of the great COM
munity Of interests. It will come In
thru the Hartman connection. Mr..
Hartman wants the great traffic of
the great southwest, just as Mr.. Hill
wants it. Mr.. Hill has hitherto Sc
cured an immense tonnage from these
lines and Atch1son for the orient via
Seattle. Hartman wants the same
tonnage for the orient via Portland.

GColonel William Greene Sterett
came all the way from Galveston TO
Investigate the Heanst boom and to
see Hearst himself.
He waited several days in washing,
ton upon a promise that Hearst would
receive him. Then he followed Hearst
to Philadelphia, and learned that ne
was going to attend democratic
dinner or something Of the kind In
Camden.
He was told that If he would wait at
a. certain point until Hearst came
along in a carriage he might enter the
vehicle and ride with Hearst to the
banqueting hall.
{ Sterett wrote back to his papers
that he had met all manner Of public
men, had been on terms Of friendship
with several presidents, and had never
experienced any difficulty in seeing
Mr.. Roosevelt, the late MT. Mchln-

came to light yesterday when Attor-

who had been hastily summoned to

strength of the Montana laws to pre-
vent the Hartman interests from Sc

that as soon as he returns to Mon

DUE TO HARTMAN?
Another Northern Securities Injunc
ton Pending in the East.

New York, April 6.-Vice-Chancellor
Bergen signed an order in Jersey City
to-day to show cause why an injunc-
ton should not be issued to restrain
the Northern Securities company from
holding a stockholders meeting on
April Fl; from distributing any stock
of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern, and from taking any action
in regard to the reduction of it's capi-
tai stock. :.?f
The injunction was asked for by the
Continental Securities company, which
asked the court Of chancery to compel
the Northern Securities company to
return to the original stockholders Of
the Northern Pacific and of the Great
Northern, the stocks formerly held by
them upon the same terms under
which the stock of the two companies
was acquired by the Northern Securi-
ties. The complainant held stock In
the Northern Securities. Arguments
will be heard next Monday in Jersey
City.
