STATE GRAIN COMMISSIONER
REID WILL GO AFTER GRAIN
BUYERS.
Combine Consults Each Mornino and
Agrees on Limit of Prices for
That Day.

State Grain Commissioner w. H,
Reed announces his intention of mok-
ing war on the Washington Millers'
association, which, he AYERS, has as
one of its objects the elimination OF
competition in grain buying, or the
making of the organization a trust in
imical to the interests of the wheat
growers of the northwest.
The fact that the attorney general
of the state is unable to find any
laws on the statute books to break it
up, as published in the newspapers a
few days ago. instead of putting a
quietus upon the fight against the al
legged grain trust, as Mr.. Reed sees
it, only makes the necessity Of a
straight-out war against the associa-
ton more imperative.
IF anyone doubts" said Mr.. Reed
at Tacoma yesterday, that the Mill
ers' association was organized to
eliminate competition in grain buying,

ment in the articles Of agreement en-
tered into by the millers, and which
they are now working under. 1t

THE PAPER TRUST
Newspaper Publishers VIII
Supply Their Own
Material

AUGUSTA. Me-, March 17.-Articles
Were filed today with the secretary of
state for the incorporation of the Pub
fishers Paper company, with a capi-
tai stock Of $6,000.000 and the following
directors: William A. Hall of New
York president, James A. Burnes of
New York treasurer; Frank B. Noyes,
Victor F. Lawson of Chicago and Oak
leigh Thorn of New York.
The purposes OF the corporation are
varied, but are mainly to acquire the
rights. assets, franchises and property
OF the Eastern Timber company of Bar
Mills, Me-, formed from the reorgani-
cation of the White Mountain Paper
company, capital $4,000, 900. for which.
in July, 1903, a receiver was appointed
by the United States courts. Later its
property and rights. including the
foundation for one Of the largest pulp
mills In the world at. Portsmouth,,
N. H, and mills and water privileges
in Maine and New Hampshire, princi-
pally along the Connecticut river, were
sold tn the Eastern Tfnaher company
The North American Trust company,
which loaned large sums on the bonds,
became trustee.
1t is understood that many of the
members of the American Newspaper
Publishers association are interested
in the new company that ultimately
the corporation will furnish paper for
the leading newspapers of the United
States. A special act passed by the
Maine legislature today authorized the
transfer of franchises of the Eastern
Timber company TO the Publishers
Paper company, and gives the new
corporation rights to develop and ex-
tend its water power.
1t is understood that the company
will take over at once 100000 acres of
woodland in New Hampshire and
Maine and upon the foundations al
ready laid at Portsmouth construct a
paper mill with a capacity of $50 tons
per day. The company's water power
along the Saco river is estimated at
100000 horsepower. This would be de-
veloped for the transmission Of cleo
trical power for the companys use at
Portsmouth. The charter OF the new
company provides for five directors, to
serve until the first annual meeting to
be held the first Wednesday of May,
1905, at which fifteen directors are to
be elected.

GEN. HAWLEY DEAD
Connecticut Senator Never
Rallies from Stupor

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Gen. Jo-
seph r. Hawley, for nearly twenty-four
years United States senator from Con-
necticut, died early this morning at his
residence in this city. IS years OF age
Death came peacefully, after stupor
lasting with but slight interruptions
since Wednesday afternoon. AT his
bedside when the end came were Mrs.
Hawley, her three daughters and Maj.
Hooks, for a long time messenger TO
the committee on military affairs of the
senate.
Gen. Hawley's active career in the
senate came to an end in December,
1902, when failing health compelled him
to relinquish his legislative work. Con-
gress at its last session paid Gen. Haw-
ley a tribute by placing him on the re-
tired list as a brigadier general. He
and Gen. Osterhaus were the only
American citizens ever placed on the
retired list OF the regular army who
had not served in the regular army.

LONDON, March 1S.-The greatest
sympathy is expressed by the British
press and public for Gen. Kuropatkin, and
there is strong criticism for the curt
manner Of his dismissal, without word
of thanks for past services. Gen. kuro-
patkin is considered to have been to a
large extent a victim throughout the
campaign of the Interference of former
Viceroy Alexieff, and the grand ducal
party, and to never have had free hand
or proper support in men and measures.
Little or nothing is hoped for from the
appointment of Gen. Linevitch, whose
task is admitted to be almost superhu-
man.
All the st. Petersburg correspondents Of
London newspapers are most pessimistic.
The Mails correspondent thinks the cen
fral fact of tho situation is that since thu
blessing of the Neva (Jan. 19) the en-
peror has been a prisoner at Tsarskoe
Selo and never once has ventured to the
capital. In the moment of the greatest
national emergency, needing the greatest
sympathy between the government and
the people, the ruler remains secluded be-
hind triple bars and bayonets. as remote
and absolutely aloof from the people as If
he were in another planet"

gloomy predictions that the internal
troubles will prevent the continuance of

If the command to mobilize is obeyed

people. Men@are uniting themselves for

Duke Vladimir has turned his attention to

that an insurmountable- obstacle 10 the

COCKRFLL IS TO GO
BACK TO THES[NATE
Missouri Deadlock Is Expected
to End In Favor of Demo.
cratic Veteran

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. March II.
Former Senator Cockrell will tomor-
row be elected United States senator
from Missouri. This was the opinion
expressed tonight by d. w. Hill, Re-
publican speaker of the house OF repre-
sentatives who recently declared that he
would vote for Cockrell on the last day
of the legislature. That day is now on
hand, and one OF the most exciting
sessions of the legislature has gone
into history with the senatorial dead
lock still unbroken. After taking FIVE
joint ballots and once defeating a mo-
ton to dissolve, the legislature tonight
passed the question of selecting a SEN
ator over until noon tomorrow, the day
on which both houses have agreed TO
adjourn sine die.
Many point to today's balloting as
sufficient proof that the Republicans
cannot get together on candidate of
their political faith and that the only
solution is to return cockreil. Despite
statements TO the contrary the Demo-
Gratis remained firm for CockreH all
through the eight ballots taken today
and tonight, while the Republicans
contented themselves With trying to
force the election OF Warner, one of the
candidates who have been voted on
for the last week.

Hartmann Was Murdered
Joseph Hartmann was murdered.
The body of the young man wanted by
the police on suspicion of being an ac-
complice of Edward Gottschalk, now
held to the grand jury for the murder
of Christian Schindeldecker, was dis
covered yesterday afternoon in the
Mississippi river, about three-quarters
of mile above the lower dam, near
the Crosby farm, and between Pixies
island and the Dakota county bank.
Almost mile above the lower dam
and Just below the junction Of the Mis-
sissippi and Minnesota river is a small
island known as Pixies island. The
river divides into two separate streams
and 1t was In the stream on the right
side OF the island, between the island
and the Omaha tracks on the Dakota
county shore, that the body was dis
covered.
Since the statement made by Gott-
schalk to the effect that Hartmann
might have killed Schindeldecker, Chief
OConnor has been suspicious that
Hartmann had been murdered and or
dered the river in the vicinity of the
dam where Hartmann disappeared to
be thoroughly searched.
