Paper From Cotton Stalks.

Some recent experiments have d.mor-
strated that all grades Of paper can pe
manufactured from cotton stalks, and in

quantities. On the estimate that an acre
Of land producing field of cotton will also
produce one ton of stalks. 100000 or IT,
100000 tons Of raw material can be de-
pended upon annually. Some enthusiast
claims that In addition to increasing the
value Of the south's annual cotton crop by

the fields early in the fall will mean the

PAYMENTS TO POLICE
WILL RECEIVE MONEY FROM DE-
LINoUENT HEADS OF FAMILIES.

As q means of material assistance to fami-
lies In securing the support Of delinquent
husbands or fathers the Commissioners will
direct the officers in charge Of the various
police stations to accept such payments
from fathers and husbands as are pre-
scribed by the courts. Saturday afternoons
after the Juvenile Court, which passes on
such cases. has closed for the day. The or
der of the Commissioners Is based on a
recommendation Of Judge DeLacy Of the
Juvenile Court
When he suggested the plan to the Com
misioners Judge DeLacy said that fire.
Quently sentenced imposed upon delinquent
husbands and fathers charged with nom
support are suspended on condition that a
stated sum be paid weekly to the clerk Of
the court to be devoted to the maintenance
of their respective families, and that many
delinquents receive their wages Saturday
afternoons and evenings, after the adjourn
ment Of the court and after the departure
of the clerk.
Judge DeLacy said: ITO enable such hus-
bands and fathers to keep faith with the
court and to remove from them the tempta-
ton to spend this money If left in their
possession over Saturday night and Sun
day It would be q good idea to have them
pay the amounts agreed upon at the sta
ton houses OF the precincts In which they
reside"

When the proposition was first referred
to Maj. Sylvester. chief Of police, he did
not favor it. He said that under the law
the captain and the officers performing
the duty Of clerks at the station houses
are authorized to accept co1laterals and
receive all lost and stolen money and prop
erty, and that he is of the opinion the ad-
d1t1onal duty would make their RESPONSE
bil1ty greater. and If any complications
over payments should arise at any time

While the police department. Maj. Syl-
vester remarked, us disposed to do any
thing 1t can to aid In enforcing the laws,
1t occurs to me where the clerk of the
court is made the responsible party for the
reception of these moneys they should be
paid to him direct or to the guardian, GUS

charge of minor child or children. How
ever, this department will be glad to abide

Commissioner West made a motion today,
after conference with Judge LeLacy, to
grant this request, which motion has been
approved by Commissioner Bddle Mr.
West said the arrangement which is pro-
posed is In addition to the legitimate duty
OF the police force. but 1t will be Of great
assistance In the administration of the

out that 1t will also be of material assist

Described as a Calamity.

1.-THE Presidents order is the worst calam-
ity that has happened to the negro since
emancipation. 1t caters to southern pretu-
dice and race hate. and is 'Tillmanic' and
outrageous"
The speaker claimed the Presidents
square deal and open-door policy Is the
highest type of hypocrisy. The negro had
grown blind looking for square deal, and
in his blindness had been led to the open
door and kicked out. He claimed the Pres-
dent may have had the right to dismiss, but
not to punish. The right to do both without
a trial was to Guido the Gear Of Russia in
unbridled authority. In conclusion he said:
THE President Is answerable to the people.
The wholesale punishment Of the 18th In
fantry has brought a storm of disapproval
from every section" DIR. johnson then drew

while, through laxity of discipline at the
fort, his comrades were regaling the town
and furnishing the occasion for the wiping
out of the 18th Infantry.
At the close of DR.. Johnson's speech Rev.
S. L. Corrothers made a few remarks, and
closed by announcing that there would be
mass meeting at the church next Monday
night under the auspices of the colored cit
liens committee on public school affairs.

"How about the law2 the law?

After telling in detail how the
negro is prevented from casting his
ballot in the South, Mr.. Til1man
said:
"Now az general illustration of
the injustice that Ia sometimes done,
President Roosevelt discharged three
companies of colored soldiers with
out court-martial, and, in doing
this, he punished innocent men for
the crime of few. In doing this
he transcended the authority of the

it," s. aa: -.g -.s .,-. ...4...

No other statement was made by
the senator, who was Immediately
driven to his hotel.
About dozen police officers in
uniform and a number of others in
plain clothes were in the depot, but
there was no demonstration of any
kind, nor were there any negroes
in or about the depot.
After visiting his hotel. Mr.. Till
man was invited by a plumber of
friends to stte-d q luncheon at the
Iroquois Club. While there he
made short address, in which he
said:r t

prisir G that number of citizens
should claim that a senator of the

brought on the civil war. In this
case, however, the interference is
north of the Mason and Dixon line

it is quite likely that the case of
Jasper Jennings for the murder of

Jasper and his sister Dora were

that the jury returned Its verdict.
Dora was tried second and was ac-
quilted. Her case was fairly pre-
sented and no evidence of the state
was excluded; for this reason her
acquittal leaves Jasper in the situ-
alton of presumptive accessory
with no principal. Under these con-
ditions, go attorneys state, go there
is really no case against the boy,
the decision of the supreme court
being almost equivalent to allowing
him his liberty.
Every particle and scrap of evil

guns can make it. New York has two
doors TO be forced by hostile fleet
which would capture the city-a front
door and back door. The front door
lies in the Lower Bay and the back
door is at the eastern entrance of the
Sound. New York presents in front
the geographical formation known as
a bottle harbor" the neck Of the
bottle being at the Narrows and pro-
longed by the channels which lead to
it out beyond Sandy Hook. In the
first place, the shoals through which
these channels run form natural pro-
lection to the city.
Every channel from the Sandy Hook
>whistling buoy off Gedney's, up to the
NarroWs, is plotted on charts in the
possession Of the army and laid out
into squares. In the center of every
square is place for submarine
mine. In time .nf-Mar-thase mines
would all be planted and their position
marked on charts laid on 'sp1ain ta~

ton. and at Fort Hancock at Sandy

houses at the forts would keep a care.

By looking through an instrument
somewhat similar to theodolite, the
observer at Fort Wadsworth, for in
stance, could tell just how hostile
ship bore from him, and the observer
at Hamilton would see how it bore
with relation to himself by looking
through a similar instrument. Say
the observer at Fort Wadsworth is to
fire the mine. He knows his own an
gle and gets by telephone the angle
of the observer at Fort Hamilton. He
has two little arms affixed to his
plane-table, one starting from the point
of the chart representing Hamilton
and one from the point representing
Wadsworth. He shifts these arms to
the given angles and where they in
tersect there is the square in which
the battleship is passing. He touches
button and the submarine mine does
the rest.
This, in general terms, is the
scheme of defense, aside from the
guns ana batteries of great mortars.

vided by man a hostile fleet would
