 Association.

 Thirty-six witnesses signifed their intention of presenting the Committee with information bearing on thls schedule.

 The other articles coming under this schedule regarding which testimony was offered are: Parchment. surface coated and photograph papers. the de- calcomanla and lithographic prints wall paper. postal cards, books and tIs- sue paper,
 George Meyercord, Chairman of the Tarifr Committee of the National As- sociation of Employing Photographers. representing over $50 factories, em- ploying 10000 men, asked for protec- tion for the lithographic product. He said that the present tarifH was very crudely devised and offered suggestions for changing certain paragraphs.
 w. P. Gutter, of Northampton, Mass, spoke of the necessity for having the present tariff, or a lower duty imposed upon books. He spoke from the H. brary point of view.

 The game lends added lustre to Bay Tor on account of Tulane's previous unbroken string of victories.
 This is the first time this season that Tulane has been defeated, and Baylor and Texas arc the only two teams that have scored on them
 There were no fuke plays today. fake play and forward pass landed inc ball within two yards of the goal and on a tumble Duncan conveyed the hall be&nd the line. Robinson Kicked an easy goal. .,
 with the exception of a brief time in the second half the game was play cd in Tulane's territory. Baylor man aged to do this pricipally because of the phenomenal bunting of Robinson. Time after time he booted for fifty yards and just before the close of the game he netted sixty-fve.

TO FIGHT CANNON
TAFT WANTS TO GET ANOTHER
 SPEAKER.
Sherman has Tmterceded, but Taft il Firm That Uncle Joe Must be Beat,
 if Possible.

A Hot Springs, special says: "Presi- dent-elect Taft is convinced tonight that Elihu Root will be elected Sena- tor from New York, and that Joseph G. Cannon should not bs reelected Speaker of the House of Representa- tives.
 James S. Sherman, Vfce-President. elect, and William L. Ward. who came here ostensibly for their respective heaIths. have kept private car on the side track on the top of the mountain three days awaiting the return Of Afr. Taft. They saw him this afternoon for two and half hours at his cottage and told him that Mir. Root should be and would be Senator from New York.
 Mir. Taft said later that he wished to have Mir. Root in his Cabinet, but that there could not be a better man to help the Administration work in Congress He added that he would have Q hard time filling Mir. Roots place in the Cabinet.
 ''Mr. Root is 8 great statesman" he said. He provided always ahead for emergencies"
 MT. Taft made 1t clear that he is taking no part In the New York Sena- torial fight, but that from the informa- tion he had received he thought the election of Root probable.
 It Is the understanding here that both Mr. and Mrs. Root desire to be rid of the exacting social duties required of the Secretary of State.
 Taft Firm Against Cannon. Sherman's mission was to beg for Cannon. He took assurances to Mir, Taft that Cannon would be good in the next four years, but MT. Taft knows from observation the attitude of Cannon toward policies that soon are to become his own and is sceptical of the speak CTS sincerity.
 It can be said that the President elect is convipcej that the Speak CT must not occupy the chair at the next session. Only the practical method of Cannon's defeat remains to be settled.
 MT. sherman told Mr. Taft that Can non cannot be beaten. Yet sherman ad- mitted later, when asked what will hap pen if Taft backs some ono else, that is different.
 William. l.. Ward. conversant with House conditions, says that any one can beat Cannon If it is known that the new Administration Is against the Speaker.
 Congressman Burton, of ohio, is the man whom the next Administration would like to see in the Speker's chair.
 The visit today of Messrs. sherman and Ward was the beginning Of series of conferences with the larger mem of the party on measures and men. MT. Taft says he will not make up the final list of his Cabinet until early In February or at least until after tho Christmas holidays. It Is likely that if MT. Root goes to the Senate George vor L. Meyer will be made Secretary of State, and that will leave the Treas urv folio open. Myron T. Her ricl. of Ohio, has been mentioned for that place.

for the restriction of the free list. so that books printed in foreign lan> Euages will be dutlable.
 B. A. VanwInkle, of Hartford City Ind. and R. s. Elliott, of Hempstead. l.. l., sought a slight increase in the duty on parchment papers by having the classification changed
 Henry P. Faber of New York, asked for an increase of 100 per cent In the duty on surface coated papers.
 John Norris, Chairman of the Com- mltfea on Paper of the American News paper Publishers Association, spoke on the tariR on pulp and print paper. He submitted reports showing that the In- transitional Paper Company, had made e profit of $s.79 per ton on every ton of paper 1t has produced during the last ten yeaEs; that 1t had made q profit of 29 per cent on cost of manu- featuring and that the average price obtained by 1t since the passage of the Dingley bill was $1l.9l per ton in ex- cess of the price which prevailed when that bill was passed.
 He submitted figures showing that the labor employed in the paper indus try received less than that of any other occupation, averaging &1.53 per production to prove that paper could be made cheaper in the United States than in Canada or in Europe.
 MT. Norris also showed that 1880 square miles of woodland are slipped every year to make pulp and paper and that one million cords of pulp wood are brought annually from Canada, which is the sole source, of supply of tWenty-three important news print mills. Mr. Norris furnished names and dates to confirm his charge That the paper famine in 1907, was caused by the manipulation of John A. Eavis, of H. D. Craig and Company, New York. who bought up 10000 tons of news print paper at that time to starve tho market"
 Mir. Norris called attention to the action of American paper makers who had by threats driven out of the eoun- try a supply of 10000 tons of news print which had been bought under contract. dated February ], 1908, by $. A. Cook. of NeenRh. Wis, from Belgo- Canadian mill. at Shawingan Falls. Quebec, for use In the American mar ket."

 drenm from Printed Sheet.


 rrh. EmperOr Ignored His General
 Custom of Speaking ExtempO-
 rame0usIy and Read Ad-
 dre9m from Printed Sheet.
 Rerlin. Nov, 21.-Emperor William r,sda his first appearance in public to- dav since the occasion of his inter- view with Chancellor Von BueIoW last Tuesday. when the Prince urged on his majesty the need of speaking and acting only on the advice or nls re- sponsible ministers, and he gave atriIrInr example of his readiness to observe the obligation then laid upon him. ,.,.,
 The occasion was the centennial eel ahration of the formation of the City Council. When the Emperor arose to ascend the tribune, Prince won BueIoW stepped forward and Imprsssively hand ed him a printed sheet. and the Elm peror. ignoring his general custom of speaking extemporaneously, confined hts remarks to what was on this pa per.
 After A few formal expressions, his majesty made the following reference to recent occurrences;
 "I cherish a firm confidence that the bond of loyalty and affection which. from ancient times in our fatherland, has so closely joined the King and the citizens, the prince anu the peopIe, AL- ways will remain unbroken. If. ac- cordinR to the words of tho Prussian national hymn, "The sun cannot always shine and dull days must occur" then the rising clouds should never cast their shadow between me and my peo- pie"
 The Nord Deutsche zeitung. refer ring to the Emperor's declaration to Prince won Buelow on the occasion of the interview of this week, says the German press has almost unanimously expressed sincere satisfaction there with. An overwh elming majority of the German nation feel deeply thank fuI for the Emperor's high minded re- solve in the matter of his imperial duties as set forth in The Reichs An HeiRer. The nation possesses the Pa yer Kus, a guarantee for the contin- nance of that confidence between the crown and the people which, in the past. has given rise to such splendid achievements. His majesty's resolve appears the more high minded because it was takn in spite of the undeniable congregations of the public criticism, which the Emperor must have felt was unjustthable.

All Eyes on Basket Ball Game
 Thanksgiving With Columbus

night say that they had never con ceived that a basket ball could be passed with the rapidity shown by the Montgomery players If they had been pressed the Montgomery team would most likely have run the score up to 100 points, which shows how fast the team was going.
 Myers. the latest addition to the team. fills in most admirably in the method of play used by the MontEom- cry team. He Is young and fast and together with the old heads on the team can make any of them hustle to keep up with him. Columbus has a fast pair of forwards but the local management believes that Montgom- cry has a team which this year will be able to stall off the fast playing of the Columbus boys and Montgomery expects to land the game. The team will hold several hard practices this week in preparation for the game, The largest attendance of the season is predicted for this game.
