Claims That the Ways and
Means Committee Took
Hand in Plumber.
THE TARIFF QUESTION UP.
ASSERTED THAT PRICE OF PRINT
PAPER WAS MONOPOLY PRICE
AND THAT 1T SHOULD COME IN
FREE OF DUTY.

Washington, March 5.-The charge
was made on the floor of the House OF
representatives yesterday by Mr..
Hitchcock of Nebraska that the COM
mittee on ways and means had been
a party, either knowingly or in ignor-
ance, Ito gigantic schemes of plum
der He was speaking on the tariff
question, with special reference 10 the
duty on wood pulp, although he re-
ferred to other schedules. He declar-
ed that the Paper Trust wrote in the
Dingley bill the paper schedule: that
the Lumber trust wrote the lumber
schedule, the Steel trust the steel
schedule and other trusts wrote other
schedules affecting their interests.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that Exon
er; ex-senator Warner Miller and H.
j. Chrisholm of Maine. all had spoken
before the committee in advocacy OF
the tariff and he charged that six
months after the Dfngley law went in
to effect the International Paper COM
pany was incorporated with these
three gentlemen as it's highest Off
GERS. The real object of those who
secured the Dingley tariff on paper,
he declared, was to capitalize the wat
er power and spruce forests of the
United States, form a great monopoly
and raise the price of print paper in
America.
Another combination, he said, had
grown up in the Western states, oper-
ating side by side with the Information
nal Paper company. The combination
he referred to, he said, had been
known under various names, "and at
one time openly existed as the Gen
eral Paper Company"
The price of paper in the United
States, he declared, was a monopoly
price, and the only escape from it was
to permit print paper to come in free
of duty.

HICKS PREDICTIONS
The Same Old Story of a
Stormy Month Is Re-
peated by Him.
CONDITIONS TO RULE.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks is out with his
long range March weather predictions
and tells the same old story in the
same old way-the greater part of the
month is given over to rain and snow
storms, punctured at frequent inter
walls with sleet storms to break the
monotony Here is the way he would
make us believe the month will be:
The regular storm period for March
is billed to be on deck on the 4th ex-
tending to the 9th. The chances are
that there will be much unsettled
weather extending from the first to
the second period with electrical, trop-
ical storms southwark, severe storms
of rain and wind, turning into bliz-
yards of sleet and snow northward. Do
not forget that Mercury is the "sleet
God and that the tendency to have
sleet storms will likely be numerous
from the Sd to the Goth with three dis
tinct storm periods. All concerned
should figure on some very rough
weather during this and other March
periods with stubborn and unseason-
able cold after the passage Of rain,
sleet and snow storms.
The last period of the month is a
regular Jonah, lasting for five days at
the close of the month. Falling bar
ometer, rising temperature, cloudiness
and seismatic storms will all be crowd
ed into this period, The 30th and 31st
promises to be fierce with storms and
tidal waves, extending over to April
third.
