NO SECRET RECORD
INVESTIGATION OF THE ALLEGED
 PAPER TRUST.
Chairman Mann, of Select COngressiOn- al Committee, Refuses to Receive in Confidence Names of News
 nauer PubIinhera.


 Washington. May That there will be no secret record in the committee of the House investigating the wood pulp and print paper question, was made evident today when Chairman Mann refused to receive from a witt ness, in confidence, the names of cer- tain newspaper publishers. The incl dent arose during the testimony of c. l.. Knight, publisher of the Akron. Ohio, Beacon Journal
 Mir. Knight had stated that to his knowledge, the increase in the price of paper had wiped out the profits of a number of papers in Ohio and in fact had forced one of them to the necessity of borrowing money to meet its pay rolls. When called upon by Chairman Mann to give the names of these publishers, he declined to do so on the ground that the informatio came to him in a personal manner and that the publishers had been Init hard enough already without proclaiming to the world that they were bankrupt"
 He did say, however, that he wouId give the names to the committee in confidence and that the committee could summon them and they could tell their experiences of they, so de- sired.
 Chairman Mann refused to receive the names under this condition, stat ms tHdl II he was dpIc to pTeVenI. II, the committee would receive no in- formation that did not go into the record. A large number of publishers of newspapers in different sections of the country were examined today and they all told the same story of steady advance in the price of paper. Among the publishers heard was Frank B. Moves, president of the Associated Press, and editor and publisher of The Record Herald. who told of going into the market. owing to a fear of a scarcity of paper. and buying 900 tons of paper at $2.45 per hum fred pounds, when the maximum of lis contract price with another com. oany was $40.
 The committee will leave tomorrow Tor Corinth, N. T., where an investiga- ton of the Hudson River Mill will be had.

MAY GRANT DIV0RCES
 TO MCKEE AND WIFE

Paris, May 7.-The legal expert of the court presented his conclusion Of the Mckee divorce case today. His find- ing was in favor of granting di- vorce holding both MT. and Mrs. Mo- Kee responsible. Formal Judgment will be rendered May If. The suit was brought in this city by Mrs. A. Hart Mckee, formerly Mrs. Hugh Travis. The first hearing took place in March.
 In presenting his conclusions, the le- gal expert related the history of the Mckee marriage, described by Mir. Me- Kee and his wife as spoiled children of fortune" who had fallen desperate ly love with each other. Marriage, the day after his divorce. was atonement for whatever had occurred before mar riage He said Mir. Mckee was a man of uncomfortable temper which always had been interested in occult1sm and magic, that he had been guilty of great violence towards his wife, ana that the repeated scenes of violence had seriously affected her health.
 He strongly condemned the hus- bands action, after the application for divorce had been filed, instituting an infamous inquisition" among Mrs. Mo Kee's servants, and he characterized the public revelation of the contents of the wife's love letters as Mckee as A CTOWnIHB against a WOHldn whose principal fault was that she low ed him too much. Nevertheless the law expert concluded. the charges that Mckee had tried to starve his wife, mal-treated her child. stolen her jew elryetc., had been substantiated.
 As for Mrs. Mckee, although she per haps had been guilty of lack of tact, the charges that she had had unlawful relations with her chauffeur and an Italian nobleman had not been proved She did nothing serious before July 1907 when her love seemed to turn to hate and she began making scandalous and unwarranted charges against Mir. Mo Kee. In his final conclusion that the divorce should be granted of neither the husband nor the wife, the legal expert says such a decision would avoid dishonoring two families who enjoy a good reputation in America and that 1t would also spare the chill dren.
 The expert found that the French courts are competent to try defama- tion suit against Colonel Baxter. Mrs McKee's father. which has grown out of the divorce case. but he declared that neither Colonel Baxter nor his wife was involved in the divorce issue

CIVIL SERVICE coMMtss1oNs.

Second Biennial Convention of Nation.
 al Assembly COnvenes
 Chicago. May 7.-The second biennial convention of the National Assembly of Civil Service Commissions opened here today with a large attendance. Corporation Counsel Edward J. Brun- dage delivered an address of welcome to which responses was made by Pres tdent Charles s. Fowler of Albany, N. Y. Later in the day addresses were made by Elton Lower President of the Chicago City Civil Service Commission, who spoke on "the practical adminis- tration of civil service laws"
 Mir. Lower declared that civil ser vice in the abstract and in detail are vastly different propositions. He said that while the competition Is a sound principle. it's practical operation is an uns0lved problem. The speaker de- clared that there is less efficiency in the admins stration of civil service than In any other branch of government. and declared that the chief cause of this condition Is to be found in the hrief tenure of officials charged with the enforcement of civil service laws
 Charles S. Fowler President of tho Assembly; F. E. Doty of Wisconsin and Frank N. Higgins. chief examiner of the United States Civil Service Com mission. also spoke.

INSTRUCT FOR BRYAN
MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS IN
 STATE CONVENTION.
There Was Mach Disorder and the Chairman Had To Call on the Police to Clear the
 Platform.

Boston. May With some opposi- ton to instructions in favor of William J. Bryan for the Presidential candi- date although such instructions were adopted finally. and with a more de- cided contest over the selection of del- egates at large, the Democratic State Convention today elected four leaders to represent the State at the Denver Convention.
 The delegates chosen were: George Fred Williams of Dedham; District Attorney John B. Moran of Boston; former Mayor John W. Coughlin or Fall River. and Daniel J. Doherty of Westfield.
 The aiternates chosen were: J. P. Kane of Lawrance; William A. Daven- port of Greenfield; Thomas F. Kenny of Boston and Edward w. Gallagher of Lowell.
 Opposition to the instruction plank was voiced by Professor Alex +. Chamberlain of Clark University, wor- cester. but his effort to obtain recon sideration was ignored. The main contest came on the selection of four delegates and principally over the name of George Fred Williams. For two hours, Faneuil Hall resounded with shouts, cries, speeches and mo. tions from various party leaders and the chairman had difficulty in main taining a semblance of order. At one time he was obliged to call upon the police to clear the platform.
 Some of the speeches were extreme ly bitter but all the speakers pleaded for harmony.
 A roll call on the question of the choice of the four delegates by accla- nation was finally carried by a vote of 40S to 152.
 Previous to the meeting of the con- vention, there was a spirited contest
  over the instruction plank. A conn promise was effected and while the plank was retained, 1t was modified so as to apply only to the four delegates elected at today's convention. The Bryan advocates wished the instruct ions to embrace the entire Massachu- setts delegation to Denver.
 The platform is as follows:
 "The aims of the Massachusetts Da- mocracy are:
 "Railroads restricted 10 fair profits on fair valuation restrained from dls- crfmination by Imprisonment of ofi- cials.
 .AFonopolies, if public. brought under rigid public control; if private, de- stroyed.
 A fiscal policy of tariff for reve- nue only; a free list for trust con- frolled products; income and inherit ance tax and graded and enforced
 "A financial system with government guarantee of bank deposits, the treas ury surplus loaned with security at interest at competition and postal sav- fngs banks.
 "A foreign policy of independence to the Philippines. American leadership in arbitration and disarmament. ''Constitutional requirements prevent fng encroachments by the executive upon coordinate branches; restraining invasion of State rights by national authority: the laws be declared uncon- stitutlonal only by Supreme Courts; for election of United States Senators | by the people. .sProhibition of-gambling In neces- sities of life. law; jury trials for contempts in la- | bor injunctions; public conciliation of i strikes and lock-outs;- abolition of the | fellow servant rule; like rules of com

 The opening argument for the com pany was made by John S. Miller. Mir.
