TO BOOST
FOR ROSWELL

A meeting of the Roswell CONNER
cia1 Clubs committee on the Panhan-
die Caetlemen's convention was held
at the club rooms last night, presid-
ed over by M. Price, chairman of the
committee. and attended by goodly
representation of the membership.
The report of the chairman was that
practically all of the amount consid-
cred necessary to entertain the con-
vention had been raised and that the
step now necessary was for every
citizen to boost for Roswell as the
next meeting place of the convention.
To do this, the citizens must of a
necessity go to Amarillo next week
and work for the convention. 1t was
the unanimous decision of the meet
ing that Roswell should go after it
in force and red hot. Incidentally, it
might well be made known that
there is a good prospect of George
Slaughter, of Roswell, being. elected
president of the Association at the
Amarillo convention, and this encour-
ages hard work ON the part of Ros-
well business men to bring the next
convention to Roswell.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to head the delegation to Am
arilbo: G. M. Slaughter, J. F. Hinkle,
M. Price, r. H. Kemp, E. H. Williams,
DIR. G. T. Veal, Ed Seay, R. w. John
ston, r. G. Ingersoll, ]. W.. Poe, r.
d. Bell, X. X. Scott, ]. P. White, T.
d. White, w. A. Johnson, Ed Tyson,
j. 1. Hinkle, of Hagerman, and any
ed that every member of the associa-
ton attend, not only to help bring
the next convention to Roswell, but
also to vote for the proposed change
the words land New Mexico" will
be added after the words .'of Texas"
A small committee will leave here
Monday morning, but the big crowd
will leave Tuesday. 1t is hoped that
this crowd will be enormous.
George Slaughter writes that many
of the members living south of Anna
rillo are working for Roswell for the
next meeting. He also urges the i'm
portance of a big delegation from
Roswell.
r. H. Kemp, w. A. Johnson, G. M.
Slaughter and j. A. Graham were ap-
pointed a committee on railroad
rates, ETC., last night.

CONGRESS MAY INVESTI-
GATE PAPER TRUST,


Washington, April 1S.-In the ev-
ent the attorney general does not
show something substantial has been
done to prosecute the paper trust as
combination in restraint of trade,
congress may go into the trust-fight-
ing business on it's own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne
of the Ways and Means Committee
contend that the tariff has nothing
to do with the high price of print
paper; that if scarcity of the raw
product is not responsible, then the
fault lies with the paper trust which
by combining factories and regulat-
ing the output hold prices up to suit
itself. The speaker does not intend
to rush into trust-fghting, but may
offer a resolution providing for a
searching inquiry by a congressional
committee into the operations of the
paper company. This inquiry, if held,
will touch upon the sources of sup
ply, methods of manufacture and man
ner of distributing the product.
