NEWSPAPERS CALL
FOR SQUARE DEAL
Members of Associated Press
Demand immediate Relief
From Paper Trust.
OBJECT TO DIlATORY TACTICS
Insist That Congress Take Action at
Once-COmplain of False Re-
ports About Prices.

New York, April %. - The annual
meeting of the Associated Press was
held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel yes
terday with an exceptionally large at
tendance of members from every sec
ton of the country. Aside from the
transaction of purely routine business
affecting the organization the most
important action taken was the pre-
sentation and adoption of an address
asking the president and the congress
to grant immediate relief from the
exactions of combinations of paper
makers" The address as adopted is
as follows:
Ask Immediate Relief.
Representative of TIA daily news
papers gathered at the annual meet
ing of the Associated Press respect
fully ask the president and congress
to grant immediate relief from the eX-
actions Of combinations of paper
makers. In September, 1907, and
again in November, 1907, the atten-
ton Of the authorities was directed to
the excessive prices then demanded
by the paper combination. Immedl-
ately upon the assembling of congress
twenty or more bills aiming to correct
these conditions and to put paper and
pulp on the free list were introduced
and referred to the ways and means
committee Persistent efforts to OBJ
tain a hearing have been refused. Dill
atory tactics have been employed to
prolong present conditions and to car
nv over to another session of congress
every proposition designed for relief.
All newspapers here represented pro-
test against delay.
False Reports About Prices.
Attention is also directed to the
false reports of news print paper
prices which were recently furnished
to congress by the director Of the CEN
sus bureau. The newspapers here
represented use pproXimately 80 per
cent Of the news print paper con-
sumed in the United States. We de-
nounce the quotations as submitted to
congress as misleading and unworthy
of credence. The reiteration of the
accuracy of these figures of the dl-
rector after the error had been called
to nub?ic attention tends to shake pub
lie confidence and respect for status
tics thus compiled"

that smothered the pounding of the
vice presidents gavel attested the
warmth of the reception given by the
crowded galleries of the senate to the
speech of Senator Foraker in defense
of the colored soldiers discharged
without honor by the president be-
cause of their supposed connection
with the Brownsville affair The day
was made notable in the annals of
senatorial oratory. Never in the his
tory of the senate have the galleries
SO fully surrendered to representa-
tives of the negro race, more than
half of the crowd that filled every
available seat and standing room be-
ing occupied by them
The expected fight in the house of
representatives over the question
whether there shall be two or four
battleships authorized for the coming
year did not materialize yesterday
while the naval appropriation bill was
under consideration. Instead most OF
the session was devoted to lively de-
bate in regard to naval stations in the
Philippines. The supporters of the
Subig bay station, led by Messrs. Foss
and Hobson, were victorious.

ception of Messrs. Cooper and Nelson
of Wisconsin, Republicans, the house
yesterday, by strict party vote, de-
clared that the action of Speaker Can

subject of interest in the senate yes
terday, when Senator Borah of Idaho
took the ground that the negro SOL
diers of the Twenty-fifth infantry
were guilty of the raid that occurred
in the Texas town Aug. 1914, 1906
Mr.. Borah analysed the testimony
taken in this case and declared that
no reasonable man could read it and

Permit Granted ThaW to Sign Applica-
ton for Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April 22.-The
first step in proceedings looking to
the release of Harry K Thaw from
the state asylum for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan was taken yester-
day. James G. Graham of Newburgh,
formerly secretary to Gov. Odell, ap-
peared as ThaW's counsel before JUS
tice Morschauser of the New York
state supreme court at White Plains
and applied for an order directing the
superintendent of the asylum to per-
nit Thaw to sign an application for a
writ of habeas corpus. The order was
promptly granted and it will probably
be served upon the acting superin-
tendent of the asylum at once.
According to the usual procedure
in such cases Thaw will sign the ap-
plicatiOn for writ of habeas corpus,
which will then be submitted to a
justice of the supreme court, proba-
bly, Justice MOrschauser The date
when the writ is returnable is fixed to
suit the convenience of all parties
concerned. Then Thaw will appear
before justice of the supreme court
for a hearing to determine whether
he should be released from the asy-
lum as sane

DO BETTER SEPARATED.

Teacher of Pedagogy Comes Out in
Favor Of Sex Segregation.
DR.. NJ. V. O'Shea, professor of sci
ence and art Of education in the state
university, advocated segregation of
the sexes in the current number of
the Wisconsin Journal of Education,
He declares that in a few years more
the public will witness a notable
struggle for a change in the educa-
tional system.
He says: without anticipating
what may be said later. it may be
proper to point out at this time that
there is a rising tide of criticism in
this country against our system of CO.
education.
Physicians quite generally agree
that the girls should not be subjected
to practically the same education as
the boys. at least after the high
school period is reached. Teachers
beyond the elementary schools are be-
ginning to feel that they might sue
coed better with their classes if there
were not a mixture Of sexes in them.
DR.. John Bascom of Boston, the
venerable educator who was presi-
dent of the University of Wisconsin
from 1874 to 1887, is opposed to the
movement for sex segregation in the
classroom at the university. In let
ter to a friend in Madison the former
president makes a strong plea against
the proposed innovation. Il feel sure .
he says, that those who in their own
experience have come fully under CO.
education will not willingly surrender
any portion Of its advantages.

Washington, April 18. - Injunction
against the enforcement of state laws
can only be issued by majority of
three federal judges who are to pass
upon them, if a bill that passed the
senate yesterday becomes law. The
bill was drafted in the judiciary COM
mittee from a number of measures
under consideration.
The senate discussed at length the
bill to appropriate the proceeds of the
sale of certain public lands for the
reclamation of swamp lands, but
made little progress toward its pas
sage.
The attitude of Emperor William
and the Berlin court toward David
Jayne Hill, named by the president to
be ambassador at that capital, was
the subject of comment in the house
of representatives yesterday during
the consideration of the diplomatic
and consular bill. Both Mr.. Perkins
of New York and Mr.. Slayden Of Tex
as expressed the opinion that the OBJ
iections to Mr.. Hill were due to no
other cause than that Mr.. Hill was
financially unable to maintain a GER
tain standard of social representa-
ton.
Each of them condemned the practice
which they said had grown up of Sc
lecting men of great wealth to be the
nations diplomatic representatives
abroad, and urged as a means of coun-
teracting the effect of such a policy
the housing of our diplomats in build
ings by the government and the allow
ance to them of salaries sufficient to
enable them to maintain the dignity
of their high Office.

POWER OF RATE BOARD.
Validity of Railroad Commission Act
Attacked by Companies.

Attacked by companies.
The supreme court has put over un-
til the next assignment the so-called
500 case, which questions the validity
of the railroad rate commission act.
This case was first argued three
months ago when the court asked for
further arguments on three questions,
fundamental to the life of the commits
sion:
what is the scope of review by the
courts of order of the railroad COM
mission of Wisconsin, contemplated
in the railroad commission act?'
What is the true construction of
the word unreasonable in said sec
tion?"
In these questions is involved the
general proposition of the constitu-
tionality of the law itself and the pow
err of the legislature to delegate wide
rover to the commission. The princl-
pie of rate regulation, vital to every
commission in the country, is in
volved in this question.
The state has retained H. L. But
Ter of Madison as counsel, and he and
Deputy Attorney General Russell
Jackson are preparing the case for ar
gument.
Extensive briefs have been filed by
the Northwestern, Milwaukee and
the Omaha, although the case is only
in the name Of the 500. This indicates
how determined the railroads are in
the fight. Besides this brief on the
part of the public utility companies
of the state has been filed by MilWau-
kee attorneys. The briefs filed do
not attack the constitutionality of the
law outright. but there is an underly-
ing vein. which if confirmed by the
court, would limit the commissions

president was more interested in this
increase than in any other question
before congress, and as practically all

this was a good opportunity to live up
to that declaration.

more decided majority than was Mr..
