 of Paper.

New York, June 12.-The direc- tors of the American Newspaper Publishers association at a meet ing held in this city to-day adopted the following resolutions:
 Whereas, the recent congressional investigation of the manufacture and distribution of paper surprised and startled publishers and paper makers by reason of the extraordi- nary revelations in the marketing of paper, and,
 Whereas, the postponement by congress of action upon the propos:- tion to place pulp and printing pa per upon the free list, and the de- cision of its select committee 10 continue the investigation until December next, thrust upon the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation, and upon publishers gen orally, the necessity for continuing their efforts to safeguard and pro- mote their interests, and,
 Whereas. Chairman Mann of the select committee has introduced ln- to congress a bill which indicates dn inclination to ascertain the possi- bility of reciprocity arrangements with Canada, and,

 Whereas, through the vigilance of this association, the pools con- trolling the output of fiber and man. fla paper boards if now under close judicial scrutiny, and it appears that other paper pools are likely to be subjected to the same scrutiny, and,

 Whereas, the paper makers have II vances in price for all kinds of pa per had been forced upon them by reason of reductions in the hours of labor. due to changes from 12- hour shifts to eight-hour shifts, and.
 Whereas, a recent canvass shows that only 29 out of 245 paper mills had made such change, and,
 Whereas, the work thus far done in behalf of this association has been carried on by volunteers. and.
 Whereas. the situation with re- CTS of more than $40.000.000 per annum for news print paper, has reached stage where organized effort and concentrated energy on the part of the publishers seem es- sential to an earnest and aggressive campaign, looking to a broader market, dissolution of paper mak- CTS combinations and the procur- ing of the proper representation of this association before committees of congress and elsewhere, and,
 Whereas the board of directors isI of opinion that John Norris is equipped to undertake these services for the association, now, therefore, be 1t.

FAIR POlYGAMlST.
Being Depored the Second Time.
Eludes Officers Getting in.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 5.-Rather
than deny an article of her faith,
Dephine Doddsworth, a little Eng
lish girl. 21 years old. has twice
submitted 10 exile from those she
holds dear and Jared forth among
strangers homeless. Miss Doddswortc
became a convert of Mormonism IN
England. At the immigration office
in Boston she was asked II she be-
lieved in the practice OF polygamy.

marriage sher eplied.
Under the law no believer in pol.
ygamy can enter the United States.
The girl was set aside for deporta.
tion and later, despite the personal
appeal OF Senator Smoot at Wash.
ington, returned 10 England. An at
tempt 10 enter the United States
by way OF Montreal proved more
successful and two weeks ago the
young woman joined her family in
Salt Lake City. News OF her com.
ing reached the ears OF the immigra.
tion authorities and today she is on
train bound for Montreal in the
custody OF an immigration officer.
