SAYS LOWER TARIFF
WILL CLOSE 'EM UP
Paper Manufacturing Congressman
breads Hour When Duty on Cam
adian Import Is Cut OF.
Supply Limited
TRv Associated Press.l

APPLETON, Wis, Sept 16.-'Becaust
raw material is much cheaper in Can
ada and labor considerably cheaper we
would have to go out of business If the
tariff on wood pulp were to be cut on,
unless we could obtain higher prices
for our sulphite than we are receiv-
ing at the present time," said Con-
gressman N. w. Jones of Bangor, Me-.
the manager of the Katahdin Pulp and
Paper company, at Lincoln, Me-, before
the congressional investigating COM
mittee today.
Mr.. Jones said that in Maine the pulp
wood supply is perhaps practically in
exhaustible. But in the middle west.
especially in Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota, where most OF the paper
mills are located, the manufacturers
will be obligated soon to procure their
pulp wood from Canada.
"The only thing I see to do" said
Mr.. Jones, '1s to make a treaty with
Canada. Not as tariff, not as a Re-
publican party today and Democratic
Darty tomorrow, but treaty whereby
the tariff on wood pulp would be cut
off If our mills were allowed to pur-
chase pulp wood in Canada at the same
figures that Canadian mills do, but
would also increase the duty on Euro"
pean pulp 100 per cent.
Europe is our greatest competitor
not Canada. The markets of the
United States and Canada are large
enough to use all the wood pup, sui
phite and paper manufactured In this
country and Canada If a treaty were
made and the duty on European goods
decreased"
The taking of testimony will be re-
sumed tomorrow morning in MonaSha

AIDS SENTIMENT
FOR ANNEXATION
OFFICIAL VISIT TO HARB0R
BEARS FRUIT
Harbor Company Signs Contract for
Channel Dredging and viii Ar
range for More Coast
wise Ships

One of the important developments
growing out of the visit OF the Los
Angeles mayor, harbor commission
ers and councilmen to San Pedro
with the army engineers Tuesday was
the reawakening of sentiment in favor
of annexation.
From the expressions made by repre-
sentative San Pedro men there is but
little doubt that annexation will carry.
The principal opposition exists among
saloon men, who fear their privileges
may be curtailed, and railroad men,
who think corporation domination
might be weakened.
Out of the seventy-three persons
present at a meeting some weeks ago
held in connection with the Fourth OF
July celebration, having no bearing on
annexation, sixty-five were for consol-
idation with Los Angeles, said Secre-
tary Bickenbach of the San Pedro
chamber of commerce to the VISITORS
He cited this as evidence that the
shouters against annexation represent
only themselves. In this meeting rep
resentative business, professional, real
ty and steamboat men were on hand.
Sign Channel Contracts
Contracts were clOSeu yeSleiudy ny
the Los Angeles Harbor company for
the dredging of channel from the
present government turning basin to
the west side of the west basin and
along the frontage which the harbor
company has leased from the city
of Wilmington.
The contract was captured by the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific company,
four others bidding.
The contract calls for excavating
100000 cubic yards by July l next year
for a channel 100 feet wide on the bot
tom, 20 feet deep and a mile long.
Director w. ]. Arkell of the COM
pany will go east a month hence to
close contracts for two ships for use
in the Mexican coast trade. These
ships will be brought around from the
Atlantic to the Pacific about February
though temporary wharf room viii be
used If necessary to put these craft
into commission in these waters.
Mr.. Arkell says the harbor company
expects to spend between $15O,OOO and
5000. 900 in the west basin before July,
and within two years at least two MIL
lions will have been spent in Improve
ments.

CAN'T LIMIT HEIGHT

IBx Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The commits
sion appointed about year ago to In
vestigate high buildings in New York
city, and particularly on Manhattan
island, is ready to submit the printed
record of it's work. 1t is said the re-
port points out that it is impossible to
hold the height of buildings down to
the public fire protection because, it is
argued, that -7ould limit buildings to
about 100 feet in height.
The best course In this respect, it is
suggested, is the elimination of low
wooden buildings, to be supplanted by
buildings of the iron cage variety.
1t might reasonably be expected that
restrictions could be made in the inter
est of light and air-restrictions pro-
viding for the stopping of buildings

by the past that regulation will not be
effective. IL Mr.. Roosevelt with all
his strenuosity, has not succeeded in
imprisoning a single trust magnate,

to accomplish in the way Of regula-

Another Trepidation
"The fourth scare which Mr.. Taft
presents is excited by the Democratic
declarations on the tariff questions.
Speaking of our platform proposal to
make such radical reductions as may
be necessary to restore the tariff to a
revenue basis, he declared in his noti-
fication speech that THE introduction
into power of party with this avowed
purpose cannot but halt the gradual
recovery from our recent financial de-
preston and produce business disaster
compare6 with which our recent panic
and depression will seem very small

surely. Mr.. Taft cannot contemplate
any material reduction of the tariff If
he really believes that a gradual re-
turn to a revenue basis would involve
us in any business depression COM

depression will seem small indeed.

OAKLAND STORM LEAVES
ONLY GAS FOR LIGHTING

OAKLAND, Sept. 16.-Oakland was
in darkness most of last night on ac-
count of the storm having injured
many OF the electric lines. 1t was eX-
planned that leaks came as a result
of the rain washing off wires and in
places bending them down until the
circuit was broken.
In addition, outside storms damaged
the big high tension wires coming
from the Sierra Nevadas and added to
the complications. In all of the the
aters last night gas was used.
Most of the streets and stores were
in darkness. The rainfall up to noon
was 16-100 of an inch, against 8-100.
