Negotiate Terms.

There was a period of negotiations over terms, Waddell said, and it finally was agreed that he would have 51 per cent of the profits and the Duponts the remaining 49 per cent. He said that up to February 2, when he left the big company he had every reason to believe that the Duponts were to be his partners, but then the negotiations were broken off Alone, he organized the Buckeye Powder company and started to erect a mill at Peoria, Ill. He experienced great difficulty in get ting machinery for his mills finding that many of the manufacturers of the best machinery were under contract to furnish machinery only to companies in the big association.

 Waddell said that whereas the price of blasting powder in Illinois had been $I.35 per keg immediately after the building of his mills was commenced all the associated powder companies reduced blasting powder to s1.10 fiat price in the district that would be reached by his mills

PAPER TRUST
PEOPLE TALK
Insist That the Tariff on Wood
Pulp Should Be Made
Prohibitive.

Appleton, Wis. Sept 1S-Instead of re-
moving the tariff on wood pulp Frank j.
Sensenbrenner. vice president of the Kim
Derry & Clarke company. the largest
individual paper concern in this country.
testified today before the congressional
investigation committee, that the tariff
should be boosted to a prohibitive point
and thereby force Canada into submission
regarding the free expectation of pulp
wood Concerning the removal of duty
on wood pulp Mr.. Sensenbrenner said posi-
lively that the American manufactures
could not make ground wood against
canadian competition If wood pulp We're
10 be admitted free of duty.
MI SenSenbrenner presented figures
showing that since 1873 the price of print
paper has decreased from about to less
than cents per pound. Average prices
Tor each year since 1879 were presented
and the price per hundred pounds ranged
from s1.21 To $l.69. the price reached in
1881, and the lowest at which print paper
has ever been sold in this country
The witness explained that the cause
or the decrease in the price of print pa
per was the installation of larger and
faster running machines. Chairman Mann
of the committee asked Mr.. Sensenbren-
ner why the eastern mills were able to
make print paper cheaper than in the
west. where some of the mills are To-
Gated almost in the heart of the fields or
raw material the answer being that the
fasteners evidently are better managers
or manufacturers.
M. II. Ballou, of the Menasha Paper
company, testified as follows.
There is plenty OF pulp wood in the
country to last the mills century. but
the question TO be solved Is how TO get
ii to the mills"

HOW SMOOT GANG
BEAT WALTON
Former State Chairman Loses
Nomination for State Sena-
torShlp in First District.
CONVENTION AT LOGAN
WILL BE HELD in AUDITORIUM
INSTEAD OF TABERNACLE.

Wesley X. Walton. until recently, char
man of the Republican state committee.
has acquired some specific information
about the ingratitude of senatorial dis
tricts. Mr.. Walton is the only Republican
who has been able 10 carry the First sem
atorial district which comprises Rich
Morgan and Davis counties. He is the
present senator and has had an ambition
10 be reelected 10 that position, with the
idea in mind of adding the position OF
president OF the state senate 10 the other
honors he has honestly won during an
active and honorable life All along there
has been practically no opposition to his
denomination. That is, apparently no OPP
position. Mr.. Walton has ever had the
habit OF doing his own thinking and IL is
an open secret that he has little sympathy
with the political methods of the men who
control Republican politics in Utah for
their own financial advantage. Also. Mr..
Walton has been sure bet for Sm0ot
for senator. He has been more than
pleased 20 sustain him as apostle at the
regular conferences of the church, but
there has been some doubt to Mr..
Walton's sympathy with Shoots political
ambitions. Hence the woe for Mr.. Wal
ton in this year of stress for Smoot.
Shortly before the senatorial convention
was held in Pennington on Wednesday,
IL developed that Mr.. Walton was not
satisfactory - the federal machine. A
man who would stay put was wanted.
MOroni Heiner, a Morgan county man,
had been endorsed by his county. but he
also was not up TO the requirements.
First of all. r. p. Ellison of Layton was
proposed and he might have been put
through had not previous defeats for the
same place after nomination rendered him
a doubtful man at the polls. and Chris
topher Burton. jr., of Kaysville, was
finally agreed upon.
In the convention. Rich county had
five votes. all pledged to Walton, and
faithful to him TO the end. Morgan
county had six votes. all for Heiner from
beginning to end. Davis county had six
teen votes. Of these two were for Wal
ton and one. Joel Parrish of Centerville.
was instructed by his primary to vote
for Heiner, the Morgan candidate. With
a total of twenty-seven votes in. the con-
vention. IL was impossible for a man with
only thirteen VoteS-all remaining In Davis

the situation of any Davis county candi-
date. However. Parrish never voted for
Heiner. not even complimentary ballot
did he cast Tor the man In accordance
with the definite Instructions given him.
IT was said after the convention that
James Eldredge of the Davis stake pres
idency was instrumental in influencing
Parrish 10 drop Heiner and so break faith
with the men who had sent him TO the
convention. Three ballots were required.
On the final ballot Walton received seven
votes. Eeiner six and Burton fourteen

GOMPERS WOULD NOT REPLY
Taking of Testimony in Contempt
Case Closed for the
Time Being.

Washington. Sept 1s.-The taking of
testimony in the contempt proceedings
against Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison, officers of the Federation of
Labor, came suddenly to a temporary
close today. Mr.. Davenport sought TO
question Mr.. Gompers concerning
editorials printed in the special num-
Der of the Federationist, and on ad-
vice of counsel Mr.. Gompers refused to
answer because the utterances had
been made since the filing of the con-
tempt petition. A number of questions
bearing upon this issue were put to the
witness, and it was agreed that they
should be certified TO Judge Gould to
determine whether they were relevant.
1t is probable that they will be pre-
sented 10 the court on Monday.
The first of Mr.. Davenport's ques-
tons put to Mr.. Gompers today related
to the effect of the editorial printed in
the Federationist for January, 1908, but
the witness contended in reply TO the
interrogatories that the article could
not have had the effect of melting its
readers to violate the terms of Judge
Gould's injunction decree.

KLINE DEFENDS FORAKER.
Standard Oil Attorney Had Not
Heard of Latest L etters.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Virgil p. Kline. for
many years attorney for the Standard
Oil company in Ohio, just before his de-
parture on an evening train for Cleveland
declared that there was no mystery as to
Senator Forakers work as an attorney
for the Standard Oil company. He had
personally engaged Mr.. Foraker, he said
as counsel for the company in suits of
custer which were pending against the
corporation in the state of Ohio. Mr.
Kline added:
II wanted Mr. Foraker as counsel for
the company in Ohio cases because
knew him to be lawyer of uncommon
ability.
''These cases were brought in an effort
TO drive US out of the state, and in the
course of defending them l recollect dis
tinctly holding many conferences with
Mr.. Foraker regarding them. / am
Democrat and / have always fought For
aker and always will, I expect
Referring to dispatches from Cleveland
that Mr.. Foraker's name did not appear
as an attorney of record in the Ohio case
during the years when the custer cases
were pending, Mr.. Kline said that this
was a surprise to him.
my recollection is that Mr. Foraker
filed at least one brief in those cases"
the attorney said. Il cannot understand
why his name should not appear on the
records. Nothing he did as counsel for
the Standard conflicted In any way with
his duties and obligations as a United
States senator

Here Is how the story runs: Yesterday

Arriving at the farmhouse Ernest told
his rather that there was an animal so
strange of appearance in the field, such a
one as he had never seen, nor yet heard
tell Oft might be a dinosaurs or an
ichthyocaurus. but it certainly was not
anything like any of the animals that
roamed the Williams domain. 1t had taken

The dog, whose name unfortunately was

first offer of combat. The stranger, which
hereafter will be known as the moose,
accepted the challenge and made a sally
Interested in his work of annihilating
the dog, the moose came within close
