Washington, May 2.--John Norris,
Of New York, representing the paper
committee OF the American Newspaper
Publishers association. Friday con.
tinued his testimony before the select
committee OF the house on pulp and
paper Investigation. He informed the
committee regarding steps taken to
acquaint the attorney general with the
existence OF a paper manufacturers
pool and submitted for the private in
formation fthe committee copy OF
the allegations made by the publishers
embodying the names Of S6 persons
who had knowledge Of the matters
complained Of. Those persons he de-
clored, were not willing witnesses. Mr..
Norris said further that practically
all the evidence he had furnished the
committee had long ago been placed
In the hands Of the attorney general.
II doubt" he SAID, If 1t was even
read"
Mr.. Norris put in evidence a resolu.
ton from labor union representing
100000 men expressing their hearty
sympathy with the movement OF the
publishers against the, paper makers
Medill Mccormick, publisher Of the
Chicago Tribune, disclosed to the COM
mittee that under Ave year contract
with the International Paper company
he was now paying 1920 per hundred
for paper The contract still has one
year to run, although the price during
the time of existence has been grad
ually increased from $1.S5. His pur-
chases, he said, amount to $4,000 or
$4,000 tons yearly. No one he said,
had approached him regarding his
paper supply for next year.
Under a rigid cross examination by
Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Mccormick testified
that shortly before making his last
contract with the International COM
pany he had bought paper from a Wa
tertown, N. Y, mill. Subsequently the
travelling representative Of the Water
town company asked to be relieved OF
It's contract, and on the same day,
within an hour an agent Of the Inter
national company appeared In his Of
fee and asked for the contract He
said he journeyed to New York in the
company Of both gentlemen and the
contract with the Watertown COM
pany was Cancelled as requested. he
could not explain how 1t happened that
the two agents were in Chicago at the
same time.
"Did you suspect any COLLISION" Mr..
Mann asked. The witness answered
that he did not suspect the Water
town companys agent, but he said,
II made up my mind that the Water
town people had been badly frightened
by the International people and re-
member l had q rather angry inter
view In which ! told him he had
'ditchei' me-"
At this point the committee entered
into an informal discussion as to the
probable effect on the house OF Its re-
port. In the opinion Of Mr.. Stafford
the recommendation Of the commit
tee would be followed by the house.

Meeting of United Charities.

There was a meeting of the United
Charaties Association at the Public
Library in the City Hall building
Monday afternoon. The treasury
of the association is well nigh de-
pleted, and the meeting was devoted
largely to a discussion of plans for
raising funds. Owing to the fact that
one of the ward officers has removed
from the city and others have been
unable to undertake the work of so
liciting, several of the wards have
never been canvassed, and this ac-
counts for the lack of funds. Misses
Marianne Bradford and Miriam Will
kinson agreed TO undertake the work
in the first ward, which was formerly
recently removed TO Los Angeles, and
will at once begin canvass for sub
scriptions. This is one of the wealth
lest wards in the city, the subscrip-
tions there last year having amounted
to about two hundred dollars.
The hardest part of the winter is
at hand, and the association is hay-
ing daily calls for aid. Funds are
badly needed, and subscriptions will
be thankfully received. Those who
fail to receive a call from the solici-
tors can send donations TO any Off
Ger of the association.

Mr. stinson and the MayoraIty.

The friends of Mr.. Jno. A Stinson
are urging him to enter the race for
mayor. He is recognized as one of
our most progressive citizens and
possesses many qualifications which
serve To admirably fit him for the
office. Mr.. Stinson was seen by a
Dispatch reported Monday, and stat
ed that while he fully appreciated
the action of his friends in seeking
TO induce him to become a candidate
The pressure of private business
was SO great that he could not yield
to their solicitations. There is, how
ever, well defined movement on foot
TO induce him to become a candidate,
and his friends hope to be able to
persuade him 10 enter the race.
Mr.. Stinson's career as a business
man has been eminently successful,
and this success has come as the re-
suit of enterprise and energy If
elected mayor he would devote the
same untiring zeal 10 the discharge
of the duties of the office that he has
given to private undertakings, and
the progress and prosperity of the
city would be assured.

upon the work of the college, and it
should be appreciated by every citi-
zen Of the State.
The subcommittee COMPOSED Of
Messrs. Holmes, Hill and Dean here
with attach their report on auditing
the books of the secretary and treas
urer.
After getting the data ready rela-
tive to the subfreshmen department,
the Committee invited President Har-
dy to express his opinion as to the
value Of this character of work. He
explained the bill creating the college
and the character of work it was in
tended to accomplish. After looking
at the latter from every standpoint
it is the opinion of the committee
that the work should not be inter
fered with. We call attention to
what is said on this subject on pages
IA to Is Of the biennial report Of this
institution.
We find the property of the State
being we'll cared for, and consider
this institution as doing a great work
for the boys of the State
The reports of the committee on
the University of Mississippi and the
Industrial Institute and College are
of similar import, insofar as the gen
eral character of work is concerned,
the committee giving its cordial ap-
proval of the efforts of the heads of
those institutions and faculty mem
bers
Regarding the University the com
mittee says that the attendance is the
largest in many years, and the insti-
tuition is in excellent shape under
Chancellor Kincannon's management;
that many of the buildings are in de-
plorable condition and badly need re-
pairs; hat the law building is worse
than worthless, and is so leaky that
many of the law books have been
ruined that the dwellings for pro-
fessors are in bad shape; that the
pumphOuse is a misnOmer, and would
not sell for more than So; that the
lighting and heating plant is housed
in temporary structure, and the ma
chinery unfit for service; that new
dormitory for boys is needed; that a
mess hall should be built; that the
capacity of the girls dormitry should
be increased. In conclusion the re-
port says:

are such as should excite the pity of
every patriotic Mississippian. Its
sad neglect is not in keeping with the
progress of the State along industrial
lines, and the representatives of the
people should at least deal justly
with this grand old mother, who for
many years has sent for her sons to
aid in the upbuilding of our country
in every sphere of life.
In regard to the Industrial Insti-
that the main buildings are in excel
lent repair but the interiors of the
dormitories are in bad shape, and
recommends that they be thoroughly
overhauled; that the number of fire
escapes is insufficient; that more ele-
vators should be installed; that new
library building be erected; that the
water supply be increased; that new
pianos be purchased; that gymnasi-
um for women be installed. The re-
port concludes with words of praise
for the splendid management of
President Whitfield and members of
the faculty
