Paris, an acknowledged authority on
aeroplanes. believes that the Wright
brothers may break all records In
their projected flight AT lie Mans.
There has been a good deal or 1eai-
ousy on the part OF some French aero
nauts In regard to the pretentions OF
the Wrights. but Farman, Peyrey and
others are lending all their influence
for fair trial.
Wrlehts Will try for ouInto Prize.
Special interest at the moment lies
In the statement that the Wrights VIII
try for the Quinto prize Of $4,000. des'
tined TO the first aviator which can
sustain itself In the air for Ave min
utes without descending more than
fifty yards, the motor being stopped.
Marcel Desprez, OF the institute. has
exhibited a platinum model OF tiny
aeroplane which fulfilled all these con-
ditions when tested in the laboratory.
At the experiments OF the Wright
brothers every precaution will be
taken TO guard the race track at lie
Mans. where Wilbur Wright expects
10 make his first flight. The public
will be entirely excluded from the
track, but stands will be erected at
numerous vantage points nearby for
the spectators.
James ]. Hill has given up his
apartment in the Champs Elysees,
which during the nine years OF his
tenancy has rarely been occupied
more than five weeks at time.
small staff OF servants have been kept
on and the Hill family comes over oc-
casionally. but his children do not
like Paris.
The apartment will be rented for
$500 a year. and even the furniture
Is to be sold, including some valuable
Normandy beds and old English
desks.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-ThC
special committee OF members OF tht
House appointed on complaint Of tht
American Newspaper Publishers As
snciation to investigate the wood pull
and print paper situation in relation
to the tariff and with regard to ar
alleged conspiracy in restraint Of
trade today submitted a majority and
a minority report.
The majority report, which i:
signed by Representatives Mann OF
Illinois, Miller OF Kansas, Stafford oi
Wisconsin, and Bannon of Ohio, is
a preliminary report and recommends
that no legislation affecting wood
pulp and print paper be enacted until
the committee has finished its investi-
CATION and reported
The minority report, which is sign
ed by Representatives Sims OF Ten
nessee and Ryan of New York rec
emmends passage of the Stevens bill
TO place wood pulp and print paper
upon the free list.
The majority report is summed up
in the following words.
As the present price of paper would
not to any considerable degree be i'm
mediately affected by the repeal OF
the tariff and as the passage OF the
Stevens in its present form might
spell ruin to the paper industry and
ruinously high prices for paper in the
near future, your committee believes
It the part OF wisdom before making
recommendations for positive legisla-
tion to await until its investigation
has been completed and thoroughly
digested
Witnesses appearing in behalf OF
the contentious Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
haye been given full attention, and all
by John Norris, who appeared as the
special representative Of that organ
ization were duly weighed.
Not all publishers who offered to |
appear did appear and there are many |
whom the committee would have lik-
ed 10 examine.
In the tabulation schedules OF
newspapers but few metropolitan
dailies seemed to be the heaviest con-
sumers.
From these returns the average
price at present, including in many
eases freight charges to 9l9 news
papers, is $3.50 per 100; that Of these
I6l using paper in rolls have an aver
age price Of $254 and 558 have an
average Of S3.07 for paper in sheets.
It seems probable that publishers
paying high prices most readily re-
iponded to the inquiries of the COM
nittee."
while there appears to have been
on the part of paper manu-
acturers that the selling price Of
,aper for 1906 was too low to be
airly renumerative, yet we are in
lined to think it was not until the |
ummer of 1907 that there was a gen
raj increase in print paper prices.
hat general increase was in TACT

ROSS GETS FIVE YEARS
Continued from page y

tablish the element OF knowledge,
which he has produced and has been
the most serious obstacle that the
state has had TO overcome in the Ross
trial, and which he said also exploded
the theory that the corporation and
not officers as individuals, were re.
sponsible for the act OF conversion Of
the funds deposited in bank.
Counsel McCamant, for defendant
Ross, had nothing to say concerning
the case except that he was confident
that he would be able to win out be-
fore the Supreme Court.
After the arguments OF the motions
for new trial and arrest of judg.
ment had been finished, which were
taken up when the court convened at
9 o'clock this morning, and after the
court had passed upon them mega
lively, the court asked If the defend
ant had any reason why sentence
would not be passed, Counsel Nc.
Camant requested that, inasmuch as
the court had seen fit upon its own
motion to delay passing Judgment
for one month after the trial, it was
within the power and Jurisdiction of
the court to defer judgment pending
decision OF the appeal to the Supreme
Court but the court did not interpret
the law in that light, and while not
feeling indisposed to grant a certi6-
cate of probable cause, as requested,
announced that he was prepared to
pass sentence Immediately.
This was followed by about Isl
seconds OF absolute silence, during
which pin could have been heard TO
drop upon the floor OF the court room, |
while Ross sat apparently Indifferent, |
and there was not a perceptible
change OF color in his countenance as
he listened to the words of the court |
in pronouncing a sentence practically |
impssible OF fulfillment.
District Attorney Manning express
ed sorrow for Ross in his private
capacity and stated that while he had
no desire whatever to see him pun
shed, he was gratifed at the thought
of having been successful in "estab-
fishing the precedent Of public de,
louncement Of such practices in
banking methods, which will have
to induce bank officials to
exercise better care in the future
handling OF public and private funds
to them"

print paper and wood pulp, it is in.
tmately connected with the conserva.
ton OF the forest resources in the
United States as well as its effect
upon the paper manufacturing in
dustry and newspaper publishing
The committee is not yet prepared
to make recommendation as to the
permanent policy Of the United
States in regard to the duty on paper
and wood pulp, except that the com,
mittee is firmly Of the opinion that
the tariff on news-print paper and on
wood pulp should not be removed
as to paper or pulp coming from any
country or place which prohibits the
expectation OF pulp wood or which
leyles any export duty on wood pulp
or paper or makes any higher charge
in any way upon wood pulp or wood
intended for expectation to tthe Unit
ed States for that purpose.
THAT the evidence taken so far
would seem to indicate that the
temporary suspension or entire re-
moval OF the present tariff would not
have any great immediate effect and
II the tariff is removed at any time
it should be coupled with the right
OF Tree expectation Of wood pulp from
the Canadian forests. The removal
Of the tariff on print-paper and wood
pulp, if followed by an export duty
on pulp wood coming from Canada,
would probably result in consider
able increase in the price Of print
paper and an early drain of the wood
pulp forests of the United States.
"It would seem that the publishers
to be assured of the low price for
paper should maintain mills in the
United States. Any policy that
would give the Canadian mills pre-
ferential advantage over American
mills on obtaining the raw material

Through It all Sherlock Holmes, apoth-

evil and everybody in the audience at least
feels that all will come out right.
Conan Doyies S. story is too we'll known to
need expounding. 1t is a masterpiece of it's
kind and, for that reason, Is hard TO put
on the stage. The reader has conceived a
picture of DR.. Watson and of the great
detective himself which is rather 'superhu-
man and It requires very strong work to
reproduce a character that is not disap-
pointing.

transforms himself eonvinoingly into the

eriok Tillish is pleasing as the Scotland

conVincingly. Lottie Emmons maintains
her usual high standard as feminine
