WOOD PULP HEARING.
". u. Gardner Says Removal OF TarIn
Would do little to Relieve Publishers.

WASHINGTON, May "A publisher ap-
peared before the House committee in
quiring into the operations Of the paper
manufacturers to-day who told the com
mittee frankly that he did not believe the
removal Of the tarif would result in re-
duction in the price oI print paper. lie was
W. f. Gardner Of the Syracuse CN -
Posi- standard.
Mr. Gardner said that he strongly SUR
pected the existence Of combination
among paper and pulp men extending int o
Canada. + or this reason and for the further
reason that he beliey ed Canada would imme-
diately impose an export duty on wood
pulp and print paper he believed tho re-
moval Of the tarif. while "a step in the
right direction" would do little to relieve
American publishers,
Mr. Gardner was a good witness and
entered deeply into the whole question Of
the conservation Of the forests Of the
American continent. lie caused the mem
bers Of the committee to smile audibly
when at the end OF his testimony, during
which he had told Of peculiar profers Of
paper salesmen. he said that he didn't
desire to be placed on record as harboring
any great i'll feeling against these men.
They were told to cruelty me, and they
did" said Mr.. Gardener, but they're all
good fellows anyway

MUST sTAND BY TAFT.
On That Depends the Appointment Of =
Federal Judge IN Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, May candidates for a
vacant Federal Judgeshlp In Oklahoma
have gone home with much food for thought
as to the intrIcacies Of politics. II had not
occurred to them when they came to Wash
ingtOn that the selection Of a member Of
the judiciary had any connection with
the battle for a Presidential nomination,
but they are returning to their homes each
pretty firmly convinced that his appoint
ment depends on how things work out in
the Republican national committee.
The struggle for the control Of the
national committee is being waged ear
nestly between the Roosevelt-Ta forces
and the anti-Taft forces II the admins
tration gets the master hand in the COM
mittee il will be able to seat considerable
number Of delegates, mostly from the
South, whose election IL contested, and
otherwise control the temporary organza-
ton.
Now the new State Of Oklahoma, sim
gllarly enough, has Two members Of the
national committee. These two are hold
over members, representing the former
territories OF Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, which compose the present State OF
oklahoma. One Of them il Pliny l.. SOper
Of the old Indian Territory who Is a candi-
date for the vacant Judgeship. The other
is Cash Cade Of the old Territory Of Okla
homa, who is backing Judge Frank Gillette.
Soper, Cade and some Of the fourteen
candidates for the Judgeship have been
notified by Attorney-Genera BOnaparte
that the appointment will not be made for
some time.
The candidates and their hackers under
stood some time" to mean until after the
Republican national convention Accord
ing to the further understanding in Okla
homa circles, here, neither Pliny Soper nor
Cash Cade can expect to land the Judgeship
IL he does not stand by the Taft contested
delegations when the national committee
passes on their qualifications. Pliny SOper,
however, has one advantage over Cash
Cade
He is relative Of Sias Leland, the biggest
Republican politician in Kansas and Leland
is the bosom friend Of David Mulvane, the
Kansas national committeeman. so II
Soper uses his influence with Leland and
leland makes Mulvane see things in the
right light and both Soper and Mulvane
adhere consistently 10 the Taft column
there will be two tallies for Soper and only
one for Cade in the contest TO deliver the
goods 10 the Taft cause.
As matters stand now, according to the
new point OF Oklahoma politicians, three
votes in the national committee are bound
up in contest over the appointment OF an
Oklahoma Judge.

FAULTS CHIEF CROKER FINDS.
One Is the system Of Picking Men by Cl,n
Service Examination.

Fire Chief Croker was the principal wit
ness examined yesterday by the Commits
soners OF Accounts in the investigation Of
the Fire Department He told the Com
missioners that in his opinion the system
Of picking men for the department by civil
service examination kept many men who
would make good fire fighters at the foot Of
the list and placed at the head college and
high school graduates who often were un-
fitted for the work.
Engineers too he thought were often not
up to their jobs, because men whose work
at the instruction schools showed them to
be capable engineers failed Al the technical
examinations. which were easily passed by
men who hadtrouble with the departments 8
school for instruction. He declared that
frequently the engine was blamed when the
man running it wasn't competent 10 keep
up steam
Chief Croker also had some comments to
make about sick leave He said that he
believed that II the men excused from the
active list were put on hay pay instead Of
full they would hustle back to work much
sooner than they do. He also thought there
should be board Of three men to take the
place OF the Commissioner who now pre-
sides al the trials, and that the penalties
imposed on denquents should I've more
severe
The Chief told about theatre details and
declared that II the theatrical managers
were compelled to supply their own firemen
and pay them 1t would save $4,000 year
for the use OF the Fire Department. Sew
enty regular firemen he said, are at present
detailed to theatre duty. II the theatres
were obliged to furnish their own fire

wAsHN0roN, May The Senate to-day
continued consideration Of the agricultural
appropriation bill.
Senator Culberson OF Texas read from
the issue Of The Sun Of April p news
articles saying that the traffic managers Of
the railroads of the country were con-
templating a general increase Of freight
rates. lie emphasized that part Of the
article which says that President Roosevelt
approved the increase to compensate the
roads for having yielded 10 his demand
that they should not reduce wages and to
further offset the additional expense inn
posed on the roads by the enforcement Of
the employers liability law,
Other news articles were introduced bv
Senator Culberson TO show that there was
an organized movement to raise freight
rates, one Chicago newspaper quoting
a freight traffic manage a. saving that the
increases would aggregate many hundr eds
Of millions Of dollars
Senator Culberson said that such move
ment was in violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law. He complained also that the
Committee on Interstate Commerce of which

refused to report bills introduced by him
self and Senator Fulton OF Oregon early
in the present session the object Of which
was to prevent increase Of rates,
The Senator quoted one newspaper AZ
saying that Chairman Knapp OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission had joined
President Roosevelt In approving the pro-
posed increase.
Senator Foraker Of Ohio listened with
All ever ncFea sing smile until Mr.. Cilbsf-
son had concluded, when he arose and said
One who voted to confer the rate making
power on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should not now be heard TO COM
plain OF the exercise OF that power"
Continuing, the Senator from Ohio said
that the result Of conferring that power
on the Commission had been an increase
OF rates, except for a readjustment lmme-
diately following the date when the law went
into effect, when there was a slight de-
crease.
Senator Foraker said he had no doubt
that IL the increase was made by the carriers

DOES DE4TH Remit THE FINEs

Argued on Appeal.

Whether fine imposed on q person who

from his estate was argued yesterday by
United States District Attorney Stimson
before Judges Iacombe, Ward and Noyes
in the Circuit Court Of Appeals on an appeal
from Judge Hollis opinion in the case Of the
United States against the New York Central
and Frederick L. Pomeroy. Pomeroy was
jointly indicted with the railroad for grant
ing rebates and was fined 5000, A stay Of
Sixty days was granted, and before the eX-
piration Of that period Pomeroy died. On
March 4, 1907, upon proof Of death. Judge
Holt invalidated the fine against Pomeroy.
District Attorney Stmson took an appeal.
In his argument he declared that il fines
were 10 be invalidated by an individuals
demise, in the case Of corporations they
would be invalidated by the legal death Of
the corporation.
Austen @. Fox. who appeared for Pom
eroy's estate, contended that fines were i'm
posed as punishment and not for revenue.
and for that reason it would be unfair to
impose the fine in question on Pomeroy's
heirs, The court reserved decision.

Becoming Arrangement Of Tune In

The ruffie OF the moment IS a very
becoming arrangement OF tuue in

One great objection TO the LONG

pretty line Of the shoulders, but the

rounded by ruchings of silk or tulla
