REPUBLICANS
DIDN'T BULGE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30
Opportunity to stop the plundering
Of the paper trust was given the
republicans in the house yesterday
by the democrats under the leader
ship of Williams. But no republi-
can bujged.
A petition bearing the names of
all but two democratic members
and requesting a vote on the bill
to put wood pulp on the free list,
was presented the house. The
names of 80 republicans would
have constituted a majority and
compelled Cannon to permit some
action on the measure he has de-
ternined to throttle in spite of the
public demand for tariff revision.
Williams urged the republicans
join the democrats in this measure,
but urged in vain. The party whip
hung ever them, but the democrats
sco.'nd a decided advantage in the
tariff debates.

TRIES HARD TO
KILL A MAN

A fast running automobile, said
to belong to F. F. Emery, last night
almost killed Louis Katelia, an
Austrian, who was crossing the
street at the corner of Post and
Sprague. Witnesses say the driver
did not blow his horn at the cross
ing. The machine struck Katelia
in the back and knocked him sew
eral feet. The blow broke one OF
the lamps off the machine. Katelia
staggered to building before he
lost control of his limbs. The au-
tomobile did not stop, but went of
at an increased speed, the driver
being willing to exchange his lamp,
evidently, for the pleasure OF pos
sibly killing man.
A. F. Ahrens saw the number 1853
and notified the police when the
patrol arrived and took the injured
man to the emergency hospital,
where it was found that he was
bruised considerably but not seri-
ously.
A John Doe" warrant has been
issued and the police are looking
for the driver of the machine. Mrs.
Emery this afternoon denied that
it was her husbands machine, say
ing at the time the accident oc-
Cured it was not in use.
