FROM MILLS TO BUYER
Elimination of Jobbers in the Paper
Business.

William B. Littleton of the Antietam
Paper Company, Hagerstown. Md. job
bers of news print paper. today denied
before the wood pulp and paper investi-
eating committee of the House that his
firm is the selling agent of the Interna-
uonai Paper Company, as has been
charged.
The witness said that in September,
1897, he had been informed by the Inter-
national Paper Company that when its
contracts with jobbers expired the COM
rany was going to eliminate the jobbers
and sell its product direct to newspapers.
Mr.. Littleton told of one instance where
he had been selling paper to a pub
Usher at $16O per hundred. When his
contract expired he quoted price slight
ly in excess of this amount. but the paper
company made a quotation at $1.57 and
secured the contract.
Mr.. Mann was anxious to find out why
the witness bought paper from H. G..
Craig Co., who also are jobbers, and
who take rake-off of 3 per cent before
1t gets into your hands"
why don't the mills quote to you as
low price as they do to H. G. Craig &,
Co.. both being jobbers?''
That is between the manufacturers and
H. G. Craig & Co"
Charles H. Remington said regarding a
meeting OF paper manufacturers and sell
ers in New York last spring that no
agreement was entered into as to in
creasing prices. although 1t was intimated
that news paper ought not to bring less
than $3.50 per hundred.

GUFFEY IN CONTROL OF PENN.
SYLVANIA CONVENTION.
.Uninstructed Delegates to Denver
Meeting Will Be Elected This
Afternoon-The Platform.

HARRISBURG, Pa. May 20-The demo-
cratic organization of Pennsylvania. head
ed by National Committeeman James Nj.
Guffey of Pittsburg, today defeated the
Bryan faction of the party in the state
convention on the question of instruct
ing the four delegates at large. The
Bryanites are in favor Of binding instruc-
tions for the Nebraskan. while the Guffey
forces are absolutely opposed to tying
them down to any one candidate.
The Bryanites put up the stiffest kind
of a fight. The first definite announce
ment that the organization was still in
control was when the. vote Of the COM
rnittee on permanent organization on the
selection of a permanent chairman was
announced. The vote was: Peter a
O'Boyle of Wilkesbarre, 81; William I.
Greasy Of Columbia, 16.
Slate for Delegates.
The delegates at large to be elected al
the afternoon session are Col. Guney
State Senator j. K. P. Hall of Elk county
State Senator Arthur G. Dewalt Of Lehigh
county and State Representative John q
.Harman of Columbia county.
Former State Treasurer William H
Berry of Delaware county. who has been
looked upon as Guffey candidate foI
delegate at large. was refused place as
a delegate because he permitted his name
to go on the Bryan slate.
The convention was called to order In
the Orpheus Theater shortly before noon
by State Chairman Dimeling.
AS the roll was being called Col Guffey

peared on the stage and the first enthusi-

Then the country would perhaps

Smith after setting fire to the Guinness
house and then made second start for
the Wheatbrook farm. where he was en-
ployed, is new theory advanced by the
state.
Representatives of the prosecution pro-
fess to have discovered evidence that not
only was Lamphere seen to go toward
the Guinness house at about $50 in the
morning of April 2S. but that he was also
seen to retrace his steps. This was at
about the time that other witnesses will
testify that they saw fire shooting from
the Guinness house.
Pursuing New Theory.
According to this new theory Lamphere
after returning to the Smith house. made
a fresh start for the country about an
hour after the first departure. but on his
second trip he took the Guenther road
from which he could readily have seen
the fire If the state is able to fully
support this theory. 1t is expected to be a
blow to Lampheres defense, for the ac-
cused is somewhat relying on an alibi that
will show that he went north that morn
ing on the Guenther road about an hour
after the fire was started.

rived today to investigate as to whether
her daughter. who in 1902 attended the
