NIGHT SESSION HELD
INVESTIGATION OF PAPER TRUST
 MAKES PROGRESS.
A Canadian Paper Company Declares That It Pays Higher Wages for Labor Than Is Paid fin
 America.

Washington. May 15-The House spe- cial committee which is conducting an investigation of the so-called paper trust. sat till a late hour tonight in an effort to complete the hearings and re- port It's findings to Congress before the session closes
 From the point of view of the news paper publishers, the most significant development of today's session was the introduction of a telegram from the J. R. Booth Paper Company. of Ottawa, Can stating that the company pays some of its skilled laborers higher wages than are paid in this country. Publishers say that this information goes far to bear out their claim that the statement of the wood pulp men that an increase in the price of paper was owing chiefly to concessions to la bor Is not in accord with the facts.
 John Norris's statement that Amer lean and Canadian manufacturers have entered into an agreement whereby Canadian manufacturers keep out of the Eastern market was denied by David S. Cowles. president of the American Paper and Pulp Association, and several others prominently identified with the paper making industry MT. Cowles informed the committee that the association of which he is head. really exists in name only.

MRS. GUINNESS DEAD NEW EVIDENCE BEARS OUT THE- ORY CONCLUSIVELY.
  Piece of JawbOne Taken From Ruins of Home is Identified as POF-
 ton of the WomAn's

Skull.
 La Porte. Ind May 15.-'Tdentifica- tion of the piece of jawbone taken from the ruins of the Guinness farm house as a portion of Mrs Belle Guinness's skull. bears out most conclusively the contentious of the State regarding the identity of the bodies found In the cellar on April 2S. It Is the clinching bit of evidence which should set at rest the rumors that Mrs. Guinness had escaped"
 This statement was made by Ralph N Smith, prosecuting attorney, to- night following a report from Dr. c. P. Norton, a dentist, who found that a piece of the charred bone presented characteristics which he had observed while working on her teeth. Only two natural teeth cuspids on each side of the lower jaw had remained in the wo- mans mouth and the piece of bone found yesterday shows that all the teeth except the cuspids had been ex- tracted from the jaw of the skull to which It belonged
 The search of the Guinness premises today revealed little of importance The screening of the ashes produced several additional bits of bone. but none of them is of sufficient size or well enough preserved to furnish proof of their origin.
