over 90 Man I'm
~ serest.

NE June 12.-The directors OF
the AZ. Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation, ~ a meeting held here today,
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas. The congressional investigation
Of the manufacture and distribution of pa
per surprised and startled publishers and
paper makers by reason Of the extraordi-
nary revelations in the market in paper,
and,
Whereas, The postponement by congress
Of action upon the proposition to place
pulp and printing paper upon the free list,
and the decision Of It's select committee to
continue the investigation until December
next thrust upon the American newspaper
Publishers association and upon publishers
generally the necessity for continuing their
efforts to safeguard and promote their in
terests and,
Whereas. Chairman Mann Of the select
committee has introduced into congress
bill which indicates an inclination TO as
certain the possibility of reciprocity ar
rangements with Canada, and,
Whereas. The paper makers are united
and organized TO protect their interests,
and,
Whereas. The information in the interest
t P5pe5 o sy te Dsns nnd m
crease of prices presents only one side OF
the question, and pools controlling the out
put of fiber and MANILA paperboards are
now under close judicial scrutiny and It
appears that other paper pools are likely TO
be subjected to the same scrutiny, and
Whereas, The efforts of this association
to involve federal aid have already caused
a repudistion OF the proposed advance to
$50 per ton and an abandonment of thu so
per ton price, and,
Whereas. The paper makers have repre-
sented that the large advances in price for
all kinds of paper has been forced upon
them by reason of reductions In the hours
OF labor due 70 changes from twelve-hour
shifts to eight-hour shifts and,
Whereas, A recent canvass shows that
only twenty-nine out of 245 paper mills had
made such change, and,
Whereas, The work thus far done in be-
half of this association has been carried
on by volunteers, and
Whereas, The situation with respect to
the expenditure by publishers of more than
$40 900 600 per aIfhum for news print paper
has reached a stage where organized effort
and concentrated energy on the part of the
publishers seem essential to an earnest and
aggressive campaign looking to a broader
market a dissolution of paper-maker COM
bnes and the procuring OF the proper rep
resentation of this association before COM
mittees of congress and elsewhere, and,
whereas The board of directors Is Of the
opinion that Mr.. John Norris is capable to
undertake these services for its association,
now, therefore, be, 1t
Resolved, Tha, the president be author
lied TO engage the services of Mr.. John
Norris for a reriod of two years, upon
terms to be agreed upon by them, for the
promotion of the aims Of the American
Newspaper Publishers association in the
matter Of news print paper.

WoMAN'S IDENTITY DISCLOSED
Attache of Cuban Legation Sues for
Divorce from Woman in Van
derbiIt Case.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The Identity OF
the mysterious Mime. Ruiz" whose name
was frequently used In the suit of Mrs
Ellen Frerch Vanderbilt for divorce from
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, has just become
public through the beginning of another
divorce suit, in which Nine. Ruiz is the de-
fendant. The plaintiff in this suit is
Don Antonio Ruiz Oiivares, attache of
the Cuban legation at Washington, and the
defendants name is given as Sonora Dona
Agnes C'Brien De Ruiz. The complaint in
the suit has not yet been served upon
Nine. Ruiz, as the plaintiffs counsel has
not yet succeeded in ascertaining her
whereabouts. There is said to be a strong
likelihood that a successful prosecution of
the divorce may be followed by a suit for
alienation Of affection against a man as
yet unnamed. Mr., Bauchle said today that
the divorce action is based upon statutory
grounds. IAN unknown man" is specified
in the complaint but It is said that when
the papers are served upon Nine. Ruiz
the complaint may be so amended that the
name OF the correspondent will appear.
Mr.. Ruiz was married TO Mary Agnes
O'Brlen in this city on August H. 1903, ac-
cording to the records. Miss O'Brlen gave
her birthplace as Missouri and her age as
% years
They did not live happily, 1t is said, and
after a few years decided to live apart
Since that time Nine. Ruiz has lived at
several exclusive New York hotels. and Of
late has had an apartment In Lexington
avenue. Her name was brought into the
Vanderbilt case through the disclosures
that shortly before he elOped with a
yourg society matron. Harry Brenehley
former trainer for Alfred G. Vanderbnt'G
horses, had purchased an $1,000 automobile

In late years there has been a

Samuel |. Leake, father of 2. F.

was an employe of Joshua Hardy,
who is an uncle of John Hardy of
near this city, in 1855, and at that
time painted a B. F. Hixson sign

North Main and Byrd streets. After
the lapse of So years that sign can
still be seen on the wall from the
opposite side of the street. So we

New Story.

Here is (to us at leasD a new
story on Gen. U. S. Grant. At an
early period of the late unpleasant
ness" he as Col. Grant was in COM
mand of body of men guarding
the H. & St. Joe bridge over Salt
river just west of Hunnewell.
One day in the presence of Uncle
Jimmie A. Spalding and Mrs. John
Cox, both parties now living, he
said: If | thought the North was
only fighting to free the negro,
would 60 into the-Southern army
and take my command with me if
it would follow me.
That is the story in substance if
not exact language as given last
Saturday afternoon by Uncle Jim
mie, who was in the city to visit
his son, W. B. Spalding, and re-
over night to hear Senator
Stones speech. By the way, that
speech converted several of the
best men in this city and decimated
the Folk ranks.
