tee about the tariff on wood pulp, MT. Norris replied that he had no doubt the paper makers would furnish data about that.
 Mr. Norris then read extracts from tho Paper Trade Journal of January 23, 19Os which he said purported to have been re- ports of meetings of various paper groups to show that there. had been no changes in the prices. He offered as evidence figures to the amount of capitalization and character of several paper plants.
 What is the reason for that?' Mr. Sims inquired, to which MT. Norris re- piled that 1t was for the purpose of show ing that the newspapers %the country are being called upon to bear the bur dens of consolidation and high finance and that the conditions are not normal and that the newspapers should not be asked to bear burdens imposed upon d corporation as result of mistakes it makes in undertaking to merge 30 or more mills under one management
 MT Mann protested that the answer was too general and inquired if it was for the purpose of showing that the paper makers are making larger divi- dends than they are entitled to or for the purpose of showing that expenditures of their plants are greater than they have a right to be.
 Ut is,' replied MT. Norris, flor the purpose of showing that they are attempt ing to earn as much as they possibly can to justify this high capitalization"
 Tariff Duty Money.
 MT. Sims remarked that from the way he looked at the question a tariff duty should not be kept up simply that the International Paper compan.- might make money out of dutiable means of produc- y
 Y right" said Mr. Norris "The tariff is not for any one especially con- cerned, but for the promotion of the general interest.
 MT. Norris quoted from the annual statements of the International Paper company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1906 and 1907. Those reports, said MT. Norris, showed the amount of n- come and the amount ol expenses, "and they will especially show the increase in the cost of manufacture for 1906 and 19O7 that up to June 3O 1907, the in creased cost of manufacture of the In- ternational Paper company was substan- tially $300,000 on an output substantially of 5000O0 tons of product, making an increased cost of manufacture of approx imately 60 cents ton of output, mot justifying," he said. "an increase of $12 ton in price, He contended that the burden of proof was on the International company to show that the increased cost of manufacture as shown by the figures must be explained away to justify the increased price which the company set up.
 MT Mann agreed that the statement was an important one in connection with the investigation and said that the com mittee would go to the bottom of the facts.
 The committee adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

New Orleans Relief Work.

New Orleans, April 29,-Appeals for food and clothes continued to arrive today from portions of the tornado district, but most of the relief work now Is directed to supplying habitations and sufficient utensils to enable destitute families to re- sume housekeeping. Mayor Behrman Of New Orleans today estimated that about 20 days will be necessary before the relief committees here and elsewhere can say that all tn storm sufferers have been sup piled with the necessities of life.
 Extreme privatons were reported only from a few negro communities today At Purvis, Miss. there was little suHermg and scores of persons were fed from pub lie tables The work of rebuilding began in Puryis today. It was announced that SIC. 900 of the state funds of Louisiana will be applied if necessary for relief meas ures in this state.

in Johnson's S administration, when General Grant and General Schofeld, both officers of the regular army, were made secre- taries of the war, one after the other. General Gates acted in practically the same capacity during the revolution, but at that time we had no President and no cabinet. Gates office was that of secre- tary of board of war. In naval affairs there is no parallel whatever for Bryan's idea.
 Schley is not merely an officer with @ war record, including personal heroism in the civil war, record for gallantry in cur trouble with Corea and his well lSnawn performance at Santiago, but an officer with ideas about desk work. When he was bureau chief in Washington he was more prolific of suggestions than any other officer who has ever held the job of chief of the bureau of equipment. Aside from that he has held a number of other desk positions in Washington, in all of which he has shown the same ten dency.
 There is no doubt that the proposed promotion of Sehley, who is now a rear admiral of the retired list, will strike eonsternation to the hearts of the desk warriors in Washington and will give a heavy boost to the Bryan boom in Mary land.
 Admiral Schley has not been approached by any representative of Bryan on this question and knows nothing of it. It leaked out today in a purely accidental manner and has not been confided by Bryan to anybody outside the circle of his intimate friends. w. $.

WILLIAMS PLEADS
 FOR 30 CONVERTS

number to pass the bill, MT. Williams de- elared that 1t should be easy to get them, 5LeS srsc almost B. republicans had iniio GneedF paper bills, and, he said. ''I know every one of you who introduced a hill meant what you said"
 Quoting the lines from the old hymn:
 While the lamp holds out to burn,
 The vilest sinner may return,
 MT Williams proceeded:
 Brevity of Life.
 If you have been in any manner bull dozed, why think for second think of what a short life we live here and how important it is we should be doing things while we live in this brief day of our time. l express hope that at least 90 of you may sign a petition If you do not like that petition because my name is on it. and the names of Champ Clark, and De Armond. and Underwood and John Wesley Gaines, and all these vile politicians and sinners on this side. get up one of your own. We can add the two together If 30 of you sign. the speaker cannot refuse. because you. to- gether with us. will then constitute q majority of the House of Representa- lives.
 Early in the session when the rules were being adopted. the speaker was asked if q majority of the House made a request to the speaker whether that request would be needed, and his reply, as l remember it, was "A majority of the House of Representatives will all ways be needed by the speaker So, if yoil put 3D names to our 166 and consti- ute 196 a majority of the House of Rep resentatives. I know that the eminently good-natured man who presides over this House who is so tolerant of opposition, so patient whenever there is a stumbling block athwart his pathway, will bow in his most elegant manner. with the ges- ticulatlon .that is peculiar to him, and say, 'Gentlemen, a majority of the Rep resentatives of the American people have a right to have their own way and l will recognize somebody"

 Mr. Norris made the further request that David S. Cowles, president of the American Paper and Pulp company fur nish copies of all letters sent by him urging dealers to restrict paper output to maintain prices.
 MT. Miller, the acting chairman, said the committee would take the several re- quests under consideration.
 Statement False. Reading from a paper journal recent statement by MT. Cowles justifying the increased cost of paper by SIP ton in- crease in the cost of pulp wood, MT Nor ris declared the statement to be "abso- lutely false" and he said MT. Cowles knew it was false when he made 1t. MT. Norris next declared his ability to "demolish" the reasons for the increase in the price of paper given by Chester Lyman of the International Paper com pany and which appeared April b. lsoS, III the Paper Trade Journal. MT. Lyman in the article in question denied the ex- istence of a combination and courted a full inyestigation He also said the price in 1908 as compared with 1907 would snow an increase, and that that increase was on account of increased cost of labor and raw material.
 Asked for a statement regarding the Canadian mills, MT. Norris said that they were running at this time because Amer can mills had combined to maintain prices at such a high figure that Canadian mills could pay $6 ton in freight and still undersell the price which the conl- binatien had fixed as its selling basis. After submitting copy of contract with the International Paper company with labor union whereby it fixed a three-ton system. MT Norris said he would submit data as to percentages and as to savings which will completely upset the claim made by MT. Cowles as to the labor cost having been increased 50 per cent and also the implication in MT. Layman's statement that labor cost has increased 33 per cent

 I've, the undersigned representatives in Congress, request each for himself and each for each of the others, that you rec ognize one of LIS, or, if you prefer some other representative, to move to discharge the committee on ways and means rom further consideration of, and to suspend the rules and pass the Stevens bill, or any other bill having the effect to put wood pulp and print paper on the Tree list"
