CAPTURE NOT EFFECTED.
Citizens About Blue Springs Alarmed
 and Enraged About Mystery.

Eufaula. Oct. 14.-(Special.)- )-Chief of Police J. H. Huguley has returned from Blue Springs. where he failed to capture the negro outlaw who Is wanted in that section. MT. Huguley states that he found approximately 200 armed men awaiting his arrival, and although they secured the entire sec- tion around with blood hounds, all efforts to locate the man proved fruit less.
 It was learned that the much wanted outlaw has been lettering around that neighborhood for a week or more, and has been putting in his appearance at different residences at opportune times demanding food and clothing from the women when their husbands were en- gagged elsewh ere.
 In several instances homes have been abandoned or the men were forced to reiinquish their duties and remain about their premises for protection. Women and children have been so alarmed that they refuse to remain at home alone, and the citizens are very much wrought up over the affair. The negro Is thought to be one who mur-' dered another negro in that section some months ago and evaded arrest. A vigorous watch is still being main- tained.
 The meetings at the South Side Methodist Church are growing more and more in interest each evening. and the congregations are unusually large. Rev. C. E.

A large and interesting number responded to the call for penitents last night, and 1t is believed tn at when the doors of the church are thrown open, there will be a large accession.

CHICAGO, ILL, March s.--Herman
-Ridder, president Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, has
sent letter TO Acknowledgement Bona
parte. in which lie summarizes the
publishers statement OF the alleged
efforts OF the American Paper and Pulp
Association to stifIe competition and to
Increase prices. The effect. Mr.. Ridder
declares. has been to put an additional
burden of s60,o00,000 per annum on the
printing and publishing interests OF
the country without any other justfi-
cation than the power of combination.
Mr.. Ridders letter gives In detail
charges that certain paper manufac-
urers formed a pool, agreed on sche-
due OF prices. and discounts the filing
with the originator OF the pool of all
orders and names of customers and
quotations of invoices and samples Of
paper and date of shipment; allot-
ments of output by each of twenty
four mills in the country restriction
OF production; regulation OF the basis

and fixing commission therefor and
the curtailment OF profits OF mills OF
one company to so per cent. The let
ter sets forth also that the association
voted on the question OF granting per-
mission to members to bid on large

with mill outside the association. 1t
tells OF meetings held In New York
City in February, May and August OF
