IN THE RECORD.

Washington. May l9.-The taking Of
evidence was not concluded today by the
wood pulp and print paper investigating
committee of the house. as had been ex-
pected. and IL will be resumed tomorrow
number of Independent manufacturers
testified today, and a great deal of sta
tistical evidence was placed in the record
preparatory to its consideration by the
committee.
Referring to ,hc telegram from Mr.
Norris given out Yesterday by the COM
mittee. George c. Sherman, treasurer Of
the St Regis Paper company, has re-
quested that newspapers which printed
that telegram will state that when he was
before the committee last Friday and
before he had received any promise of
immunity. he declared his connection with
the Parks Manila & Fibre pool and ac-
knowledged his responsibility in that con-
nectiOn. which is a fact. He said that
he had been advised by eminent counsel
that the pool was legal.
Census Director on Stand.
Director of the Census North was the
first witness before the committee today
and he appeared to reply TO a letter sent
by Herman Ridder president of the
American Newspaper Publishers assoc
citation, to President Roosevelt and sim
ultaneouslX given 10 the press The let
of having issued false and misleading
series of figures regarding news print
paper prices Mr. North said that his
figures were sent to Congressman Dali
zell in a private letter after Mr. Dalzell
had called upon him and told him he
wanted the information for a publisher
in his congressional district. Mr.. North
said he told Mr., Dalzell that the census
bureau had no official figures on the
subject, and in reply to a further request
from MIR. Ia iZall said he WnUln Ia gel
the Information from some other source
Trade journal Figures.
He said he get his figures from the
Paper Trade Journal. He claimed that
Mr.. Ridder ignored parts of his letter
and was OF the opinion that Mr.. Dali
zelrs figures represented more accurate
" than did Mr. Riders figures the
prices paid i'm the open market on the
dates named by the customer who had
no special contract The open market
quotations, he said, were a safer index
to the fluctuations in the price of news
print paper than private contracts. Il
am informed that the figures which MI
Ridder contrasts with mine are very in
accurate statements of prices that pre-
vailed at that tine said Mr.. North.
Spruce Supplies DwindIinq.
Clifford Pinchot chief of the forestry
service, told the committee that At the
present rate of cutting spruce supplies
would be exhausted in New Hampshire
in twenty-five years in Vermont in elev-
en- years; New York. eight and one half
years; Minnesota. nine years. and Maine
twenty-eight and One-half years There
were other WOODS, however. available for
papermaking. and he gave the committee
a list OF them. He thought that spruce
lands could be cut over again in thirty
years, but this has been done within fiji
teen years.

Appeal to the Public.

The members Of the Carmen's union be
gan q series of meetings for the purpose
of arOusing sympathy and TO appeal 20
the public to refrain from using the cars
until the strike finally is settled.
Al these meetings the proposition also
of petitioning the city council to order
public vote as to whether the franchise
recently granted and under which the
Municipal Traction company is operating
shall become effective. This proposal is
based upon the new initiative and refer
endum law enacted by the state legisla-
tuTe a few weeks ago This law provides
that the question of a street railway
franchise becoming operative shall rest
with a majority vote Of the voters Of the
community. providing = per cent OF the
voters petition the city council TO hold
such vote. The petition will make il
obligatory On the council to submit the
matter to a vote The movement was
started by the strikers. over 10000 petit
tions have been printed. II is believed by
the union men that public sentiment To-
garding the railway company now Is of
such a character that they VIII have no
difficulty in obtaining the signatures 10
the petitions. The vote. should it be
against the franchise, it is claimed. would
have the effect of invalidatng il and this.
in turn. il is said. would result in the
Municipal Traction company losing. at
least temporarily. control of the street
railway traffic here.

THE DEMAND FoAAN
EDUcATED MINISTRY.

Realizing the dMdhand among the
negro people for an educated ministry.
The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute conducts in connection with
its other Departmental Bible Training
School. The courses$sf study are so
arranged that not onlys ministers and
iicentiates may be benefited, but
those also who desire to'do better mis-
sionary work or aecome intelligent
Sunday School teachers.
The chief aim of the Bible Training
School is to afford comprehensive
knowledge of the English Bible and
TO implant in the hearts of those who
attend an ambition to dedicate their
lives to the elevation sand Christian,
izauon of their people. Daily supple
mentary exercises, designed to install
habits of sobriety, cleanliness. regu-
larity and accuracy. are provided. The
teaching is wholly undenominational,
the intention being not to oppose or
antagonize any theological work being
done elsewhere, but instead, to assist
all denominations.
During the past year, the enrolment
in the Bible Training School has been
satisfactory, but the opportunity is
now provided for a considerably larger
number.
The teaching is free. The cost of
board, including furnished room, light,
fuel laundering, etc, is $3.50 per
month. The entrance fee is 500, to
be paid in cash by each student when
he registers. Students will be given
the opportunity TO work out much of
the $3.50. in some cases all of T. Lack
of means should not keep anyone from
entering the Bible School If the stu
dent is not afraid of work ana study
he will succeed.

have glanced at the biography of each

peculiarly gifted and some have arisen
from the humble walks OF life. John

of the second class, men who seem to
