held it's first meeting at the Columbus
hotel on Saturday afternoon and re-
manned in session for two hours and

eration To Mclean county at the sug-
yes, on of John Cullin, who said his
county would take action on the or
ganization in county union next Tues

GOING after
PAPER TRUST
An Extraordinary Aggrega-
tiOn OF Law Breakers
Asked From President, Depart
ment of Justice and
Congress.

Washington April 25.-Actual in

prospect and t.lamination into the af-
fairs of the paper trust 10 determine
whether or not 1t IL, as alleged by
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, combination in re-
straint of trade, and maintaining Il
monopoly of the print paper supply
in the United States, was begun to-
day by the select committee appoint
ed by Speaker Cannon. Representa-
tives of the committee of fifty ap-
pointed by the American Newspaper
Publishers Association arrived in
Washington to-day in response to a
telegram sent yesterday by Chair
man Mann TO President Herman
Ridder of the association, and Gener-
al Manager Melville E. Stone, of the
Associated Press, inviting testimony.
The delegation from the associa-
ton appeared before the investgat-
ing body at o'clock in the after
noon, and the presentation of the
publishers case was at once begun
by John Norris, business manager of
the New York Times. Norris said he
and his associates had come before
the committee in answer to the sum
mons of yesterday.
I'VE appear, said he, "as repre-
sentatives of substantially all the
daily newspapers in the United
States. We consume at least eighty
per cent of the newspaper print paper
used in the United States. We appear
as representatives of the seventh
largest industry in the country, an
industry that has been menaced by
an extraordinary aggregation of law
breakers"
Norris declared his association had
appealed to the house, to the presi-
dent, to the department of justice
and to Congress for immediate relief
and for months had been asking for
an opportunity to tell their story to
Congress.

BROKER WaShingt0n'S Early
Home.

The first negro home that l re-
member was a log cabin about four
teen by sixteen feet square. 1t
had a small narrow door, which hung
on rusty wornout hinges. The windows
were mere openings in the wall pro-
tected by a rickety shutter which
sometimes was closed in winter, but
which usually hung dejectedly on un-
certain hinges against the walls of the
house.
Such thing as glass window was
unknown TO this house. There was no
fleer, or, rather, there was floor but
it was nothing more that the naked
earth. There was only one room which
served as kitchen, parlor and bedroom
for a family of five which consisted
of my mother, my elder brother, my
sister, myself and the cat. In this
cabin we all ate and slept my mother
being the cook on the place. My own
bed was heap of rags on the floor IN
the corner of the room next TO
the fireplace. 1t was not until after
the emancipation that enjoyed for the
first time in my life the luxury of
sleeping in a bed. 1t was at times, !
suppose somewhat crowded in those
narrow quarters though ! do not now
remember having suffered on that ac-
count especially as the cabin was al
ways pretty thoroughly ventilated par
ticularly in winter, through the wide
openings between the logs in the walls.
mention these facts here because
the little slaves cabin in which I-liv-
ed as a child and which is associated
with all my earliest memories is typi-
cal of the places in which the great
mass of the negro people lived little
more than forty years ago; and there
are thousands of negro men and wo-
men living to-day in comfortable and
well-kept homes who will recognize
what have written as good descrip-
ton of the homes in which they were
born and reared.
Probably there is no single object
that SO accurately represents and typi-
flies the mental and moral condition OF
the larger proportion of the members OF
my race fifty years ago as this same
little slave cabin. For the same rea-
son It may be said that the best evil
dence Of the progress which the race

MRS. CLEVELAND There

Princeton, N. j., June 27.-Hun-

Grover Cleveland in Princeton ceme-

Mrs. Cleveland. accompanied by
little Richard and Prof. John Grier

O'Clock, where Mrs. Cleveland stood
for some time beside the flower strewn
graves of her husband and her
daughter Ruth. A member of the
local militia company stood guard at
the grave throughout the night and
was relieved this morning by another
guardsman. The men were not in
uniform in obedience to Mrs. Cleve-
lands desire to avoid anything of a
military character. The plot will be
guarded for several days.
Those who remained at the Cleve-
land home last night with Mrs. Cleve-

, scene of squalls. Then came rumors
that all was not well. -
First Public Tiff i'm 1906.
The wife left their home at Lynd
hurst N Y, the old family home of
the Goulds. and went to Hot Springs.
Va, for an indefinite stay. Frank
Gould. it was announced, would sail
for a voyage abroad, to be gone long
time. Friends rejoiced that a legal
separation had been avoided. In the
course of time they kissed and made
up.
Though the first open eruption came
in 1906, it has been asserted that many
quarrels occurred after the first year
of their married life. These were
patched up, it is said, by Miss Helen
Gould, who views Frank as her fav
orite brother.
Mrs. Gould's beauty had much to do
with the tiffs between the young peo-
pie. 1t is declared that other men
paid the wife much attention, which
made the husband angry.
Wife Ignores Mates Chidings.
Frequent recriminations resulted.
Mrs. Gould, being of impetuous tenn
permanent, would not deign to offer a
reply to Mr.. Gould's chidings, and his
anger would increase. Always. it was
his chum sister who, as peacemaker,
conciliated the youthful pair.
The most serious of their differ
ences came this spring, when Mrs.
] Gould determined to seek a divorce.
| Frank Gould laid their troubles to
"the curse of gold'' and too much
mother-in-law. To the latter plea.
the mother-inlaw replied it was a
case of a mother trying to save her
| child from a broken heart"
| "Happy If on Desert Isle"
Mrs. Gould blamed the newspapers
and said lies" of false friends had
| +, I,a., ,, in
felicity. On April IS, after the report
of her intended action in the courts
she made the following dramatic
| statement:
II love my husband, but there are
some things at times that appear un-
alone; if Mr.. Gould and 1 were alone
upon a desert island We would be the
happiest people in the world"
Calm Before the Storm.
About this time it appeared efforts
| of the families of each at another
reconciliation had been successful. II
was declared in the press that the
couple soon would be living together
again.
| A few desultory denials and affirm
ations on the part of each in regard
to a truce followed and the affair was
stilled. 1t was presumed final peace
had been reached. Not until the ser
vice Oh papers upon MI. CIOulO yeSt6r-
day were the woes of the unhappy
ones again made the subject of wide
spread publicity.
Mrs. Gould is the daughter of the
late Commodore Kelly of the New
York Yacht club. She was the young
est matron in New York society at Is
years of age, and was credited with
being the best yachtswoman, save one,
in the world. She is said to have a
private fortune of S10,000,0OO. Herhus-
band, who received $10.OOO,OOO from,
his father. has added to it by his own
manipulation, his friends declare.
