Washington, May 3O.-The fact that
information is refused by responsible
parties in regard to the accuracy of
the statement that Gen. Wright has
been selected to succeed Secretary
Taft upon the retirement of the latter

DEEPER PROBE is NECESSARY.
Special Wood Pulp Committee Recon-
mend No LEGISLATION.


mend No Legislation.
Washington, May 3O.-The special
committee Of six members of the
house appointed upon complaint of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association to investigate the wood
pulp and print paper situation in rela-
ton to the tariff and with regard to
an alleged conspiracy in restraint Of
trade. yesterday submitted majority
and minority report.
The majority report, which is sign
ed by Representatives Mann of Illi-
nois, Miller of Kansas, Stafford Of
Wisconsin and Bannon of Ohio, is a
preliminary report, and recommends
that no legislation affecting wood
pulp and print paper be enacted until
the committee has further investi-
gated and reported.
Minority Favors Free List.
The minority report, which is sign
ed by Representatives Sims of Ten
nessee and Ryan of New York, recon-
mends the passage of the Stevens bill
to place wood pulp and print paper on
the free list.
The majority report Is summed up
in the following words:
"As the present price Of paper
would not to any considerable degree
be Immediately affected by the repeal
of the tariff, and as the passage of
the Stevens bill in it's present form
might spell ruin to the paper industry
and ruinously high prices for paper
in the near future, your committee
believe it the part of wisdom, before
making recommendations for positive
legislation, to wait until its investiga-
ton has been completed and thor
oughly digested."
As to the charge of the existence
of a combination in restraint of trade
the report says:
"The evidence before the commit
tee so far fails to prove any combina-
ton of print paper manufacturers to
advance prices, or otherwise, in re-
straint Of trade, but considerable evil
dence was presented which might ex-
cite suspicion that such combination
had been made and was in existence. .

Last Days Of Session Made Mem.
CRADLE BY La Follette's Eff
fort to Talk Bill to Death.
CURRENCY MEASURE IS PASSED.
Aldrich.vreeland Bill Goes Through
Senate Collapse of Fiiibuster
Is Sudden.

Washington, June 2.-Just ten min
utes before the hands of the big round
clocks in the chambers of the two
houses Of congress pointed to the
hour of midnight Saturday, the first
session of the Sixtieth congress came
to close. +
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans in honor of Speaker Can
non and by Democrats in the interest
Of William j. Bryan. .
Made Memorable by FiIibuster.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibus.
ter of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and
Gore against the emergency currency
bill.
At 1880 o'clock the senate adopted
the report of the conferees of the two
houses Of congress on the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency bill by
the decisive vote of 43 to %.
FiIibuster in Disfavor.
The downfall of the filibusters was
inevitable. Nine-tenths of the sena-
tors on both sides were opposed to it.
Senator Gore, the blind orator. from
Oklahoma, was left on guard through.
out the afternoon. Senator Stone was
to follow him with speech of about
an hours duration, and Senator La
Toilette hoped to take the floor again
at 6 O'Clock to talk as long as his
physical endurance would permit.
When Senator Gore concluded his
speech he sat down. Doubtless he
expected that Senator Stone would be
in waiting, ready to take the floor, but
Senator Stone was reclining on a
sofa in the cloak room.
Fairbanks Puts Question.
When the Oklahoma senator con-
cluded his speech the vice president
put the question to the senate whether
the conference report on the curren-
cy bill should be adopted. The roll
call was begun before Senator Stone
and Senator La Toilette could reach
the chamber. Futile efforts were
made by the Wisconsin senator to in
terpose objections that would pro-
long the debate and to devise means
to give him opportunity for continued
discussion. He received no encour-
agement. When he appealed from a
decision by Vice President Fairbanks
on question of order only nine SEN
ators supported him.
Collapse Is Sudden.
The result came Unexpectedly soon,
but not until the senate had been we'll
worn out by flibuster which, while
not largely supported, made up in in
tensity what it lacked in numbers.
The obstructive tactics were begun
by Senator La Toilette when the re-
port was taken up by the senate Fri
day; it was prosecuted by him all
Friday night and was continued Sat
urday by Senators Stone and Gore.
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record as a
long distance speaker; Mr.. Stone held
the floor for six hours and half, al
most without interruption, and Mr..
Gore spoke for something more than
two hours.
La Toilette spoke eighteen hours
and forty-three minutes.

his last roll call at o'clock yesterday

rected the firing of the first shot of
the Civil war. He was one of the two
officers Of the South Carolina troop
sent by Gen. Beauregard to demand
the surrender of Fort Sumter, and on
the refusal of this demand he ordered
the first battery to fire on the fort.
