PRISONERS IN FRANCE ARE
ABLE TO PURCHASE LIBERTY

MILAN, June 12.-Roman society is
occupying the attention of justice. II
the accusations are true, they show q
scandaIous intrigue on the part of a
highly-placed official in one of the de-
partments of state.
1t is alleged that traffic has been
conducted between prisoners and the
ministry of justice, whereby the for
ner, for a sum of money, were assured
the remittance of their term of inn
prisonment.
The intermediary is alleged to have
been a "homme daffaires,' who has
built up, it is said, a lucrative business
on the strength of his knowledge of in
fluential persons at the ministry. The
scandal only became known through q
letter sent by a prisoner to the minister
of Justice. The correspondent, having
paid his money in order to be set az
liberty. was furious at finding himself
committed to prison. 1t was then that
he resolved to denounce the conspiracy

MAH-PE GOES TO
MEET CORINTHIAN
FLEET YACHT WILL BE T0WED
TO SAN FRANCISCO
CLUB MEMBERS EXPECT CRAFT
TO WIN TROPHY
Believed That Gardner Model Will
Prove Faster Than the Freak,
Built Vessel of Northern
Waters

SAN PEDRO, June 12.-With the
best wishes of the members of the
South Coast Yacht club for his sue
cess in winning the Challenge cup at
San Francisco next Saturday, Capt
Joseph Pugh and his crew left for the
Bay City late tonight, his handsome
new yacht, the Mah-Pe, being towed
out of the harbor for the north by the
Steamer Hanalei.
Provisions for himself and crew for
the northern run were on board, suffi-
cent also for a sail back after the
race
While no rough water is expected
the boys aboard are prepared to cut
the 500-foot hawser should a storm
arise. The mainsail has been reefed
and storm jib made ready Ali of the
other canvas is safely stored below
deck
With Capt Pugh tonight were five
of his crew of eight. They were War
rem d. Wood, H. Hesselberger, C. P.
Uranium. L. D. Mayors and A. Jen-
sen. Mate ID. II. Laubersheimer Rod
Burnham and one other whom Capt.
Pugh has not named will go north by
rail and be on hand the day of the
race.
Having seen the fleet yacht under
sail here in both light and. heavy
weather. many experts are free to OK
press the belief that the handsome cup
will be captured by the daring skip
per The winds at the Bay City are
usually heavy and the Mah-Pe was
designed for that kind of weather.
While her mast is high and extra
canvas area is thus obtained. little
doubt is expressed but that she will
be able to stand up in the heavy
winds of San Francisco bay.
The South Coast Yacht club is
proud of the challenger and expect
great things of the racing yacht. She
is ten feet longer than the Corinthian.
which will defend the cup, and is
built on entirely different design. While
the Gardner model is new, it is be-
lieved by those who know that she will
prove faster. than the freak-built Cor
inthian the fastest yacht in San Fran

QUANTITIES OF
WOOD PULP USED
SPRUCE FURNISHES LARGEST
AMOUNT OF PAPER
MANUFACTURERS OBLIGED TO
IMPORT MUCH TIMBER
Cheapest Material Utilized Is Hem
lock, Although Less Trees Used
in 19o9-Price of Pro-
duct Increased

WASHINGTON, June 1.-TWO hun
dred and fifty-one pulp mills in the
United States used 3.346,106 cords of
wood, and made 1,11S,947 tons of pulp
LIST year. Spruce always has been the
leading pulp wood, and it furnished
81 per cent of the total quantity used.
The rapid development of the wood
pulp industry since 1899 has rendered
the domestic supply of spruce insult
ficent to meet the demands made
on it, and consequently importations
from Canada have been heavy In
1908 our pulp mills consumed nearly
one and one-half million cords of do
nestle spruce, and more than $4,000
cords of imported spruce, making the
imports As per cent of the domestic
supply.
Next to spruce, the most important
pulp wood is hemlock; 56917S cords of
it were converted into pulp last year.
All the hemlock used was of domestic
origin, and most of it was produced in
the Lake states and Pennsylvania.
Although now used in less quantity
than spruce and hemlock, poplar has
long been a standard pulp wood. A
small quantity of poplar is imported,
but by far the larger portion of the
more than 100000 cords used last year
v. cut from domestic timber. Spruce,
hemlock, and poplar made up 80 per
cont the quantity of pulp wood used.
The remainder was supplied by many
species, the most important of which
were pine, cottonwood and balsam.
Thu wood used by the pulp mills
last year cost them little more than
$2S, 700, 900, or an average of 1888 per
cord, against an average of 1921 in
1907. The most costly wood used was
imported spruce, with an average
value of $1,000 per cord. The average
for domestic spruce was 1915 per cord
and for poplar, $500 per cord
HemIock Is Cheapest
The cheapest wood which was used
IN large quantity was hemlock, the
cost being $500 per cord. Owing to the
uncertain business conditions the total
consumption of pulp wood in 1908 was
nearly 16 per cent less than in 1907,
but this did not prevent considerable
increase in the price of wood. The
high price of wood is making the manu-
facturers be constantly on the lookout
for cheaper raw material, and one of
the most encouraging developments has
been tie increased use of slab wood and
other sawmill waste, This drift in the
industry is clearly indicated by the
fact that 1924 cords of mill waste
were reported as consumed in pulp
manufacture during 1907, while 252, 500
cords, an increase of 80 per cent, were
used in 1908.
These statements are based on pre-
liminary report of the consumption of
pulp wood in the United States in 1908
just issued by the bureau of the CEN
sus. The bureau of the census and the
forest service cooperate in the collec-
ton of annual statistics of forest pro-
ducts, and this preliminary report soon
will be followed by bulletin, which
will give detailed information on the
use of pulp wood last year in the vari-
Gus states, the cost per cord, the
amount reduced by the mechanical, sui
phite, and soda processes, and other
facts of interest to the industry.

BERLIN, June 12.-The cab owners
of Berlin met recently to consider the
declining state of their business, which
was described as being on the brink

The president of the organization de-
clared that unless the scale of fares
was revised to cheaper the cost of
