PREDICTS TARIFF
WAR WITH CANADA
Congressman Mann Believe:
Trouble Will Result Over
Wood Pulp and Paper
Fight TO Be Made at Next Ses-
sion to Force Amendment of
the Payne Bill

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Congress-
man Mann, chairman of the special
committee on wood pulp and print
paper of the last congress, who pre-
pared the provisions on these items as
first reported TO the house by the Payne
tariff bin, but who was overruled by
congress in the final passage of the
tariff law, took the position today that
the country may well be alarmed at
the danger Of a tariff war with Canada
growing out of the tariff on wood pulp
and print paper under the Payne act.
WILL INTRODUCE BILLS
Mann will introduce in congress sew
eral bills and joint resolutions relat-
ing 10, this subject One measure is a
joint resolution to postpone the appli-
cation of maximum tariff from April l
next TO January l, 1911. Another pro-
vides that the maximum tariff of the
United States shall be held not to apply
TO wood pulp and print paper imported
from Canada.
WOOD PULP AND PAPER
Mann has prepared and VIII intro
duce a bill which provides that wood
pulp and printing paper shall be ad-
mitted free of duty when imported
on the condition precedent that Canada,
or the province in which the wood pulp
or printing paper is manufactured,
shall not forbid or restrict or impose
any export duty or export license fee
upon printing paper mechanically
ground wood pulp or wood used in
the manufacture of wood pulp.
These measures viii be referred by
the speaker TO the committee on ways
and means. but Mann may make fight
in the house to have them referred TO
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, where he is the new
chairman.
CANADA MAY RET4LIATE
Mann says unless some legislation
such al he proposes be adopted, or a
reciprocal treaty with Canada be agreed
to, Canada, smarting under the injus-
tice of the Payne tariff law, is likely
to forbid the expectation of pulp wood
from Canada 10 the United States and
thereby not only close up a number of
the newspaper mills of the United
States. but increase the cost and price
Of print paper to a point which will
inflict tremendous injury not only
upon the newspapers but upon the book
publishers, including especially school
books.

DR.. COOK VANISHFS
And RENEWS GOSSIP
Polar Explorer Drops From Pub

of His Followers
Reported on Verge of Nervous
Collapse and May Have Re-
treated for Rest

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Dr Frederick
A. Cook dropped completely from pub
lie view today. Not even John r. Brad
ley, whose money was behind his polar
expeditions. knows where he is to-
night.
Conhding his secret to only one man
and perhaps 10 his wife, the explorer
slipped quietly and mysteriously away.
leaTing behind him a string of puzzled
and eNasperated friends and d debate
more acrimonious than that which fol-
loWed his announcement of September
last that he had discovered the north
pole on April p, 1908 Charles W.
W ack, a lawyer, appears to be the
only one who knows the mystery OF
Doctor Cooks whereabouts. And Wack
is firm in his resolve 10 keep his lips
sealed until Cook himself sees fit TO
take the public into his confidence.
CONCERNED OVER HEALTH
In the meantime concern is ex-
pressed over the condition of Doctor
Cooks health Although some of his
friends maintain that he has borne UP
wei under the continued stress of lee
turing and preparing his data. as op-
posed TO this an intimate associate OF
the doctor said tonight that Cook ap-
peared 10 be on the verge Of a nery-
him Monday night. This friend issued
a statement tonight quoting Doctor
Cook as saving:

longer ] viii be Ia an insane ASYLUM. -
The puzzle OF Doctor Cooks disap-
pesrance began about 3 o'clock this
afternoon. Al noon Charles W Wack,
his personal counsel. issued a formal
statement explaining that Doctor
cook had sailed this morning on the
tunard liner CarOnia. Three hours
later he withdrew the first statement
and explained that he had been in
formed by John r. Bradley that the
doctor had not sailed on the Caronia.
Coincident with this reports We're cir
cuiated that Doctor Cook had sailed on
