TARIFF WAR PROBABLE
Congressman Mann Alarmed
at The Canadian Situa-
tion.
Takes the Position That the Country
May Well Be Alarmed at the
Danger of a Tariff War
With Canada.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-Con-
gressman Mann, who was chairman of
the special committee on wood pulp
and print paper of the last Congress,
and who prepared the provisions on
these items as first reported to the
House by the Payne tariff law, takes
the position that the country may wei
be alarmed at the danger of a tariff
war with Canada growing out of the
tariff OH wood pulp and print paper
under the Payne act.
Mr.. Mann has prepared, and at the
beginning of the forthcoming session
of Congress will introduce several
bills and joint resolutions relating to
this subject. One of his measures is
joint resolution to postpone the ap-
plication of the maximum tariff from
April 1 next to January 1, 1911 An
other of his resolutions provides that
the maximum tariff of the United
States shall be held not to apply to
wood pulp and printing paper i'm
ported from Canada.
Mr.. Mann has also prepared and will
introduce bill which provides that
wood pulp and printing paper shall
be admitted free of duty when import
ed from Canada, being the product
thereof, on the condition precedent
that Canada or the province in which
the. wood pulp or printing paper is
manufactured shall not forbid or re-
strict or impose any export duty or
export license fee upon printing pa
per, mechanically ground wood pulp
or wood used in the manufacture of
wood pulp.
These measures all, naturally, when
introduced will be referred by the
Speaker to the committee on ways and
means, but Mr.. Mann may make a
fight in the House to have them re-
ferred to the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, of which he is
the new chairman.
In the last Congress, when the ways
and means committee was endeavor-
ing to smother the bill introduced by
Mr.. Mann to prevent the importation
every member of the House that on a
certain morning he would move to
take that bill from the ways and
means committee and refer it to q
friendly committee. The result was a
passage of arms between Mann and
Chairman Payne, of the ways and
means committee, on the floor of the
House, but Payne was compelled to re-
port favorably Manns opium bill, and
it became law.
| Mr.. Mann says that unless some
| legislation such as he proposes be
adopted, or a reciprocal treaty with
Canada be agreed to, Canada, smart
ing under the Injustice of the Payne
tariff law, is likely to forbid the ex-
portation of pulp wood from Canada
to the United States and thereby moi
only close up a number of newspaper
mills of the United States, but increase
the cost and price of print paper to a
point which will infiict tremendous in
| jury not only upon the newspapers
but upon the book publishers, includ-
ing especially school books.

COOK GONE
His Sudden Disappear
ance Puzzles His
Friends.
His Personal Counsel Unable to Ac-
count for His Whereabouts.
Bradley Makes Statement.
Believed He Sailed.

New York, Nov. 27.-Dr. Frederick
A Cook dropped completely from pub
lie view today Not even John r.
Bradley, whose money was behind his
polar explorations, knows where he is
tonight.
Confiding his secret to only one ma1
and perhaps to his wife, the Brooklyn
explorer slipped quietly and mysteri-
ously away leaving behind him a
string of puzzled and exasperated
friends, and a debate more acrimoni~
Gus than that which followed his an
nouncement OF September last that he
had discovered the north pole on April
81, 1908.
Charles Wake, an insurance man of
this city, appears to be the only one
who knows the mystery of DR.. Cook S
whereabouts. And Wake is firm In
his resolve to keep his lips sealed un-
til Cook himself sees fit to take the
public into his confidence.
In the meantime concern is express
ed over the condition of DR.. Cook S
health. Although some of his friends
maintain that he has borne up well
under the continued strain of lectur-
ing and preparing his data, as opposed
to this an intimate associate of the
doctor said tonight that the explorer
appeared to be on the verge of a ner
vous breakdown when he conferred
with him at his hotel in the Bronx on
Monday night last. -
This friend, who is a newspaper
man. issued statement tonight in
which he quoted DR.. Cook as saying:

The puzzle Of DR.. Cooks disappear

th1e o'clock this afternoon. At noon
Henry Wellington Wack, his personal

planning that DR.. Cook had sailed this

lst.rement, withdrawing che Grst state

COL. WEBSTER PASSES
Soldier, Statesman and Pub
licist Dies From
Paralysis.
Editor Of Webster's Weekly and One
OF the Best Known of the Old.
School Editors of the
CarOlinaS.

Reidsville, N. c., Nov 2S.-Col. John
r. Webster, aged sixty-four, Confed-
crate soldier, once Speaker of the
House of Representative and editor
OF Webster's Weekly, died early this
morning as result of the second
stroke of paralysis which he suffered
just week ago. The funeral will be
held from Main Street Methodist
Church Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock.
Colonel Webster was a vigorous ed
itorial writer and his paper had a
wide reputation for the brilliancy OF
its editorial page. Four years ago he
had stroke of paralysis and has
since been feeble, but his mind was
clear until the last and only a few
days before the end he announced
that his paper would be continued.
A brother, Mr.. W. A. Webster, of
Archdale, and sister, Mrs Barrow, of
Winston, and his wife, who was Miss
Lille Morrison, survive.

rest he thoroughly deserves.
John R. Bradley, who is thoroughly
