NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The commit
tee on paper of the American Newspa-
per Publishers association today gave
out a statement concerning the i'm
pending trade issues between Canada
and the United States. The statement
says:
"At the outset the dominion claimed
If the American mills wanted to OBJ
tain their supply of pulp wood from
Canada, the American paper makers
should not object to a reasonable rate
of duty on paper made in Canada from
pulp wood a committee of the house
of representatives., after a ten months
study of the subject, approved that
view which was confirmed and ratified
by the ways and means committee and
by the house of representatives.
Senator Hale objected to such an
arrangement and the United States
senate to please him, upset it and
raised the rate above that passed by
the house. The provinces Of Canada
declare, since the United States has
refused to admit print paper on rea-
sonable terms, they will protect Canad-
ian interests by meeting retaliation

of the American print paper mills to
move to Canada.
Canadian retaliation will strike
American exports as varied as coal
and cotton iron and meat, fruits and
automobiles, oil and livestock. But
the most serious feature of the pros
pective war is that which affects wood

EXPERTS REPORT AROUSES
INTEREST IN OTHER CITIES
Denver Publication Believes Robin
sons recommendations Apply
Also to That Municipality

Los Angeles stride forward in realiz-
ing the possibilities in her new plans Of
municipal betterment have aroused
other cities to an appreciation of the
need of civic improvement. The report
recently issued by Charles Mulford
Robinson aroused widespread interest
and comment in both western and east
ern cities. The following is an extract
from the current number of Denver
Municipal Facts regarding Mr.. Robin
sons report:
LOS Angeles has just issued its ten
tatiVe plans for civic betterment. In
this it places the cost of the good roads
already under way at three and a half
millions. It's civic center and adjunct
civic improvements, if carried out as
designed, will cost over twenty millions
Adding to this the $23,000000 now being
expended on the aqueduct, will make
total of nearly fifty million dollars
for improvements provided for and con-
templated by the city of Los Angeles.
I'm the pamphlet which embodies the
official report of the expert, Charles
Mulford Robinson, Denver's proposed
civic center adorns the first page, and
is cited as one of the most perfect of
the many great projected municipal
betterments.
what is said in this booklet of the
opportunities of Los Angeles applies
with striking aptitude TO Denver.
at know of no city which has so
much to gain by making itself civically
attractive. In most municipalities the
direct gain to the citizens, in their per-
sonal convenience and enjoyment, is
the only consideration worth counting
upon, anything beyond that being more
or less of a gamble. With you, already
the tourist metropolis of the country,
the indirect profit through the attrac-
ton and retention of outsiders is GER
tain and enormous. And you cannot
afford to stand still-~or rather, with
your increasing population, to go from
bad to worse, as you would, in conges-
tion, in city discomfort and ugliness,
and in paucity of municipal effective
ness. The travel, for the most part
coming from cities that are improving
themselves, would turn away. For 9TH

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Wild scenes are
reported to have taken place in the
prison at Birmingham as result of
the forcible feeding with a stomach

GROWERS
TO FIGHT RATES
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE PRE-
PARES FOR FRAY
AFFILIATED ASSOCIATIONS LINED
UP FOR CONTEST
Injunction Against Roads VIII Be
Asked Pending Appeal to the
Interstate Commerce
Commission

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. PA
! G. Kendall, secretary and executive
officer of the Citrus Protective league
tonight outlined the basis of the fight
to be made against transcontinental
roads in the interest Of lemon growers,
to prevent an increase in the lemon
freight rate from 81 to $1.15 per hun
dred.
Resolutions have been sent to all
lemon associations affiliated with the
league, lining them up for the con-
test, which will be the most strenuous
ever waged in behalf of fruit growing
interests.
Suit will be filed with the interstate
commerce commission Immediately
after the rate goes into effect, No
vember l, alleging the injustice OF the
rate. Following this an application
for an Injunction will be made in the
United States courts, asking for an
order restraining the roads from
charging the additional rate pending
the decision by the commission. This
will require a large bond, and to pro
tect sureties, the Protective league IS
now securing agreements on the part
of lemon growers, in case the tnjunc-
ton is granted by courts, that grow
ers will pay the roads dollar freight
charges, and deposit Is cents per hun
dred with the league, thus providing
a fund to cover all damages il the
suit finally goes against the growers.
If they win, the deposit will be re-
turned to the growers.
Secretary Kendall says the growers
are sending in agreements rapidly and
are greatly encouraged by the atti-
tude taken by Senator Flint Congress-
men Smith and Needham at the ban
ouet in Los Angeles Tuesday night
which insures the influence Of a solid
congressional delegation behind the
growers in their contest with the
transcontinental lines.

A Bracing Tonic After Typhoid

Mr.. Francis Sheppard, of Scranton, Pa,
says that he was left so weak after an
attack of typhoid fever that he could
scarcely walk. He took Duffy'S Pure
Malt WhiSkey; one bottle put him on
his feet. The second bottle gave him
his OId-time vigOr and strength. He rec
OmmendS it to all who are weak and
need something to build them up.
Having read a great deal about
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, de-
cided to try it, and cannot praise it
too much. During the typhoid epi-
demic in our city two years ago [
happened to be one of the victims
Zone of the lucky victims, thank
Cod. 1t left me in such weak
condition that I was scarcely able to
walk. Thanks to Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, after taking one bot
tie of it | was able to go to work.
After the second bottle | can say |
am entirely we'll. l think there is
nothing equal to it, and would rec
ommend it to any one who is run
down with fever or any other dis
ease. Although I do not drink liquor
in any form, [ do recommend
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as per
directions" - Francis Sheppard,

WEST DUXBURY, Mass, Sept. "a
Inspired by the conviction that today
would bring the end of the world, the
500 and more members of the Latter
Reign of the Apostolic church, or
"Triune immersionists," as they pre-
fer to be called assembled about their
place of worship early in the fore
noon to await the destruction and
publication of the world by fire in
fulfllment of their own prophecy.
In contrast with recent proceedings
when noisy revival services have been
carried on far into the night, last niglt
passed almost in silence as the rain
fell on the tents in which those who
came here from far and near are shell
tered.
The gathering of clouds at sundown
last night was declared to be a sign,
and the heavy downpour of the night
an "omen" consistent with their ex-
pectations.
The morning was dismal. The sky
was heavy with clouds and the air sui
try and oppressive. The snowy white
ness of the little wooden chapel at
Ashdad was sharply outlined against
the dull backgrounds of clouds and
mist.
In this chapel for the last week serv-
ices have been held, the keynote of
which has been a frenzied eXhortation
to those who were without the pale to
repent and to be prepared for the eX-
pected cataclysm, and yesterday eight
cen converts were baptized in a near
by pond.
Some Come from Afar
Throughout the meetings great en-
thuslasm has been manifested. Those
participating come from every section
of New England, while some have jour-
nnHrR6 from a a Virginia
AS the appointed time drew near the
believers filled the chapel and sang
hymns. Shortly before 10 o'clock the
skies darkened, and those who had
been watching for a sign appeared
convinced that the Millennium was at
hand.
One hymn upon another came from
the watchers. At 10 o'clock the sky
frightened and the Millennium, in the
opinion of the believers, was appar-
emily postponed for a brief period.
1t was then explained that a rev.
elaIion which was made to one of
their number last night indicated the
destruction was to be deferred until
some time during the twenty-four
hours beginning at 6 o'clock this even
ing.
The faithful continued confident that
their prophecies would be full
filled and they spent the remainder of
the forenoon praying and singing
hymns.
Little to Say
There was very little comment when
the hour designated for the finality of
earthly things passed.
AS the forenoon passed the devout
company decided for reasons not an
nouncd, to close the chapel and move
across the road to the Bethel" a
large frame structure belonging to the
society, there to await the end of the
world.
All but "believers" were excluded,

SMOKES CIGARETTE JUST
BEFORE HE IS EXECUTED

CARSON, New, Sept 24.-Calmly
smoking a cigarette and with stoicism
proverbial of his race, George Will
liams, the Indian murdrer of Barney
Griffen and James Connors, two pros
pectors, at Stimler, New, in 1907, was
hanged this morning at the state
prison.
The execution was witnessed by a
few newspaper men, and state officers,
among whom was Governor Dicker-
son.
The Indian was pronounced dead
fourteen minutes after the drop fell.
Williams confessed the murder of
the prospectors and expressed sorrow
for his crime.

ACCUSED OF ATTEMPT TO
CHEAT FORMER GOVERNOR
Promoter in Chicago Arrested for
Second Time for Alleged Sale
of Stock

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-William E.
Niles, a promoter of Chicago, was ar
rested today on a charge of using the
United States mails in a scheme to de-
fraud A. e. Lee, former governor of
South Dakota.
The alleged dishonest transaction
was in connection with the sale of
stock in the Louisiana Sulphur and
Development company, a corporation
of which Niles is declared to have been
the organizer.
Former Governor Lee caused the ar
rest Of Niles on a similar charge in
Chicago several months ago. The case
was dismissed later by the local courts
and Niles retaliated with a suit for
damages for malicious prosecution.
Niles and Lee were partners in busi-
ness ventures at one time.

the doors were closed and the cur
tains were lowered.
One of the leaders was overheard to
say that if the "purihcation" or end
of the world did not occur before
p. IN. t morrow it would, in his opin-
ion, be postponed for r'flfty years. Many
Of the believers dissented from this
statement.
1t is understood here that most OF
the persons who are confidntly await
ing the Millennium have disposed OF
all of their worldly goods.
Today, in the vicinity of the chapel
and the Bethel, a long line of car
riages and automobiles was strung
along the road, and have brought many
spectators to witness the proceed
ings.
Some Of the townspeople, displeased
at the conditions developing today,
started a movement to prevent re-
currence of the services.

about the task of making herself peau-
tiful, as we must hope she is preparing
now TO do, she will doubtless authorize
a readjustment of the municipal ma
chinery as regards the park commits
sion, giving to it much more authority
than now (as other cities have sue
cessfully done), and making member
shin on it a great honor. Then the de-
velopment of all such spaces, and the
requirement of them for such purposes,
will be naturally looked after by the
park commission.
City Should Have Control
''I have said there were many spaces
of the kind here. few examples are
the following, and there is need only to
think how great an improvement the
Identification of these would make to
realize how important a part they may
play in a more beautiful Los Angeles
The intersection of Pasadena avenue,
Twenty and Workman streets,
passed every day by thousands of peo-
pie and by nearly all the tourists
Manitou avenue, Albion and Twenty
first streets, where the junction is very
awkward; Boyle avenue and First
street; Vermont avenue and McClin-
! took, to go to the other side of town;
West Washington street and La Sale
avenue; Lake Shore avenue at First
and Beaudry; Main street, where at
Thirty-seventh it makes a bend, or
Figueroa and California.
Every one of these and many more
such spaces should be beautified, and
to do this would be so we'll worth while
that the neighbors should undertake it
themselves, if the city will not. Where
flowers grow as luxuriantly as they do
here, no heavy cost would be involved,
and the same of leaving neglected such
opportunities is the greater. once i'm
proved by the neighbors, it is very like
ly that the city would continue the
work But 1t would be altogether bet
ter if the city, with its ability to Sc
cure good plans and to adjust these to
a larger scheme than merely the i'm
provement of a neighborhood should
have control of the work from the
first"

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 24.-With the
list Of dead from Mondays tropical
hurricane now well above a hundred,
every Indication points to a much larg-
er number Of victims.
Many small sloops and launches are
lying wrecked on the Gulf shores of
Louisiana and Mississippi, and there is
little doubt that some Of their occu-
pants were lost.
Anxiety for the safety of steamers
bound for New Orleans during the
hurricane period on the Gulf has been
relieved. Nearly all of these vessels
were many hours late, but finally ar
rived at this port, with the exception
of the Utstein, which is four days over
due from Puerto Cortez.
She was reported today to have gone
aground off Seashore light, near the
mouth of the Mississippi, with no loss
of life.
The oyster lugger Washington was
capsized and Captain Dominic Bondy
drowned.
The boat went down in Lake Pont-
chartrain. Many other vessels of this
class are reported missing.
The steamboat Williams arrived at
Morgan city, La, late today bringing
a number of refugees from the coast
storm swept section.
Belated reports today of death and
destruction from Mondays hurricane
in Louisiana and Mississippi show
further loss Of life and property
The list of dead contains now more
than 100 names News of fifteen addi-
tional deaths along the waterways be-
tween Morgan City, La, and the Gulf,
and on the adjacent coast, has been
received. Nearly all of these were fish
ermen.
Pathetic Incidents
Stories brought here by persons ar
irving from the stricken districts re-
veal many pathetic occurrences. A A.
year-old child was found lodged in the
branches of a tree on the lower coast of
Terre Bonne parish, having survived
for three days without food or water.
Two other children about the same
age were found on a mound in the
middle of the prairie. No other signs
of human life were in evidence in the
vicinity.
Travelling on foot to his home in low
er Terre Bonne after being released
from the penitentiary, where he had
served many years for manslaughter
an aged white man was swept to his
death just as he came into sight of his
house.
Another story is told of a man who,
after searching for his wife and four
children, discovered their bodies. With
out help, he dug their graves and bur-
led them.
One of the striking incidents of the
relief work along the coast was the
rescue of a family in a small boat in
which a baby had been born an hour
before the relief steamer arrived.
Nine bodies have been washed on the
beach near Gulfport, Miss. Presumably
they are all fishermen, and are sup
posed to have been in the marshes
when the hurricane struck them.

FOLICE BOARD DENIES
NICkELODEON LICENSE
Commissioners Heed Protests
of Church and Citizens

The application of Oppenheimer &
Karski for permission to conduct a
nickelodeon in Polk street near Wash
ington and within 200 feet of the First
Presbyterian church was denied by the
board of police commissioners last
night Notwithstanding the recent opin-
ion of the city attorney to the effect
that to grant the permi would not be
violating any city ordinance The petit
ton was denied on account of pro-
test and not because of any legal OBJ
structions.
The proposed nickelodeon would have
been within the restricted distance of
the church by the street line and out
side of the restricted distance by the
side property line. The attorneys for
the petitioners maintained, referring
to the opinion of the city attorney,
that because it was within the re-
stricted limit in one instance and
without the restricted limit in another
the permit should not be denied.
Admitting that the argument of the
attorneys, according to the law, might
be right, the commission denied the
application on account of the numer-
Gus protests against it.
