New York, June 6: John MOTIFS
chairman Of the committee on paper Oh
the American Newspaper publishers
association, forwarded today to Sena-
tor Root a letter setting fortn new
data on paper duty. The senator's at
tention is directed to a comparison oi
his newspaper and periodlcal consu r,
tuency as compared WIN ms papei aaa Ia,
constituency and the statement Is maoe
that the newspapers Of New YORK
state nav seven times as much Tor Ia
bor as all the news print paper mllls.
Mr. Norris appeals for consideration
for the newspapers as follows: "a
pers are entitled to consideration from
you even If you ignore the extraor-
dinary function they perform In ois-
seminating intelligence, in promotins
knowledge and In facihating the WIZ tba
of government. Those citizens are tne
best citizens who are in complete touch
with the work Of administration; ana
the furtherance Of the newspapers
mission is worthy of your serious Ell
fort. An increase in the consumption
of paper is due to the increasing intel
ligence of the people"
Having acted upon most OF the Vex-
ed problems in the cotton schedule uur
ing the past week the senate expects
to complete this schedule today or To-
morrow. This will bring the seha.e
face to face with the woolen schedule,
which is practically a re-enactment OF
the Dingley rates, but which, neverthe-
less, will be fought by progressive he
publicans aided by the Democratic
senators. AS night sessions vii! De
held throughout the week, indications
point to q completion OF the wooish
schedule by Thursday or. Friday. NO
programme has been outlined as to the
Schedules to be taken up following the
woolen schedule, but 1t Is probable that
some work will be done upon the free
list A meeting of the finance commit
mittee has been called for $3.50 O'CLOCK
tomorrow, when the policy OF the SEN
ate so far as the committee Is concern
ed, will be outlined. A date VIII De
fixed also for the reporting OF amend
ments on a number OF questions not
vet acted upon in committee. On ac-
count of the progress made during the
past week, senate leaders are predict
ing that the bill will be voted upon In
the senate by June 19, and that con-
gress will be ready to adjourn by July
4 II a quorum is obtained in the house
on Monday the Puerto Rican bill Will
be taken up.
Charlotte Chronicle: The action OF
the New York court in sending reck-
less chauffeur, who ran over and killed
a boy; to the penitentiary for term
Of from seven to twenty years, ougnt
to have a wholesome effect, especially
since the Judge, in sentencing the man,
said that the next one arraigned In
his court would be tried for his life.
In sentencing the chauffeur, the judge
told him that If he had been rich man
or a dissolute man the verdict would
have been murder. The legal proof OF
murder was overwhelming, but not
even the most sympathetic juror could
acquit you of manslaughter. The
Judge in his remarks to the convicted
man spoke for the benefit of reckless
automobile drivers in general. When
you took your seat in that car he said
to him, "you were free to drive care
fully or reckleSsly. You chose TO go
at a most reckless pace. And you knew
that you bore message of death for
the unfortunates in your path. You
knew that all the people had at least
an equal right in our streets and roads.
You cared more for your own pleas
ure than the life of any other person.
You had the power to choose, and you
elected to do that which destroyed an
innocent life and brought the deepest
sorrow to happy home" The pun
ishment of this man will no doubt be
looked upon with approval by automo-
bile owners all over the country. 1t is
the reckless drivers that keep alive
prejudice against the automobile and
the faster they are weeded out, the
sooner will this prejudice disappear.
