CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY BILL
Is Passed by the House, Only Mann
Voting in the Negative.

Washington, April 18.-With Rep.
Mann of Illinois alone voting in the
negative, the House today passed the
Mccall campaign publicity bill.
Only a short time was required to
pass the measure. Twenty minutes
was allowed for debate on each side,
but only Mr.. Mann spoke or voted in
opposition. He declared that like the
Sherman antitrust act, ii would be
found that the provisions of the bill
far exceeded the purposes Of its adj
vocates. AS worded he insisted. that
1T required such associations as the
rivers and harbors congress and news
papers owned by individuals to make
public the receipts and expenditures OF
their business.
To these objections little attention
was paid and Messrs Gaines, of West
Virginia, Hardwick of Georgia, Rucker
of Missouri. Conroy Of New York and
Peters of Massachusetts, delivered
vigorous speeches in support of the
measure. When the viva voce vote
was taken on the passage of the meas
ure, chorus of Ayes" was followed
by single NO" by Mann who smiled
and bowed to the House as he voiced
his disapproval of the measure.

Wood Will BE Signed Tomorrow.

Quebec, Que, April 18.-At meeting
of the Provincial cabinet today, the or
der-in-council prohibiting the exporta-
ton of pulp wood cut on crown lanos

sequently Premier Gouin announced thar
the order probably would be signed by
the lieutenant governor on wednesday.
Regarding n report from Washington
thst the United States government
would try TO open negotiations with the
Quebec government on the question the
premier said:
I'VE are willing to meet representa-
lives of the United States government
but I can say that the province Will not
change its attitude in the slightest"
There appears to be a difference of
opinion in regard to the effect of the or
der, but it is generally agreed that 1t
win not result in the opening of many
new paper industries on this side of the
line for five years at least. Mr.. koine.
minister without portfolio. who IS a prom
inent lumberman, said today:
THE new law cannot greatly affect the
Canadian industry for at least five years.
The American mills still have large
supply of timber" d. H. Pennington.
member from Megantic, who has large
timber interests in that county, thinks
that the government will find 1t difficult
to carry out the new law.

INTERESTING DISCLOSURES
Expected at Washington Regarding
Alleged Raw Cotton Pool.

Washington, April 18.-Attorney
General Wickersham has taken up the
cudgels against the reported pool in
raw cotton which, it is alleged, already
has resulted in an increased price of
that staple and a curtailment of the
output by manufacturers and conse-
uuent loss of employment by mill
hands.
William S. Kenyon, assistant to the
attorney general in charge OF trust
prosecutions in the department said
tonight:
Information was laid before him in
dicating the fact that a combination
had been formed between a number Of
operators to buy up all of the remain
ing unused raw cotton produced in the
United States during the crop year
1909-1910. That as result of the
operations of this pool the price of
this cotton has already been advanced
so largely in excess of the normal
price that the cotton manufacturers
had greatly reduced their output rath-
er than buy at this exOrbitant price.
throwing out of employment upward
OF 25 per cent. of the cotton mill oper
ators of the United States, thus re-
sulting in the monopolization of the
entire visible supply of raw cotton in
the market and the diminution in the
commerce of cotton goods.
1T is anticipated that interesting
disclosures will be made into the COM
position and management of this COM
binatiOn."

the China-Japan mail for the Portland

to have been left by the bandits, reads
as follows.

Glens Falls. N. Y, April 1S.-A
movement is on foot among the strik-
ing employees of the international Pa
per Co., looking to a conference with
officers of the company at Albany this
week, preferably on Wednesday. A
committee including two delegates
from each mill will seek to lay it's case
before the company in the hope of ad-
justing existing differences.
One official OF the company said to-
day the company would enter no con-
ference and that, if the men called, the
strike would be discussed with them
only as individuals and not as repre-
sentatives of the two unions.
The company, today, succeeded in
fully resuming at the Ticonderoga
mills, while more striking employees are
reported to have returned at other
mills

New York, April 1S.-A federal in
vestigation without precedent in this
country will be started in New York
tomorrow. The attorney general of the
United States has ordered an inquiry
into the gigantic bull movement in
cotton with which the names of James
and William F. Brown of New Orleans
and Eugene Scales of Texas have been
popularity connected.
Hayne and Brown both appear as
defendants in the proceedings but 1t
could not be learned whether Mr.. Pat
ten will be subpoenaed at Chicago to
come here and testify. He has been
generally credited, however, with be-
ing the financial genius of the pool
and in recent interviews he has out
lined his bullish position and his de-
termination to fight the supposed bear
clique, which has been re-shipping cot
ton to this country from England in
an endeavor to break the market
The bull movement has reached such
stage, however, that there are ru-
mors Of possible May corner in the
New York market.
Never before has the government
brought similar action against any
bull clique or in fact against any pool
operating in the market on either the
long or the short side.
Information about the proposed in
qury was rather meagre today. Sub
poenas We're issued at the direction of
Mr.. Wickersham commanding u doz-
en- or more prominent New York cot
ton brokers to appear before a special
federal grand jury tomorrow to testify
in the matter of the United States
against Frank B. Hayne and William
p. Brown.
The subpoenas served on the cotton
brokers demand the submission to the
special grand jury of all records, men,
Oranda and an agreement dated Feb.
&c last by Brokers Hayne and Brown
and other parties. The agreement, the
subpoenas state. was for the pur.
chase of 100000 bales of cotton for de-
livery in New York during the months
of March and July inclusive at certain
prices and under certain conditions
The fixing of the prices and conditions,
