THE
History

L desire to say a personal word to the
readers of this paper who are interested
in the forthcoming History of the Prohi-
bition Party, upon which it has been an
nounced that l am working
AS originally contemplated this history
would have been matter of very small
effort, and, had the original scheme been
carried out the book would now be in the
hands of the purchasers A very few weeks
examination of the subject however,
convinced me that it deserved far more
extensive treatment than l had planned
to give it, and that better book, of broad
er scope and more detail was essential
No one has undertaken to write his
tory of the Prohibition party in third
of a century, and it will doubtless be
many years more before anything of per-
manent character concerning this great
movement will be written. 1t therefore
seems to be my duty to delay the publica-
ton of the book and to shoulder the addi-
tional burden of making the work COM
mensurate with the subject of which it
treats.
l desire to express my hearty thanks
to the friends in all parts of the country
who are assisting me in my search after
facts. Much to my surprise | have found
that, with the death of most of those
who were factors in the party's founding and
early history, information for an accurate
history has disappeared. Records have not
been kept, and even the files of our early
papers are wholly missing or accessible only
after much search. I have ventured, there
fore, to ask Prohibitionists everywhere who
are in possession of facts to write me sug-
costing what they are able to furnish in
the way of items and party history. l am
specially interested in securing correct lists
of party nominees upon state tickets and of
state chairmen in the various states.
The determination to add a "Who's Who
Supplement" to the work very largely in
creases the task. 1t is my purpose to erect
in this a lasting memorial to not less
than one thousand men and women who
have had more or less conspicuous part in
the party's history. I shall be glad to
have my attention called to names that l
ought to incorporate in this list.
To the advance subscribers for this book,
I offer an apology for this delay, but feel
sure that it is delay which, in view of
it's cause and the benefits that will result
from it, they will heartily approve of it.

COLLATERAL is SAFE.
No Disappearance of Bonds from Car
neqie Trust Co., New York.

New York. July 6.-Following q confer
ence between Dist. Atty. Whitman and
Former Justice keener, counsel for the
Carnegie Trust Co.. it was reported to-
day that the grand jury was investigating
the alleged disappearance of 100000 worth
of bonds deposited with the company as
security for a loan. While Dist. Atty.
Whitman admitted that an investigation
was in progress, Moses Fl. Grossman, of
counsel for the Carnegie Co., stamped
the story as untrue. Mr. Grossman said:
over a year ago, when the late
Charles Coulter Dickinson was president
of the company, a loan of $4,000 was
made to Charles w. Chapman, who gave
his note, endorsed by c. NJ. Sexton. and
as collateral pledged 600 of Titusville
Northern Railway Co. bonds, together
with $4,000 in other securities.
This loan was reduced by payments
of $581l9, and later a Mr. Charles Well
born gave his note and further bonds of
the Titusville company as security for
the Chapman loan.
I'VE couldn't get the money from Mr..
Chapman and sued. The bonds are here
and all the collateral, and when the mon
ey is paid We'll turn it over. Mr.. Well
born is doubtless sorry for going to the
aid of Mr.. Chapman, but that is not our
affair."
District Attorney Whitman said this af-
ternoon:
There is no evidence in the possess
sion of this Office which reflects in any
way upon the financial responsibility or
management of the Carnegie Trust Co,
or upon any of its officers or the boa rd
of directors"
Joseph B. Reichman, president of the
company, said:
There has not been defalcation of a
single dollar in this institution"
Mr.. Rechman quoted a bank exam
iner as saying that the bonds in ques-
ton We're counted today and found in
tact in the vaults of the company

NEWS PRINT PAPER.
The Supply, High Cost and What the
Situation Now Needs.

saratoga, N. ", July 6.-The in
creased price and diminished supply of
news print paper was the principal
subject of discussion before the rep
resentatives of the associated dailies
of New York state, who met here to-
day in connection with the annual
meeting of the New York Press Asso-
ciation, which will open its annual
convention here tomorrow. The discus
sion was led by John Norris Of New
York of the American Newspapers
Publishers Association. Mr.. Norris
said in part:
"The price of news print paper, COW
ering an annual outlay of $50, 100000, is
influenced by a gentleman's agreement,
which is trying to force an agreed
price In no other industry do the max
ers refuse to sell their product +. o. b.
mill. The paper mills insist upon know
ing tine buyers name and the destina-
ton of paper before they will sell it.
For 20 months there has been an OBJ
vious effort to restrict output.
within three years we have had
three print paper famines. In 20
months 1.-THE print paper makers of the
country have kept the stock of paper
on nand for all the newspapers of the
country to an average supply of less
than eight days.
The mill owners ADMIT that they have
produced only 81 per cent. of their ca
pacity. The penalty that publishers are
temporarily paying for this restriction of
output and artificial stimulation of prices
may be stated approximately at So per
ton, but the print paper makers are invit-
ing disaster by the inducement they are
making for new production. Every arti-
fieiality of that sort carries its own pen
atty and ultimately works to the advan-
tage of the consumer
IAN illustration of the extremes to
which the coddling of the paper trade
has been carried may be found in the
case of the International Paper Co,
which brought together II years ago a
group of 80 mills, operating 1Ol paper
machines, of which only 40 were then in
good condition. Some months ago, before
the paper strike occurred, it produced
only 925 tons per day, though it had a ca
pacity of JAG tons per day. At present
it is producing an average of Is tons
per day per- machine. Contrast that
showing with the recent production in
Newfoundland by American brains on
American machines of SO tons of paper
per day per machine.
In New York state we are cutting tim
Der five times as fast as it is being re-
produced. If we continue we shall not
have saving stick left in the state in
20 years"

Togus Defeats Gardiner
Picked Nine 10 10 8.
GeneraI Orders on Death Of
Chief Justice Fuller.
officer Of the Day, Capt. Savage
1.-The Concert Program.

Togus won another game yesterday by
defeating a picked team from Gardiner,
10 to 8, in the last half of the eighth, it
being too dark to play longer. The game
started off with the visitors in the lead,
outbatting the Home team, but in the
second Togus got on and with three sin
giles and three errors by Gardiner got
four scores. In the third Gardiner got
two runs on a walk and single and the
wild throw over second letting In the
scores. TOgus got one more on three
singles in their half In the fifth Bubar
singled, took second on a wild pitch and
third on a passed ball and scored with
Perry, who got a long hit to left for a
homer, the ball being lost in the tall
grass. This hit was really a three-bag-
ger. Togus failed to score and shut Gar
diner out in their half Of the sixth, while
they got two more on two singles and
an error. In the seventh the Gardiner
boys by little stickwork got three, put
ting them one ahead. ToguS only got
one in their half, tying the score. In the
eighth Gardiner failed to score and To-
gus won out on Gordon scoring on sin
gle by Merrill with one out.
There was a little dissatisfaction on
the game being stopped before nine in
nings were played, but as it was hard
for the catcher to see the ball it was
best for all. Crane got a ball on the end
of the middle finger in the fifth, putting
him out of the game, and Craig. the
catcher for Togus, who Is laying off with
bad hand. finished it out, getting an
other bad finger for his trouble.

AGAIN FLIES OVER SEA.
curtiss Says II Is Preferable to Flying
Over the Land.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 6.-Glenn n:
Curtiss this evening made another fight
over the ocean, starting at $50 and spend
ing - minutes and 10 seconds in the air,
Curtiss on his return to the beach de-
clared that he is entirely satisfied that
fying over the sea is more certain than
flights over land because Of few sudden
changes in air currents
Failure to clear a wave as he attempted
his first start allowed spray from the
breakers to strike the propeller moving at
1900 revolutions a minute. The impact
split one of the blades and Curtiss only
saved himself from tumble by quick
descent to the beach.
Curtiss decided not to follow out his
first intention of attempting an altitude
flight, and instead made test of speed.
After facing the easterly wind to the
Inlet he turned and drove down the beach
with the strong breeze directly behind
him at speed which he calculated
touched 80 miles an hour
Both with and against the wind the
plane held perfectly steady and Curtiss
afterwards made wide circles over the
sea without finding any bad air eddies.
