To bring the cornstalk down to a COM

government Department of Agriculture,
tided by many persons interested in
saper production. have been at work for
more than year. extracting every DOS

hope of finding some by-product that
will help reduce the cost of paper manu-
acture. and that can be returned to the
soil as a cattle food, or fertilizer.

But i'm the cornstalk experiments the

ultimately find their way again into the
soil. The paper mill will use the other

The paper making experiments have not
been limited to cornstalks, although the
greatest progress has been made III that
direction. The slaughter of the spruce
forests and the constantly rising price of
pulp wood and white paper have become
matters of such great consequence that
Congress has authorized an investigation
of every sort of fiber plant that may be-
come permanent source of paper ma
terial.
Both broom corn and cornStalkS have
been used in the experiments. and cotton
stalks, rice straw and many kinds of
wild plants are to be tried during the
next few months. The important results
reached in the cornstalk experiments
however, have directed the energies of
the investigators toward the thorough
testing of that farm product.
The waste matter of the farm makes
the ideal source of paper supply, if it can
be taken without injuring the permanent
character of the soil. If the cost of pro-
ducing the cornstalk paper can be some
what reduced, and satisfactory use
found for the strip extracted in the pa

paper manufacture in this country, it is
claimed, is not far from solution.

two o'clock this afternoon for Beverly
by automobile for conference with
President Taft Some we;ghty sub
jects are to be handled as this is the
first meeting of Taft and Roosevelt
since the latter departed for the Afri-
can jungles.
Col. Roosevelt and Senator Lodge
had narrow escape as their auto
mobile was crossing the Boston and
Main railroad at Park street. Cam
bridge last night on their way to Ma
hant. The gate tender lowered the
safety gate directly in front of their
auto on the opposite side of the road.
Not hundred yards away an ex.

ed to the gateman who raised the
gate just in time to allow the Lodge
automobile to move out of the way OF
the train.
Some eia Questions.
The conference today is, expected
to settle the question of Roosevelt's
attitude toward the Taft administra
ton.
The republican situation in New
York. the insurgent movement in the
republican ranks. the criticism nj
Taft's administration on account OF
the tariff, the Ballinger-Pinchot con
troyersy and other matters were
among the important questions to be
discussed. It is probably that some
plans for the next republican nationa
campaign will be framed.
Roosevelt, it is now known. will ge'

When a Personal Friend,
Wanting to Bet, Asked if
Mill Was Square.
A. RIPPLE OF SUSPICION
tAmerican News Service,

Reno, June Set is understood
that Charley White of New York will
referee the Jeffries-Johnson fight July
fourth. White has been named as a
second referee, but the wiseacres say
Tex Richard, the first referee. will be
too busy looking after the financial
matters and White will do the actual
refereeing. The Giadiators practically
finished their training today and each
declared himself fit for the battle of
his life. A ripple of suspicion was
aroused today by the report that a
personal friend of Johnson's had a
chance to take the short end OF a big
bet at two to one and asked Johnson
for assurance that the fight would be
on the square. Johnson's only reply
was a golden smile.

way johnson explained one Of his sus-
picious looking battles. More than one
Of Johnson's opponents have escaped
q terrible pummeling simply because
Of Johnson's Aversion TO Furnishing a
man whom he had beaten on points.
Johnson's lighting record gives no
real idea of his ability. Many believe
his statement that he never cut loose
and fought his hardest. Again. as In
the case Of Peter jackson. white pugil-
lists in many cases have drawn the
color line on him. Whether 1t was be-
cause they feared his ability or wheth-
er they really objected TO boxing with
a negro may be surmised.
Johnson is the first man OF his
color to get the chance to fight for the
heavyweight championship since the
Queensberry rules were framed.

lete. He is as strong rs bull. cat
