This Course.

New York, Feb. THE New York
Sun publishes the following under a
Washington date:
THAT Senator William Lorimer is
likely to resign his seat in the senate
and save his friends in that body the
embarrassment of having to vote for
him in the face of the damaging tes'
timony presented in the record of his
case, is generally reported on high
authority.
"The senator from Illinois is being
urged by some of the older senate
leaders who are personally friendly
to him to take this course. They nave
pointed out to him that unless he
does resign his seat is certain to be
declared vacant. They have told Mr..
Lorimer that he can save some of
his friends in the senate from the
embarrassm ment they would feel to be
compelled to vote to oust him and re-
lieve other colleagues from the popu-
lar criticism that would be showered
upon them If they voted to retain him
in his seat"

STORM IN MIDDLE
WEST IS SEVERE
Railway and Urban Traffic Is
DemoraHzed

Chicago, Feb. Snow and sleet
storms which started in the Central
Rocky mountain region and swept
eastward as far as Buffalo have
blocked railway and urban traffic, de-
moralized telephone and telegraphic
systems and caused great property
loss all over the North Middle West.
From six to twelve inches of snow
and Northern Illinois.
Accompanying high winds have
piled the snow into immense drifts,
which have completely tied up rail
way and electric traffic in number
less instances.
Trains coming into Chicago are
from two to six hours late. Inter
locking switches have been freezing
so rapidly that the large force of yard
hands could not keep them thawed
out. Hundreds of miles of telephone
and telegraph wires have been thrown
down by the weight of the snow and
the sleet, the telegraph companies re
porting immense loss. The railroad
companies, too, report theirs down.
Great suffering is reported among
the poor and the various charity or
ganizations assert that the demands
made upon them are the heaviest ol
the winter.
More than $500 men were put tt

Paper Manufacturers Oppose
Reciprocity Treaty.
DENIES TRUST EXISTS
Speaker Before House Ways and
Means Committee Asserts That Ad-
vance in Prices Since Passage of
Payne Tariff Bill Was Not Because
of an Artificial Fixing of Prices.
Protests From Other Sources.

Washington, Feb. 7.-American
manufacturers of print paper laid be-
fore the ways and means committee
of the house their objections to the
reduction of the duty on Canadian
print paper, as proposed by the pend
ing reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada. The prin-
cipal address was made by F. M. Hugo
of Watertown, N. Y. Arthur G. Hast
ings of the American Pulp Paper as
sociation of New York and F. j. San
senberger of Wisconsin also spoke.
Mr.. Hugo argued that it was unfair
to select one industry and make it pay
the price of good fellowship between
the United States and Canada. He
said it was proposed to give the Ameri-
can industry nothing in return for the
sacrifice asked of it. He concluded by
inquiring what had happened since
the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tar
In act that further reduction of duty
now should be proposed.
In response to questions from Repre-
sentative Boutell of Illinois, Mr.. Hugo
said that the price of print paper in
the United States went up after the
passage of the Payne-Aldrich law.
Mr.. Hugo said the price was abnor-
mally low during the tariff agitation
preceding the enactment of the Payne.
Aldrich act and the increase since its
normal prices.
Denies Agreement on Prices.
Representative Clark of Missouri
wanted to know If the increase was
not due to you gentlemen artificially
fixing the price" That Mr.. Hugo de-
MED. The manufacturer argued that
placing print paper on the free list
would smash American industry. Rep
resentative Randall of Texas suggest
ed that that was what the manufactur
ers said would happen if the duty was
reduced eighteen months ago.
Three protests were presented on
the opening of the session of the sen
ate against the passage of any bill in
ratification of the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada. One protest was
from the National Grange and was
presented by Senator Gallinger. II
complained that favorable actor
would result in increasing the value
of Canadian farm lands and farm
products at the expense of those Of
the United States.
Another was from the American So
ciety Of Equity, in session at Indian
apolis, and was presented by Senator
McCumber of North Dakota The
third, presented by Senator Nelson
came from the Commercial club o
Elbow Lake, Mimi, and enumerated
many articles of American production
which it was urged would be injuri
ousy affected.
