Swasey, Maine, Opposes Agreement in
Behalf Of Maine Paper Mills.

Washington, Feb. 22-The Senate cont
mite on finance which IS conducting
hearings on the Mccall bill to carry out
the provisions of the Canadian reciproe-
ity agreement today took up the wood
pulp and print paper provisions of the
bill.
The first witness was Representative
Swasey of Maine. who protested against
the passage of the bill. He spoke on be-
half of II paper mills in his district
Responding to questions by Senator Tai
iaferro, Mr.. Swasey denied the existence
of a paper trust" lie declared there
was no need to open Canadian forests
because there was pulp wood enough in
this country to supply all demands.
Arthur c. Hastings of New York. rep
resenting the American Paper and Pulp
Association embracing a25 manufacturers,
read letters signed by John Norris and
Herman Ridder of New York, represent
ing the American Publishers Association,
directed to newspapers in various sec
tions of the country. The purpose of Mr..
Hastings was to show that the news
papers We're united to compel lowering
of price Of paper, and to answer the
charge that there is 4 paper trust and
that it is under investigation by the de-
partment of justice because of curtailing
production.
I'VE have been criticized for shipping
large supplies of paper abroad" said Mr..
Hastings. But We do that because the
market is stable the laws of the foreign
countries are not so varying. We have
not known peace here for two years
and have been pilgrims to Washington
regularly"
He said there was no paper trust and
that the books of all the big mills now
were open to the tariff board.
III this agreement should go into
force" said Mr.. Hastings. capital would
rush into Canada and soon there would
be an over production"
There is not q mill in the United
States that could compete With Cana
dian mills, according 10 Mr. Hastings.
No AFTERNOON session WAS held by the
Senate committe on finance. but the hear
ing of the interests that opposed Cana
dian reciprocity will he continued tomor-

ANOTHER BOMB.
The Ninth Explosion Within
Seven Days in New York.
Dropped Down Air Shaft 10
Explode Near Basement.
Panic In Building and nelghbor'
Houses--Tenant Threatened.

New York, Feb. 22.-Thc ninth Black
Hand bomb explosion in New York
within a week occurred early today in
a block of tenement houses on East
62d street. The bomb. equipped with
a fast burning fuse. vas thrown from
the roof Of a five-story tenement down
a. narrow air shaft, exploding in the
lair between tho second and third
floors.
The force of the blast in the narrow
shaft was terrific, throwing the walls
on both sides out Of plumb and hurl-
ing fragments of brick and plaster
upward IN a shower over the adjoining
roofs. The building rocked as though
about to collapse and the tenants, 80
in number, We're thrown from their
beds as If shaken out of hammock.
Nine persons were injured but none
seriously.
When the police reserves reached
the scene there was panic. not only in
the building where the explosion had
occurred, but in all the neighhoring
tenements as we'll, ana any effective
search for the bomb -thrower was made
impossible by the more immediate
necessity of quieting the 200 or 800
men, women and children who were
rushing half clad about the narrow
Railways and streets.
When quiet was restored the police
found on the top floor Il fruit dealer.

IN THE HOUSE.
Naval, Fortification and Diplomatic
and Consular Bills Passed.

Washington, Feb. 22-The House OF
Representatives is rapidly clearing its cal
endar so that no responsibility for what
now appears an inevitable extra session
can be charged to the lower branch OF
Congress. Today three big appropriation
bills. carrying in the aggregate $l95,06O :
900, We're passed. OF these, the naval bill
carried $l25. 600, the Notifications bill
$500, 900. and the diplomatic and consular
bill about S4,100,0Oo.
The House now has only three more
supply bills to pass. The sundry civil,
the general deficiency and the Military
Academy. The latter probably will not
occupy more than a few hours. So the
chances are that the House will be mark
ing time when March arrives.
The naval bill having been approved in
committee on the whole last night was
quickly disposed of today. \ motion TO
recommit it and cut down the building
program from two battleships to one was
