NORRIS ALLEGESA
 PAPER TRUST EXISTS

Washington, June 1e.--John Norris, chairman of the paper committee of the American Newspapers union, has issued a circular to publishers charging that the refusal of the International Paper company to furnish information called for by the Senate committee on finance was because the data, if furnished, would have shown that the International Paper company had bought mills and stopped their production of news print paper to repress competition.
 He alleged that the patrons of hus- bandry mislead the committee about it's membership and that its membership, in- stead of being 100000, as reported, is only 425,033, including women and children and others not farmers. It is contended by Mir Norris that the head of the firm of Allen and Graham of New York city had been "using the mask of the National Grange for six years to promote and pre- vent legislation in the name of the grange though collecting large sums of money from many classes of manufacturers.
 MT. Norris said in his circular that tho head of that firm had ''marshalled the professional grangers and arranged the order of their appearance before the Sem ate committee as If they were a set of mannikens and that he was also on hand when the so-called farmers marched to the White Houso to warn. President Taft of the vengeance of their wrath be> cause of his course in reciprocity

ST. LOUIS FIRE
 VERY SUSPICIOUS

St. Louis, June 16-7A spectacular fire which firemen fought while the mercury was at 97 burned fiercely for four hours tonight and damaged the mill, warehouse and lumber yards of the William G. Frye Manufacturing company to an ex- tent estimated in excess of s3O0O0O.
 That the loss did not reach much higher figure is due to the fact that a strong wind carried the flames away from the United railways property and the mill proper of the Frye company.
 While the fire was at It's height a de- mand for protection was made upon the police by John T. Larson, treasurer of the Lohse Patent Door company, which operates large mill:
 Mr. Larson drew attention to the sinnil- arity of the circumstances surrounding tonights blaze and the first last night which destroyed five large manufacturing plants covering an area of eight acres.
 Tonight's fire was but a few blocks from the area swept Thursday night
 Pressed for more definite information upon which to act, the police were cited by the manufacturers to a number of in- stances tending to connect some member of the carpenters union, which organiza- ton has been on a strike since March I, with the fires.
 No arrests have been made though guards of police have been redoubled in the district as measures of precaution against a recurrence of fires.
