 MT Ryan now is in New York, where he was served with d subpoena to appear in Washington next Thursday, though he will not testify until later. Chairman Graham said today that MT. Ryan would be held under the committees discretion arv authority until his testimony is de- sired. Delegate Wickersham of Alaska will testify Thursday.
 Capt James F. Adams, assistant gov ernment forester. testified today regard- ing President Taft's order of October 2S, 1910 restoring to public domain the shore lands of Controller bay. He said he knew the 30 or 60-day notice before any claims could be filed, missing in the final order was in the original draft. The elimination of the notice is claimed to have given advantage to Ryan claimants on account of their presence on the scene Captain Adams said he did not know why this notice was eliminated, and that it was not required by law, but was customary, in order to prevent persons who might have advance information from gaining undue advantage.

NEW ORLEANS NEWS
 BOYS ON STRIKE
Police Are Outnumbered. Parades Held and Streets
 in Disorder

New Orleans, July 1S.-In less than five minutes after the two afternoon dailies, the Item and States, announced an in- crease of a quarter of a cent in price of papers sold to news boys, all New Or leans knew that news boy strike was on and with a vengeance. The police re- serves were hurried to the business dis trict, but they were outnumbered and at disadvantage.
 Immediately after the first editions had been sent to the news stands around Ca nal street, the stands were raided by mohs of yelling urchins, who seized the papers and tore them up. Canal and other streets were literally covered with mangled newspapers. There were many instances where the boys yanlled papers from astonished readers on street cor nerS.
 Most of the street stands are run by crippled or deformed news dealers and those who did not join in the strike were protected by blue coats who stood to keep off the raiders. Bundles of papers put aboard street cars for carriers on the out lying districts were thrown off and torn up by boys detailed for this purpose. Only a few carriers in the suburbs re- ceiyed their papers yesterday. The police could do little, as, the boys were protected by piclSets and could outrun the officers in a foot race.
 A parade was formed by the boys last night as a demonstration of their strength and determination. Yelling, shreking and wllistlng, they bore banners of their own devising through the downtown streets till nearly midnight. The wording on the banners were directed against both deal CTS protected by the police and the pa pers. One which attracted the most at tention bore the uneven scrawling words "A gentleman would not patronize a 'scab.' Don't buy the Item or States.
 Neither side shows any indication Of giving in
