WOOD PULP ADMISSION
RESTS WITH THE COURTS
President Will Exclude Free
Importations From coun-
tries Other Than Canada.

In message to the House of Rep
resentatiyes today President Taft an
nounced that this government would
refuse to admit wool pulp and paper
free from any nation other than Cana
cided the question raised by many Eu-
ropean governments under the favored
nation clauses of their treaties.
After the passage of the Canadian reci-
procity bill, by which wood pulp and pa
per from Canada were admitted free into
the United States, six European cOun-
tries demanded that their wood pulp and
print paper also be admitted free.
Last month the House adopted reso-
luton asking the President what nations
had made these claims and today's mes
sage was i'm answer to that resolution
Accompanying the message the Presi-
dent sent to the House letters from Sec
rotary of State Knox and Secretary OF
the Treasury MacVeagh. containing in
formation as to the countries interested
and as to the amount of wood pulp and
paper imported into this country since
passed.

The President says that the questions
of law now raised can be better con-
tive construction, and continues:
Il have therefore directed that the re.
fusal Of the Treasury Department to adj
init wood pulp and paper under the joint
effects of the Canadian reciprocity act
and the favored nation clauses of the
treaties with other countries shall stand
as the attitude of the government pend
ing the consideration of the two questions
above stated before the tribunals regu-
larry appointed by law for the considera-
ton of such questions

Only n momentary response was made
by the copper stocks to the monthly re-
port of the Producers Association. which
showed reduction in stocks on hand of
22.3OO.OOO pounds. Rock Island prefer
red was bid up two points, which aroused
some interest in other Reid stocks, Le-
high Valley rising to 1S4. The tone OF
the general market was much better, but
stocks were in scant demand.
Business shrunk to almost nominal pro-
portions as the bears progressed. In the

NEW YORK. January 9.-Heavy pres
sure was directed against the leading
railway shares at the opening OF the
market today and prices receded rapidly.
Union Pacific was once more subjected TO
IL severe attack, opening with sale OF
S.000 shares at 100 to 1854, an extreme
loss of rs. Canadian Pacific fell back
points and St Paul Il point. The indus
trial issues held fairly steady, with the
exception of United States Steel, which
was forced back point.
Prices stopped falling within few
minutes after business began, but the re-
sultant recoveries were trivial. and the
development of weakness in certain src-
eialties kept the list somewhat fcverish.

Zig Fire Hurts Market.

After "A brief period of weakness, due
largely to the alarm over the burning OF
the Equitable building. the market be-
came quiescent and displayed little life
during the remainder of the morning.
Early reports of the fire as sent to Lon
don led TO selling of Americans there.
When the New York market opened trad
ers took their cue from the heavineSs
abroad and attacked the list. The weak
ness was most pronounced at the opening
in the International issues. Stock ex-
change houses were flooded with inquiries
from their out-of-town correspondents.
and selling orders were heavy. The ner-
rousness soon wore off, but the list made
only q small recovery.
LarGe selling orders made their appear
ancc again in Union Pacific, and II re-
ceded to it's initial low figures. Not much
change occurred in other stocks, outside
of Third Avenue. which improved IL.
The general undertonc was heavy and
business was accordingly light. Bonds
were easier.

Riuht on the Job.

At the time Dewey captured the
Philippine Islands there was only one
lighthouse in operation in the Philip
pine waters-that on Cape Melville,
Balabac island. south of the island Of
Palawan and marking the entrance be
tween the China sea and the Sulu sea.
As is the custom in time of war. the
Spanish authorities had ordered all
lighthouses to have their lights extin-
guished when it was discovered that
an attack on Manila was threatened
by the American navy. 1t appears that
this order was carried out at all other
places except at The lighthouse men
toned above. where the order was
never received. The keeper Of this
light kept his light burning up to June
80, 1899, without assistance. and was
paid for his services from May 1, 1899,
to that date by the Philippine govern
ment.-Philippines Monthly.

LEGAL BLUNDERS.
A Queer Decree of Divorce Issued by a
French Judge-Confusion of an
English Court.

Some years ago, it is said, q legal
blunder of a most extraordinary char
acter was committed IN one of the di-
vOrce courts in Paris. BY some misap-
prehension on the part of the presid-
ing judge, whose papers and mind had
got confused, he actually mistOok the
name Of an advocate who had been ar
guing a petition for the name of the
petitioner himself and in granting and
signing the decree Of dissolution of
marriage Of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead of grant
ing the prayed for release of the advo-
Gates client. As the lawyer had no de-
sire for separation from his wife and
as there was no process for annulling
an absolute decree for divorce, even to
meet such a remarkable case. it be-
came necessary through this judicial
error for the man of law TO remarry
his spouse without delay, and this he
did.
A somewhat similar error was COM
mitted in the English court of chan
Gerry There had been a litigation over
some property, which was held by one
man and claimed by another of the
same name. IN evading some order of
the court the holder Of the property
had committed a contempt. and on
this being called to the attention Of
the judge an order issued for the sum
moning, not of the guilty party, but of
the claimant Of the same surname, and
the order, a very severe one, was ac-
tually in execution before the error was
discOvered.-New York Press.

C0WEO THE THIEVES.
How an Energetic Captain Recovered
the Money Stolen From One
OF His Crew.

Attaching a mans property for debt
is supposed to be a legal process. but
an incident which occurred years ago in
the city Of NatcleZ, as related by Dayy
Crockett in his Life and Adventures. ''
shows that there are other attach
ments" which sometimes accomplish a
benefcent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when I was
last at Natchez. declared Mr.. Crockett.
A steamboat stopped at the landing.
and one Of the crew went ashore to
purchase provisions. He went into a
saloon on the way, and the adroit in
mates contrived to rob him Of all his
money. The captain of the boat, de
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope Of persUading them to refund
but they declined.
Without further ceremony the cap
tain, assisted by his crew and passen-
gers, some 300 or 400 in number, made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been
committed. Then he allowed fifteen
minutes for the money to be forth
coming, vowing that if it were not
produced within that time he would
put steam to his boat and drag the
house into the river.
The thieves knew that he would
keep his word, and the money was
promptly produced.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

The Earl Kept His Head, and the
Highwayman Lost His.
In Sporting Days and Sporting
Ways" Ralph NeviH relates two Incl
dents Of the early nineteenth century
In which English highwaymen figure:
''In August, 1919, Lady Stanley,
travelling from York accompanied by
her servant, was stopped by a high
wayman, when the maid in her alarm
took up a bottle Of ginger beer, and
the cork flying out made such a report
that the highwayman instantly gaIlop-
ed off in great alarm"
Lord Berkeley's encounter with one
Of the famous gentlemen of the road"
had more serious consequences:
"Being driven over HOunslow Heath
he was awakened from sleep by his
coach being brought to a standstiI
and a threatening face looking in at
the window.
4 have you at last, my ford, said
gruff voice, though you said you
would never yield to a robber DeHverr
Certainly was the earl's reply,
but tell me first who is that looking
over your shoulder?

to look and at the same moment Lord
Berkeley shot him through the head

The [ ior of ST M-rk

The symbol of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of St Marks made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white ag-
ates. faceted. Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought. and its retracted. gap
ing mouth and its fierce mUstaches
give it an oriental aspect. The cfea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century. It is c0njectured that it may
have originally formed a part Of the
decoration Of some ASSyrian palace.
St Marks lion it certainly was not
originally. for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up IN front to allow the evangel
to be slipped under its fore paws.

Husky DOES of Labrador.

All along the coast Mt every Eskimo
encampment and about the cabins of
the IiveyereS are numbers of husky
dogs. In winter these animals pull
the sledges and form the sole means
Of travel or communication from set
tlement to settlement. During the
summer they are not fed by their
owners, but are left to seek their sus-
tenance as best they can; hence the
hungry brUtps range the land near the
coast and add to the problems of Lab
radOr. rs they permit no creature to
live that they can pull down. IF

overnight only its bare bones would
he found in the morning. Even TO hu-
man beings they are sometimes dan
gerOuS when night begins to fall and
on occasion when hard driven by hun
ger they have been known to attack
children in the day. Considering they
are hardly ever fed in the summer.

more i'll deeds to set to their account.

GIBRALTAR.
The key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had a Stormy History.

The key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had Stormy History.
England has been in possession Of
the rocky prOmontOry of Gibraltar
since 1904 From that time to this it
has been a crown colony under the ad-
ministratiOn Of a governor. By reason
Of its important strategical position 1t
is called the 'key Of the Mediterra-
mean"
Gibraltar has had a stormy history.
In I'll the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik, who called it Jebel-al-
Tarik (Hill of Tarik) and built a for
tress on the prOmOntOry. Part Of these
ruins are still extant. In 1909 it was
taken by the Castilians. only to be re-
captured by the MoOrs in 1888. 1t was
held by them until 1862 Following the
taking and sacking of Gibraltar in
1910 by BarbarOsSO, extensive military
works were built there by order Of
Charles Y.
In 1904 the prOmOntOry was cap
tured by a combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt, fighting for the ArchdUke
Charles Of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
tTians and took complete possession Of
the works.
British possession since that time
has been unbrokcn, although it was
under Spanish Siege for nearly three
years and eight months, beginning in
1T79. Twice the garrison was on the
point Of falling because of the starva-
ton of its defenders.
