LIKES NEGRO NANNY
Washwoman Wins Against Efforts to
Take White Child From Her.
els Y,

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The- Chicago
juvenile court had before it today the
plea of an aged negro washwoman,
Mrs. Camilla Jackson, that she be al
lowed to retain custody of Marjorie
Delbridge, a 14-year-old white girl.
The evidence showed she was charged
to rear the child when it was a week
old by the mother, Zemula Delbridge,
an actress, who died in Jacksonville,
Fla, seven years ago.
She was paid SO a week during the
life of the mother and for a few years
subsequent by a Mr.. Davis, whose
identity was not known to the negress.
Juvenile court officers who found the
two living in the negro quarter here
urged that an attempt be made to find
the girls relatives and that, failing
in that, she be placed in white home.
The Washwoman, aided by sympathet-
ic customers, however, engaged attor-
neys and began fight. Marjorie,
too, said she wanted to stay with
Nanny Camilla"

REJECT R. R. ALLIANCE
Rail Chiefs Won't Accept Unions Aid
Against Labor Investigations.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The national
conference committee of railroad
managers and representatives of the
four brotherhoods of railroad en-
ployeS resumed here today their con-
ference relative to the application of
the Adamson law in the event that it
is held constitutional by the United
States supreme court. Thru an agree
ment between Attorney General Greg
ory and the railroad attorneys, the
effectiveness of the Adamson law has
been suspended pending the outcome
of the test suit. Therefore, on January
l. the employees will continue their
work without any immediate benefits
from the law which was to have gone
into operation on that day.
The railroads, it is understood, will
not withdraw the suit or permit any
thing to halt the decision of the court.
1t was stated also that the railroad
managers would decline to enter into
an alliance with the unions in return
for their support in the effort to de-
feat President Wilson's proposed
policy of compulsory investigation of
labor disputes. The railroads also will
decline legislation consolidating a
number of state boards.

COULDN'T BUY PAPER
Kansas Publisher Unable to Get Bids
After Washington Conference.

Atchison, Kan, Dec. 2S.-George
w Marble of the Fort Scott Tribune
Monitor, who represented Kansas
newspapers at Washington before the
federal trade commission and round
ed up the Wisconsin paper mills,
writes The Champion as follows:
Il approached more than dozen
manufacturers, but could not get
car of paper nor a quotation. The
federal trade commission experts
show by exhaustive figures which
seem complete that news print was
made cheaper the first six months of
1916 than the two previous years.
There has been practically no expor-
tation of news print, but much impor-
tation-ten times as much. The av-
erage cost of manufacturing in the
United States and Canada the first
six months of 1916 was $32 ton. The
manufa cturers have water-tight
combination. There is practically no
shortage of materials, but there is an
increased demand. However, on July
the manufacturers held in their
warerooms a surplus of approximately
so, 900 tons of news print

REPLY UNDER PROTEST
Carranza's Answer Expected Today
Will Oppose Part of Treaty.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Definite
clearance of the doubt over Carranza' S
position on the American Mexican
troop withdrawal protocol, was ex-
pected today. Chairman Luis Cabrera
of the Mexican side of the joint peace
comm ission has an appointment to
present the first chiefs answer to
Chairman Lane of the American side.
Meantime it developed that Ambas-
sador Designate Arredondo probably
will leave here within the next two
weeks and may be replaced by
Cabrera.
Arredondo for a long time is said
to have felt keenly the fact that his
government and himself were not
fully recognized by this administration.
1t is believed Carranza finally will
sign the protocol, but will accompany
the signed copy with note explaining
Ne objects to some of it's terms. while
being satisfied in general with it's pur-
poses.
If he does not sign the protocol a
firmer policy toward Mexico will un-
doubtedly result, according to official
irltimations.

for soldiers enlisting the services OF
women all over the land; fed tens OF
thousands of refugees from the inVad-
ed districts: equipped and operated
hundreds of hospitals, furnishing the
necessary supplies themselves; estab-
lished tea and coffee rooms for the
free distribution of these beverages;
aided the government feed the soldiers
at the front; furnished laborers in
many instances to dig trenches, build
bridges, pontoons. etc; and. in a gem
eral way they have solidified the Rus
sian empire by having the people work
with the soldiers for the common
cause.
Organized Small Factories.
This work was begun early in the
war. In 1916 it made such headway
that no one can dispute its magnitude
today nor it's probable influence on the
Russia of the future.
Similar to the Zemstvo and Munich
pality unions in that it is an organiza-
ton growing out of public spirit, is the
committee which during 1916 mObi-
lized the small industries of Russia to
help the army with munitions. There
are several large munitions factories
in Russia which deal direct with the
war department, but there are hun
dreds of little foundries, machine
shops, mills and works of all sorts too
small to do business of this sort alone.
The committee grouped all these, put
specialists in charge of district groups,
and had them fill orders for the gov
ernment. The little industries were
thus grouped into one big industry by
a committee of patriotic men who re-
ceive no pay for their service tho, of
course, the little shops are paid for
whatever they supply the army.
'Russia's own output of munitions
more than quadrupled during 1916
thru these and other expedientS The
little concerI< could not make great
siege guns, ~ course, but they could
and do make trench mortars, hand
grenades, caissons, cannon wheels
hatchets, spades, the smaller shells
and what not.

Manhattan. Kan, Dec. 2S.-Re-
solved that the practice of fishing the
Kansas streams when they are frozen

that some good examples of a bad
practice shall be made, State Fish and
Game Warden w. C. Tegmeier has de-
cided to offer a reward of SO for in
formation leading to each and every
conviction of a violation of the state
law covering this illegal fishing.
Upon arriving in Manhattan, Mr.

of local sportsmen, who declared that
the streams about Manhattan are be-
ing depleted of their fish by parties
who had been cutting holes in the ice
and taking out the fish with spears
and gigs.

CONCERNING ADVANCES
Publishers Discuss Advances I
Subscriptions.

Erie, Pa, Dec. 2S.-On and after
January 1, 1917. the afternoon news
papers of Erie, Pa, the Times and
the Herald. will sell for two cents a
copy, an increase of 100 per cent.
D. d. Moore. manager of the New
Orleans Times-Picayune says:
while the present high price of
print paper is a calamity to great
ma ajority of publishers, ii is not en-
tirely without its compensating angle.
Cheap white paper has tended to make
newspapers cheap in more ways than
one. IL the present shortage results
in better edited newspapers, 1t will be
blessing to the public. The tend.
ency has been to print entirely too
much trash. Condensation of news
and closer scrutiny of pictures and
| features will, in my opinion improve
the newspapers of this country"
Lafayette Young, jr.. of the Daily
Capital, Des Moines, Ia, says:
THE paper famine, the shortage of
paper is due to insufficient powers of
production. 1 believe this difficulty
dates back to. the time when the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation fought the paper manufact-
urers and reduced their profits to such
"A degree that capital avoided the in
! dustry. l believe the only relief is
| going to come from a decrease in
consumption, which is undoubtedly
going to be forced by the high price
! of the product itself. The new prices
| announced by the International Paper
| company, and which will establish a
basis for other manufacturers. is go
| ing to compel every publisher in Amer
| ica, wiily-nilly, to reduce consumption
| increase subscription and advertising
| rates. Ultimately this is going to mean
better newspapers and better adver-
| tising. The managing editors and pub
fishers are going to pay more atten-
will be handled with loving care as to
| its value for the reader. The adver-
tiser will necessarily produce the best
copy that is in his system, and will
confine his advertising to only the
very choicest of mediums.
The paper shortage is causing a
| revolution in the newspaper and pub
fishing business, and 1t is going to re-
quire several years to complete the re-
adjustment"
To one New York newspaper the
manufacturers representative stated
| that if the publisher desired to reIin.
quish the remaining months of hi:
contract, and sign new one for one
year, dated January l, 1917, it would
| be possible to make rate of 8 cent.
q pound at the mill, freight, storage
carriage, and insurance to be paid b,
the publisher in addition. This wa.
done. The new rate means an increast
of approximately 100000 a year tc
the publisher in the cost of his new:
print requirements.
