TENSE SITUATION AT Ell
PASO GREATLY AGGRAVATED

El Paso, Texas, Jan. 22.-The tense
situation here produced by the massa-
ere at Ysabei recently was today ag-
gravated when details of the killing
Of Bert Akers, an American rancher
from YsIeta, Texas, became known,
Akers was slain by Bernardino Du-
ran, a Mexican cattle rustler, in a
fight yesterday afternoon at San Lo-
renzo, Chihuahua, village few
miles below the border.
With a companion, Douglas Law
renee, and a Mexican police official,
Akers sought to recover cattle stolen
last Monday from Mrs. Murphy, q
neighbor at Ysleta, when Duran with
his brother, FREDERICK, opened fire
from the roof of their house.
General Gabriel Gavira, command
ant at Juarez, gave out the following
statement which he said covered the
circumstances:
'eThree days ago two Americans ap-
peared at the offices Of the mayor and
requested the aid of q police officer
to look for six or seven cows that had
been stolen from them One officer
of the secret service was furnished.
"About three o'clock Friday after
noon they went toward the place
named San Lorenzo, where they
learned some cows were hidden.
s1The Americans went to the house
and knocked, one of the Durans an
swering. He asked what they wanted.
They told him they wanted TO see
the cows. Duran requested them to
show their authority.
''The Mexican officer said he did not
have an order for search, but showed
his star. Duran then said he would
see what his brother thought of it,
but in few moments, the two Durans
appeared on the roof and began
shooting at the visitors. The two
Americans and the Mexican officer
returned the fire at the same time
backing away in order 10 get their
horses to flee. The. Duran brothers

A MYSTERIOUS
FIRE ON SHIP

Said To Have Originated

CARGO FOR RUSSIA

Origin of Fire Mystifying

New York, Jan, 22.--Mystery sur
rounded the fire which forced the
Norwegian freight steamer Sigma to
put back to this port today after
having sailed yesterday for Arch
angel, with large cargo consigned
to the Russian government. The fire
boat William J. Gaynor met the
freighter at quarantine and after
quantities Of steam had been turned
into the Sygna's forehold from which
clouds of smoke were pouring when
she reached port, it was believed the
fire was virtually under control.
Officer and members of the freight
er's crew said that so far as they
knew. no explosion preceded the fire,
but they were unable to offer an ex-
PLANTATION of how the blaze originate
eel I'm hold which they said con-
tanned only structural steel and rail-
way material. When asked if there
was any evidence indicating the fire
had been Of 7ncsndiary origin, the
Officers said, shat It was too soon
to make an investigation" and de-
clined TO comment upon the unusual
features of the blaze.
Members Of the Eygna's crew who
covered the hatch Of the forehold
yesterday said there was no indica-
ton Of fire when the freighter sailed
and that It was early yesterday eve
ming before one OF the watch saw
some smoke escaping from around
the hatch. The cover was hurriedly
taken Off and while no flames could
be seen, great quantity Of smoke
rose from the hold. The captain and
officers were mygtified concerning
the origin of the blaze and 1t was de-
cided to put back at once.
Owing to the tightly packed mass
of steel beneath decks, the crew of
the fireboat found much difficulty In
TO enter the hold. Tt was impossible
to locate the center of the fire or
to learn the nature Of the material
that was burning and for this rea-
son the fire boat continued TO pour
steam into the hold for several hours.
The Sigma win be locked, partly
unloaded and thoroughly examined,
to determine the cause of the blaze.
Steel rails and various forms Of
structural steel were said to be in
the bottom of the forehold, while. on
top Of this material was o large
amount Of railway supplies, chiefly
steel parts for assembling In Russia.
It could not be learned whether the
vessel had any munitions aboard.
The fire on the Sigma Is the latest
Of q long series of fires and explo-
sions which have occurred on vessels
shortly after they sailed from this
and other American ports with NUM-
tions or supplies for the allies. In
numerous cases It has been found
that the fires were caused by in
cendiary bombs or fuses.
Norton, Lilly & Company, agents
for the Sigma, later stated that the
freighter did not carry any munitions
or highly inflammable material, the
cargo consisting chiefly of steel, rail-
way car parts and wire.

the present time Germany and Swed-
en- are only countries importing paper
to this country and this is in small
quantities. At the present time the
wholesale paper houses of the United
States are able to handle only a small
portion of the orders offered them
for paper from foreign countries. They
are saving their supply which they
have on hand at the present time for
home trade, as this demand is greater
than the supply.
Hard to Get Supply.
THE condition the paper markets
are facing now is not a condition of
prices but condition of getting the
goods regardless of the advances in
prices Not long ago 1 read a letter
written by S. j. Hodgins, president of
the Central-Topeka Paper company to
one of his statesmen in which he said !:
Take no new business at any price
Make no promises to our regular trade
beyond those authorized by this of
nee, as what we might authorize you
TO do today has no bearing on what
we might be compelled to do tomor-
row, as 1t is no more question of
supply than it is a question of price,
According to information gathered
from the wholesale houses there is no
chance for relief from the present con-
ditionS until the war ceases and there
is every indication that it will grow

situation is much worse now and the
advances have been much greater
during the last 80 days The govern
ment has tried three times since the
first of the year to let contracts for
their paper supply but all bids have
so far been rejected as there is no
house that will fill them at price less
than from so to so per cent increase
over last year.
Advance so Per Gent
Now to look into the price of some
of the different kinds of paper. All
papers with a mill cost of over fifteen
cents have advanced about 40 per
cent. Likewise all envelopes have adj
vanced in proportion.
Must Raise Prices.
THE price of ink has advanced
from fifty to one thousand per cent,
according to grade and many colors
are uno btainable. Print paper, the
grade that our newspapers are printed
cent. Colored paper has increased in
per pound and some of the colors,
such as deep colors produced from i'm
ported dyes, are not obtainable at any
price"
In summing up the situation Mr..
Lewis says that the Kansas newspaper
men must come to the front with the
same methods that are used by the
houses from whom they buy their pa
per and raise the prices of their fin
ished products in proportion or when
they figure up their profits at the end
of the year they will be on the wrong
side of the ledger.
