WRAPPING PAPER !
ECONOMY FAVORED
Washington Business Con-
Germs Indorse the Sugges-
ton of The Star.
ALL DEPENDS ON PATRONS

Managers of leading department.
stores, laundries, shoe stores and other
mercantile establishments in the Dis
trict were enthusiastic in their in
dorsement today of the efforts of The
Star to procure wrapping paper econ
omy for Washington, as launched cd
itorially yesterday. The verdict was
unanimous that the plan materially TO
reduce the consumption of paper used
for this purpose is entirely practical
and desirable.
1t became clear. in the course OF tne
interview, that the merchants OF the
city are back of The Star In the mat
ter, but that the success OF the plan
depends entirely upon the attitude OF
the public 1t was explained that. at
though wrapping paper is one OF the
major items in the expense biiis or
the stores, although entirely practical
means suggest themselves for the re-
duction of this expense. which ulti-
mately devolves upon the pubic the
attitude OF the purchaser on the mar
ter was the one which must eventually
decide the question.
limitations that a reduction In the
extravaganza of wrapping paper con-
sumption would materially anect Inc
level of prices were made. The Star
was everywhere congratulated upon
this new effort to abolish needless
waste by explaining the prevailing
situation to the public.

Would Benefit the Patrons.

Among the opinions voiced were the
following:
w. Balderson, manager OF S. kann,
Sons 6, Co., said:
Il can't say too much in favor Of the
stand taken by The Star IN this mat
ter. We have reduced our expenses in
SO far as is possible without reducing
our service. 1t is obvious that every
penny we can save benefits the GUS
tomer--and here is practical means
of cutting waste. The Star Is on tho
right track.
The suggestion of The Star that the
excessive use of wrapping paper
might be materially reduced is timely
and thoroughly practical. There is no
question but that wrapping paper. as
used today, Is one of the merchants
principal expense items. Obviously it
is desirable for all concerned to reduce
it-and whether or not this shall be
done is up to the public. The safety
of packages would in no wise be
jeopardized by reduction in the
amount of paper used. The whole
question is one of appearances.

Cost Increased 300 Per Cent.

+. w. Mckenzie, manager of the Toll
man Laundry, produced statistics which
showed that the price of cardboard
used extensively in the wrapping in
that business has increased more than
900 per cent and paper 100 per cent.
"A single package now costs US 1 cent
or more' he said, land the price still
drifts up. I consider the point taken
by The Star excellent. We have al
ready been forced by necessity to re-
duce the amount of paper and card
board used in wrapping. a means by
which the public could help substan-
TALLY would be to send one large pack
age to us instead of five or six smaller
ones"
Edwin Hahn of William Hahn & Sons
shoe store stated that. general
proposition. he thought that a reduc-
ton in the consumption of wrapping
paper would be an e ccelient thing.
Il feel that all the public needs he
said, is to be brought to an aporecia-
ton of the fact that there is waste for
which they are responsible and for
which they pay"

~HE Texas rangers, who are now
 # active in the turmoil along the
 Mexican border, share with
 A the mounted police of the Ca nadian northwest the honor Of being the best qualified and trained men for the task of keeping order and peace over large territory. Their work dur ing recent crises has been of the high est order, and the average Texan swears by the efficiency of the rangers.
 The act creating the rangers was passed shortly after the Mexican war. It states that the force is to be organ ized flor the protection of the frontier against marauding and thieving par ties and for the suppression of lawless- ness and crime throughout the state" There have been as many as 400 men in the force. At present there are only ninety-two, divided into four compa- nies, each commanded by captain.
 The way they use their discretion was illustrated late last summer when three rangers and three unofficial citi- zens set out to free the lower Rio Grande valley of Mexican marauders. They rode through the wilderness of mesquite trees, prickly pear and cactus. The whole countryside was quivering with the heat The animals that lived in the bush were silent, and the only life to be seen was now and then a chaparral cock that had been disturbed and had fled.
 In the midst of this burning silence the ranger who was leading the band suddenly halted and pointed to a thin column of smoke.
 Tt is a campfire Ee remarked softly.
 The men dismounted and walked be- side their horses, making no sound open place beside the trail, where they found two Mexicans armed with rifles and loaded revolvers. The men were questioned briefly. The questoner de- cided that they were outlaws and left them dead beside the trail and passed on. Not long after it became known that the rangers were acting in this way General Funston declared that the whole border was under martial law, | Texan authorities in protecting the | frontier.
 These men, however, had been en- gagged in the same kind of work as their predecessors, and they went about | it in the same way. The most famous exploit of the rangers occurred about thirty years ago. when John Ireland was governor. Thieves and murderers were crossing the border then as now They did not call them insurrectionsts, nor did they apply any other euphenis- +ic names to them. No one in Texas had any illusions about them. Governor

selves by working together in close cooperation. I do not discourage your loyalty and enthusiasm to your leader, but I must say it is essentlal that before we leave this city It should be definitely determined that we will march and fight together in this great conflict.
 But if the two conventions agree upon your great leader you will find no more enthusiastic supporter than myself"
 Borah concluded amid applause and shouts of Roosevelt and Borah." As Borah shook hands with the lead- CTS on the stage and left, the floor hummed with excited discussion of the dramatic development.

 they said they did not believe could be done.

 The blanks on Americanism were approved without dissenting voice and without applause
 "NIurder'' in Mexico.
 MT. Lewis, holding an Indiana proxy, offered an amendment to the Mexican plank to include criticism of the murder" of Americans on the high seas.
 The amendment read:
 Failure to deal firmly and prompt lv with the menace of Mexican disor- der and threatened violations of the rights of our citizens on the high seas has. resulted in the Wanton murder of our citizens and in the tragic weaken ing of our national -e1f-respect."
 The convention by overwh elming vote approved the amendment.
 To the paragraph relating to peace efforts. Judge w. L. Ransom of New York, a member of the resolutions committee, proposed to add to the declaration for equal rights, to all men in all lands, the following:
 I've pledge ourselves not to con- c1ude a treaty in Russia or with any other country that will not expressly nrocure such absolute rights"
 Dean Lewis did notobject either to the amendment reading "murdering Americans on the high seas" or that relating to Russia.
 Chester Powell, California, of the resolutions committee, opposed writ ing details into blanks, saying the committee had framed the platform in broad general terms.
 Delegate Henry Moskowitz of New York made an impassioned speech fla voring the Ransom amendment, charging that Americans were discrim- mated against in Russia.
 A new amendment by Judge Ran som reading as follows, was substi- tuted:
 we should not conclude a treaty with any country that will not express 1v assure to American citizens such ab- solute rights"
 Ransom explained that the resolu- tions committee believed the lan- guage should be general and not single out one nation by name. The substitute was approved with a roar of applause.

Texas Rangers Seldom Capture Outlaws;
 They Leave Them Where They Find Them

of their start they arrived at El Paso without the loss of 8 single man, and that part of Texas was quiet and un- disturbed for long while afterward.
 The rangers are not troubled by any bubbles about international law. If they start after a man they get him, even if he crosses the border. Governor Colquitt reminded the state depart ment about two years ago that this Texas force crossed the border in 1874, under orders from Governor Coke, in pursuit of outlaws wanted on this side. They got them.
 In 1892 Captain Hall crossed over to capture a band without orders and in spite of a warning.
 It took an hour to do the work on which they had set out, and at its end every man in the camp was dead. Two hours after the rangers had arrived

Ireland decided to rid the state of them and sent for Captain Lee Hall, the com- mander of the rangers. The captain found the governor in his office in his shirt sleeves.
 T sent for you, Lee" the governor said, "because things have come to such a pass along the border that no decent man can live or travel in that part of the state with safety. I want you to clean it up. Can you do it?"
 T can," Hall replied.
 "All right-go ahead" the governor said.
 These were the only orders issued, but Hall knew what was to be done. He began his plans at once and within a week started on what has come to be known as the "red ride"
 He used the whole force of rangers, which he divided into squads of from

States and in Hawaii, the Philippines

States and in Hawaii, the Philippines and at Panama.
 This project calls for an addition to the present armament of the coast de-
 lenses of twenty-tw 16-inch guns,
 .Wehty-four 12-inch guns. mounted for
 ne ] range fire; tWentythree 6-inch
 guns four 3-inch guns and forty-eight
 lo-lnch mortars, all for continental united States; for the insular posses
 slons eight 12-inch guns mounted for long range nre, and for the Panama
 canal four 16-inch guns, four 12-inch guns for long range fire and twelve 16- inch mortars.
 While the present type of fortif1ca-
 tion, utilizing the disappearing gun principle, will be retained, the army also proposes to experiment with steel turret construction for big guns, and the bureau of ordnance is working on
 plans for such a turret, to be built on
 Fishers island, at the eastern entrance
 to Long Island sound.
 The war department is also recon- mending the construction of sixteen inch movable hoWitzers, six in number, which may be used in connection with the operations of a mobile army and will be handled by motor tractors It IS also about to experiment with fourteen inch gun mounted on rail-
 road car, which may be employed for defense against hostile landings in un- fortified narbors. If the theory of mounting heavy guns on railroad car
 riages works out the United States may ultimately make extensive provision for
 such mobile type of coast defense. Many of the items in the fortifica- ttons bill show heavy increases over the coireap onding items for the current fiscal year. The probable appropria- tions follow:
 Constructing guns and mortars. .S2 3OO GOO
 Fire coHtrol stations. ................. 6OO,O00
 SearcllShts for harbors. 226, TOO
 Mountain field and siege guns.... 2,S21, 800

 For the past thirty years the annual Notifications act has carried an aver age appropriation of about $5,6OO,0O0 The present bill provides for a total expenditure of more than four times that amount. The seacoast defense plan upon which the army is now work ing contemplates total expenditure for continental United States of s199.- 87,584, of which amount the sum of $129, TOT has already been appro- priated by previous congresses. For the defense of the insular possessions the army plan calls for a total expendi- ture of s33,236,759, of which s221346o9 has been appropriated.

CITY COURT UPHELD.
Judge Markham Sustains Decision In
 Sanders Egan Case.

The decision of the local city court in the William Sanders Roger Egan case, which grew out of an automo- bile collision on the Plainville road, was today upheld by Judge Daniel Markham in the court of common pleas. Each claimed the other was responsible for the accident, but the case was decided against Egan by de- fault, in the local court and Saun- ders was awarded damages of $72.35 and costs. The case was appealed.
 Today Judge Markham handed down his finding, upholding the local court and directing the additional costs be borne by Egan. Attorneys D. E. O'Keefe of this city and Will liam Egan of Hartford appeared for Egan and M. H. Camp for Sanders
