whether there has been collusion
among the manufacturers to boost
prices unduly is said to be whether
the increased demand for paper has
been entirely. disproportionate to the
increased production. Manufacture
ers claim that publishers are using 20
per cent more paper than ever be-
fore" Consumption figures present.
ed to the commission, however, vary
widely. G. F. Steele, secretary of the
News Print association, has estimated
that figures for June show the largest
daily production OF news print ever
recorded. Shipments, he declared,
represented SO per cent of this pro-
duction.
None of the substitutes for pulp
recently suggested is commercially
feasible, according to officials of the
various bureaus interested. Cotton
stalks, most frequently mentioned,
would be prohibitively expensive to
collect, they say. The same situation
holds for corn stalks, broom corn,
rice straw and flax. As yet the ex-
perments have not passed the labora-
tory stage and so far as is known
no commercial use OF the discoveries
is contemplated anywhere.

Crisis in the News Print Paper
Situation Will Cone in October

Washington, Aug. l0.-The crisis
in the news print paper situation,
which already has cut down news
paper profits enormously, will not be
reached till late in October, when
contracts come up for renewal, ac-
cording to reports received from
many sources by the Federal Trade
commission. The presidential cleo
ton, together with the European war,
is expected to increase an already
unparalleled demand for news print
which manufacturers tell the trade
commission they will hardly be able
to meet. This year for the first time
they have not been able to lay up
large reserve during the summer.
The trade commissions report on
its investigation of news print prices,
it was announced today, will be pub
Iished not later than October ], re-

FOR PROTECTIVE TA?IEE
Insists Upon Protection for the
Farmer as Well as the
Man in Business.
HE is FOR PREPAREDNESS

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. TO-
Charles E. Hughes, republican presi-
dental nominee, told an audience of
farmers in the Auditorium here to-
day that he believed i'll a protective
tariff that would protect them as well
as the men in the factories.
II believe in a protective tariff" "
Mr.. Hughes said. Il believe in pro-
lection without abuse. l think that is
possible.
"Our opponents, who for generations
have told US that it was contrary to
the constitution of the United States
to have duties except for the purpose
of revenues, are now telling us that
there is an economic revolution and
that perhaps we can have duty on
dye stuffs and a nonpartisan commits
sion. But | believe in trusting those
who really accept the doctrine of pro-
lection with its enforcement. And |
believe in protection for the farmers
just as | believe in protection for the
men in the factories"
Mr.. Hughes repeated his views on
preparedness, saying that he stood
for reasonable preparedness.
Weakness breeds insults and in
suits breed war;" he said. 81 stand

Firm insistence upon American
rights, backed by reasonable prepar-

PLANS OF SENATE
DEMOS REJECTED
Republican Caucus Insists Ma
jority Take Responsibility
for Congress Adjournment.
TEXT OF THE RESOLUTION

Washington, Aug. l0.-Republicans
of the senate in conference today de-
clined to accept the legislative pro-
gram submitted yesterday by the
democratic steering committee with
a view to adjournment OF congress be-
fore September |, Those who were
inclined to agree were outvoted by
senator's demanding action on the i'm
migration bill at this session.
Senate democrats already have de-
termined in caucus that the immigra-
ton bill should be made the unfin-
ished business Of the senate when
congress meets in December. Wheth-
er the action Of the republicans to-
day will prolong the session beyond
September ! could not be foretold.
Democratic leaders said they thought
it would make no difference with
plans for bringing the session to a
close and was taken merely to empha-
size the fact that the republicans did
all in their power to get vote on the
immigration bill before the national
election.
Text Of Resolution.
After two hours deliberation on the
democratic proposal that no contested
legislation be taken up except the
shipping, revenue, workmen's COM
penSation and appropriation bills and
conference reports, the republican
conference adopted resolution de-
claring:
"The power to control both leg
islation and adjournment rests with
the democratic majority in congress.
The republican senator's reserve the
right to support or oppose or re-
quest action on any legislation now
pending and they further urge that
the immigration bill shall be taken
up, considered and acted on at this
session."
The compromise program offered
by the democrats yesterday would
have eliminated from the legislative
program one measure in which pro-
gressive senators are interested, the
corrupt practices bill, and they are
said to have insisted in the confer
ence today that they would be party
to no agreement which would pre-
vent them from demanding a vote
on that measure. No mention of this
bill was made, however, in the con-
ference resolution.

Ministers Call Each
Other Falsifiers

Canton, O., Aug. l0.-No action to
change the creed of the church was
taken here today by the National
Doctrinal congress OF the Christian
church, following spirited debate on
the subject by Rev. S. S. Lappin OF
Cincinnati and Rev. Charles Morrison
of Chicago. The question at stake
was whether persons who had re-
ceived baptism in churches which do
not practice immersion should be ad-
mitted to the Christian church with
out that ceremony. Lappin termed
the unimmersed Plugged nickels"
and Corn thieves" while Morrison
asserted that churches which would
not receive unimmersed members
from other churches were Sinful"
They called each other "falsifers."

WHOLE VILLAGES
ARE SWEPT AWAY
Total Loss of Life in Cabin
Greek Valley Flood Cannot
Yet Be Estimated.
HUNDREDS ARE DESTITUTE

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. TO-
Twenty-three bodies have been re-
covered from the debris carried down
by the flood which swept the Cabin
Creek valley near here yesterday.
Rescue parties have penetrated some
distance above Cabin Creek Junction
and meager reports brought back by
couriers and from the railroads in
dicate that the loss of life has been
heavy, although no accurate estimate
can be made. Persons driven from
their homes to the mountain are re-
turning to find whole villages of min-
ing cabins swept away, while dis
tress and suffering is seen on every
hand.
Two Companies of Soldiers.
Two companies of the Second West
Virginia infantry left Camp Kanawha
by trolley this morning and were
taken to Cabin Creek Junction with
orders to penetrate the valley and
extend relief to all who needed it.
They carried provisions and tents.
A special train was being made up
here on the Chesapeake G. Ohio rail-
road, and will go as far as the hastily
repaired tracks will permit. From
that point numbers of men provided
with provisions will seek out the
spots where destitution is most pro-
nounced. 1t is expected that they will
be able to go to the entire length of
the valley and penetrate adjoining
valleys, also hard hit, before tomor-
row.
Looters Are Arrested.
Reports reached here today from
United States Commissioner Howard
c. Smith, who led relief party for
number of mining companies last
night, that looting had commenced
and number of arrests had been
made and some property recovered.
The militia has been ordered to guard
property and restore order, leaving
the greater part of the relief work to
many parties which will be in the val
ley before afternoon.
So great has been the loss that coal
companies with mines in the valley
estimate that many thousands of dol
lars will be needed to feed and clothe
the helpless miners and their fam
lilies, as scores of them have lost all
their possessions.
More than 1000 residents of the
valley are on the hill tops, the major
ity of them without sufficient cloth
ing, and all OF them in danger of
starvation.
Seventy-Five Dead in One Town.
Huntington, w. Va, Aug. 10-A
report reached here. this morning to
the effect that Jarolds Valley, a town
of 500 inhabitants in Boone county,
at the head of Coal river, was washed
away in yesterdays cloud-burst and
that seventy-five of its populace had
lost their lives.

Death at
Chicago May be Due
To Suicide Pact

Chicago, Aug. l0.-Because Of the
continued illness Of Mrs. Marie
Davis, the inquest on the death
of her husband, Morse Davis, was
postponed today for week, after
several witnesses had testified con-
cerning the finding Of his body in
his apartment in Michigan avenue
hotel yesterday. Mrs. Davis told the
police yesterday that she and her hus-
band had taken poison by mistake for
salts, but detectives hint that finan-
cial reverses might have led the
couple, who came here from Van
couver, B. C., to enter into suicide
pact.
John Russell, a detective from the
South Clark street station, testified
that his Investigations so far led HIM
to believe that Davis was temporarily
embarrassed in finances.
DR.. P. B. Welsh, the hotel physi-
clan, testified that he did not believe
the Davises had entered a suicide
pact.
Morse Davis. son of the dead man,
is on his way here from Vancouver,
according to the police.
