PRICES Of WOOD PULP

virginian Says Paper Manufacturers
Paw Same Now as Before Cost

Although manufacturers of paper
throughout the country are raising the
cry that prices are being boosted for
their product on account of the scarcity
of wood pulp. T. S. Vance of Warren
ton. Va, who has supplied a large
amount of this pulp to the market. has
complained to the federal trade com
mission that there is an abundance or
the pulp in this section and that the
buyers for the mills are paying prac-
tically the same prices as they always
have in recent years. He asks close
investigation into his charges.
With his complaint Mr.. Vance sub
mits a letter from T. c. Baker of Pur-
cellville Va who, il is declared, is
large buyer for pape: mills in this gen
eral section, and in which he says there
is no shortage of pulp supply 50 far as
he can see.

on June 10. 1916, lis that the majority
of paper mills throughout the country
are overstccked with raw material. and

others furnish. but their policy was TO
take some wood from all Of their con-
tractors in order to keep US in line,
and that they might be independent OF

Mrs. Whitehouse Indicates She
May Accept Chairman
ship for Another Year

The victory chorus, How We Did It,"
will mingle with more serious re-
frain, "What Shall We Do With It?"
when the New York State sufragists
gather at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to-
day for their forty-ninth annual con-
vention. This is the jubilee conven-
tion--only one year ahead Of time
and the suffrsgists will celebrate with
a series of brilliant meetings the most
significant single victory the cause has
ever won in this country.
At the same time they will not allow
the enthusiasm of the moment to end
with the cheers, but will give serious
elaboration to the problems Of the
future policy Of the organization. The
most important of these concerns the
extent to which the suffragists shall
take part in practical politics in New
York State.
Joy reigned in the ranks last night
as word sped through the headquarters
that Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouss
had consented to accept the office OF
chairman for another year. Mrs
James Lees Laidlaw, first vice-chair-
man OF the Woman Suffrage Party and
close friend of Mrs. Whitehouse, gave
the impression that Mrs. Whitehouse
had been persuaded that she must run
for the good OF the organization.
No Other Candidate In Sight
The official statement upon the sub
ject was as follows:
Mrs. Laidlaw said that many peo-
ple had conferred with Mrs. White
house begging her to take the chairman
shin again. The nominating cOmmitte
will not make its report until to-mor-
row morning. Mrs. Whitehouse is hop
ing they will be able to find some on,
who is willing to assume the respon--
sibility of the office of chairman and
fitted to carry on the work. Mrs
Laidlaw has every reason to believe,
knowing Mrs. Whitehouse's devotion 10
the cause, that she will respond, II she
feels that no one else has been found
&c undertake the work"
The primaries for the election OF OF
ticers will take place tomorrow at
noon. Candidates may be nominated
mon petition of twenty-five members.
So far no other candidate but Mrs.
Whitehouse is mentioned.
Theodore Roosevelt, Governor Whit
man and DR.. Anna Howard Shaw will
address the great jubilee meeting this
evening at the Metropolitan Opera
House. This does not mean that the
suffragists have gone over to the Re
publican party" as some agitated in
diyiduals complained. The facts ore
that Secretary McAdoo was invited to
address the meeting as the personal
representa- of President wilson
and the Democratic Administration,
hut was unable to accept. Mrs. Ray
r,ond Robbins, national president OF
the Women's Trades Union League,
WAS also invited, but was unable to be
present.

noon with the reading OF reports from

Of women for industrial service during

In New Haven to-day. For fortnight
volunteer registrars have been attend

non-compulsory registration of women
with the least possible friction and the
greatest possible results.
Women will be called TO replace
woman who has gone into military SER
vice or a woman who has volunteered
for some other form Of war duty. To
avoid serious housing problems II is
hoped that enough registrants will be
secured to supply all demands for labor
in New Haven without seeking addi-

tions makers are asking for hundreds
of workers.
Registration will continue one week.
After that other cities and towns will
begin theirs, profiting by this city's ex-

il the District Commissioners would
recognize the suffragists as political
prisoners, the women would cheerfully
obey the rules of both institutions.
Miss Todd made the offer in good

the commissioners having no warrant

Miss Nolan brought the additional

that Superintendent Whitaker of the
Workhouse, unwilling to take the con-

of the women that they be treated as
political prisoners, and thus bring the
strike to an end.

Alimony Not Income,
Supreme Court Rules
Kathrine Gould Wins Suit
That Will Affect Many
Ex-Husbands

The United States Supreme Court
ruled yesterday that alimony Is not
subject TO an income tax. The ques-
tion was brought TO an issue by Ksth-
rine Gould in an effort TO recover from
Howard Gould, from whom she is sep
arated, the amount Of income tax re-
tanned by him on alimony paid to her
last year. The decision o, the court
afixes the tax on the husband and
leaves the alimony intact.
At the time OF the separation Of
Howard Gould and Kathrine Gould
the alimony was fixed at $4,000 a
month. When the question concerning
the tax first arose, a year ago, Mr..
Gould was advised by the Commission
er OF Internal Revenue at Washington
10 withhold the tax from the alimony,
paying his wife the difference. The
decision Of the Supreme Court reverses
that decision.
Just how important the decision is
may be understood by the fact that It
was estimated recently that in New
