Militia Against Hay Law
The Mayor said that while certain
self-sceking officers Of the Nauonai

confident a poll OF the National Guafd

iority in favor OF universal, obligatory
service. as did the National Guard OF
New York. He said further that he
knew that universal training. without
any favorite classes or individuals, was
the only system acceptable TO LABOR:

CARS PROMISES
STIR NEW HOPE
People of Russia See
Brighter Future for
Army and Duma

Petrograd, Jan. ga profound i'm
preston has been made here by the
reseript addressed BY Emperor Mich
olas to the new Russian Premier, Prince
Golitzin, calling upon him, among other
things. to see that the government de-
votes its first attention TO the question
of supplies for the armies Of Russia.
The rescript is regarded as clear
presentation of the problems which
have oppressed the nation for the last
six months, as well as an eXhortation
to more prompt and energetic action
in meeting them. The clause promising
a more benevolent attitude on the part
of the government toward the legisla-
tive chambers is received with particu-
lar elation, and has dissipated the
gloom which prevailed after the recent
postponement OF the sessions OF the
Duma and the Imperial Council.
The Emperor's order, according TO
the belief here, could not have come at
a more opportune or dramatic moment
"A moment when the gathering unrest
of the country had reached the great
est volume and the possibility of solu-
ton OF the political problem appeared
more remote than ever.
Some of the more optimistic com
mentators regard the pronouncement oil
the Emperor as the turning point IN
the internal political difficulties, and
believe that the mere enunciatlon OF
the troubles of the nation, which had
taken vague and fantastic form IN re
cent months, will be the first step IN
overcoming them. The "Novoe Nremya,'
referring TO the clause in the rescript
concerning the parliamentary cham
bers, says:
These words evoke great hopes for
the future in the hearts OF the Rus
sian people. who have waited long and
eagerly for this cooperation between
the government and the representatives
of the people.
"Thc present government, under
Prince Golitzin has a difficult task 10
perform in realizing the aims set forth
in the rescript. The predecessors OF
Prince Golitzin had little success.
Whether the present Premier succeeds
or not the task is now clearly defined,
and it remains only TO find some efec-
tive means of accomplishing It,"

an unfortunate accident in which the
enemy had no hand.
The inquest began TO-DAY while the
work of excavation and the recovery o.
bodies was still going on. Only an oe.
casional story Of some escape relieved
the narrowing tales told by witnesses
in the coroner's court. One woman
who lost her husband was in her home
with her aged parents and two children
at the time Of the explosion. The ROOF
of the house was lifted OF OF the four
walls and tumbled outward, but not one
of the inmates was scratched.
There was nothing said at the IN.
quest 70 throw any light on the cause
of the fire responsible for the expo
sion. DR.. Addison, Minister Of Mum.
tions. said that there was no cause for
alarm among munitions workers, the
precautions suggested by experience
being fearlessly adopted.
whether other plants IN the popu'
lated districts will be removed TO the
country sections has not been decided
but il is unlikely that they will be, as
the authorities feel that England has
been singularly free from munition &C
cidents, considering the tremendou,
number of plants in operation.

Dominion Fixes News Print Advance
Federal Boar May Ask Broader Powers
Washington, Jan. 22.-The Federal
Trade Commissions report on its news
print paper investigation, although
virtually completed, probably will be
held up for some days, il was learned
to-day, until further inquiry is made
concerning the effect of a Canadian
government order fixing maximum news
print prices in Canada. A meeting an
nCunced for Friday at Chicago between
paper manufacturers and publishers
also may bring Developments that will
Leve bearing on the report.
The Canadian decree, although il
may not affect directly the American
market, has aroused much interest. 1t
is known the commission is considering
recommending legislation TO prevent a
recurrence of the present paper situa-
ton. in which publishers have found
themselves helpless against high
Trices and an apparent shortage. IL is
understood that, among other things, it
may ask for broader powers. The COM
mission now can only investigate and
report.
Some officials in close touch with the
paper situation believe the market will
adjust itself soon, and that even re-
striction Of Canadian exports hardly
will affect the American market 20 any
marked degree. They say there actual

and American publishers.
The Canadian decree was issued IN

maximum advance in paper prices of
SO a ton over old contracts. II limits
exports TO so per cent OF mills out

dian or American management.

Writing Experts Also Say
Lawyer Signed Hotel
Register

Albert J. Hamilton and John V.
Haring, handwriting experts, TESTIFIED
yesterday in the trial of Franklin d.
Stafford that the letters received by
Rae Tanner, Blanche Unger and Rose
Helen Kaiser from Oliver Osborne
were written by James W. Osborne.
The names 80. Osborne" and Mrs. o.
Osborne" on the registration slip Of
the Hotel Kensington. in Plainfield, y.
j., were also written by James W.
Osborne, the experts said.
Hamilton and Haring were on the
witness stand all day, with the exeep-
ton OF a nalf-hour at the beginning OF
the morning session, when Benjamin
Slade, attorney for Stafford, tried 20
introduce evidence that James W. Os-
borne had purchased jewelry from
Charles A. Keene, at $50 Broadway.
Mr.. Keene testified that he had sold
Mr. Osborne rings on December 3, 1915,
and in May, 1913. However, his testI-
mony. as wel as that of several of his
clerks, was ruled out by Judge Learned
Hand.
Both OF the handwriting experts
went into great detail. The letter
which Mr.. Osborne and Charles II.
Wax, who says he is the real Oliver
Osborne, have testified was left with
Mr.. Osborne at the Sherman Square
Hotel by Wax was also declared by
the experts TO have been written by
Mr.. Osborne.
James w. Osborne had at least four
separate and distinct handwritings,'
said Hamilton, "and these he could
blend or adopt at will"
On cross-examination William Rand,
jr., Special Assistant District Attorney,
delved deep into Hamilton's past life.
He caused a gust of merriment TO
sweep over the courtroom when he
read in a rapid sing-song sort OF voice
from booklet bearing Hamilton's
picture and entitled THAT Man from
Auburn" a list Of twenty-three diff
ferent lines of endeavor in which the
booklet stated Hamilton was an expert.
They ranged from Handwriting eX-
pert" down through BULLET Identified
ton" whether or not given bullet
was fired from a given revolver TO
skilled observer at autopsies."
Are you an expert in all these
things ?" asked Mr.. Rand.
81 have been so qualified" said Ham
iltOn.
Mr.. Rand then asked him if he did
not formerly run a drug store at Au-
burn, n. Y. Hamilton said he had
owned a store there for twenty-nine
years.
On redirect examination by Mr..
Slade Hamilton explained that the
booklets from which Mr.. Rand read
were prepared and circulated around
courts 10 be used by cross-exam .ners
every time he testified.
