PAPER PRICE IS LEFT
WITH TRADE COMMISSION
TO DETERMINE MAXIMUM PRICE
TO BE CHARGED FROM MAR.
TO SEPT. /, THIS YEAR.

WASHINGTON print pa
per manufacturers, facing criminal
prosecution in United States courts
for alleged combination in restraint
of trade, proposed to the federal trade
commission today that it fix a reason
able price for the output of the
principal plants of the United States
and Canada. The commission an
nounced tonight that it had the pro-
posal under consideration and would
reply Immediately. 1t is generally
believed the answer will be an ac-
ceptance.
The action of the manufacturers
gives a signal victory to American
newspaper publishers, who, in the
face of advancing paper prices, have
seen nothing ahead but ruin for
many of their number. If the pro-
posal is accepted officials say it will
mark an expansion of the functions
of the government, which in arbi-
trating the differences between the
two industries opens up a wide field
of possibilities for the future.
No Criminal Prosecutions.
Although nothing has been said
concerning the continuance of grand
jury proceedings in New York, it is
we'll understood the manufacturers
move was predicated on the assump-
ton that there would be no criminal
prosecutions. The manufacturers in
their proposal, while denying there
have been any violations of the law,
agree that the trade commission, if
it finds it necessary, may make rec
concentrations for such changes in
the business of print paper manufac-
ture that the inquiry may maintain
it's organizations management and

NOTORIOUS BANDIT DEAD.
ONCE LED FAMOUS BAND
NOTED ROBBER FOUGHT HIS
PURSUERS UNTIL HE WAS
SHOT TO PIECES.

Chris Evans, leader more than a
score of years ago of one of the
most notorious gangs of California
train robbers, died a few days ago at
his home in Portland, Ore. He had
served II years in prison and was re-
leased in 1911 through a pardon
from the governor of the state. He
was then broken in health. Evans
operated with John and George Son.
tag in their train robbing exploits,
and their methods were spectacular.
After holding up the engine crew
they would detach the engine and
run it some distance from the train.
While one of them robbed the ex-
press, the others would keep the pas
sengers and train crew from inter-
fering by raking the sides of the train
with buckshot.
The Southern Pacific filled the
country with guards and detectives,
but it was some months before a
clew was obtained. 1t finally led to
Evans livery stable near Visalia,
Cal. The suspects reputation was
so good in the community that many
of his neighbors were surprised to
learn that he was the noted bandit.
A posse marched to his home, where
Evans and John Sontag were found.
The men put up a desperate resist
ance, Evans killing a member of the
posse and wounding another. The
bandits escaped to the foothills where
they secured protection.
Sentiment Cost His Freedom.
The bandits decided finally to 90
to Mexico and Evans said he would
return to Visalia to bid his wife and
daughter good-by. The authorities
learned of his purpose and posse
was stationed in a deserted house
along the trail. Cornering the ban
dts in field, Evans and Sontag took
refuge in hay stack from which
they exchanged shots with their pur-
suers for hours. Finally both were
silenced and the victors found Son.

and sentenced to the penitentiary for
life.

BULL DOG SMOKES
PIPE IN NEW YORK
Puffs From Meerschaum Daily as He

Jack now smokes a pipe, and his

he leads the secretary of the Society

street up to the Union Trust Com
pany, Fifth avenue and Sixtieth
street.
Jack and the secretary between

twenty-four hours to deposit them.
But Jack will not permit any aid
in carrying his pipe. 1t is a real
meerschaum, and it was presented to
Jack through his master, Monsignor
John j. Dunn, who is the director of
the society. The donor was a person
well known in New York society.
One day recently, when the hour
arrived for the trip to the bank, Jack
could not find his pipe and had to &c
without it. w. McMaster Mills, one
of the vice presidents of the socie.

they had saved piece by piece and
rolled themselves and tin cans, which
they had carefully treasured after
using the contents. They burned
kerosene and had no telephone or
other modern conveniences.
The authorities compelled them to
put in water supply, but even after
it was in they continued to use water
from the we'll in the yard just as they
had done when they were children.
1t was three weeks ago that Miss
Margaret, the more sprightly and adj
venturous, stumbled into neigh
boris house, soaked from the rain and
pitifully exhausted. She must use
the telephone, she said, and call a
physician. No, she wasn't sick, but
her sister was.
The physician ordered both to the
hospital Miss Margaret died from
pneumonia. She was buried in
Sleepy Hollow cemetery. The shock
to Miss Fredrika was such that prob
ably the dissolution of partnership
will be brief.

BONBAZINE TWINS"
PARTED BY DEATH
SPINSTERS KEPT QUAINT STORE
FOR FIFTY YEARS-SOLD TO
WHOM THEY APPROVED.

DOBBS FERRY, N. Death
has dissolved the partnership of the
"Bombazine twins" Miss Margaret
Moser, SO, and Miss Fredrika Moser,
70, Miss Margaret died few days
ago and Miss Fredrika may not sur
vive the shock.
For fifty years the twins had pre-
sided over a notion and dry goods
shop in corner of their big house
on lower Main street. 1t was leg
end that they had not had to renew
their stock since starting business.
The dusty knickknacks, bandannas
and bolts of calico that adorned the
shop windows gave credence to the
tale.
Although when their father, the
late John Moser, retired from bust
ness his daughters had decided that
it would be in keeping with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age to estab-
lish a genteel business of their own
they had a clear idea of the princi-
Piles to guide them. Their princi-
Pile and their faith in them survived
the years that diminished the num-
Der of customers to what would have
been an alarming paucity had not
Moser been thrifty.
Reason for Nickname.
AS their generation passed with it's
occasional customers the sisters with
drew more unto themselves, and the
irreverent dubbed them the "Bomba-
zine twins" partly from their old
fashioned dress and partly because
it sounded like them, of whatever
material their gowns might be made.
Daily the sisters sat in a back
room, knitting, chatting in a lady
like manner and sometimes doing.
Seldom were they interrupted. Miss
Fredrika devised contrivance
which warned them if a customer
should happen to enter. She always
leaned stick against the door when
she had opened for the day. If any
one came in the stick would fall, and
an aged fox terrier who dozed with
the "Bombazine twins" beside the
stove would bark.
Though customers were few, but
the firm would not deal with all who
came. Unless they approved of the
person who sought to buy, they po-
litely intimated that the person
doubtless would be better suited |
elsewhere. Within a month Miss |
Fredrika has refused to sell stockings
to a young woman who had ceased
regular attendance at Sunday school. |
Wouldn't Take Roomers.
Similarly their principles made
them reluctant to rent rooms in their
big house. They felt that sin these
days one never knew whom one
might obtain as tenant"
The big house in which they lived
was almost filled with bundles of |
used wrapping paper, balls of cord |

Recruits Should Not Expect Big Salaries
 Before They Deliver

The rookie who asks too high a salary at the start very seldom gets anywhere, is the consensus of opinion that has been handed out by many of the big league team managers, writes George Mccoy in the Pittsburgh Leader. The rookie is green and his work is never what is really should be, so that by asking a fair salary he would be getting his money for prac- tically going to school.
 At the end of the first year and after he has become seasoned to the game he then can ask for more and probably get it from the team man. agement, but in all fairness to the club management and the player himself he should use judgment when asking for his pay for his first year in big company.
 The rockies at the Pirate camp at Columbus, Ga., showed better form this season than for any season past. The lads seem to be higher grade ball play CTS than have gone to the camp for number of seasons and their work is of the sensational variety at this time.
 If the youngsters are right there is no reason why they, under proper training, cannot develop into first class players and hold the Pirates up in the race better than the team did last year. They cannot fall very far below where the Pirates ended their season in 1916.

COLLEGE SPORTS
 OFF FOR SEASON
 OFFICIALS DECIDE

New York, April That all inter- collegiate sport had already been sus- pended by most of the leading colleges in the East. and that practically all other institutions would follow suit immediately, was confirmed at meet ing yesterday of the graduate athletic managers of Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania, |, who convened at the Martinique Hotel to ascertain the present status of ath- letics at the institutions mentioned
 After discussion of several hours the graduate managers announced that military training at the colleges had received such an impetus through the present national emergency that most athletes were taking instruction to an extent that would interfere with any sort of intercollegiate competi- ton.
 Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Harvard and Columbia have already aIban- doned their intercollegiate schedules. Pennsylvania is to hold a meeting of it's Board of Directors next Monday to come to a final decision in the matter, and the likelihood is that the Philadelphia will follow the example set by the others.

JOHN CAMEL IS
 TO COME BACK IN
 ORGANIZED BALL

After a. years vacation at the ex- pense of the Wards, old John Ganzel is back in the harness again as pilot of the Kansas City club. Ganzel was born AZ years ago toay in Racine, Wis, and was one of five brothers who engaged in professional baseball. One of his brothers, Charley, was backstop for the Boston Nationals a dozen years. John has been making a living from baseball since 1895, when he started with Kalamazoo. This isn't his first experience in Kansas City, as he played in the Kaw metrop- oils way back in '99, having pre- viously played with New Castle, Grand Rapids and Detroit.
 John did so we'll in Kansas City that the Cubs swaRped three good men for him., In 19Q1 he was traded to the Giants, and the following year went to Louisville. He was with the Yankees for a time, and then bought the Grand Rapids club, winning two pennants. He managed Cincinnati in 1908, when the Reds finished fifth, and then took charge of the Roches- ter club, copping three flags. He left Rochester in August, 1915. to take charge of the Brooklyn Feds, and the Wards paid his salary last year, al- though he was not working.

JOHN M'CRAW IS
 A YEARS OF AGE

The Giants will have little birth day celebration today in honor of their distinguished boss, who admits to having spent forty-four years on this mundane spheroid. The most il- lustrious of modern managers was born at Truxton, N. Y., April 7, 1873, and has been playig banseball for coi of the realm evsr since he was a little shrimp of a fifteen year old kid, weighing only 116 pounds.
 His first job was with Clean, N. Y, at s60 month and his board. In 1891 he was with Cedar Rapids, Ia, and in August of that year he was sold to Baltimore, then in the Ma tional League. He has been playing the big time, as athlete and pilot, ever since. From box office viewpoint, McGraw is the greatest manager the game has ever had, for he has always or nearly always-kept his gang playing that peppery kind of ball that attracts customers to the ball yards

CARDINALS AND BROWNS AGREE IN
 CASE OF LEG0RE

St. Louis, Mo, April 7-Branch Hickey will be President of the Car dinals after D. m. tonight.
 A double victory was won in Judge William T. Jones's Court late yes terday when, with the consent of the Cardinal attorneys and based on a subsequent agreement, the court all lowed the permanent injunction with out hearing evidence.
 The agreement specifies that the Browns relieve Hickey of the injunc- ton twenty-four hours after it is granted on condition that the Cardi- nals will not contract or endeavor to contract with, until after July 1, Le- gore of Yale, Brandel of Michigan or Wright of Ohio State University
 The agreement further specifies that Hickey will use his best efforts to have the Cardinals turn over to the Browns Clyde Defate, whom the Browns allege belongs in good faith to them.
 i. Both Hickey and Ball, in the final clause, in view of the fact that no tes- timony was heard and that the in- junction is a technical one by agree ment, insist that their former state- mentS are correct.

tercollegiate activity, and of inf1uenc- Ing, the other colleges to do likewise. 1t was, in fact, at the suggestion of Major Mylin c. Pickering, graduate manager of athletics at Pennsylvania, that yestrday's conference was held. Major Pickering invited the other col leges to send representatives in the hope that some way would be found collegiate sports.
 Major Pickering's first move upon arriving in New York yesterday was to ascertain how the military authori- ties stood on the question. Accordingly he made a. trip to Governors island to interview Major-General Leonard Wood. The latter had a long talk with Major Pickering, and assured him that for the present he saw\no reason why any college activity should be abandoned so long as the military training was maintained. Major General Woods advice to the colleges was contained in the following state ment, which he gave Major Pickering for publication:
 Tn reply to your inquiry concern ing what the college students should do in the present emergency, my ad- vice to you is as follows:
 '"Tell your young men to stick to their present duties until such time as the government calls for men, This 1t will do undoubtedly when it's plans are announced. You have at Penn sylvania a training corps and an off, cer of the regular army assigned as instructor. The most important ser- vice the men can render their country now is to stay at their university ana put in all the time possible under the military instructor in preparing them selves for probable service. There is no reason whatever for the men dis continuing their college work until the governments plans are definitely an- nounced."

MACK SENDS
 STRUNK HOME
 FOR SULK|NESS

Rocky Mount, N. C., April - Amos Strunk, who has not been play ing satisfactory baseball. according to Connie Mack. was sent home yester- day morning to Philadelphia. The action on the part of the Athletics leader came and is a result of a series of differences with certain players.
 At the hotel, before leaving for the ball park, Connie Mack gave out the following statement:
 "You can just state that am through with this player until. he ex- plains the cause of his actions toward 1oa cannot understand why he act ed so sulkily toward me by not speaking to me for teh last ten days I fail to see why he did not make 1t known instead of making us look ridiculous on the ball field.
