ference of a hundred or more news
paper publishers with several manu-
facturers of news print paper was held
here today
| ,Those present, representing the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation and the Print Paper Manufac-
turers' Association voted to appoint
committees to meet after the delivery
OF the report on the print paper sit
uation next week by the Federal Trade
Commission to see if knowledge gain
ed from the report points the way to
an adjustment OF the problem. The
publishers agreed that the present high
price of paper has placed the newspa :
per publishing business in position 50
hazardous that remedy must be
found without DELAY. The manufac-
turers asserted that the increased cost
of production justified present prices.
Many of the publishers favored an
agreement by both sides to abide by
any price set by the Federal Trade
Commission. 1t would have to be q
sentleman's agreement as the commlS-
sion has power only to investigate. as
was explained by Commissioners w. j..

vAWTER CASE IS
NEARING 4 END
CALHOUN ARRAiGNS fHETH Sc.
VERELY IN DEFENDING WIFE
OF PRISONER.

Christiansburg, Va, May 9.-What
promised to be the last day of the
trial Of Charles F. Vawter for killing
Stockton Heth. iJr., began under rays
Of the first sunshine i'm this section
since early in the trial, and a court
room crowded to hear what are ex-
pected to be the best argumentative
efforts of some OF the best lawyers
of Virginia
Attorneys in the case are receiving
suggestions from all over the coun.
try. A Richmond woman wrote that
Vawter should be acquitted because
his technical knowledge would be of
aid to the country during the war, but
added that it should be stipulated
that neither Vawter or his wife ever
should take another drink.
Mr.. Calhoun, attorney for the de-
fense, delivered the first address Of
the day. He painted in vivid fashion
Mrs. Vawter's sacrifice on the stand
when, "at last, with the whisky fur
nished by Stockton Heth out OF her
system, with the power OF his dom
mating influence gone, her woman
hood reasserted itself, and she took
up the cross OF shame which she
must bear to her grave to make
atOnement for her sim"
The attorney arraigned the prose
cution for holding up "the crazy let
ter" to spring without warning Stock
ton Heth he described as 'insidious-
ly going about his task of dragging
down the name OF woman until he
crucified her upon the cross Of in
fanny"
