TROOPS INSURANCE
IS CUT TO $1,000
Widow or Mother Who Marries
Again to Lose Allowance

Washington, Aug. 30.-The maxi
mem of insurance a soldier can obtain
-was cut from $4,000 to $1,000 by the
house committee on interstate COM
merce yesterday and the bill was or
dered reported to the house. The
committee also amended the bill by
cutting off the allowance of a widow
or widowed mother upon her remar-
riage. AS recommended by Secretary
McAdoo, this allowance remained In
force two years after remarriage.
Representative Parker, republican,
of New Jersey, was the only man 20
vote against the favorable report. 1t
was upon his motion also that the
maximum insurance was cut to $4,000.
Mr.. Parker will make a fight against
the bill on the floor. He has in his
district one of the largest life insur-
ance companies in the United States.
:, Representative Adamson, democrat,
of Georgia, chairman of the commit
tee, said that he expected the only
opposition to the bill is to be stirred
UP by insurance companies and by ad-
vocates of the old pension system. He
does not believe they will be able to
make a formidable fight against the
measure, and expects that it will pass
the house with but limited debate.
Representative Rayburn, democrat,
Of Texas, will write the report on the
bill and it will be presented to the
house with a view to asking for its
consid Grafton by the house on Satur-
day. This is contingent, however,
upon the action taken by the. ways
and means committee on the eleven
billion dollar bond issue now pending.
Should this bill be ready by Saturday.
Mr. Adamson said that he will not
press his bill for consideration until
the bond bill is passed.
The war insurance bill provides for

PRESIDENT. FIXES
Price ON PAPER
Manufacturers Must Furnish It
for 2 IL Cents Pound

Washington. Aug. 30.-In an or
der which newspapers publishers de-
clare will serve as an important
precendent, President Wilson has
fixed price of ar cents on news
print paper for use in publishing the
governments daily official bulletin.
The order fixing the price was issued
by Secretary Baker at the presidents
direction under the national defense
act which empowers the government
to commander supplied needed for
war purposes. 1t was directed to the
International Paper company, which
had declined to furnish newsprint
for the bulletin at less than cents
a pound.
Newspaper publishers who learned
of the order today voiced the hope
that 1t might open the way for cheap
er newsprint paper to publishers gen.
orally. They called attention to state
ments that the presidents price poll
CIV will be one that provides the
same price for public as for the gov
eminent.
The presidents action was taken at
the instance of the joint congressional
committee on paper Of which Sena-
tor Fletcher is chairman, When the
bulletin first began publication the
committee offered bids for newsprfnt
and the cheapest price named was
three cents. This, the committee de-
cided was too high and appealed to
the International on patriotic grounds
to sell it's product to the Public
Printing office at IN cents. The COM
pany complied and for a time fur-
nished the paper but declared IN
creasisg production costs compelled IL
to raise the price to three cents.
Senator Fletcher went to the feder-
al trade commission for it's cost OF
production figures and the committee
decided the International could sell
at 2h cents and still make a fair
| profit. The ssituation, then was laid
before the president who asked At
| torney Gen. Gregory for an opinion
| as to how far he could go under the
defense act. The attorney general
held that supply Of PAPER for the bull
letin wss necessary for war purposes
! and recommended that the paper be
| taken If 2h cents was fair price.
| The result was that the president
| directed Mr.. Baker to go ahead anc
the International was ordered te
supply a sufficient amount OF paper
to print the bulletin at 21s cents.

WIFE LOVES ANOTHER.
Mrs. Thomas Saliva Leaves Husband
and Takes $500 With Her.

Thomas Saliva, who, with his wife,
has conducted a store at All Myrtle
street, reports to the police that, his
wife has deserted him. He claims that
not only has she left him without
warning, but that also she has taken
$500 which he has carefully saved
for a rainy day.
Thomas states that he would not
object SO strenuously, If his wife
wanted the money for herself, but, he
alleges, she has taken one Lombardo
with her to help her spend it. Mrs.
Saliva has also taken her two children
with her so, the police are inclined
to believe, this is a genuine elopment.
