Declare Federal Trade Commission
Will Find justification for Lower
Prices.

Washington, March 24.-Pleas Of
newspaper publishers for reopening of
the print paper case for the. purpose
Of going into the justice Of prices pre-
ailing during the summer of 1918
were made to the federal trade COM
mission.
The publishers, represented by for
mer Attorney General Wickersham.
declared that they have uncovered
new evidence which would justify the
commission in ordering lower prices
for paper than those existing last sum-
mer. Part of this evidence is con-
tanned in Canadian paper investigation
as to the cost of production.
If publishers win their plea the
lower price would be retroactive and
would call for refund by the manufac-
turers.
Henry Wise, attorney for the manu-
facturers, said that the agreement en-
tered into with the publishers did not
contemplate r%eopening Of the case for
the purpose of determining the justice

clared that it did contemplate the set

Brands Story He Accepted $4,000
for Pardoning Youth "UtterIy
Preposterous."
AFFIDAVIT PRESENTED
Father Of Young Man Asserts That He
Gave Money to His Attorney With
Understanding 1t Went to
Governor Harding.

-Des Moines, March 24.-Referring to
Iowa house judiciary committees in
vestigation of the Rathbun pardon
case, Governor w. l.. Harding branded
as utterly preposterous" any intima-
lions that he acted %corruptly in grant
ing the pardon.
The governors statement was
caused by an affidavit introduced as
evidence by Attorney General H. M.
Havner, in which William Rathbun,
father of the pardoned youth, assert
ed he gave $4,000 in currency to his
attorney, George Clark, with the un-
~derstanding it was to go to the gov
ernor.
Mr.. Havner presented several other
af1davits from members of the Rath-
bun family. J.. L. Kennedy of Sioux
City, special state prosecutor, testi-'
fled briefly.
"Any intimations that I received
money TO: the pardon of Ernest Rath-
bun,", the governor said, "or in any
way acted corruptly in the matter are
so utterly preposterous that I do not
consider it necessary to dignity them
with denials.
Contradiction Pointed Out.
"The affidavit of William Rathbun,
Sr., was made after he had testified
before the Ida county grand jury and
as Mr.. Havner admitted to the COM
mittee, his grand jury testimony was
quite contrary to that in his affidavit
in reference to me.
THE affidavit was merely a part of
the bargain entered into by the Rath-
bun family and Havner to save men,
bers of the family other than Ernest
Rathbun from prosecution in onnec-
tion with the latter's appeal for a par
don."
The governor referred to the testi-
mony before the committee last MOE
day of G. Q. Hamilton, Sioux City,
clerk of the Ida county grand jury,
to the effect indictments were voted
by that body against Ernest Rathbun
and his father and brother, but tho
only one actually returned "a against
Ernest Rathbun for perjury.
Seven afidavits in support of
claims of state in connection with the
granting of the pardon were presented
by Mr.. Havner. Two we're signed by
William Rathbun, ST., two by Ernest
Rathbun, one by William Rathbun, Jr.,
one by Fred Kathbun and one by A. G..
Johnson, an Ida Grove attorney.

:atives of the steel industry and the

reduction on pig iron was $4.25 a gross
ton, on billets s. a gross ton and on

No Lower Prices Expected.
Judge e. H. Gary, chairman of the
board Of directors of the United States
Steel Corporation, in announcing the
new schedule, said:
1T is expected that prices durinE

President Hopes to Be Back in
Country With Treaty by
That Time.
MAY MAKE u. s. TOUR
Not Unlikely That Executive May Pre-
sent Views on League to People
Of States Whose Senators
Oppose Pact.

Paris, March PA special session
of both houses of the American con-
gress probably will be called to as
semble about the middle of May, the
date when President Wilson hopes to
return to the United States.
1t is possible that, If the treaty of
peace is sufficiently advanced to war
rant such a course, a special session
of the senate may be called even
earlier to afford it opportunity to deal
with this subject before being called
upon to direct it's attention to other
important matters, chief OF which will
be financial affairs.
Call to Come From Paris.
1t is held to be ~unnecessar for Pres
ident Wilson to be in Washington
when the call for such a special ses-
sion is issued, for this may be cabled
from Paris in advance of his departure
from France.
Mr.. Wilson. however, has reached
no decision regarding the question and
is reserving the shaping of his course
of action until he has a more definite
NASo vi III udIC I'll LID l. IL ~ lllc
lea.
Wilson May Make Tour.
The president is also keeping in
touch with the development of senti-
ment in the United States toward a
League of Nations.
If the situation appears to him to
demand such action, it is not unlikely
that, shortly after his return from
Europa. he will make an extended
speaking tour, presenting his view Of
the issue directly to the voters in the
states whose senators are opposed to
the ratification of the league plan.
Program Reversed for Wilson.
Because of President Wilson's de-
sire to attend sessions of the council
OF en- and the League of Nations COM
mission, the peace conference pro-
gram was reversed. The council met
in the morning, while the League of
Nations body met in the afternoon.
In connection with the league com
missions session to consider amend.
ments to the covenant the text of the
amendment proposed by the Swiss
delegation to the conference Of neu.
trails was given out.
Monroe Doctrine Covered?
1t reads: This covenant shall not
be interpreted as containing anything
contrary to the sovereignty of states
except insofar as the state itself, by
adhering to the covenant, shall con.
sent, and the covenant itself shall not
interfere with the internal affairs OF
any of its members"
While the amendment does not men.
ton the Monroe Doctrine, it is tacitly
understood to apply to it. Some OF
the members of the American dele
cation are inclined to accept an amend
ment on such lines, feeling it would
meet tie demand of the United States
for ONE declaration in the spirit Of
the Monroe Doctrine. s.

send a special mission to Paris for a
meeting with the members of the AL
lied peace conference if the reports
are correct that the Allied powers
will not permit of a discussion of the
draft Of the peace treaty. The Ger
man delegates, it is stated, consider
that if they are not to be given a hear
ing they can spare themselves the
trouble Of a trip to Versailles and in
stead send a messenger to bring the
draft of the peace treaty to Weimar.

REFLECT AMERICAN VIEWS
Severe! English Papers Oppose League
Of Nations Plan.

London. March 22.-Oppos:tion in
the american Senate toward the
league of nations is being reflected in
the ultra-cOnservative British press
which apparently is seeking to kill the
league, or at least make it entirely
subsidiary to The MATERIAL guaran-
tees against war.
Papers like the Globe and Post re-
iterate that President Wilson no long
er represents America. They appear
to believe that incorporation of the
covenant in the peace treaty will only
mean rejection of the treaty by the
American Senate.
