CLAIM new EVIDENCE
Publishers Ask for Reopening Of
Print Paper Case.
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-
vailing 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.
II 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 reopening of the case for
the purpose of determining the justice
of prices charged in the past, but de-
clared that it did contemplate the set
tling Of future prices from month to
month.

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
afiidavits presented TO session of the
Iowa house judiciary committees in
vestigation of the Rathbun pardon
case, Governor w. l.. Harding branded
as utterly preposterous" any intima-
tions that he acted corruptly in grant
ing the pardon.
The governors statement was
caused by an affidavit introduced as
evidence by Attorney General III. NJ.
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
affidavits from members of the Rath-
bun family. J. l.. Kennedy of Sioux
City, special state prosecutor, testi-
fled briefly.
"Any intimations that | received
money for the pardon of Ernest Rath-
bun" the governor said, cor in any
way acted corruptly in the matter are
so utterly preposterous that | 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 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 connec-
tion with the latter's appeal for par
don"
The governor referred to the testi-
mony before the committee last Mon.
day of C. o. Hamilton, Sioux City,
clerk of the Ida county grand jury.

by that body against Ernest Rathbun
and his father and brother, but the
only one actually returned was against
Ernest Rathbun for perjury.
Seven affidavits in support OF
claims of state i'm connection with the
granting of the pardon were presented
by Mr. Havner. Two were signed by
