By unanimous vote, the House committee on judiciary a creed to report favorably the "paper tru?t' resolutions introduced April 2 by Speaker Cannon. One of these resolu tions directs the Attorney-General to in form the House what steps have been taken to investigate and prosecute the Interna tionaj Paper Company of New York and othe- corporations or combina tions engaged in the manufacture of wood pulp or print paper. , The other resolution directs the Secre tary of Commerce and Labor to inform the House what steps have been taken by the Bureau of Corporations toward in vestigating" the paper trust. - The resolutions were subsequently called up in the House and passed. After Clayton (Ala.) denounced the pa per trust as a "criminal trade conspir acy," and Williams called attention to the facility with which the resolutions bad been reported because they had been offered by the Speaker, Payne, chairman of the committee on ways and means, got the floor. May Drive Out Paper Industry. "Does any one suppose, he asked, "that by the passing of a bill puttinjg wood pulp paper on the free list, in the twink ling of an eye you can transfer the in dustry from the United States to Can ada, and that under those circumstances the Canadian Parliament will not im pose an extra duty on pulp logs? "Tf that were done." he inquired, "when would you get your relief? Where would you get your cheaper paper? Where In the name of common sense would it ben efit anybody in this country?' Payne said he knew there was some "cheap talk" about taxing intelligence, b-.it he asked, "Why not hear tins sub ject as intelligent men and not go into hysterics over the matter?" Addressing the Democrats, Payne said the difficulty was the Democrats felt therp were too many votes behind the newspaper men of the country, "who. un dr a protection which comes not from the tariff but from localities that have a monopoly of the newspaper business of the 1'nited States, try to rush Congress Into the idea without investigation, with out looking' into the facts and without determining- whether you will deprive SS. (V people of the means of a livelihood and forte the removal of the tax." More Gap for Filibuster. Further to thwart the Democrats in their filibustering- tactics under the lead ership of Williams, the House today by a strict party vote adopted a rule giving power to the presiding- officer without rojloall to declare the Hnise in recess every day at t o'clock until the following morning at ll:. the rule to run until Monday next. The rule further provides for the consideration of the naval appro priation bill beginning Friday morning-, and that general debate on the measura shall close at 5 o'clock Saturday, unless donate shall have been exhausted before that hour, when it will be the duty of the chair to declare a recess until Mon day at 11:30 A. M. I ifl st Ye?t i g-e of Power Gone. As if to divest the Democrats of every vestige of power left to them, Dalzeil subsequently reported another rule which the Republicans put through by sheer force of numbers. The rule provided that hereafter a general appropriation bill that has been considered and amended in comm'ttee of the whole House shall be put on its passage under suspension of the rulfs. and that a majority, and not a two- thirds vote shall carry the bill through. The object of the rule Is to prevent the IVmoerats from securing roll calls on motions forcing votes on amend ments., LOOKING FXU THK JOKER Hnne Committee Will Probe Mon- dell Resolution Todn.

WASHINGTON. April S. The ground work in the case of Frederick A. Hyde. I John A. Benson. Henry D. Dimond and i Joost H. Schneider, charged with con i spiracy to defraud the United states of public land, was laid" tod;V in the Crimi T nal Court. The testimony was techni I cal in the extreme and counsel for the defense made numerous objections. Doc uments and orders from the Oenerai Land Office were identified by John 11. Kim pie, formerly Assistant Commissioner of that office, and John McPhauX a law clerk and chief of division. Mr. Fimple. now a resident of Ohio, has been tem porarily employed as a special agent in the Interior Department in this case. Mr. Fimple stated that news of the contemplated withdrawal of land for forest reserves was known to scores, if not hundreds, of people. He said while orders for the creation of the forest re serves were secret, information concern ing them leaked out. He named William N. Valk. a clerk, and Woodford Harlan, a division chief, who, he said, had been found receiving: money from outside sources In payment for information. Mr McPhatil testified that, when he took charge of Division R. after Mr. Valk had been deposed, he found many lieu land selection cases expedited out of their regular order in the names of F. A. Hyde & Co. and C. W. Clark. FEW INDEPENDENTS VOTE iContlnoefl From Flrt Pa(r,J A. Wald,o made a gallant effort to carry his Assembly district against Naval Of ficer E. J. H. Kracke. Waldo is one of the original Hughes men. and declared that Kracke and Woodruff were not loyal in their support of the Governor. Waldo was defeated, although he represents one of the most independent constituencies in Independent Brook lyn. It is now intimated that because of his action, the Congressman will be. rtlred to private Hfe. Waldo deserves credit because he waa the only man to make a fight on the Woodruff machine, which, despite whatever the primaries may say, is mighty un-popular with the voters. But in all the 23 Assembly districts, out side of Waldo's, the machine ticket was Indorsed at the polls without a mur mur. State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, the Democratic boss. aJso received a vote of confidence, despite the fact that he is openly recognized as the Albany representatlve of the Sugar Trust and Standard Oil. On the eve of election, eeven of his 23 leaders deserted him, and fights were waged on all the other remaining IS. The opposition, however, was beaten by votes of 10, 9 and 8 to 1. Independence jieasrue loses. The leaders in the movement against McCarren included Borough President Bird Coler. ex-Sheriff Flaherty, and others who had formerly been distin guished lights in the Independence league. Apparently the voters decid ed that McCarren, with all his faults, was a far better leader than the other bunch, even with all their virtues. Hughe men attacked Francis A. Hendricks, leader of Onondaga County, in his lair, Syracuse. "They lost with ease," to quote Mr. Hendricks. Murphy had no fight on his hands In Tammany, the McClellan opposition having died away. Several of the Mayor's supporters were recognized by being permitted to play second fiddle on certain delegations. But at the polls there was not even a murmur of protest. Murphy and his ally. State Chairman Conners, won handily all over the Empire State, and are in a position to issue a volume, entitled, "Who's Who Krom New York at Den ver." They have said enough to ntake it clear that the New York delegation will be unlnstructed and absolutely hostile to Bryan. The followers of the "Peerless One" were not at all in evidence at the pri maries. In fact, the only place where they made even an attempt to fight was In Oneida County, which includes the City of Utica. Some of Bryan's friends who fa vored an Instructed delegation, named tickets in all Assembly Districts, but only attracted a straggling support. Pleasing tlio Bosses. All of this was very pleasing to Mr. Murphy and Mr. Conners. They are anxious to pee a nice, harmonious con vention, with 7S submissive votes, bound and delivered to them under binding instructions. "It looks fine." said one Tammany man, who is close to Murphy. "I don't believe you will hear even one dele gate clap his hands for Bryan. And mbody will cheer unless some outsider manages to sneak Into the gallery unobserved.' The Independence League also held its primaries at the same time as the big parties, and elected a number "of delegates that are already causing trouble for William Randolph Hearst. Nobody In the inner circle of the League approves being brourht under the scope of the primary law, but they are there, and cannot help themselves. The league primaries were held in the same rooms as the Democrats. Prohibitionists and Socialists. There were no contests, and the number of votes cast ranged all the way from 1 (the figure in a larye number of dis tricts! up to the dazzling total of 22, cast on the Lower Kast Side. Roughly, there are about 15.000 vot ers enrolled under the League's em blem In Manhattan. Of these, 200 voted at the primary. In Brooklyn, 776 out of 10,000 cast their ballots.

ONE-THIRD OF SALOONS OUT Kloetion Adds to lry Connties and Closes 1100 Saloons in 886 Townships Great Majority Is AcafnM Liquor. CHICAGO. April With 37 counties of Illinois placed in the "dry column by yesterday's election, 46 of the state's 103 counties are now totally dry. Nine coun ties went dry last November. In addition 19 other counties are anti-saloon with the exception of one township in each.

The total number of "dry" townships in the state, including those which held elections last November, is now 1028, and the total of "wet" town ships is 323.

In all S4 counties held elections yesterday, and in that territory it is estimated that there are now in the neighborhood of 3000 saloons.

The City of Chicago did not vote on local option, the Anti-Saloon League be ing unable to obtain the number of peti tioners required to have the question placed upon the ballot.

Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, who ia now on his way to the battlefield of Shtloh, Tenn., where a "monument is to be dedicated to the Min nesota soldiers killed in the battle, passed through the city today. He discussed the Presidential question freely, saying: "I am a candidate for the Presidency in the sense that if I gain the nomination I shall accept it, and make every effort to be elected. I am not making ny per sonal campaign, and don't "expect to seek instructed delegates. 1 consider the am bition to be President one of the most laudable aspirations which any man can entertain." "Any insinuation or assertion," added Governor Johnson, "that my candidacy is being advanced by J. J. Hill and his in terests is absolutely false. I have fought him several times nd have never received a word of encouragement from him or any similar source." Governor Johnson said that' he did not care to discuss W. J. Bryan, and any differences in policy between him self and Mr. Bryan. "I have th highest regard, for Mr. Bryan as a man." said Governor John son, "and I admire his ability and his honesty. We are friends, so far as I know. My position is just this: '"If the members of the Democratic party feel that I would stand more chance of election than would Mr. Bry an or any other man, I would be glad to make the campaign. "If I am considered the most avail able man there will be no lack" of ap preciation on my part of the honor con ferred on me. It all depends, in my opinion, on the platform and a vigor ous campaign. As I view it, the Demo cratic party has at least an even chance to win this year." IiA FOMjETTK WIN'S OWN STATE Two Districts in Donbt, Three Dele gates Probably for Taft. M I LWAt'KI B, Wis..
