Tn(rr of Driving Paper Industry to

lIn1ncr for Votes Vew
Curb on Filibusters.
WASfTINYTTOX. April $. 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

LAND SECRETS LEAKED OUT

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

Roughly, there are about 15.000 vot
ers enrolled under the League's em

ONE-THIRD OF SALOONS OUT
Kloetion Adds to lry Connties

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.
According to the latest returns SS6
townships cast their vote against saloons
and S(H townships in favor of retaining
the saloon. 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.
The mc5t reliable est1 mates place the
number of saloons voted out of business
yesterday at 1100, and the net anti-saloon
majority cast in the entire territory vot
ing: at 2S.OO0. 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 result
of the election, therefore, will compel
more than one-third of this number of
saloons to go out of business within 30
days.
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.
JOHNSON'S MOOD RECEPTIVE
Minnesota Man Would Accept Nomi
nation Not Backed by Hill.
CHICAGO, April 8. 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."

Senator R. M. La Pollette for the Presi
dential nomination at the Republican Na
tional Convention were elected at yester

LISBON. April 8. The sttuatlon In Lis
bon has improved. The city today Is
calmer and this morning the chops re
opened. Lisbon Is under martial law. and
with the arrival of reinforcements the
military government is In absolute control
of the city. The Republican leaders dis
claim any responsibility for the disorders
and bloodshed of Sunday and Monday.
The general opinion is that the Royal
ists have gained a sweeping victory at
the polls. Irrespective of how this was
attained, it greatly strengthens the throne
and affords an opportunity for the reha
bilitation of the monarchy.
The patriarch of Lisbon has forbidden
the celebration of mass in the churches
of St. Dominique, Alcantara and Santos.
The elections were held In these buildings
and they were the scenes of rioting and
conflict; consequently the patriarch holds
that they have been desecrated.
