4 TTTE MOHNIXO OKECTSIAS, TVfcSiJivr, APRIL .28, 1908. REVEALS METHODS OF PAPER TRUST John Norris, of Newspaper Publishers' Association, Gives Testimony. COMBINE RAISES PRICES Witness rays Before House Com mittee Facts Showing Arbitrary JncreafO According to Mutual Agreement of 1906. WASHINGTON. April 27. Evidence tending to show that there has been unity of action amonf? paper mills iij. the mat ter of tixitiR the price of paper, aa well as an understanding that none of them ahall sell to the customer of another: that i-ontrHcta for papt-r could not be obtained for a longer period than one year and that the mills had arbitrarily shut down or restricted their output, was presented today by John Norris. of the paper com mittee of the American Newspaper Pub lishers Association, before the select 31ouse commit tee- which id Investigating the (price of print paper as affected by the tariff, and the question as to whether or not there is a combination in restraint of trade. Mr. Norris was the only witness and was on the stand the entire day. The hearing was abruptly ended shortly be fore 5 o'clork by a call from the House. At the outset. Chairman Mann an nounced the receipt of a letter from Pres ident Burbank, of the International Paper Company. expressing his complete itillliiKnes. to send to Washington "suitable officials with full information regarding the affairs of his company, as you will be able to wish." With the consent of the committee. Chairman Mann replied by telegraph, unying the committee wouM be glad to have any officials or interested persons at the hearing, and that the committee was iltsirons of obtaining the fullest in formation possible. Keeps lousiness Secret. Mr. Norris asked to be relieved from exhihitmg the confidential paper arrange ment of the New York Times, by which that paper enjoyed a rate of $18 per ton, suggested that perhaps the Informa tion might be obtained from the Inter national Pa,er Company. As bearing on the determination of the papermakcrs to raise prices, Mr. Js'ori is read a number of statements made at the meeting: of the publishers in September, 1907. One of these was made by General Felix Angus, of the Baltimore American, who said that, while he had at one time enjoyed fa vorable paper contracts, ho had been foreed to Tny $2.r0 per 100. "That was blood money," General Angus was quoted as saying. Another statement was made by Ed itor Haines, of the Patterson News, who an id, that a director of the Inter aiatlonal Paper Company, "after he had n few drinks in him." said they were yrolng; to check up the price of paper to S3 a hundrod. Still another statement by the husi-nf-so manager of the New York Journal tf Commerce was read. It spoke of the several Increases In the price of japer until after the expiration of an existing; contract the price was run up to Il'.r.o. The price was objected to, and although efforts were made to fret bids from other manufacturers. It was Impossible, and a contract finally was made at 12.47 for one year. JJst of 20 2 Victims. Mr. Norris submitted to the com mittee a list of 202 newspapers to wham the price of paper had been raised, according; to a report made to him. The list showed that these in creases ranyrcd from $2 to $11 a ton In the last two years. Asked by Mr. Mann if he know how much print pa per Is used annually by these 202 pa pers. Mr. Norris said he had not the slightest idea. For the most part these papers were published In the smaller cities. It was not altogether accurate, eaid Mr. Norris, to state as a rule that a large number of newspapers have been- able to buy their paper supply at less coat than the small papers, because the small paper could got the net benetlt of competition between 30 or 40 small mills, while in the i-ase of the big papers this competition was restricted by the smallnes of the number of mills capable of manufacturing In Individual quantities sumcient to sup ply the large users. Mr. Norris said the average of increase In price to the 203 listed publications was substantially $9.50 b ton In the last two years. Mr. Stafford objected that the striking tt auch an average was "not a fair epitome of the list.' Inasmuch as the list ahowed for the most part that the in crease to small papers was much larger than the Increase to the big papers. Their Avowed Purpose. Asked by Mr. Mann to explain the vari ation between $- and $17 a ton, Mr. Nor ris said that it was In furtherance of a determination that there was to be es Hblished a uniform raise In price to $2.50 per hundred. That, he said, waa the vowed purpose in 1S". when the paper manufacturers appeared before the Ding Jey committee. Mr. Norris insisted that the paper companies were attempting to establish a uniform price for everybody on the basis of $2.50, and that during the past year many contracts had been read justed at prices up to $2.20, because, he ald, two years ago they made five year contracts with Pittwburg, Buffalo and Chicago papers, whereby, at the end of one or two years, there would be a readjustment of the prices. "The readjustment," he asserted, "has taken place." Maim Wants lroof. "If," said Mr. Mann, "you desire us to believe that these increases were for the purpose of equalising prices or rais ing" prices to a certain figure, you owe it to us to present some testimony on that subject," Mr. Norris readily responded, that he would do so, and remarked thaf Chair man Mann was anticipating what was coming in that direction. After a conference with Meditl Mc Cormick, Mr. Mann designated Thurs day for a hearing of individual pub lishers. DISLIKE SANTA BARBARA (Continued From First Pape.) an hour, the invading force of equip ages which ran the long gauntlet of tribunes, finally escaping badly battered by the concentrated tire of the land bat teries. The parade attracted a countless an u Kit ude to the sea shore. Alt of the tribunes were crowded to their utmost capacity when, shortly be fore 3 o'clock, Rear-Admiral Charles M. Thomas, the guest of honor, was whirled la a xose-covared coach from the landing wharf at the foot of State street to the central booth on the Plaxa. The coach was drawn by four snow-white horses, and in advance there were six out-riders, white mounted and costumed in Spanish fashion. Behind the coach was an escort of honor, composed of forest rangers in from the mountains. The progress of the coarh waa heralded with enthusiastic cheering. Roar-Admirals 6 perry and Emory and members of their staffs, came In a sec ond equipage, whose structural Jines were completely hidden in a wealth of purple sweet peas. They, too, were cheered most heartily. The coach which had taken Admiral Thomas to the official tribune, where he was greeted by Mayor iBoesek and by Rear-Admiral Bowman H. McCall, chairman of the local re ception committee, returned immediately to the parade rendezvous and became the royal equipage of the flower queen. Twelve hundred sailors, in Immaculate white duck uniforms and cape, were land ed from the 16 ships, and with a red coated marine band at their head, formed the first feature of the parade. They were, divided into 16 companies and had been met upon arrival by a committee which decorated their small caliber rifles with a variety of blooms. Following the sailors, came mounted bodies of horsemen with steads gaily caparisoned, forest rangers in green uni form and carrying mountain flora, auto mobiles, phaetons and floats. Just in ad vance of the flowered vehicles, 30 little girls, in Spanish costume, strewed con fetti of flower petals along the boulevard. The striking features of the parade were many. The old mission float was accompanied on either side by Franciscan brothers from the mission, who chanted in co nance with the. tolling chimes. An old stage coach, decorated with wild mus tard, and the floral battleship mounted on an automobile, attracted widest at tention. Just as the reviewing stand was passed, a dovecote was opened and a score of homing pigeons, bearing ribbons, were released. The float was drawn by mules and followed by a number of sheep, goats and monkeys. WILL COVER 4:i,500 MILES Fleet's Long Tour Before It Gets Back to Hampton Roads. "WASHINGTON, April 27.

Howe, As The aches and pains of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may be Scattered or relieved with liniments, plasters, blisters, etc., or quieted with opiates. As soon, however, as the treatment is left off or there is any exposure to dampness or cold, or an attack of indigestion, or other physical irregularity, the aggravating pains, swollen joints and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remained in the blood. Rheumatism is due to a too acid condition of the blood, brought on by indigestion, chronic constipation, weak kidneys, and a general sluggish condition of the system. This acid circulating in the blood produces the pains, aches, and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S. S., a purely 'vegetable remedy, cures Rheumatism by going down into the circulation and driving out the cause and making this life-stream pure, rich and healthy. When the blood has been cleansed of the irritating, pain-producing acids by S. S. S., the pains and aches cease, the muscles become soft and pliable, the health is built up, and Rheumatism completely and permanently cured.
