F0RAKER ASKS QUESTION Has Bonaparte Agreed Xot to En force Commodity Clause of Rate Law Roosevelt Still Thinks Xegro Soldiers Are Guilty. WASHINGTON. May 6. The Senate today passed a bill prohibiting the employment, within certain hours, of children under 14 years of age in the XMNtrict of Columbia, in any factory, workshop, telegraph office, restaurant, hotel, apartment house, saloon, pool or billiard-room, bowlinsr alley, or' tn transportation or distribution or trans mission of merchandise or messages. No such child is permitted to work at any employment for wages during school hours, nor before 6 A. M., nor after 7 P. M. Chairman Dolliver. of the committee on education and labor, in reporting the bill, said it was free from any con stitutional objection tnat might be used anainst the Beverldge bill, which pro vides for a National labor law. Why Xot Enforce Clause? The Senate also adopted a resolution offered by Foraker, of Ohio, directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to inform the Senate whether the com modity clause of the Interstate com merce act had been complied with since May 1', 1908, and. if not, whether the non-compliance by the railroads has ben due to any agreement, ar rangement . or understanding: between the railroad' companies and the au thorities. An amendment by Culber son, agreed to. also called on the com mission to state its reasons for recom mending an extension of two years In the time given the railroads to comply with the commodity clause. The conference report on the army appropriation bill, carrying an aggre gate of $05,377,246. was adopted. This amount was $3,463,000 than the bill carried when first passed by the Senate. Still Thinks Negroes Guilty. Warner, of Missouri, concluded his speech on the Brownsville affair, his closing remark calling forth a state ment from Foraker, that a Western paper had announced that the PresU dent recently wrote to Smith, of Mich igan, to the efTect that he had not changed his mind as to the guilt of the negro soldiers of .the Twenty-fifth Regiment. ' Foraker suggested that the introduction of that letter in the record would be interesting, but Smith said he had not made it public and could not do so. Smith did not deny the receipt of the letter, but declined to make its con tents public. He said, if anyone should do so, the President himself should give it out- INCREASE PAY IX THE ARMY Bill Now Gives $500 Flat Raise to Officers. WASHINGTON, May ' 6. Senator War ren today reported to the Senate a com plete agreement of the conferees on the Army appropriation bill, and it was adopted. It makes a flat increase of $500 a year in the pay of officers and of 35 per cent In the pay of enlisted men in the Army. The bill as originally agreed to carries $95,382,246. The additional appro priations made by the Senate for supplies and incidental expenses for the Quarter master's Department, construction of bar racks and quarters for the Held artillery, for the organized militia, manufacture of arms and other items' were scaled down and 13,463,162 eliminated from the bill. Four More Revenue Cotters. WASHINGTON. May 6. The House committee on Interstate and foreign commerce today reported favorably a resolution authorizing the construc tion of four revenue cutters at a cost not exceeding $925,000, for service in the waters of Key West. Florida, the Pacific Coast. Lake Superior and Nar ragansett Bay. The bill provides $250,000 for cutters for the Pacific Coast. CANTEEN BILL TURNED DOWN House Treated to Speech by Crank in the Gallery. WASHINGTON. May 6. By the overwhelming vote, of 167 to 46, and after a two hours' debate, the House today again went on record against re-establishment of the canteen in the National soldiers' homes. In the course of the discussion a man, giving his name as George F. Gridley, of Provi dence, R. I., unfurled an American flag and proceeded to :make an address from the gallery on the abstinence question. He was promptly taken out. Perhaps the real sensation of the day was an admission by Bennett, of New York, a member of the immigra tion committee, that he had, under the old immigration law, "railroaded" the naturalization of many foreigners in one day. ' With the exception of the adoption of the conference report on the bill re-organizing; the Consular service, on which the Democrats forced two roll calls, the sundry civil appropriation bill was under consideration the entire day. Little progress was made to wards its completion. Veteran of Indian Wars Dying:.' BILLINGS, Mont., May 6.

S LULLED TO REPOSE How Paper Trust Quieted Pub lishers' Alarm. ITS PROMISES NOT KEPT Told Them It Would Do Them Good, but Only Good AVas in Advance In Prices Story of Kan sas Pnblisher. WASHINGTON, May 6. The publishers of newspapers appeared today before the House committee Investigating the wood pulp and print paper question. Frank P. MacLennan, publisher of the Daily State Journal, of Toprka, Kan., stated that, when the combination of papermakers was formed, the publishers were told not to get excited, as it would result in their benefit in the end. His contract for paper at that time, he said, was $1.34 per hundred pounds at the mill. This contract, he said, ran from Sep tember. 1897, to September, 1898. When the contract exDired he was unable to renew it at that price. The best figure he could get in making a new contract was $1.85 at the mills. On that and pre ceding contracts he had been allowed 3 per cent discount for cash, but during the last five years the prices have been net. Mr. MacLennan told of his difficulty in securing new contracts and submitted to the committee figures which were furnished to Representative Calderhead, of Kansas, a member of the ways and means committee, by Frank Gilbert, president of the Frank Gilbert Paper Company at Waterford, N. Y and also a stockholder in the International Paper Company. These figures, Mr. MacLennan said, as tonished him because of their incorrect ness. According to them the selling price of newspaper in 1WI7 was $2.34. Mr. MacLennan said that in that year he was paying $1.34 at the mill. In reply to questions by Mr. Miller, Mr. MacLennan said his paper was Re publican in politics and he thought 'the passage of the Stevens bill removing the duty on wood pulp and print paper would benefit the whole country, including .the publishers.
