PAGE EIGHT. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON. FRTDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1919. HEWSPAPERS ASKED TO CUT 10 PERCENT PAPER CONSUMPTION Washington, Dec. 18. An appeal to new-anaDer Dtibliahers to reduce dur ing the next six months their consump tion of news print paper 10 per cent was issued today by Representative Steenerson, chairman of the house ostoffice committee, on behalf of the committee. " This appeal is expected to take the place of legislation by the committee forcing the reduced use, of print paper by refusing second-class mailing priv ileges to newspapers exceeding a fix ed weight. Such legislation was pro- vided in a bill introduced by Represen tative Anthony of 'Kansas and on which the postofflce committee has held hearings. Such action is necessary to prevent "destruction 'of a large number of newspapers in the smaller towns and cities and inflict irreparable injury on the communities served by them," the comtnittee declared. The appeal is the result of promises by leading publishers of the country. made at a hearing Monday, that with some action by congress the paper shortage could be relieved voluntarily by the papers themselves. The committee for the present, Chairman Steenerson, will npt considel the bill of Representative Anthony, to exclude bulky newspapers and publi cations from the mails, but is ready to clamp down with restrictive laws if conservation is not accomplished voluntarily. kiIm,I II-.

Mr. and Mrs. Dimick are the parents of a baby son. The parents of Mrs. Sam Thomas arrived from Montana last Wednesday for a visit with their daughter.

Mr. Ensley and family were out last Wednesday for the first time in sev eral weeks. The taking down of the scarlet fever flag was to them like opening the doors of a prison.

Despite Mexico's uncompromising attitude in refusing to dismiss the charges against W. O. Jenikns, American consular agent, It was evident today that the state department intended to let the diplomatic correspondence in his case lapse and the "crisis" die a qulot death. This, it was believed, was duo en. tlrely to President Wilson taking a strong hand in the matter and ton ing down the belligerent attitude this government assumed, while Secretary Jnalng was managing the negotia tions for Jenkins' release. Mexico's an swer was to. obtain Jenkins' relenso on bull, thuB beclouding the issue, in the opiViton of the United States and then to Bond a very polite note saying there couldn't be any crisis now that ho was out of Jail, but that ho must be prosecuted in the Mexican courts on a charge of conspiring with bandits, dpspite Lansing's demands. to the courtroom Judge Craig's statement ed by the fact that about one-third of the crowds of spectators who have thronged to the court house have been sins unaer zu years of age.
