It was said yesterday, must renins that
mailer newspapers nro due.
The situation has become o serious
that a dozen different rcmedlsi have
een advocated and adopted recently.
Cutting down the slie of the paper or
the advertising Is only one of these.
Halting tho price of the newspaper and
watching to detect the smallest waste "f
paco are other devices adopted.
A. Gordon Mclntyre, a retired otflcl il
ef the Canadian I'ulp and l'ltper Asso
ciation nnd an authority In tin paper
trade, has been chosen by the Amerlcvi
Newspaper Publishers Association to
tart a new department. He will confer
with the publishers und act as tiii'ir
repretcntatlve In negotiations with the
paper manufacturers. To some uf thuya
In the newspaper publishers' ranks It
looks as though the country rinlll nnd
weeklies, which cannot or will not con
tract for their print paper In quantity,
Will be forced to suspend.
Wood I'ulp Imparts Decrease.
A significant fact Is that the Imports
f wood pulp, used In making white
paper, have dropped In the last ye'
I despite the fact that there Is a normal
Increase of f per cent. In consumption
very year.
In 19U the Imports amounted to E08,
110 tons. The next year 80.000 more
tons were brought In. This year the ton.
pace was 1,000 less than In 1914 and
1,000 less than In 1915. These figures
Were for the year ended June 30.
Not only on the other side were trade
conditions upset, but also here. As the
result of Increased wages In Canada and
other Industrial factors the mechanical
pulp that Used to come over the border
In treat quantities now dribbles through.
A despatch from Toronto contained an
Intimation by the Canadian Minister of
Finance that nn embargo on exports of
news print might be ordered If the price
i In the domestic market were found to ha
excessive. On the other sldo of the bor
'drr, as In this country, the try has been
raised that the inauuf-icturrrs have been
hoMlr.c up tho consumers, but here at
least luveht'gatlon has shown that there
la a real shortage.
I'ulillshrm Karlntr a Crisis,
It Is estimated that 1,900,000 tons of
pews print wilt have been used In this
country by December of this year. The
normal Increase of S per cent, a year
would brine the 1918 consumption to
more than 2,000,000 tons, which calls
for an additional dally production of
from 00 to Rdfi tons. Hut experts In
terested In the newspapers' side of tho
situation can only cf3 ion tons dally In
crease In 1918 over 1910. That brings
the publisher face to face with the riues
tlon of curtailing h,s consumption, prun
ing hpaco In his papur and dropping a
few pages.
The duration of the war enters Into
the problem, of course. If hostilities
cease within a year exports from Scan
dinavian countries may be resumed In
, volume and the pressure upon the pub
lishers relieved. If the war kfeps up
and the foreign supply of raw materials
la kept down then tho shortage will 1hi
greater than ever before, whether the
publisher economizes In naner or not.
The American mills are faced with
the demand for moro paper than they
can supply nt present. Wlien asked why
,they didn't foresee that more white print
would be needed the manufacturers are
wont to say that the domestic supply In
the past has been held down by Injurious
legislation.
Manufacturers Don't Explain.
On the other hand, the manufacturers

demand for their products.
While thin argument Is going on the
supply of paper Is shrinking and pub
lishers are hard put to It to find the nec
essary rolls. Tho largest annual con
sumption of news print reported to the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso
ciation Is 35,000 tons, although the fig
ure would bo higher If special Issues
nere put out.
The publisher has tried owning his
own mills, signing long term contracts
and buying for spot cash "In the
Street."
None of these methods has been en
tirely satisfactory. The publisher who
controls a mill has difficulty In getting
any emergency supply from outside be
cause he Is told others without mills
must bo protected first. Tho cash sys
tem has resulted In one of the largest
newspapers In the country buying news
print at double the rates of contract.

Most of the mill owners realize that
excessive prices will wipe out the smaller
customers by tho scoie, especially In
the rural districts, nnd they nre mod
erate In their demands, but the A, N,
P, A. official believe theie are other
manufacturers who are seeking all the

J pointed 'out that little new production
Is provided for because of the cost of

the shortage, and tho producers and
consumers will advance htmdieds of eon

nnd publishers nre cutting down their

white iirint this summer than ever be
fore. As C. V. Moore of the Book Paper
.Manufacturers Association hits pointed
out, mora paper Is being tired than ever
before. 'Die market reports Indicate also
that dealers are holding on to their
diminishing stocks of raw material, and
this does not conduce to a normal sup
ply, much less liefy to wipe out an ab
normal demand.
The selling price of wood pulp In
Canada Is 10 per cent, higher than It
was n year ago, and adding that Item
lo the larger budget caused by Increased
wanes across the border the cost of raw
materials Is worrying the manufacturers.
They ate at a loss how to make up
their contract with the larger news
papers, many of which must renew their
agreements with the mills In a couple
of months or by the first of tho year.
Advlslnar a Pro Itatn Scheme.
The manufacturers associations In this
particular trade are advising the pub
lishers to get together and adopt a pro
rata scheme. Unless all the publishers
agree to something like this there will
be trouble Jot all, say the manufacturers.
.Meanwmie witn tne domestic consum
ers paying more for their news print and
not getting enough the foreign buyers
are offering fancy prices for stocks nnd
unsettling the market. The exports have
Increased for the first seven months of
1916 In spite of the diminished supply.
It was on account of this growing
export business that Mr. Mclntyre, the
A. N. P. A. expert, counselled the manu
facturers yesterday to devote their en
tire attention to the dvniestlc situation,
look out- after old customers and build
enough new mills to cope with the nor
mal Increased demand.
Mr. Mclntyre also asserted that all
publishers should adopt the non-return-
ahle system of selling newspapers and
also should eliminate all pressroom
waste.
WOOD CHIPS FOR PAPER PULP.
Wisconsin Mills to Experiment
With Product of the West.
Wasiiinoton, Oct. 15. As the result
of studies made at the forest products
laboratory on methods of handling
wood chips sultnble for paper pulp. It
Is announced that W Isconsln pauer
companies are now negotiating with the
railroads for shipment of experimental
tralnloads of chips of Western woods
adapted to paper making.
Investigations have demonstrated
that good grades of paper can be made
from a number of Western woods. The
experts njw estimate that some of these
woods can be delivered to tne mills in
Wisconsin at a very small advance over
tho cost of chips made from local tim
ber. If a favorable freight rate can
be obtained the great quantity of pulp-
wood on the national torests anouid
prove to be a considerable factor In
supplying raw material.

The police admitted esterday that

Sixty-sixth street, on October B, and
after making themselves at home In tho

Another burirlary which Is only now
published was committed ut 48 Kant Seventy-sixth

Wolf, n broker, on September 24. A
quantity of old Jewelry of considerable
value was stolen by the Intruders, who
did about 1300 damage to the luxurious
furnishings of the house after ransack
ing It thorouKhly.
In the opinion of Detective Andrew J.
Tully of the Third Branch Detective
Rurereli. who Is working on both cases,
tho thieves In the Laldlaw case probably
were half crown boys who entered the

and forcing a door leading from the
cellar to the first floor of the five story
brownstone house. The burglars maue
themselves thoroughly at home, sleeping
on a bed and building r. Are In the

As almost all the silver and Jewels
In the house had been sent to storage
they found nothing but the spoons, but i
the Laldlaws attach considerable send-

Were Imposed.
SPEAKS AT DEDICATION
Exercises Held nt St. Hcrnnrd's
New .$200,000 Parochial
Institution.
If the municipal authorities were to
come to Cardinal Farley, so the vener
able head of the Catholic archdiocese
said yesterday In nn address at the dedi
cation of the new parochial school of Kt.
Hcrnnrd's Catholic Church In West Thir
teenth street, and offered to maintain all
the Catholic schools of tho diocese with
city money on condition religious train
ing be barred from the classrooms, tho
offer, said the Cardinal, would bo In
stantly rejected.
Cardinal Farley's strong champion
ship of Catholic belief In the need of re
ligious Instruction In the schools brought
close attention nnd etldently completo
approbation from the great crowd which
had assembled to witness the street pro
cession, the unveiling and blessing of a
statue of St. Hernnrd and the other ex
ercises which marked the dedication of
the Hev. Father Joseph F, Smith's new
1200,000 school building.
"If the children of a parish," said Car
dinal Farley to the crowd which filled
the school nudltorlum after Cardinal
Farley had blessed the statue of St.
Bernard out on the sldewaljt, "are not
taught the law of Clod, In a generation
or two tho Catholic churches will be
as deserted as tire those outside.
"And If the authorities of the city
came to me and offered to maintain all
my schools with city money on the con
ditions they would place upon them. I
would say: 'I will have none of your
money.' I would say what was said to
Judas when lie gave back the money he
received for betraying the Saviour: '(Jo
to perdition with your money I' "
There was nn echo In the Cnrdlnal's
address of the recent charities Investi
gations when he spoke of a recent "at
tack made on the administration of pub.
lie funds" In some of the Catholic Insti
tutions. Cardinal Farley said that as
n result of the charges made then, but
later dismissed by the courts, the
church here was "living under a crush.
Ing load of Injustice."
Religious training In the schools also
formed part of an address which was to
have been delivered by the Hev. Dr.
William J. Kerhy of the Catholic Uni
versity of Washington. D. C. Owing to
sudden Illness Dr. Kerby was unable to
speak. In his nbsenca the Rev. John J.
Hurke of the, Daulist Fathers read Dr.
Kerby's manuscript. In the course of
which were thoughts on the general
Idea that "there Is little hope for the
spiritual future of our children except
In the religious school."
Mgr. Joseph F. Mooney, Vlcar-flen-eral
of the diocese: Mgr. I-avelle of St.
Patrick's Cathedral, the Very Rev. Dr.
T. Q. Carroll and many other le.nl Ing
Catholic clergymen took part In the ex
ercises. The street parade was made up
of hundreds of members of the Knights
of Columbus, boys and girls of the
parochial schools carrying I'lilted States
flags, the parish liny Scout" and many
other organisations. A banquet In the
school gjmnaslum concluded the exer
cises. QUARANTINE DODGERS FINED.

lean audiences. Now ho talks nbout
"We, Us A Co." and how he has "come
back" and promises that they (tha
special Interests) will not bo nble "to
put anything over"
A month ago, two weeks ago, his
Supreme Court restraint prevented him
from alluding directly to tho President
even In the most scathing nttacks
against tr.a President's policies. Now
he slams Into Mr. Wilson regardless.
A month aro he seemed to disdain re
plying to anybody. Recently he took
large slices out of the cuticle 'of Rlchnrd
Olncy, Dr. Kllot and Vice-President
Marshall, A month ago tho public did
not clearly understand where Mr. Hughes
stood as regards several matters' Im
portant In the public mind, for example,
what his attitude would have been to
ward Germany when her U-boats with
out warning destroyed American lives,
or what he would have done about the
I.usltanla.
In the last week he has taken palna
to Instruct every mind nbout those mat
ter In Loulsvlllo he fought for three
minutes to get a chance to say that
ho would not have permitted U-boat
warfare against Americans and that
he would have broken with Clermnny If
Oermany hail rejected his warning not
to sink the I.usltanla.
Replying to HerVlers.
These are merely samples. Time and
again he lias turned on hecklers, waving
down the cheers of his sympathetic au
ditors so that the questions could be
repeated nnd distinctly understood and
so that he could reply with all emphasis.
He had the nerve In West Virginia
to tell a questioner who wanted to know
about the "Virginia debt" that the
Supreme Court had decided unanimously
that West Virginia owed a lot of money
to lrglnla nnd that It was the duty
of the questioner and ever) body else to
respect that decision.
At another place he silenced a heckler
and aroused the audience to wild cheer
ing by his reply to a "two cent fare"
question, saying he stood for vetoing
legislation enacted lefore Investluatlon.
hen they went at him with the Dan
bury hatters hand rrennde ho slammed
It right bark, saying tha. he had done
his duty In that cae nnd would do it
over again. That was In Philadelphia
and they nearly took the roof off. In
stances cfjuld be multiplied, all slgnflcant
of Hughes's determination, to make him
self clear at any rost,
Nothlnc In the wi.rld Is more certain
than that Charles H. Hughes would pre

He Is arraying to-day the same tariff
arguments, the same American rights
arguments, the same Mexican aigu-i
ments, the same Adumson bill argu
ments, the same economy and efficiency
arguments that he arrayed a month ago, I
but he Is pouring them out In a vastly
more effective style. I
Nothing much seemed to rutne nlm
them. Nothing lnteriupt.il the placldltv
of his dignified discourse. He, stood
usually In one spot upon his stage,
making few gesturos, seldom changing i
the pitch of his voice.
Now his eyes burn with earnestness. I
sometimes with anger. Perspiration rolls
down his face as he paces back and i
forth swinging his ar:.is. Ills voice, al- j
ways far carrying and penetrating even
when rasped by overwork, fairly rlanes 1
out his period" and climaxes. The effect I
of all this Is that h Is much more con- I

House."
In the fltntes recently visited there nro
Indications that Mr. Huihes's Adamson
bill arguments are withdrawing some
labor support from Mr. Wilson. In West
Virginia, Missouri nnd In this State rail
road men have come to him with nnsur
ances of support, saying In effect thit
they took what they could get from Mr.
Wilson, but that they believed the pro
cedure used was un-Anierlran nnd dan
gerous to the Interests of labor In gen
eral. StruRule for l.abnr Vote.
This occurred In Sprlngtleld, Mo.: In
Huntington, W, Vn and here In Lin
coln, where a Burlington engineer led a
company of engineers at the head of tho
Hughes street parade. The labor vote
as a result of the Adamon art has been
worrying the Republican managers
pretty much all oer the country, but
Mr. Hughes has had time to explain to
labor that the bill Is a fake eight hour
1.1 1 1 n law flint rftfflS lhn wnffCS Of a
few to the neglect of the many, that the
public must pay the cost and that tho
surrender of arbitration Is really a sur
render of labor's greatest victory.
Just how far these arguments will go
nobody ran tell fur certain. The point
Is that an iipparent tendency on the part
of labor to support Mr. Wilson on ac
count of tho Adamson bill has been
checked. Naturally It Is said every
where that tho farmers, small mer
chants, clerks nnd so on lire all the
more friendly to Mr. Hughes because of
the Adamson bill.
Every Slate Sir. Hughes has visited
In the last week. West Virginia, Mary
land, Kentucky, Missouri and Nebraska,
gives Indicat on that the raco Is close.
Kverywhere there Is a "silent vote" that
disturbs both sides. It seems to he a
Just conclusion that Mr. Hughes has nn
excellent chance to carry West Virginia
and Missouri, that he has a fair chance
to win Kentucky and that Nebraska and
Maryland appear for the present to lean
Wllsonward.
In Kentucky nnd Wft Virginia the
managers are praying for means to "net
out" the mountain vote. If they can
have money enough to haul the moun
taineers and back farmers to polling
places from long distances, especially If
It rains on election day. they say that
Republican majorities arc certain.
Missouri's Attitude.
Missouri looks especially good from
tne lluvhcs standpoint. Herman-Americans
are for Hughes en masse nnd are
working strenuously. Homecoming mili
tiamen have spread a dislike for Wll.
sonlsin among Democratic families.
Railroad clerks are aggrieved over the
special favoritism In the Adamson law.
Tho mining districts want protection, for
line especially. The farmers arc down
on special legislation for which they will
have to pay and they lean to the old
tariff Ideas. These arc n few of the
factors in Missouri and It may be said
that the recent revelations regarding
Senator Stone's secret wooing of the
Herman ote has had an effect.
In Nebraska tho Democrats are pre
dicting a Wilson majority of 20,000. The
Republicans give no figures. They
simply say Hughes will carry the State.
The truth sem to be, as matters stand,
that Nebraska Is the ery heart and
centre of Bryanlstlc pacifism, for which
Mr. Wilson "lands. The President him
self wn here two weeks ago und got a
great r-ieptlon. Vice-President Marshall
has Ib-i n cjiecrcd for asserting that a
vote for Hughes meant a vote for war
Bali liridge Colby has been around

Thcie Is a lot of guesswork nbout the
whole situation. All reports received
hero from Kims- and Iowa make It
seem that tpc States nro safely Re
publican. Alvln T. Hert, Western mali
nger of the Republican campaign, as
serts that Mr. Hughes will have a ma
jority of 100 votes In the electornl col
lege, but he refrains from specifying the
States that are expected to roll up the
majority.
Mr. Hughes will leave this city at 7
o'clock to-morrow morning for another
day's campaigning In Nebraska. He
will make five speeches, concluding the
day In Omaha. On Tuesday he will
swing Into South Dakota, will visit
Michigan on Wednesday ami Thursday
