Waehlngton, Nov. 8.—A recommen datlor. to congress by President Roose velt In his next message that the tariff on press paper, wood pulp and the wood that Is used In the manufacture of this paper be abolished, was Indicated by the president yesterday, when the paper committee of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association called at the White House. The call was made In pursuance to a resolution adopted by the Newspaper Publishers' Association last September. The resolutions asked for the abolition of the tariff In view of the monopoly that had grown so as to absolutely con. trot the sale of this product. Medlll McCormick, of Chicago, pre sented the facts to the president. It Is understood that a probe Into the paper trust has been In progress for some time by the department of Justice It Is also understood that the’president will call for the facts obtained to date that he may make a comprehensive state ment to congress. The ’’Conspiracy.’’ The president's attention was called to what was termed the "conspiracy'' by which It was alleged that the makers of new:* print paper "hove arranged for an advance of til por ton upon the eup-. Illy of that article for the-current year, and tor an additional advance next year, averaging 810 per ton. This. It was explained, inenns a burden Imposed on the printing industry of the country Tit JIO.OOO.OOO fbr the present, and 818,- tiOO.OOir for the coming year. The excuse for these advances on the part of the paper-mnkers Is the cost of wood and labor have Increased. This excuse was met In the argument to the president by the statement that the published re port of the largest manufacturer of news print paper gives the Increased coet of material and manufacture. In cluding the expense of administration and sales, as about 84 cents per ton. Caused Paper Famine. The noxt step, the president was told, has Just been consummated by the creation of n combination to exhaust the surplus stock of paper, to cause a paper famine, and to raise pflces. The president was further informed that after the disbandment, by order of the court, of the General Paper Company, varloua meetings of Eaatern and Western manufacturers have been held to stimulate prices and to limit the contract period. A conference of Eastern manufacturers was held In New York during the first week of Sep tember, lest, when the last advance In prices was decided upon. Withdraw Quotations. Since that tlma manufacturers who had previously solicited the business of various newspapers have withdrawn all quotations. Publishers who apply for quotations realise that In some way their supply has been predetermined, and the pries they are to pay also ar ranged for them, in each case, the statement adds, the manufacturers all make bide, but they are at a prohibito ry price. bins us mra chits TEN III SENT TO DOOM BY Two Cars Powder Ex- piods Near Necozari, Arizona.

Senator Carmack talked Interestingly to The Georgian Friday morning at ths Piedmont on various topics of national Interest, and especially Interesting were his views on the political question. And according to these views, the sweep of prohibition Is going to con tinue until It finishes conquering the South and It will then continue going some. Hut on the contrary, Senator Carmack doesn’t think Lieutenant Gov ernor Lewis stuyveannt Chanter's boom l« going to tnke that direction. "Chanler?” he asked when that New Yorker's name was mentioned. "Well. I might repeat what the fellow said of the gome of keno—that one man said 'keno' and the others sold, 'Oh, hell.' I don't think the boom will get much of a start outride of New York ntfttA "Bryan ia All Right” But with Bryan. Senator Carmack thought the case was different. He de clared Bryan waa all right, and that he would continue to go some. President Roosevelt’s methods of do ing things were Interesting to the gift ed Tennessean, and he smiled as he talked of some of them. "Yes, 1 believe he would have been a yellow Journalist If lie hod been a newspaper man.” he said. “He Is al ways getting up a new scheme to keep In the limelight and to keep big heada on the front page about him. But yel low Journalism seems to be popular.” Slnre bin defeat for re-election to the senate by Governor Bob Taylor.

"Things look very well at this time,” he said, "and I think everythlng'a com ing my way. Yea, the prohibition ques tion will probably enter largely Into the campaign In' my state. The senti ment Is growing every day, not only In Tennessee, but In other stales. We have ubollshed liquor over there, except in a few. places, but the change has been wrought without any hysterical meth ods. It has been a light agulnst whisky selling rather than against whisky drinking. It has been a fight against the saloon." The recent financial flurry In Wall street and other atreets Is not worrying the eloquent ex-aenator. "Things will subBlde,” he said. "This has been caused by the great prosperity and the abnormal Inflation of values. Hut If they let the wind out gradually things will get back In their natural shape.” Senator Carmack bellevea the rail- Thursday afternoon. Her husband is far away'in the Philippines. Mrs. Mary Ambrose Found Dead on Floor, Fully Dressed, After Premoni tion. Arrives in Time For Distribution of $10,000,000. With a strange premonition that death waa near and of which ihe had spoken to her neighbors during ths past week, Mrs. Mary E. Ambrose, 65 years of age, Wednesday morning aat at an organ In her home at Fort McPherson and played and sang the old familiar hymn, “Jesus Is Calling Today.' Thursday afternoon, thirty-six hours afterward, her dead body, lying on- the floor beside 'the bed In a pool of blood, was found by Mrs. George Oertel, friend and neighbor. Investigation showed that Mrs. Ambrose, who lived alone In a little cottage at the corner of Jacons and Jonesboro drives, had died suddenly of a hemorrhage. It Is supposed she was stricken shortly after singing the hymn, or possibly while still at the organ, us she had not been seen about the house after neighbors heard her organ and the Impressive words of the old hymn. When nothing hud been seen or heard of the aged woman up to Thurs day afternoon, her neighbors became alarmed and Mrs. Oertel decided to In vestigate. Going to the rear door of the little cottage, xvhlch sho found slightly ajar, Mrs. Oertel peered inside hnd was shocked to discover the boffy of Mrs. Ambrose, fully dressed, lying on the floor In blood. The alarm was quickly sounded and Marshal Ed Ryan notified, It being feared at first the woman might have been murdered. Coroner Thompson was also notified. The coroner later held an Inquest, the Jury finding that death was due to natural causes. Mrs. Ambrose had felt for several roads responsible for the wave of anti- |flaVlIw th?« rime hlul fr»ouentlv*»l h railroad legislation that ha* been I YjY" sweeping the country. He said thw t ,R?22» a SJlTSn!?" f nil Ipwi.iaiion .... mil .that she would live but a short time. have fought all legislation ever put through congress and he blamed them for meddling with political affairs In the nation, state, county and city. He declared the people were tired or It and that the present condition of affairs would not have resulted If the railroads had not rought fair and equitable reg ulation.

Mrs. Ambrose made her own burial clothes, which were found among her. possessions. In these garments. laid beneath the sod. The latter purt of last week Mrs. Oertel begged Mrs. Ambrose to quit her life of solitude and move Into the house with her. To this Invitation, the aged woman responded: "No; I will remain here alone. The Lord Is with me. I have but a short time more to live anyway.” Shortly after this, while talking to Mrs. Oertel, a funeral procession passed the house, headed by a white hearse. This ut once attracted the attention of Mrs. Ambrose, and she stated that when she died she wanted to be burled In a white shroud. In a white coffin, and wanted a white hearse to convey her body to its last resting place. Ho persistent was Mrs. Ambrose In her belief that she was soon to die, that Mis. Lillie Boss, a daughter of Mrs. Oertel, asked her If she wanted her husband notified when she died. “lie will know when I die. He will be sufficiently warned." was the strange reply. Her husband. Charles Ambrose, a re tired commissary sergeant of the Unit ed States army. Is supposed to be in the government service somewhere In the Philippine Islands. He left Fort McPherson five years ago am) for the pust two years his wife has heard nothing from him. He had ceased writing to her, but neighbors state that the wife never once censured him. A peculiar circumstance In connec tion with the tragic death Is the fact thut only a few days ago, notwithstand ing she had received no word from hef husband for two years, Mrs. Ambrose mailed a package to him In the Philip pines. What this package contained Is a mystery, but It Is believed the woman felt so strongly the presence of death i that she sent to her husband some artl- artlcle* of value she desired him to have after she had passed away. The body was taken In charge by Harry O. Poole A Co., undertakers, and prepared by her own hands, she will be prepared for burial.

Carmack at the Kaptixt Tabernacle Friday night, when he deliver* hie lecture for the bene- flt of the Police Relief Association. Than Henator Carmack there Is no more eloquent or forceful speaker In the country today, and a rare treat Is In store for the hundreds who have never heard him.’ * He cornea to aid a most worthy cause, the fund for paying elck and death benefits to Atlanta’s guardians of the peace. The advance sale of tickets ha* been very heavy, and the Tabernacle will probably contain a great audience. Rcnator Carmack will be Introduced by Hon. John Temple Graves, and a number of prominent men will be on. the stage. The distinguished visi tor will be the guest of Chief Jennings and Mr. Graves while here, and will be entertained at the Piedmont. New York. Nov. 8.—With 81U.OOO.OOO of gold tucked away In her hold, the richest rargo of money that haa ever crossed the Atlantic on one ship and a new trans-Atlantic record written In her log. the big Cunard turblner Lust, tunla steamed from quarantine this morning and pushed up the bay to her pier. The money on the ehlp had come In time to be distributed today among the banks, so badly In need of cash. When the veseel nosed her way Into her pter wagons were there for the yellow metal and there were men to unload It and others to guard It as It was sent away for distribution. Along the river front crowds were gathered and as the vessel came cloee she was greeted with cheers. The westbound trip had been made In four days, nineteen hours and ten I minutes, approximately. Her hourly average haa been a little better Qian 24 knots. Her former trip, completed on October 11, was made In four days, nineteen hours and fifty-two minutes. The best day's run waa 61? knots. Banking Conditions Normal. An almost normal condition has been restored on the financial market here, and bankers In general feel that con fidence ha* been completely restored. The actions of the London banka In raising their discount rates are re garded ns an Indication of the ability nt New York to command gold, and the efforts of the European banks to protect themselves against this de mand. Europe's new discounts, how ever, are regarded as Insufficient to prevent the further Importation of gold Into this country, In view of ths large credits which are being created by the shipment of wheat and cotton. High Rates Ineffective, The high rate fixed by Ihe English bank Is not expected to entirely arrest exports from London to New York, but In counted on In London to equalise the distribution-of the yellow metal among European money centers, so oa to offset losses to America by Imports of gold from other places. The fact that the Rank of France hod advanced Its rote, although to only 4 per cent. Is considered a recognition of the severity of the pressure upon the bank’s great gold resources.

' men high In the financial world In that city are about to feel the strong hand of the law upon them, according to In formation obtained at'the treasury de partment today. Criminal prosecutions are soon to be instituted. The offenses for which the prosecu tions will be started. It Is said, are false reports to the comptroller of the cur rency. Although the officials of the treasury department are reticent on the subject, the most reliable Information Is that these false reports described the outstanding loans of certain banking Institutions. AU evidence has been se cured. 4 While the inspection of the Georgia railroad by an expert, supplemented by a partial inspection by Commis sioners Hill and HUlyer, showed that the road bed was not actually danger ous now, the commission Friday or dered that the management within ten days make the needed repairs.« The report of the expert, as announc ed In The Georgian a day or so ago. haa ix t-ri flnallj complHted and was placed In the hfinds of Governor Smith Friday morning. It may be stated in this con nection that this Inspection does not end with the Georgia road. In fact, a report on the physical condition of an ther line Is now In the hands of the commission, but Just what road could not be ascertains!.

They found that report substantially correct In every particular, the bluest point at difference being in the percentages of rotten ties.
