trust is NOW
UNDER PROBE
President Indicated He
Would Recommend Tar
iff Be Taken Off.
Washington, Nov. 8.—A recommen
dation 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
Publlahera' Association last September.
The resolutions asked for the abolition
of the tariff In view of the monopoly
that had grown so as to abaolutely con.
trol the sale of this product.
Medlll McCormick, of Chicago, i
sented the facts to the president. I
understood that a probe into the paper
trust has been In progress for some
lime 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
t,. Vhat was termed the "conspiracy"
by which It was alleged that the makers
of nows print paper have arranged for
an advance of 813 per ton upon the sup-
ply of that article for the current yenr,
end for an additional advance next
year, averaging 810 per ton. This, It
was explained, means a burden Imposed
on the printing Industry of the country
of $10,000,000 for the present, and 818,-
MO.OOO for the coming year. The excuse
for these advances on the part of tha
paper-makers 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 gtvea the Increased
cost of material and manufacture. In
cluding the expense of administration
and sales, as about 64 cent* per ton.
Caused Paper Famine.
The next step, the president was told.,
has just been consummated by the
creation of a combination to exhauat
the surplua stock of paper, to cause a
paper famine, and to raise prices.
The president was further informed
that after the disbandment, by order
of the court, of the General Paper
Company, vartoua meetings of Eastern
end Western manufacturer* 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.
Withdrew Quotations.
Since that time manufacturers who
bed previously solicited the buslnes* of
verlous newspapers have withdrawn
all quotations. Publishers who apply
for quotations realize that In some way
their supply has been predetermined,
end the price they are to pay aleo ar
ranged for them. In each case, ‘he
statement adds, the manufacturers all
make bids, but they are-at a prohibito
ry price.
WEST POINT EARNS
MOREATTWOCENTS
Report Shows Increase in
Spite of Reduced
Rate.
Under a 8-cant passenger rate the
Atlanta and West Point railroad, ac
cording to tha report filed with the
railroad commission for the month of
September past, earned 88.000 more
■ hen for the corresponding month last
year, when the rate was 1 cents.
No abnormal condition of passenger
traffic Is noted, and the heavy
increaaed earning In the passen
ger department may be taken as
an Index of Increaaed business un
der lower rates. Apparently any plea
of confiscation hers would not stand
the test.

HAVE BEEN YELLOW
IF A JOURNALIST
Senator Edward W. Car
mack Talks of Politics
and Prohibition.
"It President Roosevelt had been a
newspaper man he would have been a
yellow Journalist. But yellow Journal
ism seems to be popular nowadays."
That was one of the remarks of ex-
Senator Edward W. Carmack, of Ten
nessee, who lectures Friday night for
the benefit of the police relief fund.
Senator Carmack talked Interestingly
to The Georgian Friday morning at the
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. But on the contrary. Senator
Carmack doesn't think Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter's boom
Is going to take that direction.
"ChanlerT" he naked when that New
Yorker's name was mentioned. "Well. I
might repeat what the fellow said of
the game of keno—that one man said
'keno' and the others said. 'Oh, hell.’
1 don't think the boom will get much of
a start outside of New York state."
"Bryan is All Right.”
But with Bryan, Senator Carmack
thought the case was different. He de
clared Bryan was 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 he had been
newspaper man," he said. “He Is al
ways getting up a new sc*- me to keep
In the limelight and to keep big heads
on the front page about him. But ye|.
low Journalism seems lo be popular."
Since his defeat for re-election to the
senate by Governor Bob Taylor, Sena
tor Carmack haa entered the race for
governor of hla etate and he was all
smllea when asked concerning the situ
ation In Tennessee.
Prohibition In Tonnossoo.
"Things look very well st this time."
he said, "and I think everything's com
Ing my way. Yes, the prohibition quss.
tlon will probably enter largely Into
the campaign in my state. The eentl-
ment Is growing every day. not only In
Tennessee, but In other states. We have
abolished liquor over there, except In a
few places, but the change haa been
wrought without any hysterical meth
ods. It has been a fight against 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 la not worrying
the eloquent ex-aenator.
"Things will subside,” he said. “This
has been cauaed by the great prosperity
and the abnormal Inflation of values.
But If they let the wind out gradually
things will get back In their natural
shape."
Senator Carmack believes the rail
roads responsible for the wave of antl-
rallroad legislation that haa been
sweeping the country. He said they
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 of It end
that the present condition of affairs
would not have rrsulted If the railroads
had not fought fair and equitable reg
ulation.

PRINCETON HOLDS
FIRST REGATTA
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 8.—The first
rowing regatta In the history of Prince
ton was held this afternoon on Carne
gie lake. Not since 1884 has a four-
oared crew been officially recognised
In Princeton. The weather conditions
were fine, considering the season.
Hardly a ripple broke the smooth
surface of the water before the four
shells were launched upon Its surface.
Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie and friends
followed the race by way of the canal
In the Pennsylvania tug boat Relief.
The canal runa the entire length of
the lake and Is separated from It only
by a narrow path. It must have made

SHE KNEW DEATH WAS NEAR
AND PREPARED TO MEET IT:
VOICE LAST HEARD IN HY11 N
M
CHARLES AMBROSE. * MR8. MARY E. AMBROSE.
Mrs. Ambrose was found dead in her homo near Fort McPherson
Thursday afternoon. Her husband is far away in the Philippines.
Mrs. Mary Ambrose Found Dead on Floor,
Fully Dressed, After Premoni
tion.
With a strange premonition that
death was near and of which she had
spoken to her neighbors during the past
week. Mrs. Mary E. Ambrose, 46 years
of age, Wednesday'morning sat at an
organ In her home at Fort McPheraon
and played and sang the old familiar
hymn. "Jesus Is Colling Today."
Thursday afternoon, thirty-six hours
afterward, her dead body, lying on the
floor beside the bed In a pool of b!oo<J,
was found by Mrs. George Oertel, a
friend and neighbor. Investigation
showed that Mra. Ambrose, who lived
alone In a little cottage at the corner
of Jecons and Jonesboro drives, had
died suddenly of a hemorrhage. It Is
supposed she woe stricken shortly after
alnglng the hymn, or possibly while
still at the organ, as she bad not been
Men limit the bouse uft.-r neighbors
hoard her organ and the Impressive
words of the old hymn. .
When nothing had been seen or
heard of the nged woman up 0> Thurs
day afternoon, her neighbors became
alarmed and Mra. Oertel decided to In
vestigate. Going to the rear door of
the little cottage, which she found
slightly ajar. Mrs. Oertel peered Inside
and was shocked to discover the body
of Mrs. Ambrose, fully dressed, lying
on the floor In blood. The alarm was
quickly sounded and Marshal Kd Ryan
notified. It being feared at first the
woman might havy been murdered.
Coroner Thompson was also notified.
The coroner later held an Inquest, the
Jury finding that death waa due to
natural causes.
Mrs. Ambrose had felt for several
days that she wss marked for death
and during this time had frequently ex.
pressed to her friends her firm belief
that she would live but a short time.
Some time ago. following a short Ill
ness, Mrs. Ambrose made her own
burial clothes, which were found among
her possessions. In these garments,
prepared by her own hande, she will be
laid beneath the sod.
The latter part 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: 1 will remain here alone. The
Lord Is with ms. I huve 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 at once attracted the attention of
Mra. 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.
So persistent was Mrs. Ambrose in
her belief that she was soon to die, that
Mrs. Lillie Ross, a daughter of Mrs.
Oertel. asked her If she wanted her
husbund notified when she died.
"lie will know when 1 die. He will
beaultlclemly warned." was the strange
reply.".'--*-
Her husband, Charlea 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 and tor the
post two years his wife has heard
nothing from him. Hr had reared
writing to her, but neighbors stats that
the wlf* never once censured him.
A peculiar clrcumatance In connec
tion with tbe tragic death la the fact
that only a few days ago, notwithstand
ing she had received no word from her
husband for two years. Mrs. Ambrose
mailed a packngs to him In the Philip
pines. What this package contained Is
a mystery, but It Is believed the woman
felt so strongly the prsnence of death
that she sent to her husband Home arti
cle or articles of value she desired him
to have after she had passed away.
The body was taken In charge by
Harry G. Poole & Co., undertakers, and
prepared for burial.
SAYS SLAYER
WAS INSANE
New Tork, Nov. 8.—A strong point
for the defense was scored today. In
the trial of Frank H. Warner, charged
with the murder of Estelle Norllng,
when a witness for the prosecution,
celled to testify as to Warner's sani
ty. declared he beyeved the man was
lunatic.
The witness was William O. Peck'
ham. He waa called to tha stand after
Dr. William Mabon, an expert on In
sanity, had given It as his belief that
Warner knew the nature and quality
of his act and realized It waa wrong
at the time he killed the young woman.
In March, 1804." said Peckham,
"Warner called at my office and said
he wanted me to enter ‘suit against
the men building the subway because
he said the work of construction had
blocked up hiss tore and ruined his
business.
'The man seemed to be mentally Ir
responsible. 1 thought he waa out of
his mind. I refused to take his case
on that account."
This proved a eurprlse to both the
prosecution and the defense. Judge
Faster asked Warner If ha wanted to
question the witness. With a trium
phant smile he said he did nol.

$10,000,000.
New York, Nuv. 8.—With 810.000.000
of gold lucked away In her hold, the
richest cargo of money that has ever
crossed the Atlantic on one ship and a
new trans-Atlantic record written In
her log, the big Cunard turblner Lust
tenia steamed from quarantine this
morning and pushed up the bay to her
pier.
The money on the ship had come In
time to be distributed today among the
banks, so badly lii need of cash. When
the vessel nosed her way Into her pier
wagona 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 close she was greeted with cheers.
The westbound trip had been made
In four days, nineteen hours and ten
minutes, approximately. Her hourly
average has been a little better than
84 knots. Her former trip, completed
on October 11, was made In four daya,
nineteen hours and fifty-two minutes.
The beat day’s run was 617 knots.
Banking Conditions Normal.
An almost normal condition has been
restored on the financial market here,
and bankers In. general feel that con
fidence has been completely restored.
The actlone of the London banks In
'raising their discount rates are re
garded aa an Indication of the ability
of New York to command gold, und
the efforts of the European banks to
protect themselves against this de
mand. Europe's new discounts, how
ever, ar« regarded as Insufficient to
prevent the further Importation of gold
Into this country, In view of the large
credits which are being created by the
shipment of wheat and cotton.
High Rates Ineffective.
Tlis high rats fixed by the English
bank Is not expected to entirely arrest
exports from London to New York, but
Is counted on In London to equalize
the distribution of the yellow metal
among European money renters, so ai|
to offset losses to America by Imports
of gold from other places. The fact
that the Bank of France had advanced
Its rate, although to only 4 per cent. Is
considered a recognition of the severity
of the pressure upon the bank's great
gold resources.
