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. ftOOOODOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOrt o DUCKWORTH LETTER ° HA8 NOT YET ARRIVED. O O Washington, Nov.

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. AQUEDUCT.

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.

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. Steamer Ablaze In N. Y. Harbor New York. Nov.

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.
