Notice of a real war on print paper manufacturers was given by newspaper publishers of the United States today at an open heaivng before the federal trade commission.

The hearing is the first ofseveral to be held to determine if possible the underlying causes and a possible remedy for the tremendous increase in cost of print paper to publishers. That the American newspaper publishers' association Is preparing a "war chest" to fight the manufacturers and is compiling data tending to show that collusion and conspiracy exist among the manufacturers to keep print paper prices up was declared by Vice President F. P. Glass of the association, first speaker at the hearing. Certain mills, Glass said, are making paper cheaper than ever before.

J. H. Zerbey, representing the National Editorial association, gave the first testimony to indicate collusion between mill owners. "I was cut off from my paper supply after a minor infraction of rules," he said. "I wrote thirty or forty manufacturers and brokers regarding supplying me with paper.

I received three replies. All three asked me why I didn't go back to my original dealer." when a hor6e behind which she was driving with, Mrs. R. H. Kane, took fright at a street car and ran away.

The accident" 'occurred about 5:30 Monday afternoon near the corner of West Avenue and State street. According to Robert Kane, owner of the horse, and husband of Mrs. Kane, the two women and the child in the buggy; had just left the 'barn on State street and were leisurely proceeding north when a cemetery car came up; behind thhm, frightening the horse. The horse jumped sideways and after several desperate leaps broke the thills. The buggy was dragged some distance and finally ran into a tree, overturning with the two women still in it.

It was then that Mrs. Hanson threw the child from the rig In an effort to save it. Baby's Leg Broken As a result the little girl. Hazel, sustained a fracture of the leg. and Mrs.

Kane is nursing various minor injuries. Mrs. Hanson, like Mrs. Kane, was considerably shaken, but wag not injured. The buggy overturned on the lawn of Miss Katherine McDonald, 226 West Avenue north.

Duluth, St. Louis county, and Minnesota state officials were raked severely by George P. West, who wrote the report of the Colorado strike for the United States commission on industrial relations. Authorities Acainst Men "The city of Duluth.

the county cf St. Louis and the state of Minnesota, as represented by Governor Burnquist and other public officials, have joined hands in a relentless effort crush out the strike of 15.000 miners." declared the report. thaa 1.000 men have been deputized, according to the sheriff's own statement, and armed. The slums of Duluth have been combed to recruit this army of gunmen. Sheriff Mein-.

ing. like Jeff Farr of Colorado, admitted that he had deputized the company guards without investiei-tion. "Business In Duluth Is doing It bit. Leading wholesalers have served notice on merchants that during the strike all credit will be curtailed. And while the miners face war.t and suffering, and endure the violence of a private army of gunmen, the United States Steel corporation aa-nounces the largest earnings In the history of an American industrial corporation.

The raider was engaged by British aircraft and bombarded by-anti-aircraft guns. Later it was seen to drop to a low altitude and disappear in the mist off shore.

1 week from Caledonia, where they were the guests of friends. Miss Mary Hennessy left the first of the week for Faribault, where she will be the guest at the activities of peace are the alleviation, and the prevention, of human suffering. Alleviation The stories of Galveston, Dayton, San Francisco and the Titanic are the history of the former, for here alleviation of human suffering was the task of the Red Cross. Since 1905, when the American society was reorganized, there have been more than eighty relief operations conducted by the organization. In which nearly fifteen millions of dollars have been expended In the alleviation of human suffering.

i Prevention Prevention of human suffering is not less important. Work in this line is largely educational. The Red Cross enters the factory, the mine and the traction plant and teaches people how to avoid accidents and sickness. It brings to the attention of heads of these institutions methods of operation, arrangement of machinery and sanitary precautions; it teaches the workers how to work with a minimum of danger. It enters the home with the message of how to keep well, covering diet, sanitation and other lines of treatment.

It engages itself in country towns as well as in the cities. One of its most important factors is the visiting nurse. In all its activities it works through organization and develops the maximum of efficiency. The Best Method In emergencies, such as the imaginary disaster pictured in the beginning of this article, (a thing entirely possible excepting that the explosives carried by the sporting department of a hardware store would not cause a serious explosion), the experiences of the Red Cross have developed a fairly set program, one most effective where a strong Red Cross Chapter exists, but slow and painful of development where there is no foundation organization. The first, step, is to name a central committee, made up of experienced civic workers representing all classes in the community.

A swift and accurate canvass to determine and make records of the situation and the needs' as they are located, follows. The latter work is in the hands of a special bureau. To encourage work, citizens are detailed to tasks affecting, as much as possible, their own private interests, thus getting the maximum effort out of each individual. Definite plans are adopted to meet those phases of the disaster that are peculiar to it.

George Hanson is a fireman attached to Company No. 1. Charles Mull and Henry Johnson, the crew of the car, said today that the horse did not bolt until the car had passed.

He cited San Domingo as an instance where appointments had gonet to "deserving democrats," and to 'the failure to continue Ambassador Her-rick at his post in Paris after the war had started as "a lamentable sacrifice of international impute." Hughes' "keynote" for the coming campaign pleased all republicans. Party chiefs who assembled to hear the former justice formally accept the nomination last night were unanimous today irf praising the striking sentences with which the candidate outlined the issues on which the G. O. P. is to start eviction proceedings against Woodrow Wilson and the democratic majority in the senate and house.

The fact that 4,000 men and women sat for nearly three hours in sweltering, sizzling heat to hear the nominee break another of his famous silences in the meeting at Carnegie hall was looked upon by republicans today as auguring well for success in November. Moreover, the same sticky, sweating auditors had enough enthusiasm left at the end of that session in the close air of the hall to cheer Hughes vociferously. They would have liked to have heard something from Colonel Roosevelt, but the former moose, playing second fiddle at a political gathering for the first time in a great many years, hustled out of the hall. Touches All Factions Hughes' speech in the view of his friends, supported hi3 harmony plea with a selection of the issues for the campaign which combine views of republican standpatters, republican liberals and progressives. The "old liners" were pleased with a ringing protesting declaration on the tariff; the liberals with the labor, conservation and administration efficiency sections, in his upbraiding of the Wilson administration, and the bull moosers with the "Americanism" creed, the preparedness platform and the Mexican discussion.

Republicans and democrats alike today were convinced that Hughes' principal issue in his fight against Wilson will be the Mexican situation. The second line offensive will be bombardment along the lines of "adequate" preparedness and the tariff. Notified by Harding Senator Harding, who was chairman of the republican national convention, notified the candidate formally of his nomination, speaking as follows: "Notwithstanding your holding aloof from all conference and participation, that unfailing understanding which directs popular sentiment to highest victory called you to the service of the party and the nation. Your record of public service, your well known and courageous views on public 'questions when in executive position, your abiding devotion to republicanism, your possession of a confidence which has united all believers in republican policies under our party banner, your unalterable and abiding Americanism, your high personal character and well known capacity all these have fixed you in the American mind as the best exponent of republican principles and the wisest leader to restore American prestige and efficient government. "We bring you now the commission to that leadership.

We bring it in full confidence that the people will gladly acclaim the republican restoration under your trusted leadership. "Aye, sir, we bring it believing you will add to our self-respect, confidence and good fortune at home and to that respect and good opinion abroad which meets our higher American aspirations." No Surprise to Wilson WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. President Wilson had Charles E. Hughes speech of acceptance for breakfast this morning.

He had plerity of time thoroughly to digest it the speech before cabinet meeting. When that body convened they all went to it. The speech followed lines anticipated by the president and his advisers, it was declared. So certain were administration leaders that Hughes would say what he did so they said today jat the president has been preparing his own speech of acceptance for several weeks and it is now practically, completed with only few changes necessary. It is understood his reply will he largely constructive, dividing itself into two major parts: Development of a declaration that the republican party is a "reminis- 01 miiK nerearter would be nine cents a quart instead of eight.
