Embargo on Pulp
American Publishers Fight
Proposed Move on Part of

Washington. Feb. 1.—The National
Publishers' apsociatlon announce.! to
day it'had filed a brief with chair
man Borah of the senate foreign re
lotions committee protesting against
what it claimed was a threatened
embargo mi pnlpwood by Canadian
piper manufacturers and asking
what is to be the reaction “against
an embargo which is obviously class
legislation.'’
“Much an embargo as that proposed
by the Canadian mill owners,” says
ths brief, “will have the effect not
only of crippling the pnlpwood in
dustry in the United States, hut also
of giving (Canadian manufacturers
control of our paper market, thereby
increasing the cost to every user of
the printed word in the United States.
“Under the mask nf forest conser
vation, Canadian manufacturers are
trying to force the dominion govern
ment to stop the exportation of pulp
wood. They are trying to force
American operators to move their
mills into Canada, where the wood
would he transformed Into pulp for
the paper mills here. That much ac
complished, the next step would lie
to embargo pulp, thus forcing Ameri
cans to make their paper In the do
minion and under the domination of
the Canadian paper Industry,"

Sprakfr and Senate President
Pleased by Response to
PI ea for “Progressive
Legislation.'*
By Amiovlatfil l*re*e.
Lincoln, Feb. 1.—In one month
Nebraska’s 43d legislature has shown
more progress and cooperation than
any assembly since the first legisla
ture convened, according to opinions
expressed tonight by members of both
houses.
New for progressive legislation,
stressed by Speaker llurke in the
house and by Lieutenant Governor
Williams, president of the senate, at
the beginning of the session, has
been recognized and the nature of
bills introduced discloses the hearty
response to their appeals, they de
clared.
A last-minute rush of bills is expect
ed tomorrow, the 20th day of the
house sessions, and the last one for
introduction of bills. The senate
closes the doors to bills Thursday.
Marriage Hill lTp.
The bill abolishing the 10-day notice
In the state’s marriage law, the gas
tax measure, and the appellate court
proposition, are expected to be the
outstanding subjects for debate this
week.
Opponents of the marriage bill
have voiced their protests agftinst its
passage by the introduction of an
amendment proposing physical exam
ination before marriage. Couples leav
ing Nebraska to be married would be
compelled to submit to examination if
they returned to the state within
throe years, the measure provides.
Governor McMullen has stated his
position on the gas tax and has em
phasized its passage, pointing out
that the property tax of $1,500,000
would he eliminated if the measure
becomes a bill.
Two bills have been Introduced oh
the appellate court question. On bill
in the house would create a. commis
sion while the senate measure calls
for the establishment of a court of
appeals.
Child I^ahor Vole Tressed.
While 33 states have already re
jected to child labor amendment, giv
ing congress right to legislate on the
subject, friends of the amendment
have have expressed their determina
tion to push the question, probably
this week. The resolution favoring
the amendment is now in the state,
having been presented to that body
by Governor McMullen who made
no recommendation on It.
’The people will have to be edu
cated to the true significance of the
amendment during the next two
years If It does not get through In
this session,” Senator McGowan, re
publican, Norfolk, declared. The
senator Is one of its strongest spon
sors in the legislature.
The house and senate are scheduled
to convene at 2 tomorrow afternoon.

Court Raps Owner
of Scandal Paper
Publisher of Broadway Brev
ities Sent to Prison for
“Meanest Crime.”
New York. .Tun. 31.—"Few things
are meaner Ilian to threaten pub
licly to blast the lives of private
individuals by publication of false
statements," Federal-Judge Mack de
(Jared today before a crowded court
room.
He then turned to Stephen G.
Clow, publisher of Broadway Brevi
ties, and sentenced him to six year*
and a day at Atlanta penitentiary,
plus a $6,000 One, for conspiracy and
using the mails to defraud.
Clow heard Judge Mack order the
periodical barred from the mails and
he heard his attorney promise that
publication would be suspended if
Clow was permitted bail while await
ing action on appeal ofr a new trial.
Clow hoard Judge Mack say: "I
haven’t a shadow of doubt over the
correctness of the jury in finding
you guilty. There is no question but
that this sort of crime is meaner,
nastier, more disreputable In every j
respect than crime involving taking
money from poor people.
“I have no feeling of mercy fm
men who make a business of such
business. Their conduct was beyond
the pall of any decent man s concep
tion of the demands of mercy.
“It is more disreputable to threaten 1
to publish things that are untrue.
Flow’s threats to publish articles
about men and women, to disclose
secrets in their lives which they
wished to conceal—even granting
that those things were true—were
not to Inform society, or punish those^
whom he threatened, but merely to
extort money.
“The government’s difficulty In ob
taining witnesses to testify against
Clow because of their fear of venge
ance was apparent throughout the
trial.v

in Bonds Starts; First Step
in Increasing Elastirity
of Currency.
Washington, K.li. 1.—Th. tr.amiry
tomorrow bsgins tbs retirement of
approximate^ $118,000,000 in 4
per rent bond* c»f 1925, used by the
national banks to secure their own
note circulation.
Thus the first actual ster. will be
taken in a program that provide* for
the ultimate extinction of the long
used national hank note* and their re
placement with federal reserve
notes which, under the policy laid
down by congress, is expected to give
the nation the maximum in elasticity
of cutrency.
Plan Inaugurated in .Inly.
Retirement of the $118,000,000 in
federal securities will mean the retire
ment of an equal amount of national
hank notes. Other national bank
notes will be retired as the govern
ment ltonds louring the circulation
privileges mature in 1930, 1996 and
1938, unless other arrangements are
made by congress.
The public was advised of the
course proposed by tlie treasury In
an announcement of the program last
July. That was done. Secretary Mel
lon said, to discourage speculation.
The legal requirement of a notice
three months in advance of the date
on which the bonds were called for
redemption was met in the latter
part of September, and the treas
my's necessary financing to m**et
tiie maturing securities was cared for
in the December fiscal operation.
Called Bonds Being Turned In.
The called bonds are already being
turned in to Federal Reserve hanks,
which are forwarding them here for
destruction. The interest cease* to
morrow. hut nevertheless the treas
ury expects the bonds to come in
slowly.
With the retirement of the 4 per
cent bonds of 1925. there still will
remain outstanding 2 per cent con
sols of 1930 amounting to $599,724,050;
2 per cent Panama canal loan of 1916
1936 of a value of $48,954,180, and 2
per cent Panama canal loan of
1918193**. aggregating $25,947,400. all
