"Such an embargo as that proposed by the Canadian mill ays the brief, "will have the effect not only of crippling the pulp wood Industry In the United States, but also of giving Canadian manufac turers control of our paper market; thereby increasing the cost to every User of the printed word la the United States. "Under the mask of forest conser vation, Canadian manufacturers are trtylng to force the domination government to atop the exportation of pulp wood.

They are trying to force American operators to move their mills Into Canada, where the wood would be transformed Into pulp for the paper mills here. The next step would be to embargo pulp, thus forcing Americans to make thel paper In the dominion and under the domination of the Canadian paper Industry." The brief declared the continued propaganda put forth by the Canadian paper manufacturers.

N. Bowen. of the Herrin city court, was seen Saturday with. Phillips, and that the judge pointed out Fowler to him. was given in the Inquest over the shooting here this ifternoon.

The fact that the stranger had called Fowler's home and attempted to persuade him to come to the hotel, coupled by the testimony, at the inquest, was interpreted by klansmen as meaning that a trap had been set for Fowler.

rule star ball players never play up to form In the world series. Ty Cobb, greatest ball player of all time, was more or less of a flop in hla three chances to shine. Babe Ruth was twice a "bust before he came through. Even in his big year he fanned in the de ciding game, with the bases filled. when a long fly would have tied the score or a hit won it.

Steve O'Neill, who goes to the Yankees next season, is one excep tlon. O'Neill had his best year in 1920, when Cleveland won the pen His work In the series was sensational. Manager Wllbert Robinson of the Brooklyn club, the contending team that season, a great catcher in bis day, i recently remarked anent O'Neill's work for Cleveland In the world; series against his club: "His all-round play In the 1920 series was easily the greatest catching performance ever delivered In a world series. To me he was the outstanding star, the one player who made possible the winning of the series for Cleveland. METHODISTS TO HOLD MEETINGS Pensacola Leads In Attendance.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Feb. 1. (Special to The Journal). The dis trict-wide Sunday school Institutes Of the Methodist church have been Completed for the year 1925, according to announcement made here to day by Clarence M.

Dannelly, con ference superintendent of Sunday school work. The staff of the board conferred here today regarding re sults of these gatherings in each of the 11 presiding elders districts and In planning for the carrying out of "objectives" which were fixed at these institutes. A most satisfactory series of meetings was conducted in spite of the extremely bad weather experi enced in some districts at the time of the institute. A total attendance of 1,161 was recorded with 98 preachers being present, the representatives being present from 136 Sunday schools. The largest and most "representative attendance was in the Pensacola district when 275 were present; from 27 schools; the smallest attendance was In Selma.

The "objectives set at these Kutherlngs constitute the major program for the; Sunday school forces of Methodism in this section during 1925. They include placing the church's official "program for work" in 4SS schools; having 152 ranking schools with 397 ranking elementary departments! the holding of 183 training schools with Issuance of 1.922 310 schools holding decision day and every school in the conference observing "Sunday School Iay; 170 schools to meet all requirements regarding mission and social service; 7S4 registered Wesley classe: 190 schools to observe Children's Week and an increase of 2S.00O to have the Sunday school membership equal to the member-shin rf Ihd fllMf-ch. A series of 60 sub-district one-day I CATCHING JOBS Most of Clubs Are Weak On Substitute NEW YORK, Feb. 1 A majority of the major league clubs are decidedly weak in substitute catchers, This 'condition was revealed In the world series when a veteran like Gowdy, long past the peak of his game, did all the catching for the Giants. Had Muddy Ruel, star of the Washington club, been injured, there is no telling how badly the club would have been handicapped.

Tate, Ruel's only assistant, caught In only a few games all season and displayed merely! ordinary ability. The fact that; Ruel was able to work regularly 'all year is probably all that saved the Nationals. The value of the Ray Schalk was shown in the poor showing! the White Sox made with him a bench warmer most of the season, The New York Yankees suffered more than any other club In either league because of lack of substitute catching material. When Schang was forced out because of an accident, Hoffman failed. Bengough, second-string backstop, did a much better job.

Big league catching material seems more at a premium than ever.

Salvaging operations on the submarine S-48 which went aground at Little Harbor in a blizzard Thursday night, had progressed so successfully under ideal conditions today that naval authorities said the craft probably would be floated tomorrow and brought to the dry-dock at the KItterey navy yard for repairs.

The game was transferred to this city because of the sogglness of the West Palm Beach field.

Only one Gator reached third base. The home club took freely to the offerings of Eberhardt, recently signed by the Gators.

He retired in favor of Gray at the end of the fifth. W. P. Beach 000 000 000 0 0 3 Lake Worth. ..403 321 03016 22 2 CHESS CHAMPION SETS NEW MARK Russian Plays Twenty-Eight Amateurs.

With, some the best amateur histrionic talent In the city playing rolea and lavish costumes and scenery, thia preentatlon is expect- ed to be the most elaborate am- ateur production ever staged her.

As the curtain goes up Xor the first act, Henri, Marquis of Come- I ville, an exile on account of civil war returns home at the occasion of the great annual fair in the village getting Its name from his cha- teau. Gaspard, and old miser, wants hla daughter, Germalne. to marry the principal magistrate of the district Ballli. which does not suit either the girl or a young fisherman. Jean Grenicheux.

who pretends he has saved her from drowning. Germalne takes advantage of the privileges of the fair to escape, and i Grenicheux and Eerplotte, "the good-for-nothing, follow her ex- ample. The second act is taken up with supernatural -visitors who have made the Castle of Corneville so i long an object of dread. Henri determines to ascertain the character I of these ghostly appearances, and discovers it la the work of the old miser, who has concealed his wealth In the chateau. The discovery drives Gaspard crasy, especially when he hears bells of the old chateau ringing for the first time since the flight of the Marqius.

The third act begins with a grand fete given in honor of Henri's return. Eerplotte arrives as the Marchioness, as some papers found in the old chateau indicate she la the lost heiress. Gaspard, the old miser, recovers his reason and shows that Ger- i maine is the true Marchioness.
