July 12—Two ‘Women have entered the Kepner shooting mystery case, and will be called to testify at the inquest to- morrow, according to States Attor- ney Aaron R. Anders. .. The women are Miss Lulu Ricketts and Mrs. Bruce Strailman. The for- mer is supposed to have been a close friend of B. Evard Kepner, husband of the dead woman, who at first was supposed to have been a suicide, but following a post-morten_examination it was disclosed that Mrs. Kepner * could not have shot herself according to the position of the wounds in her ead. Mrs. Strailman, who just recently divorced her husband, i3 a chum of Miss Ricketts, and it is declared_that she frequently accompanied Miss Rick- etts on automobile rides with Kepner. It became known today that few wit- nesses will be called. In addition to the above two, the sisters of Mrs. Kep- ner, \Misses Elizabeth and _Elinor Houck, will be summoned. Kepner also will be a witness, voluntarily con- senting to attend the inquest. .. The state's attorney has examined ‘about thirty witnesses, but only a small portion of these will be called tomor- w. AMERICAN PAPER MEN SEEK SUPPLY IN U. S. ] Meet to Lay Plans for Preserving Industry in Country, as Can- ada Places Ban. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 12.—With a view to solving the problem raised by the threatened embargo on wood pulp exports from Canada to the United States, a number of leading paper manufacturers from ail sections of the country met today at the Unlon League Club and organized as the ‘committee for the perpetuation of the paper industry in the United States.” Henry W. Stokes of the York Haven Paper Company, Philadelphia, was elected chairman of the execu- tive committee; A. G. Palne, Jjr, of the New York and Pennsylvania Paper Company was named vice- chairman, and Dr. Hugh P. Baker, ecutive secretary of the American laper and Pulp Association, was elected secretary. The new organization will not con- fine its membership to the American Paper and Pulp Association, but will include nearly all the big companies, both organized and unorganized. Manufacturers already enrolled rep- resent more than half of the total *productive capacity of the country, it is said. —— STATES APPEAL TO I. C. C. Port of Joint Authotity Urges Rail Terminals Be Opened to All Railroads opposed to_unification of terminals in the New York city area are fighting a policy followed every- where else in the United States, and Jmanifestly in the interests of trans- portation users, according to conten- tions in a brief flled with the Inter- state Commerce Commission by the port of New York authority. That or- ganization, created by joint action of the states of New York and New Jer- sey, has appealed to the commission | for assistance in bringing about the consolidation of the terminals now occupied competitively by trunk lines which serve the port. At Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, Boston, Toledo, and Detroit, the port authority's brief declared, the New York Central, though opposing uni- fication at New York, has occupled terminals jointly with other roads, .manifest advantages resulting. The brief contended that both the.state| and federal governments had power | to compel railroads to adopt joint| user arrangements in terminals and | congested track areas. ASK NEWMAN’S RELEASE.
