LONG DISCUSSION ENDS IN NAUGHT Attorneys and Councilmen Grow Irate During Debate Last Night. The effort to adjust the Marshfield city council mlxup last night ended in failure. While both sides specified a desire to settle the controversy, each had a plan for doing it and neither side would agree to the other's plan. The matter was dis cussed at length hut the longer it was discussed, apparently the farther apart the two became, and both sides declared "Let the courts settle it." The meeting was largely attended, the recorder's office and council chamber being crowded almost to capacity. Briefly the two propositions for settling the controversy as presented last night were a? follows: C. F McKnight as attorney for G, W. Carleton and W. R. Haines stated that his clients had empower ed him to make a proposition that if the council would enroll them as members, they would immediately resign; also that in doing this the court be allowed to enter a decree making the writ of mandamus per petual. The proposition from the other side as stated by two or three was that the resignations of G. W. Car leton and W. It Haines would be accepted providing the mandamus suits were dismissed without any decree of the courts; also that any appointments Mayor Straw might make to fill the vacancies excepting three men (whose names were not given) would be ratified. Going As Peacemaker. C. C. Going started the movement to try and adjust the matter and for a time it was thought that he had succeeded. Ho started Saturday by conferring with Messrs. Coke, Al brecht and Butler and said that he secured their consent. He said that they were willing to accept the resig nations of Messrs. Caileton and Haines, to have the action in court dropped and to, accept any appoint ments to fill the vacancies that he would suggest, barring three men. With this understanding, he called Hugh McLain, Tom Nicols and Dr. J. T. McCormac to go with him to the attorneys and have the suits dropped. The first conference he said was Monday in C. F McKnight's office. At the conclusion of it, he said that he thought it had been adjusted hut Tuesday he found' that Mr. McKnight had a different understanding of the terms than he had. Again Tuesday, another conference was held in Mr. McKnight's office and then he was given to understand Mr", McKnight's Insistence that a decree of the courts he entered in the case, making the writ perpetual. Mr. Going said that he had work ed four days and practically four nights in an effort to get the matter fettled entirely for the benefit of the public." He said he thought that he had the principals agreed to a settlement, but it had become twisted up and ho was tired of it and was filing to declare that his first at tempt in public role would be his ast. However, he said he wanted to retire with the friends that ho had entered with and not wish anyone to misunderstand what he had done. McKnight states resit Ion. C P. McKnight was the first fpeaker to bring the question up. He said that In making the proposi tion, he had no apologies to make for their past conduct and that their proposition was mnde without fear or favor and was wholly for tho benefit of MarRhfleld. Mr. McKnight said that his clients ad decided to make the offer In NORTH QUITS CENSUS JOB Director Resigns As Result of Trouble With Sec. Nagel, His Superior. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, May 2G. S. N. D. North, director of tho Cen--us, has tendered his resignation and it was accepted today. E. Dana Du rand, deputy commissioner of cor porations, has been nominated to -ucceed North, whose resignation was a direct result of his controversy with Secretary Nagel. The following statement in con nection with the North case was given out at the White Houbc: "Director North has tondered his resignation as director of the census'. It was accepted and the name of B. Dana Durand, now public commis sioner of corporations, has been sent to the Senate to succeed him. North's resignation Is based on the ground that on account of the conditions ex isting and likely to continue, his ad ministration of tho census office would not probably be successful." Durand is from California nnd has been head of the bureau of corpora tions for some time and it is believ ed he will work in harmony with Secretary NaggJ. pi rector North held "to the belief that the census bureau was an independent institu tion and that he was responsible onlv to the president. A congres sional enactment put the census bu reau under the Department of Com merce and Labor. Friction had ex isted between North and Nagel for some time and it was the result of Nagel's Insistence that North wrfs made subordinate to him. MAGXATKS OK THE PACIFIC RAILWAY SYSTEMS COMPEL LED TO KXTER AGREEMENT ' HILL MAY LOSE HIS COXTHOL. (Hy A!SO ated Press.) PORTLAND, Ore., May 2C In connection viMi the announcement that the Northern Pacific, Union Pa cific and Great Northern roads have reached an agrpfiiifiit covering their operations in the Pacific Northwest, the Evening Telegram today will say "James J. Hill is gradually los ing his control of the Northern Pa cific. Wall street has forced a Hill Harriman truce in the Northwest. Hill has paid the price to protect himself when the blow conies anil Harriman has paid the price that his gigantic enemy has exacted for en trance to Puget Sound. From the best information that may bo had here, tho ledger accounts between these great powers In the Industrial and financial world seem to balance pretty well. Hill secures terminals for tho Great Northern in Portland and gels his North Bank train Into the Union depot. Harriman nullifies the effect of the Interstate Commerce Commission In opening the Portland gateway by obliterating the portal to Puget Sound altogether." The Even ing Telegram goes on to say the deal Is the outcome of a quiet fight which Wnll Street lias ben making on the Hill intorests and that the day is in evitable when his enemies will be prepared to throw down the gaunt let and do him open battle for pos session of the system. That Is why Hill wants to secure tho Great North ern terminals in Portland and that is why he is willing to let Harriman into Tacoma and Seattle on equal URGE M SUBSCR CERTIFICATES OF NEW RAILROAD lARSUFIELD'S MID-WEST SHAKEN BY EARTHQUAKE KING'S HORSE WIXS.
