filon Now Making' Inquiry.
EV YORK. Jan. . (Special.)
Tho Illness of 13. W. Harrlman pre
vented a Bensatlonal disclosure last
week by the Interstate Commerce Com-
inlsslon of how the Union Pacific Rail-
road stockholders paid $175 a share
for about 2 90.OOO shares of 1 1 1 . nol
it was Bald that moat ot XUla BtOCK
Wan accumulated by Harrlman and his
friends at i i f - ranging from 130 to
1 Ml. and that the several syndicates
Interested cleared largely In excess of
HOMOOO by the deal.
What was more to the point was the'
n'Hnrtton that examination of J-Iarri-lnan.
Krlclc. Wilcox and Valentine, of
tne union Pacific board or directors,
would show that perhaps more than
300,000 shares of Illinois Central were
srqulred by Individuals on the credit.
If not the cash, of the Union Paclflc.
and then sold to the railroad at 1"&.
The purchases were made In a. period
covertnK more than a year In lota of
200, 300 and 400 shares, and finally
when all possible accumulation of Illi
nois Central stock had been made
without driving the prices skyward,
the Union Faclflc directors, at the sug
gestion of Harrlman, and on a report
by Frlck, Valentine and Wilcox, agreed
to buy at 175.
The Interstate Oommerce Commis
sion has been informed that Ions be
fore this action by the Union Pacific
directors. Harrlman and his friends
who were in the proposed deal In fact,
as far back as 1004. when the stock
was at 135 began the purchase of
Illinois Central.
It Is alleged that the railroad secur
ities company was formed In New Jer
sey for no other purpose, and that it
acquired large blocks of Illinois Cen
tral in 18 months before last August
st prices running from 128 to 150. Har
rlman owned a majority of this stock
or held It in his name for the Rogers-
Ftlllman-Frk'k syndicate, and then got
his Union Pacific .1 rectdrs to purchase
It at a profit to the securities com
pany of several millions.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
will go thoroughly Into this new feat
tire of railroad finance in the next few
weeks, and it will be disclosed that
directors of the Union Pacific made
enormous profits by voting In the
hoard of directors to sell their own
stock to the corporation at the fixed
price of 175.

As Rollo Steele was reported to have
"been in Chicago and -Uj'netiburg, the po

FIREMEN'S STRIKE
CDMES TD AN
Basis of Settlement Agreed to
Between the Firemen
and Engineers.
RETURN TO WORK TODAY
Matter of Firemen's Seniority stand-
in. "ot Fully Solved, tout) Agree
ment Has Been Iteached by
Both Sides of Controversy.
HOUSTON. Tex.. Jan. . The strike of
the firemen on the Southern Paclflc is at
an end. The men go back to work to-
morrow at noon, me basis or settlement
WAS reached tonight during a conference
between Vice-Grandmaster Shea for the
firemen, and Vice-Grandmaster Wills for
the engineers.
The railway officials had no part In tha
final conclusion of the trouble.
The principal contention of the firemen.
wun regard to the strike, It was declared,
covered the right or jurisdiction over the
BWUCn englnemen. In other words, the
firemen's organisation demanded that a
fireman's seniority as engineer date from
the time he became a fireman. The en-
smews date their seniority from the time
the man becomes an engineer.
In 1 1 contract with the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers the company gives
jurisdiction over engineers to that
'brotherhood, and the company could
make no move in the matter. The en
gineer's brotherhood faced the proposi
tion of protecting those engineers who
had taken the places of strikers. To all
purposes, these engineers who had gone
out on a strike had lost their seniority
to the engineers who took their places.
The officials of the firemen's brother
hood having receded from the demands
they made when the strike was declared,
or the demands on which the strike was
declared, felt that if there was a settle
ment they should protect those engineers
of their own organization who left their
places, and eecure for them their stand
ing an the seniority lists at the time of
the strike. It was a very delicate prob
lem to be solved and It Is not fully solved
as yet, but has been left to the general
committee of Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers to decide.
It was learned tonight that the agree
ment covering this basis of settlement
had been signed by the officials of the
two brotherhoods, and the firemen will
return to work tomorrow noon pending
the solution of their seniority by the
committee of locomotive engineers.
Mr. Shea, of the firemen's organization,
stated that no settlement had been
reached and denied that any document
had been signed. He said: ,
"Present indications favor an amicable
settlement tomorrow for the engineers,
rlremen and the company, and I hope
nothing will be injected Into the proceed
ings to prevent a settlement on. these
terms."
Notwlthstandlr
the- statement of Mr.
Shea, it can be stated that a basis of
settlement has been reached, and that
he has receded from his position when
the strike was declared as to the control
of engineers, and has gone even further
by leaving it to a committee of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers just
what the status of the striking engineers
will be On the seniority lists.
MAKE TERMS KX0YVX TODAY
Commissioner Clark Instrumental In
Securing Agreement.
CHICAGO. Jan. At a meeting of" the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
Firemen and Railway Trainmen, called
by Interstate Commerce Commissioner
H E. Clark tonight, terms of settlement
of the firemen's strike on the Southern
Pacific lines in Texas were practically
adopted. The terms, it is believed, will
be made known tomorrow.
Mr. Clark, before his apoplntment to
the commission, was head of the Order
of Railway Conductors, and It Is believed
his efforts to end the controversy resulted
from his personal desire to see the strike
called of.
