THE MOKKIJSU OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1907. iYBE beaten BT DUTGH They Hold Balance of Power in Illinois Central Contest. HAVE WHIPPED HIM ONCE Fih Sure of All Dutch Proxies and May Get All Other Europeans, llarrlman Driven From Kansas City Southern. NEW YORK. Oct. 7. (Special.) Upon the votes of hundreds of small Dutch Investors may depend the outcome of one of the (treatest battles In the cam paign the many enemies of H H. Har rlman are waging to depose him from the dictatorship of the railroads covering onc-tlilrd of the area of the United States. In the contest of Stuyvesant Fish against Mr. Harrlman for control of the Illinois Central Kallroad the . Dutch have sent to Mr. Fish, tt was learned today, proxies for 40,000 shares of stock. About 20 per cent of Illinois Central stock Is held in Kurope, the greater part of It In Holland, and. If Mr. Fish gets all the European stock, those shares probably will swing the railway elec tion In his favor. With the Dutch shareholders actively at work for Mr. Fish. as was disclosed to day, he has a good chance to get all the European proxies. It Is also learned that New Orleans and Galveston holders are swinging to the Fish side. Parallel Case Quoted.' It Is an Interesting coincidence that the position of the Illinois Central Is similar, in one Important respect at least, to that of the Kansas City South ern a few years ago. Mr. Harrlman took hold of the Kansas City Southern In MOO for the announced purpose of rehabili tating the property. The stockholders were overjoyed to get a man of his abil ity to take charge of the road and, when he told them he would serve without pay, their delight was unbounded. For two years Mr. Harrlman did serve as chair man of the board without pay. then de cided he was entitled to a salary of J25.O0O a year, but made the salary retroactive to cover the two years during which he had drawn no pay. It is even charged, and Mr. llarrlman never has denied the accusation, that, when he decided In 1903 he should have a salary, he called a meeting; at which there wore present only Otto H. Kahn, his bnnker. and himself, and voted him self not only that year's salary, but two years' back pay, making 175,000 In all. Subsequently, It Is true, the directors ratitled his action. All the directors were his friends. Had Wrecked the Road. rosslbly the Dutch stockholders would not have objected to Mr. Harirman vot ing himself g. sa'Ary If he had built up the road. buV hept going from bad to worse. ArticP- appeared In- Dutch news papers containing attacks upon Mr. Har rlman far more hitter than anytiung rver printed In this country. The Dutch sent a party of engineers to examine the property and their report Bhowed It was run down to an extent the shareholders considered almost criminal. Bridges and other parts of the property upon which the safety of passengers depended were in such bad condition that "the railway men were amaxed at the facts disclosed. Under the leadership of Herman Rtlcken the Dutch stockholders began a fight to oust Mr. Harrlman. They engaged Sanuiel Untermler as counsel and made things so hot for Mr. Harrl man that at the last moment he with drew from the contest. Under Dutch control the road has prospered. MAKE RAILROAD TRAVEL SAFE Roosevelt AVill Vrgo New Reform and Give Horrible Examples. WASHINGTON", Oct 7. (Special.) It is reported that one of the important pieces of new legislation along progressive lines which President Roosevelt will urge In Ms forthcoming message to Congress will be a measure giving the Interstate Com merce Commission power to deal with the physical construction of railroads to t he extent of assuring safe roadbeds, flawless trackage und generally to look after conditions that Involve the lives and llmhs of passengers. The necessity for the conferring of some such powers on li.e Fe'deral au thority In connection with the regulation of Interstate commerce appeared to mem bers of the Commission several months ago, when some sensational testimony was given by steel manufacturers rela tive to the inferior quality of rails pur chased by certain railroads, which run the fastest of fast passenger trains over their lines. Since then a quiet Investiga tion has been conducted. Photographs have been taken of portions of the track of the big roads In the West, which show conditions calculated to excite agi tation for reform. One photograph, for example, shows where a man has thrust his cane Into a rotten tie with as much ease as if the tie was made of paper. The scenes de picted in the Commission's art gallery are tracks upon which the very fastest trains are run every hour In the day. Possibly the photographs may be repro duced and made yxrt of the Commission's annual report and the road held up as a horrible example. ANOTHER WAIL FROM RIPLEY fcnnta Fe Stops Improvements Till Attacks on Railroads Cease. CHICAGO. Oct. 7. (Special.) In the twelfth annual report of the Santa Fe Road, which was made public today, President E. P. Ripley makes an official announcement that all extensions and new work have been suspended until pub lic confidence In the railroads shall have been restored. Mr. Ripley also declares that it will be Impossible for the railroads of the coun try to obtain the hundreds of millions of dollars which they must expend, if they keep pace with growing demands for transportation, unless the public begins soon to realise that it has made a mis take in vigorously attacking the rail roads. To show that railroad investments have not proved as fruitful as others. Mr. Rip ley states that during 1907. the most pros perous year in the history of the com pany, the net earnings averaged only 4.5 per rent upon the entire capitalization, "which is believed not to exceed the cost of reproducing the company's properties at the present time." He proceeds: "Interest and dividend payments of the year averuged less than 4.8 per cent on the bonds and stocks and for the last ten years the net earnings have averaged less than 4.SJ per cent on the entire capitali zation and the average dividend and In terest payments less than 3.71 per cent, lu order even to accomplish these results. HARR MAN it was necessary for the company to ex pend for improvements, additional equip ment and new construction during the last ten years a total of JllO.OOO.OOO. Dur ing the same period the total sum paid to stockholders was less than $75,000,000. AY ALL STREET- STOPS WORK Stringency of Money Market. Hin ders Colorado Extension. DENVER, Colo., Oct. 7. (Special.) There are to be no important extensions by the Colorado railroads during the com ing year on account of tightness in the money market in Wall street. Several big enterprises which have been under contemplation will not be pushed through to completion at this time and none of the companies will attempt to market its securities In Wall street. The Colorado & Southern has completed its surveys, made estimates of cost and figured out all of the details for building a 300-mile extension on Its northern lines from Orin Junction in Wyoming to the Canadian border but the plans are being held in abeyance awaiting the recovery of the depressed money market. The Denver & Rio Grande will not do any broad guaglng. the coming year and will postpone the double tracking of its line from Denver to Pueblo as had been planned. The enterprises which do not have to depend upon Wall street for their finances will probably be the only ones undertaken. The Denver, Laramie & Northern, which is to be constructed by the people who subscribe for stock in small blocks, will not be interfered with as it has not gone to Wall street for assistance. The Moffat Road will probably be continued without interruption. TWO MORE INDICTMENTS Jury Returns Charges Against Southern Pacific, Paclfio Mall. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7. The United States grand Jury today presented two supplementary indictments, one against the Southern Pacific Company, and the other against the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company, charging them with violations of the interstate commerce law. Each indictment contains eight counts, which relate to shipments of matting from Kobe, Japan, to various points in the United States at rates lower than those mentioned in the schedule furnished the Interstate Com merce Commission. The Southern Paclfio and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were allowed until October 21 to plead to the former indictments charging them with having violated the Interstate commerce laws by carrying consignments of matting and mats at lower rates than in the schedule furnished to the Interstate Commerce Commission. BUYER PAID THE FREIGHT Lime and Cement Company's New Scheme for Dodging Law. LOS ANGELES, Cel., Oct. 7. Donald Fragner, secretary of the Grand Canyon Lime & Cement Company, whose dealings with the Santa Fe Railroad are allega tions in the trial of the railroad on a charge of rebating in the Federal court, was on the witness stand today. Mr. Fragner was able to point out that in every instance carloads of lime and cement were shipped' to purchasers f. o. b. at the point- of delivery. Then, ac cording to the witness, the purchasers paid the freight and sent the bill to the cement company, when they were credited with the amount of the freight bill. It Is the Government's contention that the cement company asked and ijecelved a rebate on all these shipments, alleging loss of cement on the road, its statements of the lass being accepted without ques tion by the railroad company, although allowing the purchasers to pay the full charge of freight. Great NorthernwExtra Dividend. NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Announce ment of an extra dividend of 14 per cent by the Great Northern Railway Company was made today. It was an nounced that the funds for the dividend are derived from the Lake Superior Company, and come not from the ore lands leased to the United States Steel Corporation, but from other of its hold ings, such as coal lands and express companies. STEALS ANOTHER'S WIFE Italian Fruitdealer Gets Badly Tangled Up With Affinity Idea. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 7. (Special.) Belief in the affinity idea has led Felice De Vecchlo, a young Italian fruit dealer, to elope from Trenton, N.

Detective McDonald testified that the police had been called to 230 Main avenue on the night in question and found Felice and Mamie there with Joseph. The three were engaged in a 'squaoble and had come almost to blows. The offi cer declared that Felice had tried to carry the woman away right in front of the officers, but had been prevented. The wife declared that Felice is her affinity and said she did not love her husband. The court asseeeed a fine of ISO and costs against the dark-skinned Lochinvar on the disorderly conduct charge., DISEASE IS SPREADING Tacoma Physicians Handicapped Without City Bacteriologist. TACChviA. Wash., Oct. 7. (Special.) Diphtheria is said by the physicians to be spreading since the Council refused to nav a salary to retain a Dacterloiogist. The situation is declared to be most serious and a menace to the public health. Dr. Quevll says that diphtheria was pretty well stamped out before Dr. Bebb, the bacteriologist, was allowed to go. Since then numerous cases have appeared and the contagion is spreading. Dr. Quevll has six cases. Dr. Green, the city health officer. Is credited with doing all he can under the circumstances, but he is handicapped without the services of a regular public bacteriologist.

UNCLE SAM HELD IMMUNE Customs Service Claims Dues on Cargo Arriving at Bremerton, but Ship Claims hnmunily. Cargo Can't Be Seized. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. A conference was held at the Navy Department to day by Secretary Metcalf, Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain and the So licitor of the Department of Commerce and Labor, regarding the status of the British tramp steamer Netherlee. which took a cargo of coal for the Navy Department to the Bremerton Navy-yard and was held up there for tonnage, dues and light taxes. Advices were that the vessel is discharging her cargo. A thorough search was made of the records today to ascertain whether any immunity from these charges had been promised to the owners or agents of the vessel, Mr. Metcalf declaring that, so far as he was aware, such promise had not been made. The contention of the Naval offi cials is that the old law Imposing ton nage and light dues was supersceded by the statute which forfeits to the Government cargoes carried by for eign vessels In the American coastwise trade in violation of the law. The Attorney-General in his recent opinion replied in the negative, when asked by Mr. Metcalf whether the prohibition contained in the law extended to mer chandise which constitutes "property owned by the Government." This being the caee, and the cargo of the vessel belonging to the Navy, the officials of the letter Department fall to see any reason for the detention of the vessel. A dozen or more other foreign vessels chartered by the Equip ment Bureau to carry coal to the Pa cific Coast will be affected by the final disposition of the present case. Pays Duty on Government Coal.. .PORT TOWSTSEND. Wash., Oct. 7. The sum of 3274f, customs duties was paid under protest by the British steamship Netherlee on her arrival with a cargo of coal from the Atlantic Coast. The consignment is the first of a series of coal shipments to arrive from the East for the United States Navy-yard at Bremerton, to be used to supply vessels of the United States Navy with fuel and prevent any re occurrence of the coal famine of last Winter. On the Netherlee's arrival Captain Ranklne, -believing that he would pass in duty free, was thunder struck when the customs officials In formed him that customs charges amounting to $2746 must be paid be fore he could proceed. He argued that his cargo belonged to the United States Government, but the anomaly was al lowed to stand and the duty was paid under protest.

NO DANGZR OF COLLISION Flttsburgers Sa. Suspension of Hartweg's Pilot' Unjust. PITTSBURG. Pa., Oct. 7. The mem bers of the Pittsburg delegation to the Deep-Waterways Convention at Memphis do not agree with President Roosevelt that during the trip to Memphis there was any danger of collision between the steamboat Mississippi, on which the Presidential party was riding, and the Fred Hartweg, on which was the Pitts burg delegation. They believe an Injus tice was done Pilot Nichols, of the Hart weg, whose license was suspended for six months on order from the Presi dent. The pilot had a hearing in Mem phis behind closed doors. Captain John Moren, who was on the Mississippi, says he was close to the President when the Hartweg came near, and at no time were the steamers closer than 100 feet, and there was not the slightest danger of collision. 'I was on the Hartweg," said Captain W. B. Rodgers, "and I never saw a fleet handled better. There wis no accident and at no time was there the least dan ger of any accident or collision."
