SUDDEN CHANGES OF PLANS
Hill Calls Conference of Lead
ing Officials.
DEALS WITH OREGON LINE
Veiled Admission of Interest In New
Coos Bay Line Various Inter
pretations of Movements
of Railroad Chiefs.
I
PASO ROBLES. Cal.. March 25 This
town was the scene of several lightning
movements of the heads of the rival
Harriman and Hill railroad systems,
which seem to have a decided bearing
on the expected Invasion of the Harri
man territory by the Hill lines In the
Coos Bay region.
Mr. Harriman's special train, bear
ing Mr. Harriman, Miss Mary Harriman.
K. E. Calvin, vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Pacific Com
pany; Dr. and Mrs. Dixon, Mr. and Mrs.
tloelet. Drr McKenzle, Suerlntendent
Ahearn, of the Coast division of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and a corps
of secretaries and clerks, arrived last
night. Mr. Harriman announced his
intention of remaining several days to
take the baths.
Shortly after Mr. Harriman's party ar
rived in rolled the private car of Louis
W. Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway, bearing Mr. Hill and his fam
ily. Mr. Hill brought his automobile,
and It was announced that he Intended to
remain a week or two, automoblltng and
bathing. -
Hill Calls Conference.
But Mr. Hill had not been here a day
when he announced his intention to leave
here tomorrow morning for Los Angeles
to attend an Important conference be
tween Great Northern officials which
will be held In San Francisco tomorrow,
chiefly In reference to the extension of
the lines of that company. There was
recently Incorporated at Tacoma the Pa
cific Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany, and It Is hinted that the company
may be seeking an entrance Into San
Francisco, or at least to Coos Bay.
. "I can't say anything about the new
company." said Mr. Hill this afternoon,
"for I don't know enough about It. I
will leave Paso Robles Friday mornins
for San Francisco. That same afternoon
there will be a conference with officials
of the Great Northern from Portland,
Seattle and Tacoma, who are to meet
me there. I can't give out any statement
as to the Coos Bay line or any other pro
posed extensions. Perhaps after the
conference there will be some announce
ments." Harriman Hurries Away.
This suddon change in Mr. Hill's plans
was followed by a change equally sudden
in Mr. Harriman's movements. He will
leave for Del Monto early tomorrow in
his special car, but expects to remain
there but a day and then go north to
Burllngame. Mr. Harriman gives every
appearance of being In good health. He
was about the hotel today and when he
stopped upon a scale platform he tipped
the beam at 135 pounds.
What Docs It Slgniry?
The question which naturally sug
gests Itself to the Inquirers about the
hotel Is: Was this conjunction of two
great planets In the railroad firma
ment accidental and did they decide to
fly in different directions lest they
give color to the Impression that It was
intentional? Or was It Intentional and
did they hold a conference -which may
have a great bearing on the rivalry of
the two systems and to which the con
ference announced by Mr. hill has
some relation T Or did one or both of
them learn something of importance
about the plans of the other which
caused them to get busy?
Mr. Hill's announcement of a con
ference of Great Northern officials shows
that there Is more than appears on the
surface In the Incorporation of the Pa
cific Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany. Whether it Is contemplated to
run a steamer line to Coos Bay and San
Francisco, connecting with the North
Bank Road at Portland, or to extend
that road down the coast to Coos Bay
or up the Willamette Valley and across
the Coast Range to that point remains
to bo developed.
President Clark, of the Spokane. Port
land &. Seatt.e Railroad, left Portland
last night, but it Is not known whether
or not he left for San Francisco. H M
Adams, general freight agent for the
Nortn Bank road, said last night that ho
was not aware that Mr. Clark had left
the city, nor did he know of any confer
ence being held at San Francisco. He
was not awara that any Hill officials had
left for San Francisco.
A- D. Charlton, assistant general pass
enger aent of the Northern Pacific Rail
way, made a similar statement. General
Manager Nutt left Porfland Wednesday,
but Mr. Charlton believed that he had
gone to Tacoma. while saying that he
had no knowledge of Mr. Nutt's move
ments. Judging by th hour that Mr.
Nutt left his hotel. It Is assumed that he
went aboard the Southern Pacific train.

TEST SPOKANE DECISION
Kailroads Get No Encouragement
From Prouty's Explanation.
CHICAGO, March 25. (Special.) On
behalf of the Western railroads in
volved In the Spokane rate case, J. C.
Stubbs today tried to get some light on
the decision of the commission. At his
request. Commissioner Prouty met him
and the various points in the decision
were gone over and discussed.
It is understood tnat the Commis
sioner informed the railroad man that
the decision meant about what it said
and that the order was drawn in a
way which, in the opinion of the com
mission, would make it most difficult
to attack successfully. No secret is
made of the fact that the railroads
have decided to test the order in the
courts, because they feel that the
struggle between the commission and
the railroads with regard to rate prin
ciples must be fought out to a finish.

Dingley Rates on Wool May Be Re
tained May Increase Duty on
Manufactured Goods Early
Report Is Predicted.
WASHINGTON, March 25. Members
of the Senate committee on finance re
asserted today that they would be ready
to report a tariff bill whenever the
House passed the Payne bill. Aldrlch said
that the Senate committee could be ready
in three days, if necessary. - -
W It li every day's consideration of the
Payne bill, the Senate committee is im
pressed with the fact that It remains
close to the lines of the Dingley bill and
as a result the work of the committee
is. much simplified. The changes to be
made will be far fewer than was at
first expected. An esneclnl effort, will w
made to avoid the possibility of under
valuation of imports.
Encourage Plg-Iron Imports.
A question which is concerning the
finance committee to a re-arrangement of
schedules on related articles. Amorte-
these Is pig iron and manufactured pro-
aucis or pig iron. Under the Payne bill
some fear is exDressed that tlmr. a
too great a similarity in the reductio'ns
oi tnese -related articles and that in
stead of the desired Importation of Iron
in pigs the manufactured products may,
bo imported and thus cause competition
with American manufacturers. .
It is reported that the rate on manufac
tured articles may be increased over the
Payne schedules.
Revise Lumber Schedule.
A proposition submitted to the com
mittee on the subject of lumber was re
ceived with some favor. It provides for
the free importation of dimensioned lum
ber, but with the continuance of the
duty on the cull from which . lumber of
an inferior grade is manufactured.
For some of the figures It is asserted
that the difference between the cost of
producing dimensioned lumber in Canada
and In the tinited States is not sufficient
to make up for the difference in freight
rates between American milln on
dlan mills to the American market. The
deduction reached from this is that, even
if the duty on this class of lumber should
be removed entirely the American lum
ber producer would not be injured but
at the same" time the retention of the
duty on culls vwould compel the manu
facture of these culls into inferior lum
berfor packing boxes Instead of per-

today in an impromptu speech at a lunch

that out for the "whitewashing and dila

no doubt in his mind that certain ITate
officials would have been indicted in con

sure ihe report of the joint committee
which InvesUgated had been falsified by
the Senate members of the committee and
that the report as it now stood on the

WASHINGTON', March 25. Weary of
the gay whirl of society and face to
face, as she believed, with years of phy
sical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Jr.,
aged 49, wife-: of the tobacco magnate,
committed suicide by asphyxiation at her
home In this city today. Her tragic
death has shocked the social circles of
the capital as has nothing else in years.
Tonight the members of the Lorillard
family, famous for its wealth, are
gathering to mourn over the unexpected
blow.
The death was made more dramatic by
occurring only a few hnnr aftw -vr- --
Mrs. Lorillard had been the guests of
Mrs. Townsend on Massachusetts ave
nue at a dinner given in honor of Lady
Paget.
x Attempts to Revive Fail.
The butler in the Lorillard residence
detected an odor of gas this morning.
The gas was traced to Mrs. Lorillard's
apartments. The butler was horrified on
beholding the body of the mistress of the
house stretched lifeless on the floor of
her bathroom.
The alarm brought Mr. Lorillard from
his apartment. The servant was dis
patched for a doctor, while Mr. Lorillard
attempted to revive his wife by artificial
respiration. Two physicians vainly used
every scientific method t

Extreme reticence Is being maintained

sudden death. Only a few of the most

met with the resDonse that titi- T,rfi
lard had not committed suicide. She had

Mrs. Lorillard left a note, which the
