ST. PAfL. Minn.. Oct. 28. (Special.)
President Howard Elliott, of the North
ern Pacific, gave the following official
statement today:
"On" account of the resignation of
Charles M. Levey, who has accepted the
position of second vice-president and
general manager of the Western Pacific
Railway Company, with headquarters at
San Francisco, it has become necessary
to reorganize the Northern Pacific op
erating staff.
Effective November 1. the following ap
pointments are made:
"George T. Slade. now general manager
at St. Paul, will be third vice-president,
in charge of maintenance and operation
of all Northern Pacific lines.
Nutt Given Larger Power.
"H. C Nutt. now general manager at
Tacoma. in charge of 2060.1 miles of the
company's property west of Paradise,
Mont., will continue as general manager
and will also act as fourth vice-president,
representing the company in that terri
tory. "George A. Goodell, now general super
intendent of the company's middle dis
trict between Mandan. N. IX. and Para
dise. Mont., 142.3 miles of railroad, will
succeed Mr. Slade aa general manager of
the company's property between Paradise.
Mont., head of the Lakes and Twin
Cities. IS45.7 miles of railroad.
"Mr. Goodell will be succeeded by C. L.
Nichols, now superintendent of the Mon
tana division, with headquarters at Liv
ingston, Mont.
"The large volume of business and the
number of negotiations of all kinds going
on In Washington.' Idaho and Montana,
and the rapid development in that coun
try make It desirable to add to the staff
and powers of officers on the west end,
and for that reason Mr. Nutt is made
fourth vice-president In addition to act
ing as general manager.
"During the ensuing 12 months.
Northern Pacific will continue its policy
of strengthening the roadbed in every
way, so as to give the safest and most
expeditious movement of passengers and
freight By the end of 1910, the main
line between the' head of the lakes, the
Twin Cities, Puget Sound .and Portland
will be laid entirely with steel of either
So or 90 pounds weight to the yard, and
thus we shall complete the work of re
laying the heavier rails begun in 1904.
.Elimination of all small wooden struc
tures in the main line will also con
tinue as rapidly as it can be done with
out Interruption to the movement of
business. ' AH important bridges are now
of steel.
Add Much Double Track.
Quite a number of pieces of double
track are being put in on the main line,
some between St. Cloud and Staples,
Minn., and some small pieces between
Jamestown and Bloom, N. D. Between
Huntley and Billings, Mont.; between
Logan and Bozeman, Mont.; between
Ml.sEoula and De Smet, Mont. ; between
Spokane and Trent, Wash.
"Double track is already completed
between Seattle and Tacoma, and work
is now going on making double track
between Tenlno. Wash., and the Colum
bia River bridge. Construction will
shortly be begun also on the new double
track line of the company between Ta
coma and Tenlno, which, when finished,
will give the company a complete double
track line between Seattle and Portland.
"When these pieces of work are com
pleted, the company will have double
track or the equivalent thereof between
St." Paul and Spokane of nearly 700 miles.
"Between Spokane and Pasco is the
equivalent of double track by reason of
the construction of the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle Railway, which gives an
alternate route with low grade and light
curvature.
"In addition to strengthening the main
line as outlined with heavier rail, metal
bridges and a liberal supply of ballast,
block signals are being installed at vari
ous points where there is large train
movement. The company, feeling that
the growth of the Northwest will be
rapid during the next few years, has
placed orders for considerable 'equip
ment for delivery in 1910."

Chicago Broker Reaps Another Rich
Harvest bj; Speculating.
Wins $12,000,000.
CHICAGO. Oct. 28. (Special.) James
A. Patten became approximately 14.000,
000 richer through the wild rise in Amer
ican and English cotton markets today.
He is long about 200,000 bales, much of
which he accumulated when cotton was
selling around 8 cents a pound. An ad
vance to 14 8-8 cents this morning, when
shorts attempted to cover, gives him an
average profit of 4 cents a pound.
Every change of a point In the marke.
means $10,000 to the- millionaire grain
trader, who won about J5.000.000 In wheat
last May. An advance of a point on 100
bales of cotton is equal to 6. Since last
Spring cotton has advanced about 500
points, and as a result Patten's Chicago
followers have been richly rewarded, as
they were last Spring in wheat.
The cotton crop is short an enormous
amount and in financial districts as well
as In Eastern manufacturing sections.
It is believed prices will reach about 16
cents a pound before marketing of the
yield Is completed. La Salle street
brokers who have kept in. touch with
deals of the ex-Mayor of Evanston. say
his winnings In 1909 total no less than
12. 000.000.

HAMILTON, Oct. 28. At the conclusion
of a stormy session in the opera-iiouse
here tonight, during which charges and
counter-charge were hurled back and
forth between the friends of Edward N.
Barrlll and Frederick Prints and those
who declared they desired to see fair play
given Dr. Frederick A. Cook In the home
town of the guides, the audience adopted
by a large majority vote a resolution ex
pressing confidence in the veracity of
Barrlll and Printz, the resolution being
presented by City Attorney Wagner,
counsel for the guides. This resolution
was a substitute for one offered by J. H.
Durston. editor of the Anaconda Stand
ard, In which he sought to have the meet
ing declare a lack of faith on the part
of the entire people of Montana in all
matters about which Dr. Cook has made
claims.
Cook. Takes It Coolly.
While the action of the meeting was un
favorable to Dr. Cook, the explorer took
it coolly and calmly) and after the meet
ing evidenced no indication of having
taken the matter to heart at all. He eat
for a long time chatting pleasantly with
Interested listeners regarding his trip to
the Pole.
The excitement of the meeting did not
come until Dr. Cook had delivered a brief
lecture on Ws trip to the North Pole and
had delivered his supplementary speech
regarding the ascent of Mount McKlnley.
Durston Attacks Cook.
As soon as he had finished Mr. Cutch
fleld, counsel for Printi and Barrlll,
arose and challenged the statements of
Dr. Cook. This precipitated a discussion
and Mr. Durston offered his resolution
seeking to place the people of the state
on record as discrediting Dr. Cook in
every point of his claims. This caused
a furore. Attorney Roland White, of
San Francisco, who happened, to be in the
audience, arose, and, as a citizen, made
a plea for fair play. United States Sen
ator Joseph N. Dixon, of Montana, also
took the floor and urged that fair play
be accorded all parties to the contro
versy. Neither those who were opposed to
Dr. Cook nor his friends would accept
the Durston resolution and it was with
drawn by its author. Barrlll was called
upon and taking the platform, declared
that Dr. Cook's statements regarding the
Mount HcKinley affair were Incorrect.
Dr. Cook replied by asserting to Bar
rill'i face that the' latter's statements
were false.
Cook Takes Up Challenge.
The excitement at this point was in
tense. Women became excited and the
tension was almost at the breaking point.
Barrlll answered Dr. Cook's assertion by
demanding to know why the doctor did

Confirmation of Tennessee Judge to
Be Fought Keene-Harriman
Case Is Recalled. i
OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 28. Information received
from responsible sources in Tennessee
politics conveyed the intelligence today
that Judge H. H. Lurton. of the United
States Circuit Court. Is expected by his
friends to be appointed Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy
caused by Justice Peckham's death.
Acting on the assumption that the in
formation was correct, representatives in
Washington of progressive Republicans
began a study of Judge Lurton's record
today with a view of opposing his con
firmation in the Senate If -he should be
nominated by the President.
It was pointed out that Judge Lurton
had refused to grant an injunction to
the late James R Keene to prevent E.
H. Harriman from voting stock of the
Southern Pacific Railway, which be
longed to the Union Pacific Railroad, its
competing line, on the ground that the
Sherman anti-trust law did not contem
plate such a procedure.
Judge Lurton was among the first to
hold the employers' liability law uncon
stitutional. Judge Lurton sat on the same judicial
bench with Mr. Taft and was the latter's
choice for the vacancy that was later
filled by the appointmet of William H.
Moody, of Massachusetts.
Mr. Taft was Secretary of War when
he recommended Mr. Lurton to Presi
dent Roosevelt and was, it is said, very
much disappointed when nis old asso
ciate and intimate friend was not ap
pointed. Mr. Lurton is now about 62
years of age and would have 10 years
to serve before retirement.

uncanny presence which from 1:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon until 5:30 o'clock
whisked everything movable as tf it were

owner of the house, accepts the occult
theory and has warned his tenants to
find another home for the lad or vacate

Whatever the cause of the most odd
doings in the Marshall-street home, they
happened. That's all there Is to it. It
was not necessary to rely solely on the
word of the occupants, who, strangely,
throughout it all, did not gape in wonder
or take the precaution to step out of the
way of things that were hurled and

Exerted by no Visible power a six

sofa snug against the wall moved from
Its place and careened on 'Its side. The

spasm and turned almost completely
around, stopping at 2:50 o'clock. Dishes
