COURT CONSIDERS
UNMERGING PLANS
Attorney-General Opposes Fur
ther Delay Asked For by
Union Pacific.
MARKET IS DISREGARDED
-MclJcjnolds Says Any Loss Incurred
by Railroad Will Be Result of
Own Remissness Exchange
Willi Pcnnsy Asked.
ST. PAUL, June 1 :. Attorney-General
McRcynolds served notice today
tliat the Government was opposed to
Riving the Union Pacific Railroad any
further extension of tune within which
to dispose of its noldings of Southern
Pacific stock, as ordered by the Su
preme Court.
In doing- so he made known to the
1 atlroad attorneys and to United States
Circuit Judges Sanborn, Hook and
Smith, at a hearing; in the dissolution
- proceedings, his objections to the two
latest plans proposed by the railroad
for getting- rid of its 1126,650,000 worth
of Southern Pacific stock.
Mr. McReynolds declared that he
f-ould see no objection to the proposed
exchange by the railroad of 138,000.000
worth of Its Southern Pacific stock (a
little less than one-third of Its total
holdings), for 121,000.000 worth of Bal
timore & Ohio stock, held by the Penn
sylvania Railroad. He asked the court
Cor a brief time, however, within which
to Investigate the stockholdings of the
various railroads involved.
I'ermlt for Eirhange Asked.
Permission to make this exchange
was sought by the railroad In a sup
plemental plan of dissolution filed to
day. After hearing lengthy arguments on
both sides, the court took the matter
under advisement. No intimation was
jrlven whether either or both of the
plans submitted. Involving a year's de
lay, would be approved or whether the
ourt would follow the Attorney-General's
suggestion and attempt to dis
pose of the stock Itself through the
medium of a receiver.
"We are anxious to comply with the
mandate of the Supreme Court and dis
pose of our Southern Pacific holdings,
but we are unwilling to sell it for the
price we could get In the present state
of the market." Chairman Lovett, of
the Union Pacific board, told the court.
McReynolds Opposes Delay.
"The Supreme Court ordered the
Inion Pacific to relinquish Its South
ern Pacific stock by July 1." responded
Attorney-General Mclteynolds. "That
time practically has arrived and the
I nion Pacific has not complied with
the mandate. The time has come for
this court to take this matter In hand
nd order something done. If loss is
incurred by the immediate sale of the
stock It will be as the result of wrong
ful action on the part of the raljroad."
In his statement to the court Mr.
McReynolds declared he had been hope
ful that the financial Interests would
set together and arrange an exchange
of stock -whereby the Union Pacific
would acquire the Central Pacific,
which runs from Ogden to Sacramento,
in return for Us Southern Pacific
Mock. Failure to negotiate such a
deal, he said, left the Government with
no alternative but to institute an ex
pensive litigation against the Southern
Pacific to compel it to relinquish its
i ontrol of the Central Pacific.
The two plans proposed by the rail
road were explained to the court by
N. H. Loomis. of Omaha, assistant to
Judge L.ovett. He thought the rail
road should have a year to carry them
out. if approved.
.oo,l Kaftb I Asserted.
In discussion of the primary plan
providing for the sale of the stock by
public subscription through a syndi
cate. Judge Smith asked the railroad
lawyer what there was to prevent the
syndicate from fixing a prohibitive
price on the stock, thus preventing
popular sale and thereby leaving con
trol of the Southern Pacific, in the
lisnds of the l"nion Pacific.
Mr. Loomis protested that the rail
road was acting in good faith and de
ured no prohibitive price placed on
t tie strw-k. Ho agreetl. however, with
Judge Smith's suggestion that the
. ourt should fix a maximum for the
minimum prim provided the figure was
not below pRr.

ZURICH, Switzerland. June 12. EU
Cne Maggl and his wife, believed to
jeieve
be the wealthiest persons in Switzer
land, committed suicide today, being
actuated by sheer lack of interest in
life.
Eugene Maggl was only 41 years old
and his wife 35. The Joint estates of
the man and wife were estimated some
time ago at J10.000.000, while quite re
cently Maggl inherited a large Income.
The couple had been married for a
number of years, but were greatly dis
appointed by . their childless union.
Last night, in a fit of despondency,
they decided to end their Uvea. They
retired to their bedroom, turned on the
gas and were found dead in the morn
ing. Eugene Maggl was the owner of
extensive Hour mills In Zurich and
other parts of Switzerland and had
many other widespread interests. His
wife was the daughter of his dead
cousin, Julius Maggi, who was the

SALOON CASE IS WATCHED
miction Souglit Against Third
Barroom in Dallas. Or.
DALLAS. Or., June 12. (Special.)
The injunction proceedings against the
opening of a third saloon in this city
occupy the limelight. Each step is
being watched closely by Dallas citi
zens. The last step was taken Sun
day, when Attorneys Coad and Hol-
man. representing the city, and District
Attorney Upjohn, fortfled with affi
davits, invaded Tillamook, and pre
vailed upon th a newly-appointed judge
or this district. V ebster Holmes, to
hold court in this ci ty tomorrow for
the purpose of hearing a motion to
dissolve the injunction. There is
question as to the legality of such a
proceeding, owing to the fact that the
first term of court in this county under
the new law creating the new district
is m August of this year.

marriage to Miss Newcomb was polyg
amous. The loyal backing given the prisoner
by the woman yesterday was arrived
at only af ter many waverings, in
which a.t times Mrs. Morrow, on show
ings that Von Klein had deceived her,
declared her intention of abandoning
the fight, but each time she relented
and returned to his side. Once it was
shown her that a woman in Little
Rock. Ark., supposed to be Mrs,
Temple, one of his alleged victims, had
sent him $100 since his arrival here.
At this Mrs. Morrow decided to throw
up the fight, but soon she changed her
mind again, and announced that she
would remain his friend.
As the aggregate bond for the pris
oner is now $10,000 cash, and her own
is $2000 and she is reported to have
but $5000 here, present release of the
prisoner is unlikely. The grand Jury
probably will take up the case next
week.

of Copies of Arguments
on Tariff Topics.
WASHINGTON. June 12. How the
Government Printing Office and the
Postcffice Department helped in the
fight against free sugar and the Con
gressional frank sent tons of anti-free
sugar literature circulating throughout
the land, was brought out today by the
Senate lobby investigation.
Truman O. Palmer, Washington rep
resentative of the United States beet
sugar industry, was on the stand the
entire jay, and as the subject of a
sweeping cross-examination testified
that more than 1,500.000 copies of argu
ments in behalf of beet sugar had been
turned out by the Government Printing
Office, made public documents by order
of Congress, and had ridden on the
franks of Senators and Representatives
to the ends of the country, postage free.
sugar at a Ulance, prepared bv him.
he said, had attained a circulation of
320.000 copies under the frank of Sena
tor Lodge. "Report of the Finance
Committee," by the same Senator, had
beaten the pamphlet by 80,000 copies.
Free Postage Big Saving.
The franks of Senator Smoot. ex-
Senators Curtis and Dick and the late
Representative Malby, ex-Representative
Pickett and Representative Martin
had swelled the total to more than 1,600.
000. The printing of some of this mat
ter had been paid by the beet sugar
people, the witness said, but the free
postage had saved them about $28,000.
Mr. Palmer developed that "Suirar at
a Second Glance," which he intimated
was Inspired by the Federal Sugar Re
fining Company, and which was an
argument In behalf of free sugar, also
had been printed as a public document
and circulated under the franking privi
lege, ne ara not say. nor did the com
mittee ask, whose frank was so used.
Mr. Palmer said that the beet men
had spent about $160,000 In their cam
paign against free suear Eincp 1302
About $50,000 had been used since last
November and about $14,000 of that
amount since the beginning of the pres
ent congressional session. Much of it
had been spent in "publicity work" in
printing, salaries and a good-sized sum
in motion pictures. He said the best
producers In the association were as
sessed about 5 cents a ton. The last
assessment was made in April, bringing
in aoout $18,000, and the previous one
in reDruary, about $17,000.
Assessment. Cover Needs.
"When did you make these assess
ments, asked Senator Reed.
"When we needed the money."
Much of. the day was spent by the
committee in trying to find out all the
uetaus 01 now "Sugar at a Glance'
came to be printed as a public docu
ment. Although Mr. Palmer was grilled
for three hours on practically nothing
else, when he left the stand committee
men said they were about as much in
the dark as they were when the pamph
let was first mentioned.
Palmer said that when Senator Lodge
made a speech on sugar in July, 1912,
the charts subsequently used in the
pamphlet were on the walls of the Sen
ate chamber. Senator Lodge secured
the permission of the Senate to have
them printed as a public document. Ac
companying these charts. Mr. Palmer
declared, were certain printed sheets
containing sugar information. Ques
tioned by members of the committee,
the witness said that after the charts
had been sqnt to the Government print
ing office and proofs in black and white
had been made of them, he had discov
ered that they were not suitable for
publication. He had therefore sent them
to a private printing concern and had
them prepared In a fashion he thought
suitable.
Private rony Substituted.
This, he maintained, was done with
the knowledge of Senator Lodge, and
he considered that he was acting for
the Senator.
Members of the committee express
surprise that anyone should in any way
change something authorized to be
printed by the Senate. They developed
that the permission was secured by
Senator Lodge for printing on July 27.
and that one of several Issues of "Sugar
at a Glance" referred to an order of
the Senate on August 1 in the same
matter.
The second order referred to data pre
pared by Truman Q-. Palmer' and pur
ported to he signed by Charles G. Ben
nett, then secretary of the Senate. Mr.
Palmer said he supposed that the order
had been made and that lie got the
proofs of the chart from the printing
office. The Congressional Record of
August 1. according to Senator' Cum
mins, showed no such order nor did the
Journal of the Senate nor the files in its
document room.
'You substituted at the Government
printing office for the document you
received from the clerk of the Senate
this privately printed copy?" said Sen
ator Reed.
"I don't think that is a fair state
ment," said Palmer. "There was no
subterfuge; there was nothing under
handed. No one was deceived. All was
open and above board."
Cummins Wants Details.
"I want to find out about this." said
Senator Cummins. "It Is a rather seri
ous matter to forge a signature of the
secretary of the Senate to an order that
never was made."
The committee finally dropped the
question with the expressed determina
tion to pursue it further and investi
gate books and records of every sort to
get the information they seek. Senator
Lodge will be heard in explanation if
he desires to appear.
Mr. Palmer became indignant before
he left the stand at Senator Reed's ef
forts to find out everything done by the
beet sugar men in Washington. He said
he supposed they talked with Senators
and Congressmen.
"I don't think business men are
barred from the city of Washington," he
added. "There Is nothing disreputable
in talking to Senators and Representa
tives. They don't live in glass houses.
I have been free to tell them what I
thought and to try to convert them and
prevent the ruin which I believe will
result to the beet industry from the bill
in Congress."
Mr. Palmer's examinaion will con
tinue Tomorrow.

Shampoo either a dry. Itchy scalp,

COURT NOT TO STARVE'
NEW LEASE WILL BE GIVEN
COMMERCE TRIBUNAL.
Pending Settlement of Fate by Con
gress, Appropriation for Sal
aries Will Be Made.
WASHINGTON, June 12. The Com
merce Court, for which no appropria
tion has been made for the coming
fiscal year, will bo continued until
the next session of Congress unless
the Democratic caucus of the House
to be held June 16 decrees otherwise.
This programme was agreed on at a
conference today between Represen
tatives Broussard, of Louisiana, chair
man of the court; Fitzgerald, chair
man of the House committee on ap
propriations; Clayton, chairman of the
House committee on the judiciary;
Sims, of Tennessee, author of the bill
to abolish the court, and Assistant
Attorney-General Denison.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he did not favor
"starving" the court pending a settle
ment of the efforts to abolish it. and
unless some final action was agreed
on by the House he was willing to
report an appropriation to continue its
existence until the December session.
This would involve an item of approx
imately $30,000 to cover the salaries of
the judges and employes and other
regular expenses.
The judiciary committee probably
will hold hearings soon on the Sims
bill and on a measure introduced by
Representative Broussard which would
make the Commerce Court the Supreme
Court in bankruptcy matters and in
cases arising from the Philippines.
