THE 'MORNING ' -OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1923 IKIEM1D M mm Continuation of Present Re lations Is Desired. ROAD'S HISTORY TRACED Great Northern Held to Have Es tablished Claim to Burlington Traffic Interchange. THE OREGONI AX NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, D. C. Nov. 20 The Great Northern railroad, through President Ralph Budd, president, and Louis W. Hill, chairman of the board of directors, grave further testimony today before Commis sioner Hall of the interstate com merce commission in favor of re taining the present relations be tween the Great Northern and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail roads in any plan of Sonsofidation agreed upon by the commission. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Is agreeable to the present tentative plan of the commission to Join it with the Great Northern, or Btands ready to accept a grouping putting it with the Northern Pa cific, President H. E. Byram as serted in answer to questions by Commissioner Hall and Professor W'illiam'Z. Ripley, who framed the commission's original consolidation plaiv Northern Pacific officials did not go on the witness stand, but it is understood that President Donnelly and other officials of that J-oad will, at later hearings to be held out side Washington, combat the argu ments of Great Northern officials in favor of having the Northern Pa cific substituted for the Great Northern in the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul combination. This after noon's session ended the hearings on this question in Washington. Later hearings may be held at the twin cities or elsewhere on lines of the railroads involved. Railroad Hlntory Traced. Louis W. Hill traced the history of the Great Northern from , the time in 1879 when his father put the original mileage of this line on the map as the St. Paul. Minne apolis & Manitoba railroad. In 1885, be said, 1400 miles had been constructed and the line which later became known as the Great Northern was being stretched to ward the Pacific coast, which al ready had been reached by the Northern Pacific. It was In 1885, Mr. Hill asserted, that his father began to see the importance" of linking his road with the Burlington as a means of estab lishing a traffic interchange much jieeded. At the time, he said, Presi dent Forbes of the Burlington awakened to the necessity rf mak ing a connection with St. Paul and with some road that would afford an outlet to the Pacific. With all this in view, Mr. Hill said, Mr. Forbes and tome of his associates had already become interested in the Manitoba road, two or three of them being directors in J. J. Hill's company and one of them a member of the executive committee. About ,this time, the witness pointed out, J. J. Hill also acquired a substantial interest in the Chi cago, Burlington & Northern rail road and became interested in the elf-sires of the latter road' to build into St. Paul. Vice-President Tou salin of the Burlington, he said, was assigned to take charge of the building of the line into St. Paul, and the relationship between J. J. Hill and Burlintrton officials was so close that Mr. Tousalin lived at the Hill home while the connecting line was under consideration. Claim Held Established, It was by an arrangement be tween J. J. Hill and Mr. Tousalin that the Burlington became a joint, user of the Manitoba, or Great Northern, terminal facilities at St. Paul and Minneapolis and the Great Northern tracks between the twin cities, the witness said. All the tes timony was for the purpose of Knowing that the Great Northern established a claim to Burlington traffic interchange long before any contract was made between the Bur lington and Northern Pacific. L. W. Hill told then of his father's acquisition of stock' in the North ern Pacific at a time when its se curities were low, and declared that he was responsible for the. pur chase of the Burlington by the two Northerns in 1901. Certain interests had favored the purchase of the Chicago, Burlington & St. Paul in stead, but J. J. Hill's Judgment pre vailed, and the Burlington was taken over. Credit also was given to his father by Mr. Hill for the develop ment of extensive coal fields by the Burlington in southern Illinois ltd the construction of a BurlinstS line, which has sines delivered to .the Great Northern road the most of the company's fuel. - St. Paul Chief Agreeable. President Byram of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul' was one of the most agreeable witnesses to be Imagined. He said he came to help the commission, not to hinder. He - said his company was favorable to the commission's plan, which would combine the St. Paul and Great Northern and would Just as readily accept a plan uniting his road with the Northern Pacific. . He suggested, however, that if any further consolidations were contemplated his road would wel oornp a combination with the Union KOWTt UMI.S MX SHOES COMFORTABLE .

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 20. Passing of sentence upon Mrs. Clara Phillips, convicted of murder in the second degree for the slaying of Mrs. Alberta Meadows with a hammer, was continued this morning" until next Thursday when the case was called in the Los Angeles superior court. Bertram Herrington, attorney for Mrs. Phillips, moved a new trial and asked time to prepare his argument. -. .. . . . Pacific. He pointed out that the St. Paul makes contact at five points, using the same depots and terminal facilities. These places are Omaha, Kansas City, Butte, Spokane and Seattle. Besides this, he said the two roads were using the same tracks at several points, as for ex ample between Seattle and Tacoma and over the Grays Harbor branch, which has its' terminus at Hoquiam, Wash. A combination between the St. ' Paul and Union Pacific would not make an excessive mileage, he said, because the 'total would be only about 20.000 miles. As to the Northern Pacific com bination, he said it would not be practicable, as some had suggested, to use the two roads where they parallel as one double-track line be cause the parallel tracks are mostly at points where the St. Paul is electrified. ItosKible Economy Shown. 'resident Budd of the Great Northern, who is resisting the sep aration of the Great Northern and Burlington and urging that if the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific must be separated'-the Northern Pacific should be the road to be linked with the St. Paul, said there were several places where a combi nation of Northern Pacific and St. Paul lines would effect economy in operation. One place, he said, is across the mountains, where both roads could use the electrified stretches of the St. Paul where the facilities are far in excess of the St. Paul's present needs on ac count of greatly increased capacity brought about by electrification over steam lines. Also he said n siderable economy could be effected by the use of a common line for the two roads across the entire state of Washington. No date has been set for the re sumption of the hearings.

BY LARRY RUE. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. Cjp right.' 191'. by the Chicago Tribune.) BERLIN. Nov. 20. With the ex ception of the foreign affairs port folio, Wilhelm Cuno tonight an nounced the completion of the formation of a new cabinet, which will be submitted to- President Kbert tomorrow and to the reichs tag Thursday. It is clearly a bour geoisie government in fact; to the extent where the central party (Dr. Joseph Wirth's) has permitted the participation of Herr Hermes on the understanding that it is a super cabinet. , Herr Cuno reiterated the state ment that the cabinet programme is based upon the note to the repa rations commission on. November 13. Hence, the refusal of the repara tions commission to accept the pro gramme - of reparations as defined therein is expected to precipitate another crisis. - ' 1 The cabinet is as follows; Minister of finance. Herr Hermes. Minister of the interior, Herr Kar dorf. industrialist. Minister of the treasury, Herr Hamm, of the Bavarian party. Minister of national traffic, Herr Ceser, democrat. .-. Minister of economics, Herr Rau mer. industrialist. Minister of public works, Dr. Braun. . , Minister q war, Herr Gessler, democrat, a former member of Dr. Wirth's cabinet.

HULL SEES CONFESSION President Complimented on The ory He Had Hand in Bring . ins About Withdrawal. WASHINGTON," D. C, Nov. 20. The resignation of' Senator Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan,, the cent ral figure of a -long and bitter sen ate controversy will become effec tive tomor.ow. Vice-president Cool Jdge was unahle at today's brief session to present Senator New berry'? letter of resignation and the Michigan ' senator's name remained temporarily on the rolls. r -. Cordell Hull, chairman of. the democratic national committee, in a statement today said: "The first fruits of the recent nation-wide democratic victory at the polls are seen in the resigna tion of Truman H. Newberry, which amounts to a confession of moral guilt of the offense charged.'. "If Senator Newberry's resigna tion," he added, "is the result of administrative pressure and advice, the president has made a good be ginning and is to be! complimented therefor. It would be evident that he. at last, understands that New berry and Newberryism were re pudiated utterly by the people on November 7, last. . ""In whatever degree, if any. Pres ident Harding is responsible for Newberry's resignation, the credit is largely nullified by his insist ence on the ship bonus bill. The ship bonus bill and the Fordney McCumber tariff were as utterly re pudiated at the polls November 7, as Newberryism. There is as yet no evidence that the administra tion has learned this factor and in tends to profit by it, but there is the possibility and the hope that the assembled members of congress who , have just returned from per sonal contact with their constitu ents In the campaign have learned this fact and will act upon it ac cordingly. Lackerism is no less ob noxious than Newberryism." IOZEN NAMES SUGGESTED No Figurehead to Be Appointed to Succeed Xewberry. DETROIT, Nov. 20. Senatorial qualifications of no fewer than a dozen men prominent in . the public life of Michigan were being scanned today by Alex J. Groesbeek, gover nor, seeking a successor to Truman H. Newberry, who Sunday tendered his resignation as senator from this state. . . The .governor meanwhile said he intended to withhold a decision until .all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard and that he did not -propose to have Michigan represented in the upper house of congress by a "figurehead." In these words the governor took occasion to put at rest reports that he might appoint some one who could be counted upon not to seek re-election in 1924, so that the chief executive then could make the race for senatorial .honors. ' - Although the governor declined even to intimate who had been under consideration already for Mr.-' New berry's seat, the names most promi nently heard today w-ere those of Charles B. Warren, at present American ambassador to Japan; William Alden Smith of . Grand Rapids, ex-senator; , W. W. Potter, state fuel administrator, and John S. Haggerty, Wayne county repub lican leader. Later today another name was advanced, that of Marion Leroy Burton, president of the Uni versity of Michigan. James Couzens, mayor of Detroit; also was drawn into the speculation.

Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co. . j TlKer Chats With Host. Colonel Bonsai had exacted prom ises on both sides that there would be no handsnaking at this function. But neither the Tiger nor the so ciety members could be restrained, for M. Clemenceau shook hands all around with something less than 75 persons. - He made no formal remarks, but chatted with many of his hosts, whose number included E. II. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation; John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Elihu Root and Chauncey M. Depew. . "Who Is that?'Vthe Tiger asked as he shook Mr. Depew's hand. "Why, that is Chauncey Depew," he was told. - : : The Frenchman threw both hands above his head, an eloquent gesture of surrender, and exclaimed: "Why, I'm a babe." The two aged statesmen indulged for several minutes in reminiscences' of the old days. - , Dr. Francis Leclercq. a physi cian, who came to renew his ac quaintanceship with Clemenceau be gun in Paris years ago. heard the Tiger's first growl today. When Dr. Leclercq began to tell him of some new medical discoveries which might lead to the indefinite pro longation of human life, Clemenceau said: ii "You keep quiet about that. Otherwise I will kill you. Cure the snakes, the dogs and the cats. That's alj right. -But leave human beings alone.. Let them die happy." Canada Visit Declined. Clemenceau declined an invitation to visit. Canada proffered to him by W. j. Morton, a CanadiSn'journalist. Clemenceau was persuaded to permit two medical men to give him a thorough overhauling. After the examination -they pronounced the vigorous old tiger fit as a man of 50. The war' premier of France de cided to place himself in the hjinds of members of his own profession after he ;had loosed some growls at doctors in general. . . When M. Clemenceau left the home of Charles Dana Gibson, where he is staying, to visit the specialists, he and his escort entered an automobile standing in front of the house, supposing It belonged to their, host. It was the car of Miss Anne Morgan, who, with Mrs. A. M. Dyke, representing the American committee for the restoration of devastated France, had paid an early call on the tiger. Tiger Seeks to Pay for Tail. Miss Morgan, who followed Clem enceau down the steps, refused to permit him to" get jput. "But what are we going to do with the ladies?" M. Clemenceau atked. "Oh, never mind the ladies," Misa Morgan remarked. "We'll take a taxi." "But if you take a taxi, I insist on paying for it," the Tiger said. "All right," replied the daughter of J. P. Morgan, entering a taxi, '.'I'll see you get the bill." As the Tiger entered the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton for the lunch eon he came face to face with Mile. Creile Sorel, the French actress, who is at the head of a company making a tour of this country. Mile. Sorel rushed up to Clemenceau, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. . "I didn't know you were living here," Clemenceau said, smiling, when he had recovered. "For such a reception as this I would come here every day."
