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

CONVICTION.
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

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.

nounced the completion of the
formation of a new cabinet, which

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

SEAT ANOTHER DAY
Resignation Not Presented
to Senate Convening.
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.

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."
