WASHINGTON, June 28. President
Wilson tonight, approved the plan ne
gotiated by Attorney-General McRey
nolds and the railroad attorneys for the
dissolution of the Union Pacific merger
under the Sherman anti-trust law, as
directed by the Supreme Court of the
United States, so as to avoid a receiv
ership for the great combination.
G. Carroll Todd, special assistant to
the Attorney-General, left tonight for
St. Paul to represent the Government
and to announce its approval of the
proposal when it is presented to the
United States Court there on Monday.
He was accompanied by H. W. Clarke,
of counsel for the railroad, who will
submit the plan to the court.
Approval Is Quallfled. "
The Government will qualify its ap
proval of the plan, it is said, by ask
ing the court to grant a reasonable
time'' within which the Attorney-Gen-,
eral may make objections to the pro-'
posal, if further study develops it will,
not meet the requirements of the;
Sherman law in all respects.
This latest attempt of the many
made to dismember the combination
provides for the disposition of the en
tire $126,650,000 of Southern Pacific
held by the Union Pacific While no
official announcement has been made,
it is understood the plan, as one step,
provides for the exchange of $38,292.
400 of Southern Pacific stock for the
Pennsylvania's holdings in the Balti

of the same value.

The remaining $88,357,600 of South

This new plan Is' somewhat similar
to one of the proposals submitted to
. the court a month ago, but it is said
to be more definite in form and sur-

going to Union Pacific shareholders or

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 28. Notwithstanding the
efforts of several Western Democrats
to induce the caucus today to place on
the free-list all woolen, cloths, clothing.
blankets and other manufactures of
wool, an overwhelming majority stood
out against this amendment and de
feated it.
The Western Senators urged that, in-
asmucn as raw wool is placed on the
free list, it would be only fair to the
woolgrowers. and the public generally
to place on the free list the manufac
tures of wool, which would really
eneflt the' consumer much more than
free raw wool.
The finance committee in opposing
the amendment made the astounding
admission that the Senate was in no
way responsible, for placing wool on
the free list; that wool and sugar had
been made free by the President and
House of Representatives, and that the
Senate was powerless to make any
change In those items. It declared
that, inasmuch as placing wool and
ugar on the free list would greatly
reduce revenues, it would not be safe
to make any reductions beyond these
already made by the finance com
mittee.
Lous of Revenue Feared.
The committee insisted that if manu
facturea of wool were placed on the
free list there would be a large deficit
the treasury, and for this reason
the committee and the caucus would
not accept the proposed amendment.
Senator Lane, of Oregon, was heartily
n favor of this amendment, and told
the caucus it should be adopted. Not
only, he said, would the amendment
give some real benefit to the consumer,
but it would place the woolgrower and
wool manufacturer on an equal footing
and he thought it should be done, for
the wool manufacturer had been em
ploying cheap labor, most of It foreign
he had been driving down the price
he had paid the- woolgrower for his
wool and had been arbitrarily fixing
his own price to the consumer, and he
thought it only Just that the amend
ment should be adopted in the interest
of equity and for the benefit of the
public
Lane Demands Economy.
Senator Lane further took occasion
to assure the caucus that it would not
have relieved the public of Its burden
by the reduction of the tariff, but
pointed out that in the future Congress
must be more economical In Its ap
propriations and must scrutinize more
carefully the estimates on which ap
propriations were based, since be en
tered the Senate, he said, he had
learned that much Government money
was being squandered through the
carelessness of Congress or through
its lack of good business methods. Fo
illustration, he said, 30 cents out of
every dollar appropriated for river and
harbor work was wasted because Con
gress made piecemeal appropriations
for big works, necessitating repeated
delays, as on the Celllo canal, all of
which meant great waste. - -
Senator Lane insistetd that the adop
tlon of business methods and rigid
economy would afford the people
greater relief than they would get from
the reductions In the tariff proposed
by the pending bill.
Sundries Schedule Reached.
The caucus also approved the silk
paper and flax schedule today, and to
night took up sundries and the free
list, to be followed on Monday by con-:
slderation of the administrative fea
tures and income tax section. .
The action of the committee in trans
ferring raw hemp, flax and Jute to the
free list was approved by the caucus
without discussion. The committee
changes in the silk schedule, substitut
ing specific for ad valorem rates, also
were approved, and no changes were
made in the paper schedule, print paper
valued at not more than 2 cents a
pound being left on the unrestricted
free list, as in the bill which passed
the House.
Senator Simmons tonight declared
the caucus had at last shown a disposi
tion to hasten its work, and he believed
the bill could be completed by Monday
night, or Tuesday at the latest,, al
though considerable difference of opin
ion is expected when the Income tax

Jurisdiction Retained and if Stand'
ard Violates Law Summary
Action Will Be Taken.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. June 28.
The Missouri Supreme Court announced
today a decision allowing the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, which had
been ousted from the state, to continue
business in Missouri.
The decision does not revoke the
order of ouster, issued some time ago
as a result of proceedings instituted
by the state under the anti-trust law,
but merely suspends the order for so
long a time as the company complies
with the laws of the state.
The suspension of the ouster was
made after evidence had been taken
before a special commissioner to sus
tain the contention of the company that
it no longer had & monopoly of the oil
business of the state.
The decision suspending the ouster
provides that the Supreme Court shall
retain Jurisdiction of the case; that the
Attorney-General, if the company
violates the anti-trust law, may move
to vacate the suspension of the ouster
and that independent of the Attorney
General, the court may order evidence
to be taken to ascertain whether the
company is complying with the laws.
