1oIutfOHI or c0ntlBuancb Oi tne tflphrtl
pool, out of the organization Of which
the present condition Of affairs is sup.
posed to have sprung. One of the pre-.
negatives Of the tripartite arrangement is
that roads east OF the Missouri river
should make all through rates to Colo
RADIO and California points when asked
to join in the formation Of a trans.
Missourian poll. The Atchison,
Topeka 4 Santa Fe Company de-
clined to do 50 as long as
the triparite agreement given roads
east of the Missouri river was al
lowed to continue. At io-day's session
the continuance Of the triparite was not
discussed. A plan was proposed. how
ever, which was adopted unanimously,
and which will be reported to the gem
eral meeting tomorrow. The plan is in
the rough, and was not even placed In
the form Of a resolution. 1t proposes the
formation of pools on the California and
Colorado business, two east and two
west of the Missouri river, the former to
include all the Omaha and southwestern
lines, and the latter including the Bur-
lington, Santa Fe and Union Pacific
roads. 1t is provided that there shall be
four commissioDerships and that con-
ference committee consisting OF members
Of all four of the pools shall be ap-
pointed to arbitrate any difficulty affect
ing the roads both East and West of the
Missouri river. A resolution to clothe
this committee with power was defeated,
and the committee is to serve only in an
advisory capacity. The proposition by
the Union Pacific and Rock Island to
recognize the tripartits pool was opposed
by the Burlington, Northwestern and
Santa Fe, and the matter was dropped
without action. As to the probability
Of ths adoption of the plan outlined at
the general meeting tomorrow it Is a
matter OF considerable doubt, owing to
the failure to take any definite action as
to the continuance Of the tiipai tite agree
ment. Prominent officials OF the two
roa1s declared that until that matter
had been finally decided and the tri.
partite dissolved, the formation Of new
pool vas purely conjectural.
Merosini's Daughter.
New YORK, Sept. l5.-Morosini who

her brothers, had indeed remarked she
did not care Il they all died. He avoid
ed meeting her. He had hoped she
would return repentani, but she cared
for nothing in tho world except that man
whom she married. She was complete.
ly changed from the dutiful, affection
ate, religious girl she was before she
went away. The change in her was SO
great that he had recovered from his
grief and was now willing to forget her.
She could go her own way an! go her
own course. Sine was irredeemably lost
to ali sense Of propriety and 10 her
family. There was no possibility OF
reconciliation.
