ges in the presidents report in regard to
Justification of car accounts and fraudu-
lent management of the New England
Terminal company be referred to a spec
ial committee to report at an adjourned
meeting. He also moved for stock vote
on the motion.
Vice President Prince declared that
Brandies' motion and suits Of Goldsmith
& Co. were for the purpose of Gripping
the New York & New England road in
the interest of other roads.
Finally after an extended discussion
motion was made that Mr.. Parsons re-
port and Brandeis' motion be laid on the
table and the meeting proceeded to a
stock vote on the motion. The motion
prevailed, 142, ST. to 1858.
Brandeis then made motion reciting
in detail the alleged questionable transac-
tions outlined in his previous motion and
calling for the appointment of special
committee consisting of three stock
holders, not officers or directors, to in
yestigate these transactions and to sub
nit to the stockholders at the adjourn
ment of this meeting the result OF such in
vestigation, together with their recon-
mendations thereon.
An amendment offered to Brandeis' last
resolution was carried, that the next
meeting be called by the president instead
of a special committee, and the resolution
as amended was adopted. 1t was then
voted TO elect directors by a stock vote,
and the polls were declared open for one
hour, with a certainty that the fight was
over.
The Mcleod ticket was elected. This
ticket was made up of Mcleod, of
Philadelphia, Thomas G. Platt, of New
York, and their friends, mostly New
York and Philadelphia men, though it
includes number of New England cap
italists, and James w. Doan, of Chicago.

The Bold Burglars Get Away With Over
5000 Worth of Jewelry.
The bishop storehouse, located in the
middle of the tithing house block, was
broken open by burglars between u and
O'Clock this morning and jewelry taken
of the estimated value CT between $500 and
200.
Night Waterman John Walsh, who
was on duty on the premises, made his
Regular round at II O'Clock. The
thieves, who must have entered the
block from the north side, were evidently
On the watch, and commenced their opeT-
ations as soon as the Waterman disap-
peared. The lock OF the door
was broken with a crowbar, and
the robbers proceeded to help
themselves from the contents of d drawer
Df jewelry. The articles taken included
one gold and several silver watches, gold
pieces of iewelry, estimated to be worth
between 5000 and 500.
The robbery was not discovered until
the Waterman again visited the house,
about l O'Clock. The gas, which he had
LIFT burning, had not been disturbed
aud nothing had been touched
except the contents of one drawer. A
linen cloth, which had been used to cover
up show case, Wa missing, and the
thieves probably used this to carry off
their plumber.
The police were notified, came up and
looked the ground over, but the thieves
are still st large.

RAILWAY GOSSIP.
The New Transcontinental Association
Fills Long Felt Want.
The Rate Question Was in Demoralized
Condition = Oregon Short Line
Election Today-Notes.

The organization of the new Transcon-
tinental Passenger association is hailed
with pleasure by the western roads.
Since the old organization went to the
wall on December 81, the only possibility
of avoiding wars has been an association
where questions of common interest
could be decided. Since the collapse Of
the old organization the transcontinental
rate situation has been going from bad
to worse and there are now noyrates in the
territory of the transcontinental lines
which are absolutely maintained and cut
rates have even been obtained
over the railroad company's own
counters. The Union Pacific is
focking in a class by itself there being
mutual boycott between it and the At
Gibson, Burlington, Rock Island, Denver
& Rio Grande, Midland and Western.
The Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
are said to be at swords points
over rates to Puget Sound points, and
smaller quarrels are complicating affairs
more and more. The new Transconti-
mental Passenger association ought to
become very strong because of all this.

THE M'WHlRTER MURDER.
Interest in the Fresno Tragedy Revived
BY an Arrest.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Richard
Heath, son of the late General Heath,
has been arrested for the murder of Louis
McWhirter in Fresno, last August.
Fred W. Policy is in jail in Fresno for
vagrancy, charged with the same crime.
McWhirter took a prominent part in
Fresno politics and made many enemies.
His life was threatened and he took out
$50, 900 life insurance. On the the night
of August %, McWhirter, aroused by a
noise in the back yard of his home, went
partially dressed, revolver in hand, to
investigate. A succession of pistol shots
followed, and McWhirter was found in
the yard with a bullet in his heart. Two
heavy clubs indicated that there were two
assassins. The insurance companies be-
lieved he committed suicide, and refused
to pay the policies. The tragedy created
a sensation throughout the state.
When taken into custody Heath in
timated that he expected it, but declared
he could prove an alibi; that ne went to
bed in the Grand Central hotel at Fresno
at II o clock on the night of the murder,
and was asleep at the time it occurred.
He declares he was McWhirter's friend,
and advances the theory that McWhirter
was killed by mistake. During the cam
paign McWhirter brought Joseph E.
Baker, a well known newspaper writer,
to Fresno to conduct a newspaper in the
interest of the McWhirter faction of the
Democratic party. Baker by his writ
ings incurred Heath's enmity, and Heath
went around with a revolver to kill him.
McWhirter and family went to the noun
tains leaving Baker in his house, and re-
turning few days before the murder.
The theory is that Heath, not knowing of
the return, went to McWhirter's house to
kill Baker, but instead killed McWhirter.
Crittenden Thornton, Mrs. McWhir-
ter's attorney, said he was not surprised
at the arrest of Heath and Polly. He
said: These men are but catspaws of
others more powerful, and l expect to see
political and financial regulations in this
state shattered in very short time.

been in the woman's company but denied
the robbery, and claimed to be victim of
a new conspiracy. While Dunnivant was
in the penitentiary before, Potter s
daughter contracted three marriages, the
first with julius Clarke Daniels.
Immediately after the ceremony the
parties returned to their respective homes,
and in the interim Potter's daughter con-
tracted marriage with Flee Rust, son of
a wealthy lumber merchant of Eau Claire,
Wis. Rust's father began proceedings to
set aside the marriage on the ground that
his son was a minor at the time OF the
ceremony. The decree was duly granted,
and then in order that there might be no
doubt as to the legality of Miss PotteHs
union with Daniels, it was decided to have
another ceremony performed, which was
duly done.

sA11NA, Kas., March 14.-only meagre

DID BUSINESS AS USUAL.
The Bank Removes to the First National
Building.

The Bank Removes to the First National
Binding.
F. s. Richards, who is one of the
directors of the Utah Loan and Trust COM
pany, and also OF the Ogden Investment
company, came from Salt Lake city on
the morning train, and, with his as
sociate directors, was busy ali day devils
ing plans Tor the repair OF the building at
the earliest possible date. When in
terrogated on the subject, Mr.. Richards
said that it was a great surprise to the
officers OF the company that so much
damage could result from a fire starting
as this one did in the top OF the building.
Great care had been taken in the erection
of the building to make it as nearly fire.
proof as possible. There were fire plugs
and hose on each floor, with sufficient
capacity to put out any ordinary fire. He
said the company's loss was covered by
ats insurance, and that no injury would
result to the bank, except the incon-
Venience attending the repair OF the
building.
The bank opened in the First National
building and did business as usual yes
terday. Through the courtesy OF Mr..
II. c. Gilbert, manager of the electric
light company, it has secured the use,
temporarily, of the banking room form
erly occupied by the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank, No. 2,43S Washington
avenue, which viii be occupied for a
short time until they get back into their
own commodicus premises.
A generous feeling of sympathy for suf
ferers by the fire was manifested in all
quarters. The Ogden banks rendered the
use OF their banking rooms and money,
but no financial aid was needed, as the
bank saved all its money, securities, pa
pers and furniture.

The Raid on sugar Stocks.

NEW YORK, March 14.-President Hav-
emeyer, of the American Sugar company,
declared tonight that there was no truth,
SO far as he knew, in the story that some
preferred stockholders were about to ap-
ply for an injunction against the pay
ment of an extra 10 per cent. dividend on
the common stock. This story was the
reason assigned for the raid on the stock
in Wall street today. Havemeyer said he
knew absolutely no reason for the raid.

WASHINGTON, March "A. = Secretary
Smith received telegram late this after
noon from Arkansas City. Kan, signed
by delegation representing home
seekers on the border OF the Cherokee
strip strongly urging that the strip be
opened to settlement at the earliest posi-
bic moment and stating that there was
great restitution among these people.
The secretary replied that it was impos-
sible at this time to say when the strip
would be opened because certain pre-
liminaries required by the act providing
for opening the strip must first be com.
piled with; that the president appreciated
the situation and sympathized with the
people, but they must wait in patience
strip could be had.
