AFTER TWO BIG FEEDERS
Struggle for the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern
Receiverships.
INTEREST ON MORTGAGES DUE.
American Loan Company for
the Control.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, June s.-The Ore
gon Short Line and Utah Northern re-
ownership Gaze came up before Judge Mer-
rift this morning. Distinguished lawyers
were present for both sides Of the case.
Mr.. Storey, for the American Loan and
Trust Company, opened the proceedings
by reciting the story of the now notable
case. He said the interest on the mort
gage was in default and the traffic contract
having been broken By the Union Pacific
it had no claim, therefore the loan and
trust company demaded its rights under
the mortgage. II was wrong TO place both
interests, which were adverse to each
other, In the same hands. The loan COM
pany offered to pay the interest on the
first mortgage and asked the termination
Of the Union Pacific receivership.
Senator Thurston said: " We are will
ing If you pay, but you ask the court to
raise the money by receivers certificates. I"
Storey said they only asked the right TO
pay it out OF their own property.
Judge Merritt made several inquiries as
TO the intention to leave the Utah South
ern extension and was informed that
such was not the intention, but there was
no direct assurance that the loan and
trust company would take that extension.
Attorney Sanborn, representing the first
mortgage bondholders, argued against the
separate reeeivership. He said the larger
interest was in behalf of those who ask
for the retention of the five receivers now
in charge Of the Union Pacific. II the
loan company would pay the first mort
gage defaulting interest then il would
have right to ask for separate receiver.
but they do not pay the interest. and in
asking for the issue OF receivers GER
tificates for that purpose they practically
ask the court to borrow the money.
Mr.. Hall followed in the interest of the
Oregon Short Line Company. He OBJ
jected to the issue of receivers certificates,
and claimed that only a portion OF the
road was TO be taken, as agreed upon with
the loan company, and ii was an effort 10
dismember the road and increase the in
debtedness OF the Short Line
?. l. Williams, representing the Union
Pacific and the local stockholders, said
that il receiver was appointed ii should
be stipulated that the entire road should
be taken, and that the receiver should be
some man who was acquainted with all the
interests
Attorney Marshall, for the loan and
trust company, said the suit by which the
five receivers were appointed was a col
lusiTe suit, and the parties did not repre-
sent any of the creditors OF the Union
Pacific. He urged that the claim of the
loan company for receiver was a right
which could not be denied.
The argument will be continued to-
morrow.

ITS OFFICE IN PORTLAND.
Dispute Over the Books of the
Oregon Improvement
Company.
A Strong Contest for Supremacy
Expected at the Next An
nual Meeting.

PORTLAND, Or, June &C. A. Dolph
Of this city, yice-preEident Of the Oregon
improvement Company, when shown the
New York dispatch stating that the trans
fer books and stock Lists had been sent 10
Portland but had not reached their des-
tination, said:
We'll, they must be talking through
their hat 70 send such q dispatch out
here.
u he Oregon Improvement Company is
an Oregon corporation. Its principal Of
fee is in Portland and its books have never
been out OF the possession OF the secretary
OF the company TO my knowledge. The
transfer agents in New York should have a
record OF the transfer of stock.
II know nothing whatever in relation to
the controversy in New York. L suppose
it is probably the usual struggle between
the ms and outs. Application was recently
made 10 examine the stockbooks of the
corporation here, and every facility was
afforded for such examination. 1t is usual
for the secretary of q corporation to make
out and properly verify list OF stock
holders TO be presented to the annual
stockholders meeting, and presume this
is what is referred TO in the telegram as
stock lists. Whether Mr.. Poston, the Sec
rotary OF the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, has sent list l am not advised.
There is no occasion TO prepare it before
the annual stockholders meeting. All
that l can say is that the Office in Portland
is the proper place for persons entitled to
examine the books of the company to ap-
ply for such privilege"
Regarding the question of the reported
reorganization of the Oregon Improvement
Company at the annual meeting of the
stockholders, which will be held in Port
land June II, Mr.. Dolph said that reorgan-
ization meant an entire change of the
ownership or holdings OF the corporation.
There would be no reorganization, but he
supposed there would naturally be con-
test for supremacy as to the management
OF the corporations business.
E. S. Hooley of New York, formerly one
of the directors and member of the exec
utive committee of the Oregon Improve
ment Company with H. B. Brooks. is here
looking after the interests OF the parties

MILWAUKEE, WIS, June 6.-As re-
suit OF the investigation by the Grand Jury
at the instance Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. the officials OF at least four of
the most prominent railway lines in this
section, together with several big Eastern
lines, viii be served with papers IN arrest;
also a prominent Wisconsin firm OF malt
sters.
Among the railroads implicated are the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, and
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern. The complaint
is conspiracy for the purpose Of fraud. 1t
is charged that the railroads implicated
have been able TO reap big advantage by
means OF making false weights and re-
turns. Cars containing, say 10000 pounds
OF malt, would be shipped as 5000. and so
on. Some larger firms finding themselves
undersold in the Eastern markets, began
systematic investigation which resulted in
the discovery Of false weights.

LRCHERS OF BARRETT SCOTT.
Hundreds of Witnesses Summoned IN q
Celebrated Case.

OMAHA, NEBR, June Ga special to
the Bee from Butte, Nebr., says: The Hoyt
County farmers charged with having
lynched Barrett Scott, the defaulting
Treasurer OF the county, were arraigned to-
day and pleaded not guilty.
Two hundred witnesses are present, one
third for the State. The prisoners are al
legged TO be the committee appointed by
vigilantes OF Northwestern Nebraska TO re-
move Scott, who bankrupted the county
by stealing $4,000. They took him from
his family carriage on New Years night,
hanged him and hid his body in river.
The feeling here to-day is that the trial
of the case will pile up bill of costs on
the county and result in farce and the
eventual acquittal OF the men accused. A
few are OF the opinion that the State viii
foot the bill in the end.
