FROM MASTER IN CHAECERY JOHNSON

For tina sa1a oF the santa Fe-Eastern
Hen vv.,tad Hiram Dillon TO be
Special Master
There was evidently an object in leav-
ing the name of J. B. johnson out of the
Santa Fe decree as the man who was to
make the sale and which was resented
BY judge Caldwell The object was not
known to the people who were not di-
rectlv interested in the decree, and
though Judge Caldwell did know the OBJ
ject he was careful to not let drop any
thing which would reveal the secret
The New York attorneys had fully
agreed that J. B. johnson of Topek a
should not sell the Santa Fee, but special
master for that purpose should be ap-
pointed, and it was agreed that d. +.
Dillon of Topeka should be the man.
In consequence Judge Johnson, who
has done all the work would miss the
fee, which for the sale alone will proba-
bly, amount to at least $4,000 1t IS
said that the proposition to make Mr.
Dillon the master to make the sale was
fully aqreed upon before the representa-
tives left New York, and That Judge
Dillon. Mr.. billions father, was instru-
mental in making the arrangement
When the parties came to Topeka
they went into a conference and when
they came to that part of the decree
which was to make Mr.. Dillon the mas
ter to make the sale there was scene
General Solicitor George r. Peck told
the New Workers that their scheme was
an injustice to Judge johnson, and that
he would never consent to any such ar
rangement; that Judge Johnson would
make the sale unless the matter was to
be taken out of the hands of the re-
ceivers, whom he represented Some
hot words were passed and 1t was no.
ticed in the conference with Judge Cald-
we'll there was GOODNESS between Mr..
Peck and the New York attorneys.
When Judge Caldwell read the decree
he asked the New York attorneys whaI
they meant by leaving the place for the
name of the master blank He saio
that he did not propose to allow Judge
johnson, who had made faithful officer
deposed by any chicanery.
Mr.. MOrowetz smoothly rejOined that
so far as he was concerned he had NJ
objection to Judge johnson making the
sale.
Wheeler II. Peckham muttered some
thing about some one coming to hi
office in New York and telling him i
would be wise to have the sale made b!

can be no mistake about the meaning
and with his own hand he wrote tn

Had it not been for Mr.. Peck AM
Judge Caldwell Hiram P. Dillon would
have made the sale of the Santa Fe rail
road and the big fee which has beel
dagling before Judge Johnson's eye
would have gone into another's pocket
