Senator Earris Would Eefer the scie
of the Road Until Congress
Meets Aqdin.

WASHINGTON, D c., Sept. S.-Sena-
tor Foraker of Ohio and Senator Harris OF
Kansas, who are members OF the sub
committee appointed by the Pacific Rail
road Comm of the Senate last May to
inquire into the sinking fund of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads and other
minor questions, ED an informal meet
ing to-day. Inasmuch as the committee
was appointed before the decree OF the sale
of the Union Pacific was entered at Omaha
it was decided that nothing could be done.
After a further conference the special
subcommittee completed lis work and
adjourned. A letter was sent TO the At
rorneyGeneraI bearing on the question of
the sinking fund of the Union Pacific for
such action as he may deem proper in the
event of the sale of the road a decree for
which has been entered at Omaha.
In 1856, it is stated, Secretary Lamar re.
ported that up to tGat time a large amount
of money, approximating $500, ,000 paid to
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
charged 10 the item OF expenses, should.
have been converted into the Union Pa
cfc sinking fund. AS the same practice
pro baby has continued since that time
the amount that should have been con-
verted into that fund has continued.
The understanding is that the sinking
fund is to be included with the other prop
erty in the sale of the road, and the sub
committee deemed it proper that the At
torney- Generals attention should be
called to the fact. This was the only
question touched upon by the sub-com-
mittee, that of the investigation of the
II d,,la of
to the Pacific railroads going over until
Decor Der.
Sen ator Harris is anxious that the de-
cree shall not be carried out and the road
sold before the next session of Congress.
II the Attorney General should enter an
appeal from the Omaha decision, ques-
ton he is now con sidering, it would carry
the matter over until the next session of
Congress.
Senator Foraker saw the Attorney Gen.
eral few minutes to-day, and he and
Sen ator Harris have an engagement with
him for to- orrow, when the situation
will be discussed.
Attorney General McKenna is very ret-
cent concerning the sale OF the Union Pa
cific Railroad. He says he does not know
yet whether the Department OF Justice
will appeal from the decision of the United
States Circuit Court for the Eigh tn Circuit
(Omaha) and can arrive at no concIu usion
until certain matters OF detail are ar
ranged.
He will have another interview to-mor.
row with Senators Foraker and Harris
concerning the sinking fund and land
patents. 1t is the opinion of some here,
however, that no appeal viii be taken
from the courts decree, and that the re-
fore the sale 10 the syndicate win have
been ffected before Congress can take ac-

Disappeared After Mrs. Green bury
Was Burned to Death
Last May.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. S-News OF
the flight some time ago of Maude McMul-
IAN, the well-known designer and artist,
and W. Z. Greenbury. the artist whose
wife was burned to death by the supposed
explosion of a lamp in her bedroom
in this city one night last May,
bscame public to- day through the action
of Mrs. Mcmillan, who called at local
employment bureau and asked for en-
ployment to enable her to earn enough to
support herself and little girl, the latter a
child of IL years.
"I am practically destitute, and having
nearly reached the end OF my little stock
of money" said Mrs. Mcmillan, II must
now 60 out and work TO earn living for
myself and child.
Il gave my daughter, Maude, power OF
attorney last winter to manage my prop
erty, and she ana Greenbury took advan-
tage of that to get possession OF ali l pos
sessed."
The poor woman then told how she had
always lived happily with. her daughter
until Greenbu,y came between them.
He had wife living, but he ana Maude
were together almost constantly, as be
was in her employ as designer and artist.
Some time last April Mrs. McMuilan
missed a mum ber of valuable papers from
her safe.
She asked her daughter for them and
was told that Greenbury had taken them.
They comprised ali the woman's estate,
but efforts to recover the papers were
fruitless.
About the 1st of May, Maude suddenly
LETT for Denver, where she opened school
of design. A few days later the accident
at Green burg's little home on Seventh
street shocked the city.
His wife had retired to her couch ap-
parently and, it is said, was reading. No
one was pres mt in the room save Green
bury, lis Vie and an infant Suddenly
an awful scream came from the couch.
Greenbury rushed in to find the large
lam p upset and the unfortunate woman in
flames. Greenburv threw the child out OF
doors. Then he seemed 10 have lost his
head.
The woman died in few hours. The
INQUEST resulted in verdict OF accidental
death by burning.
week later Greenbury left suddenly
for Denver.
There he and Miss Mcmillan engaged
in business together gong a lew weeks
later to Colorado Springs, where they now
are They are not believed to be married
Mrs. Mcmillan has engaged good legal
talent and will make one more demand
on Greenbury for the papers, which are
worth $4,000. If he does not comply she
wi be; ii criminal proceedings against
him.
The whole affair is mysterious. Maude
Mcmillan was very prominent in this
city and very prosperous in business.
