During a trying and exciting period in
the ceremony, W. r. Sherwood advanced
upon Hemingway in very threatening

the Westerner lost his nerve He
whipped a revolver from his hack pocket
and fired at Sherwood Sherwood stag

members grabbed Hemingway and dis
armed him, while others went TO Sher-

Sherwood had not BEEN hit by the bull

face and eyes Sherwood was taken to
his home, the ceremonies coming to an
abrupt end. Hemingway vas not molest-

thought that when he fired he was dazed
and it was second nature 10 him to pull

MR.. MORGANS LONDON DEAL.
Chairman EIIerman's Explanation
to the LeYInnd stocI1hoIders.


LONDON May 3.-At today's meeting
of the shareholders Of the Leyland line,
Chairman EIIeTman promised that the
deal for the transfer OF the stock of the
company TO Mr. Morgan would he thor
oughIy discussed at a special meeting to
be held on May :. The meeting today
was the regular annual session and dis
cussion Of the subject was out of order
Chairman EIermcG subsequently ex-
planned the reasons why the directors
favored the Acceptance Of Mr. MOrgan's
offer He said:
In the first place. We are getting a
fancy price for our stock Then, again,
1t must be borne in mind that trade ebbs
and flows. We are now at the crest of
the wave and a period Of depression is
imminent. The war greatly enhanced our
earnings; when it is over there viii be
reaction The Morgan syndicate has not
bought the line They simply. propose to
purchase q large proportion of the shares
of the Leyland Company. The ships viii
continue to fly the British flag and the
actual working of the company viii re-
main in English hands. Personally, 1
regard the deal as an advantage to
J British commerce rather than the reverse.
/ It is stipulated that I shall retire from
4 the Craftsmanship of the LeyIand Line,
and ! am to bind myself not to engage in
/ the American trade for a period of four
! teen years
The report of the company made at to-
days meeting shows that, after writing
off the depreciation of value of the ships,
paying debenture bonds that have fallen
due. 5 per cent on the preferred and per
cent on the ordinary stock, the company
was able to place e370,d00 in the reserve
fund.
The Central News says the American
/ syndicate headed by Mr.. Morgan, has
approached other Liverpool lines with a
/ view to the purchase of their ships, but
SO far without result The Dominion Line
has two large fleets, one trading with
/ Canada and the other between Liverpool
and Boston. 1t is stated as a fact that
the Dominion Line has relinquished its
Quebec and Montreal trade under az ar
rangement with the Grand Trunk Rail-
road to run boats during the summer as
well as the winter to Portland, Me, on
the understanding that the Dominion Line
viii be allowed special continuous traffic
rates throughout the year, although Port
land has been merely a winter port This,
1t is believed, started the rumor of the
transfer of the fleet to the Morgan syndi-
cate
