Street Car Man Refuses To Furnish
Testimony.

Kansas City, May president w,
H. Holmes of the Metropolitan Street
railroad was ordered by Judge Wexford
in the criminal court today to appear
before the grand jury which is inves.
tigating rumors of jury bribing in con.
nection with a damage suit, and pro.
duce the books and papers of the
claim department of his road. Mr.,
Holmes, through his attorneys, re-
fused to comply with the order. Judge
Wexford held him in contempt of
court and he was constructively placed
IN custody until the matter can be
passed upon by a higher court.
There is a constitutional question
involved and the matter may be TAX
en- before the supreme court of the
state or the federal court.
IN reciting his refusal to obey the
courts order, Holmes ATTORNEYS
claimed exception under sections of
the constitution, both state and feder-
al to protect a person from unconsti-
tutlonal and unreasonable search and
the constitutional section that no per-
son is compelled to give evidence
mat might incriminate himself.

the citizens committee and many dis
tinguished people from all over Caif-
fornla. General Shafter, commander
of the department of the Pacific, with
his staff, in full uniform, had come
down from the Preside to greet his

who was to have met the party at San
Francisco, also came here to meet the
president and was at the station.
The party was driven in carriages
to Vannuy's hotel. An escort Of artil-
lery and several companies OF militia
had been provided to escort them, but
both the military and police had to
fight their way through the enormous
crowds which had swarmed into the
city, drawn by the double attraction
of the presidents visit and the carni-
val. At the hotel the police were
obliged to literally fight a way to the
entrance. There he met Governor
Nash of Ohio and the Ohio congress
siOnaI delegation who had arrived by
different routes an hour before the
president.
In .le rotunda of the hotel the may
or of Los Angeles formally greeted
the chief executive and extended to
him the freedom of the city. The
president responded and then held al
short public reception in the parlors
of the hotel. Meantime Mrs. McKin-
ley and the ladies of the party had
been driven to the Woman's club in
Figuere street, where they met the la.
dies of Los Angeles.
This evening the president and Mrs.
Mckinley dined at the residence Of
General, Harrison Gray Otis and after
dinner a private reception was held
there in their honor. They spent the
night at General Otis home.

S ALL GHOST DANCING

New York, May 8.-James J.. Hill
vas interviewed at the Hote- Neither
land on the connection of his name
with the phenomenal movements in
Northern Pacific stock. He was asked:
'Is it true that the Morgan-Hill in
terests are expendlng millions, as was
reported on Wall street yesterday, in
order to maintain control of the
Northern Pacific, and that this is the
cause of the recent phenomenal rise
in the price of the stock OF that rail
road?"
Mr.. Hill smiled. 81 have nothing to
say" he said. "Wait one minute,
though, l will tell you this: 1t has
not cost me one cent. The reason is
that have not bought a share of
Northern Pacific in six months. l am
president of the Great Northern, o
know, and I am not trying to purchase
the Northern Pacific. l know nothing
of Mr.. Morgan's relation to the road"
said Mir. Hill. "Mr. Morgan n l are
two separate individuals"
Then it is a mistake to speak Of
the Morgan-Hill interests in Northern
Pacific?"
This question Mr.. Hill did not ans
wer. He said: 81 cannot speak for
Mr.. Morgan, but | guess you would
not go far wrong if you said hat MI.
Morgan's poslllon is analogous to
mine."
What, then, 40 you suppose is the
cause of the surprising jump in the
Northern PACING stock?"
ut is all ghost dancing. The situa-
ton rs simply this: Wall street is
full of rumors and stories without
foundation. There are cliques anu
parties there that are always ready
to rush in and buy and sell, as the
cas- may be, upon the slightest provo
cation. That is the situation today,
and in my opinion that is the only
explanation Of the change in Northern
Pacific"
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-05-10

advantage were the Hill-Morgan inter
ests in Northern Pacific is a perma.
nent investment which was practically
OF the market. In addition abont
100000 shares we're held abroad and
q great deal of it passed to the Union
Pacific interests. This left virtually
but zoe, 900 shares OF the 800. 900 shares
OF common stock outstanding avail
able in the New York market. While
there have been heavy sales of North
ern Pacific by insiders the stock held
on the cOntinent has not been sold and
it is not likely that insiders went short
of the market, as has been intimated.
The corner in the stock was not looked
for by h various buyers o. Northern
Pacific, who had practically accomp-
lished their purpose before Mondays
sharp advance.
THE pyrOtechnics in the shares are
attributed to MIR. Keane, who, compre-
bending what was actually going on
in the stock and understanding the
large short interest spectators, went
into the market and effected the cor
ner.
Mr.. Hill, !. was aut~horitatively
stated today has not sold any or his
Northern Pacific stock. His large in
terest was acquired last summer,
around so, when the stock broke in
the reduction OF the common dividend
on poor traffic prospects on account
of the diminished wheat harvest. He
said today: I have not bought a
share Of Northern Pacific since six
months and in reference to the re-
ported differences between the Harri-
man syndicate and the Morgan-Hill
cun1inofn he coi1. tThnk ho~ l1o~
magnified a thousand tines"
There was talk in Wall street of a
great fight for control between the
Morgan-Hill interests on one side and
the Harriman-Kuhn, Loeb-Standard-oil
people on the other, out nothing def
mite could be learned of il. In some
parts of the street talk of the fight
and of a great clash between these
powerful interests is credited. In
other parts it is ridiculed .
One story has it that over 100, 900
shares more tnan the actual capital
stock of the company have been
bought by opposing syndicates and
that it is as yet uncertain where the
control lies However, whatever the
several conferences were
held today in regard to Northern Pa
cific stock situation, which were parti-
in by James Stillman, Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., and e. H. Hartman, on
the one side, and Daniel S. Lamont,
James J. Hill and Mr.. Bacon, of J.i
Pierpont Morgan & Co., on the other.
It is also understood that George F.
Baker and some representative of the
interests were present dur
ing the session of the last conference.
No decision was arrived at, but it is
understood that Morgan had been ap-
pealed to in a cable dispatch and that
matters were left in their present
pending the receipt of a reply
rom Morgan.
Later in the evening it was learned
hat after the coference between the
representatives of the different Norths
m Pacific interests held at the office
If J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., a Sec
conference vas held at the Met
.opolitan club. This second confer
was attended by Messrs. Harri-
Hill and Henry w. Cannon, of
he Chase National bank. 1t was re-
ported at a late hour tonight that eff
to arrive atS an agreement in
Northern Pacific matters had failed.

THE pOPES OPINION OF
WOMEN'S CLOTHES.

The pope has recently manifest
ed preference in regard to ladies'
apparel over and above the strict
regulation in regard to ladies who
are received by the Holy Father
at the Vatican. A niece OF the
pope was about to be married, and
her distinguished relative took so
great an interest in her tronsseau
as to stipulate that the young lady
should only have white, blue or
black gowns, adding that these
were the three colors most becom-
ing to young girls, '.Gray and
brown remarked His Holiness,
ssare only suitable for old women.
and I do not like any other colors."
Passibly the pope prescribed white
because it is the symbol OF purity
blue because it is the color dedie
i ated to the Virgin Mary, and black
because it is the time honored hut
