MARCONI At WORK.
Negotiations With Gable Company to
Prevent Interference.

s'SVSue St'S1 SuSVs
st. Johns, N. F.. Dec. 2G.-Marconi
is today awaiting cable message
from London announcing the result
OF negotiations between his agents
and the Anglo-American Cable com
pany The inventor fears the latter
will insist that ne is not to engage
in commercial business here until af-
monopoly. Marconi is not disposed to
agree to such condition believing
he can perfect means for signalling
between Nova Scotia and Cornwall
within a few months.
He has now practically decided to
visit Nova Scotia on Sunday but this
does not necessarily mean he VII
abandon New Founland on account
of the Anglo-American CaD.e com
pany. Superintendent Mckay of the
Anglo-American company, in 'hls
province, denies tnat he protested to
Governor Boyle against the latter Wis
iting the Marconi station. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the cabinet met
yesterday morning prior to visiting
Signal Hill and discussed whether to
go there or not The premier, Sir
Robert Bond, says the government
decided to support Marconi while his
work is experimental on the ground
that itc cniontifiC 1,,n cb no
certained in the interest of the whole
world. without taking sides in the
controversy.
That wireless experiments in New
Founldand can not be stopped by the
Anglo-American Telegraph company
even by resort to the courts, is the
assertion of Mr.. Marconi's represent
atives there. They further state that
he can not be stopped even from trans
mitting commercial messages.
They say that the charter would
not interfere with the sending Of
wireless messages to and from New
Founland even for the two years the
charter has vet to run.
They decided that in the first place
that a charter monopoly would not
operate to lstop scientific expert
ments, and second. that according to
English decisions, such a grant would
not operate to bar an invention that
was unknown at the time the co l.
! cession was granted.
c. Cuthbert, general manager for
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, said in an interview: 1--WE
are rather glad than otherwise that
this attempt to stop Mr.. Marconi has
been made. Even If Ne 60 ~ further

STARTING THE FIGHT.
Attorney General Of Minnesota Ready
to Begin Proceedings Against
Railroad Trust.

ST. Paul, Dec. 20.-The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: The ac-
ton of the state of Minnesota against
the Northern Securities company. to
prevent the combination of the Great
Northern the Northern Pacific and
the Burlington railway lines. will
probably be brought into the United
States supreme court as soon as the
court convenes after its holiday re-
cess.
The action will be petition for a
bill of equity. This report came to-
day from Washington, and it is gener-
ally accepted as true. Attorney Gen
eral Douglass refused to either deny
or affirm the report.
81 really can not discuss the mat
ter, and | do not now believe 1t
would be wise to try it now before
the public. There will necessarily be
some delay before the papers can he
fled"
The reason for the delay, it is said,
is that the United States supreme
court adjourned a week ago for the

pers for starting the action are fin
ished and could be filed at any time.
In fact. the papers have been COM
pleted for some time. except essential
matters of fact, which 1t took time
to gather. The last essential facts
needed to complete the papers were
received Tuesday. Had they been re-
ceived earlier the action would have
been begun in the United States SUI
preme court before the holiday re-
cess.
| The action, it is said, will be
brought in equity, because it admits
of a much broader pleading than II
brought under snecific statutes.
| The petition, it is understood. will
set forth the statutes bearing on
every consolidation. and lne facts
discovered concerning the Northern
Securities company. The action will
be in the nature of an injunction pro
ceeding.
Attorney General Douglass has moi
yet selected the counsel to act with
him in the case. though he has been
in conference with several prominen,
attorneys.

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
WayIaid in Lonely Spot and Buried
in a Shallow Trench.

WayIaid in Lonely Spot and Buried
in a Shallow Trench.
Salt Lake, Dec. 20.-The body of
James R. Hay. secretary of the Pa
cific Lumber company, was found
this morning buried in a shallow
trench alongside the Rio Grande
tracks near Sixth East and Thirteenth
South streets.
Tuesday night Hay called at the
home of Peter Mortensen, con-
tractor. living at 2210 Walnut avenue.
and collected $500 which Mortensen
owed the Pacific Lumber company,
and which late in the afternoon Hay
had refused to accept. not caring to
leave that amount in the Office safe
over night.
He gave a receipt to Mortensen for
the money and left the latter's house
with the remark that he was going
to take the money to Manager C. E.
Romney of the lumber company.
Since that time nothing has been seen
or heard of him until his body was
found this morning. The money was
gone and in the back of Hays head
was a great jagged wound. It is the
theory that some one saw Hay re-
ceive the money from Mortensen, fol-
lowed him when he left the house and
murdered him. then buried the body
in a hastily dug trench. Hay was
about 81 years old. prominent in Nor
mon church work and was implicitly
trusted by his employers. He came
to Salt Lake from Australia several
years ago.
Mortensen denies all knowledge of
the crime. Considerable excitement
has been caused by the crime. as
young Hay was exceedingly popular
and open threats of lynching were
heard on the streets in case the mur.
derer was caught. It is understood
that the police gained their first in
formation in regard to the location
of the body from Mortensen.

WEED IN COURT.
Says Charges in U.sbarment Proceed
ings Are Frivolous.

ngs Are Frivolous.
Helena, Dec. 19.-E. ID. Weed pre-
sented to the supreme court objec-
tions to the sutliciency of the accu-
sations that Theodore Mayer had
fled in that court against the former
United States district attorney, seek
ing his disbarment. Mr.. Weed in his
objections confined himself to at
tacking the charge made by Mayer
that he had defrauded the petitioner,
rather than the other charges, which
alleged that he had speculated in a
clients Judgment. and withheld part
of the pay of his stenOgrapher dur
ing his term as district attorney and
had collected a large amount of mon
ey in Washington for former deputy
United States marshal without ac-
counting for it.
Mr.. Weed styles the charges against
him as frivolous and asks that they
be dismissed. If they are not dis
missed he asks that he be allowed
to answer. The court took the mat
ter under advisement. In present
ing his objections to the court Mr.
Weed says:
