A Movement to Protect Those Who Desired to Retire From Specula- tion-Instead of Raising Rates it Will Result in the Lowering of Them and Will Contribute to the Development of the Northwest.

&. Paul, Dec. 21-James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern rail- way and of the recently organized Northern Securities company. this afternoon gave out an extensive state ment concerning the purposes of the new corporation MT. Hin begins by saying that when the Northern Pacific failed and Mir. Morgan reorganized it. himself and friends were holders of a large amount of the company's securi- ties and that after the reorganization they bought about s2e. 900 Northern Pacific.
 About a year ago. he says. the Union Pacific bought the Huntington and other interests in the Northern Pacific and at the same time made an effort to get control of the Burlington Mir. Hill and his associates then made proposals to the Burlington to buy it's property entire. When this transaction was about closed the Union Pacific people asked to be allowed to share with the Hill party in the purchase of that com pany, which was refused
 Mir. Hill then reviews the fight to gain control of the Northern Pacific and the famous corner in New York when the stock went to s1. coo. and how when the battle was over Messrs Nor gan and Hill controlled SAP GOO. 900 out of sS0. .000. .000 of the stock and had con- trol. He goes on to say that many holders of stock, owing to their age. desired to combine their individual holdings in a corporate form and in that way secure permanent protec- ton for their interests and a continua- ton of the policy and management which has done so much for the de- velopment Of the northwest
 Hence the organization of the North ern Securities company Mir. Hill says the organization of the company was simply to enable those who hold stock to continue their respective interests in the association. to prevent such inter ests from being scattered by death or otherwise. and to provide against at tacks by competing interests. MT. Hill strongly disclaims the motives which have been attributed to the organization and says that the new arrangement will enable the roads to reduce rates in proportion to the volume of traffic and that the public will have a chance to soon see for itself this feature.

 Baltimore, Md. Dec. 21.-Isador Ray ner. attorney general of Maryland, and the counsel for Admiral Schley, when he was shown the decision of Secre- tary Long today, declared that the whole proceeding was arbitrary and tyrannical and manifesto. the greatest surprise and indignation.
 ''The court decided the case, said he. without considering the testimony Of Admiral Schley and his witnesses, and Secretary Long seems to have decided it without. so much as permitting us to file a reply to the protest filed by Simpsons attorneys. The whole pro ceeding is too arbitrary and tyrannical for me to now discuss. l really wonder whether people who live under free institutions will tolerate the exercise of such despotic measures. You ask what the next step will be. I do not know. unless the president intervenes.

ment that had no sympathy with any efforts tending to disparage a distin- guished and gallant officer. likewise had no such reference"
 General Miles supplemented this let ter with the following. handed to the secretary today:
 Honorable Secretary of War,
 sir: Referring to my note of yes terday, and in order that there may be no misunderstanding. I desire to say that for several years a distinguished and gallant officer has been assailed by parties who have endeavored to write him and other high officials down. until finally he appealed against such assaults to coordinate branch of the government That coordinate branch of the government granted him a court of inquiry. and as I understand it. they unanimously eXonerated him from such epithets as coward, etc, and their opinions were given to the public for the information of all citizens. Vixen I said that I had no sympathy with those who endeavored to destroy the reputation of a high officer who. like all other. officers. regards his honor more sacred than life. I had in mind and referred to those assaults against which the admiral appealed for protection. and certainly not to CO., ordinate branch of the government.
 'I request that this note be laid be- fore the president. and have no objec- tion to it being made public"
 Secretary Roots second letter 70 General Miles, is in part, as follows:
 Your explanation of the public statement made by you is unsatisfac- tory You are in error if you say you have the same right as any other citi- zen to express publicly an opinion re- garding questions pending in the course of military discipline. The present facts are that for several years there has been an unfortunate bitter controversy in the departnents-a con- troversy generally deplored even by service into disesteem at home and of mutual confidence and friendship betwen naval officers. which the inter est of effective service requires.
 Tn this controversy the army has not been involved. and 10 bar has been raised to that good feeling of friendly relation between all of the officers of the navy and all of the officers of the army, which is essential to the sue cessful and harmonious cooperation of the two services in preparation for and in action You had no business in the controversy. and no right. holding the office which you do. to express any opinion Your conduct was in viola ton of the regulation apove cited, and of the rules of official propriety You are justly liable to the censure, which I now express.

SHOOTING.
William R. Harris Wounds John
Mason.
Row Grew Out of a Dispute
Over Some House
Rent.

w. h. Harris, a prominent Re-
publican politician and business
man of Herndon, at 5:3Oo'clock Fri
day afternoon shot and badly
wounded John Mason, a farmer and
horse trader, who lived in one of
Harris houses in Herndon.
Harris claims that he acted in
self-defense, although Mason was
armed only with a rock picked up
in the road.
The trouble grew out of rent
owed by Mason for the last two
months. Failing to pay his rent
when due, Harris had given him
notice to vacate his house. MIR.
Mason rode up to the door of Har-
ri's business house and called him
out to the door and offered to pay
the rent for March. Harris refused to
accept any rent, but said all he
wanted was to have his house va
Gated without delay. According to
Harris statement Mason then be-
gan to abuse him, calling him a
i'd, nigger-loving Republican
s-n-of-a-b-h." Mason had in the
meantime dismouDted and picked
up rock. Harris left the store by
the back door and, armed with a
revolver, went to the door again
upon his return, and found Mason
still there with the rock il his hand.
He claims that Mason drew back
his arm to throw the rock and then
he fired. Mason turned and ran
from the store, Harris not knowing
he was wounded.
Later some one came in and re.
ported that the shot had taken
effect in Mason's left side about an
inch from bis heart The pistol
used was of a SO calibre and the
ball could not be located by DR.. ].
E. Stone, the physician called in.
Harris came to town and gave
himself up and Judge Cansler put
him under a $500 bond.
At four O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mason was much improved
and his recovery regarded as quite
probable. The wounded man is
about IS or so years old and has a
large family.

Chosen by the Cadiz Railroad
Company.
Route Surveyed and Located and
Grading to Begin Early
In April.

The stockholders of the Cadiz
railroad met at Cadiz Saturday
and definitely settled the location
of the new road. 1t will run to
Gracey and connect with both the
L. & N. and l. c. at that point.
This will give the road choice oftwo
routes to get to Louisville.
The vote in favor of Gracey was
almost solid, about $1,000 being
cast for other routes.
The work of grading will begin
in about three weeks. The dis
tance is only ten miles and there
are no bridges to build. The sec
tion traversed is one of the finest
farming regions of Western Ken
lucky and expense of theTightofway
through some of the fine farms will
be heavy. The Gracey connection
will make the line direct one Of
20 miles from Hopkinsville to Ca.

OWENSBOROCAVESIN
WaterspOut Bursts a Big Sewer
In The Street.
Great Damage Done and Ander-
sons Store Has a
Close Call.

Greensboro Ky, March, TO-
lOwensboro was visited by a tre-
mendous rain storm, accompanied
by hail, last night. 1t was almost
a water spout, Streets were food
ed. A serious break occurred in
the sewer at Main and Daviess
streets, resulting in the breaking of
the water and gas mains. Both the
water works and the gas works
were compelled to shut off their
supplies to consumers in that dis
trict, The city electric light plant
was, as usual on wet night, dis
abled early.
AS a result of the rain the Da-
viess street sewer caved in at the
corner of Main and Daviess streets.
The first hole was about fifteen feet
in diameter, In twenty minutes it
was 80 feet across and "a feet deep.
The roar Of the three big sewers
from East and West Main and
South Daviess streets sounded like
miniature Niagara. Gradually
the telegraph and telephone poles
sank down twenty feet. The shed
IN front of Anderson partly drop
ped and then the foundations of the
store building became visible
Foot by foot the crevass crept up
Main street to the, Hall building
without sign of stopping. Every
hour the danger of the Anderson
building Increased.
On the other side Of the street it
was the same story. The east wall
of Temple theater stood on a mar.
row foundation of sand. In the i'm
EperfeSt light it appeared thatSths
wall, foundation and sand, the lat
ter extending downward for fifteen
feet made single perpendicular
wall. The wonder was how il
could stand.
The damage to Daviess street
grew rapidly. More than 90 feet
of the street, from wall to wall Of
the buildings, went down and when
this account closed it was still go
ing.
The damage can hardly be esti-
mated. 1t will cost the water COM
Papy $500 to replace its pipes. The
gas company will lose $500. The
city loses the immense sewer and
half a square of new macadam
street. 1t cannot cost less than S.
600 to replace the street and it may
be much more. If the threatened
buildings should fall, the loss would
be many times this amount.
At S o'clock this morning the
cave-in extended down. Main street
to the Temple theater entrance.
