THE BOOM IN L. & N.
No Change of Relations With the South
ern Under WAY.

NEW YORK, April 9-Rumors OF a
prospective merger or alliance between
the Southern Railway and the /. and y.
were again a feature in Wall Street to
day Speculative buying Of l.. and ~
shares has been particularly active for
several days and today the buying demand
for Southern Railway common stock and
Louisville and Nashville stock was un-
prccedented.
II is Il singular fact that about 14i, 900
shares of each OF these stocks changed
hands during the day. The greater part OF
the buying of Southern Railway shares
Was III the afternoon and brokers sup
posed to represent the dominant inter-
est in his property were the principal
buyers Southern Railway common sold
at a net advance OF ll2 points and South
ern Railway preferred at net advance Of
las points. Louisville and Nashville closed
4st points above Tuesdays closing price.
August Belmont, chairman of the board
of directors of the Louisville and Nash
Vile made this statement:
Il know nothing about rumOrs Of pend
ing changes in the relations between the
Louisville and Nashville and the South
ern. nor of the source from which they
originated. So far as | know, nothing Of
importance between these two roads is
pending The rumors afoat have not
come from me nor from persons identS
ned with the Louisville and Nashville.
The activity in the stock of the two roads
can, perhaps. best be explained by specu-
Iatiye interests"
Representatives Of the Southern Rail
way Company said Chairman Belmont's
statement expressed accurately the real
situation.

WATTERSON DECLINES HONOR
Unable to Serve as Member of West
Point Board of Visitors.

Col. Henry Watterson has declined the
tender of an appointment as a member of
the board of visitors to the United States
Military Academy. In his letter of dec
lination. which expresses cordial thanks
for the compliment paid him by Repub
lican Administration, Colonel Watterson
does not give any reasons for declining,
but he has let the War Department Of
ficials know privately that his reason is
that he is going TO Europe this summer.
When he was here recently TO make
an address before the Virginia Democratic
association of Washington, Colonel Wat
terson was asked if he would accept n
place on the board if it were rendered
him by the President He said then that
formal tender until after the President
had read the speech which he tMr Wat
terson) was about to make before the as
sociation. Colonel Watterson said a
great many things about the Presidents
strenuousness in his remarks to the Vir-
ginia Association. and was apparently OF
the belief that when Mr.. Roosevelt learned
of these he would not be anxious to have
the Kentucky editor serve on the board OF
visitors.
But the President told Adiutant Cen
eral Corbin to ask Colonel Watterson to
take the place. and it was in response TO
this tender that his note of declination
was written.

RICHMOND, Va. April 9.-An apology
and explanation today saved John W.
Starke. lieutenant in the Seventh Regi-
ment, from prosecution in the United

decent letter to President Roosevelt
Lieutenant Starke. who has been active
in military life here for ten years, and
who was prominent in Cuban movements

Southerner. Just after President Roose-
welt dined Booker Washington at the
White House. advertising card, with
an obscene inscription written on it, was
found by Secretary COrtelyou in the Pres
ident's mail. The letter was traced to

len read a letter from Starke apologizing
