THE SOUTHERN MERGER.
Plans Call For Consolidation of $4,000
Miles of Lines.

New York, Aug. lone powerful
railway combination. operating the
enormous length of "a miles of track
embracing seven systems. practically
covering all the region from the Ohio
river south TO the gulf. and with en-
trance to Chicago and outlest and feed
ers to the southwest and northwest, is
an immediate possibility.
Information from several authorita-
tive sources in regard to the various
reports and semi-ofiicial annocunce-
ments, the unusual stock movements
and the conferences, frequent and in
innate occurring between presidents of
southeastern and southwestern rail-
roads, inclines to the belief that the
merger is almost a certainty.
The roads and their mileage that are
units of this aggressive and protective
combination are as follows:
Southern railway, GAP miles.
Louisville e Nashville, 1924 miles.
Atlantic Coast line. which recently
secured the Plant system 1859 miles.
Illinois Central, 4,266 miles.
ST Louis & San Francisco, 1872
miles.
Chicago e Eastern Illinois. 73S miles.
Evansville q Terre Haute. which is
controlled by the Eastern Illinois, $50
miles.
The scheme has in a measure been
forced by the plan of the Southern rail-
way to gain control of the territory con-
tributary to its 800 miles of road. altho
III may be said that the Morgan proper
iy does not directly figure in the nego-
tiations.
The Illinois Central and the ST. Louis
& San Francisco, which meet at Mem
phis, will make close alliance and the
Eastern Illinois. which the Frisco has
secured on a long-term lease, will join
them. This may be regarded as a pro-
tcctive measure on the part of the Illi-
noiS Central.
One of the leaders engaged in the
conferences said:
"There will be one railroad system in
above) will form it under one organi-
cation
Meanwhile, no confirmation of the
announcement that the st. Louis & San
Francisco has leased or otherwise Sc
cured control of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois could be obtained. The officers
and directors of both roads refused to
confirm or deny it. No one doubts the
ST. Louis & San Francisco has acquired
CONTROL but there seems to be differ
ence of opinion. even in inspired quar-
ters. as to whether the Chicago & East
orn Illinois has been leased or control

MAYOR ANES Will OUT
Climax Is Reached in the Min-
neapolis Police Scandal
Case.
Ames Will Resign Sept. / and
Relieve the Municipal
Tangle.
-------
His Brother, the Chief Of Police,
Advised to Act at
Once.

| Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 1.-Mayol
| has decided TO resign his office, the res
| ignaton TO take effect Sept 6. The let
ter of resignation will be read to the
council at its next meeting. The may
or postpones his retirement to save the
city the expense of special election.
| The mayor has agreed also to secure
the resignation of his brother, Col. Fred
w. Ames, superintendent of police. He
was brought to these terms by the visit
to West Baden of Police Captains
Charles r. Hill. who Will be acting SUI
perintendent, and John Fitchette. He
does not have the power while out of
the city to perform the functions of
mayor. but he wired Acting Mayor
Fred NJ. Powers to secure the removal
of the chief and wired the chief himself
advising his resignation. Alderman
Powers has agreed to carry out the
wishes of the mayor.
This is the climax of the police COR
ruption scandals which have agitated
this community and occupied the grand
jury and the courts for two months.
Mayor Ames is in failing health and
may not return to Minneapolis at all.
unless forced to do so by the courts.
Mayor Ames. who is at West Baden,
Ind. explains it this way:
when Col. Ames left Minneapolis
on his vacation 1 asked him to resign
within two weeks. He pledged me his
word of honor that he would faithfully
comply with my wishes in that regard
Immediately on his return. l cannot
tell You how surprised and grievd | am
that, as my brother, he failed to keep
faith with me to that extent. But, after
all, he is my brother.
For the benefit of the department
and city of Minneapolis 1 must insist
upon his speedy resignation. I take
this action in the belief that by so do
ing / ann best serving the city of my
youth, the city which / love as dearly
as my life
Nothing could have so clarified the
municipal atmosphere as this act of
Mayor Ames. 1t ends the rule of Arnes
in Minneapolis, and removes any ele-
ment of Ameism from local politics.
Mayor Ames would have resigned
weeks ago but for his troubles with
the grand jury. He refused to take any
action that would look like backing
down under fire. He is under three in
dictments, but if his health continues to
fail as at present it is doubtful if he
can ever return to face the music.
There are several indictments
against Supt. Ames. He has been &C
quilted once. He is charged with re-
ceiving brides from women and also
With eXtortion. Practically the same
charges are made against Mayor Ames.
When the case of Chief Ames was
called yesterday his attorneys moved to
quash the indictments on the ground
that the grand jury was prejudiced and
biased. The court denied the motion,
whereupon Chief Ames pleaded not
guilty. and the case was set for trial
next Tuesday.

Washington, Aug 1.-There was a
ended. but this causes no alarm at the
treasury because it was fully expected.
The deiicit is due to the repeal OF the
war revenue and heavy disbursements
made at the beginning of each fiscal
year for interest charges and eNtraor-
binary disbursements, to pay the war
claims of Illinois. Iowa. Indiana, and
several other states. These claims
alone amounted to more than $4,000, 600
and accounts for nearly half the
amount of the deficit. The receipts for
the month were s49,SO5,69l and the
disbursements of S56,S04.O00
The internal revenue receipts for the
month We're S21.61S,t24, against SIS

decrease of $6,120,066 caused by the re-
peal of the war taxes. on the other
toms receipts of $3,166.7S0 over last
year, the receipts for the current year
being s2443o,I43, as against SCI 2s3,
s63 for the corresponding period for the
previous year.
ii is estimated there will be falling
off of about s7o,OOo,0oo in the internal
revenue receipts during the present
year. With this tremendous reduction
in receipts Uncle sam will have no
difficulty meeting his obligations, as he
has on hand an available cash balance
of S203.567,1l2. In addition to this there
