Two Plans Are Ready, One to Be

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. lit is reported
that if the United States supreme
court makes a favorable decis.ons in
the Northern Securities case the
Gould railroads east of the Mississippi
pi river will be taken into an eastern
securities company having a capitals
of $500, 100000.
A plan for such an organization
was made public over a year ago, but
it is said the influence of President
Cassatt of the Pennsylvania pre-
vented the deal from going thru. The
coalition between the Gould and
Rockefeller Interests, it is said. has
brought about a change and the
scheme is to be carried out as soon
as it is found that the laws of the
country do not stand in the way.
The roads to be taken are the
Wabash, Wheeling & Lake Erie,
Western Maryland, West Virginia
Central, Ann Arbor. Pittsburg &, Lake
Erie, and probably two or three other
roads not yet affiliated.
There are two sets of plans, one to
be used if j. j. Hill wins the North
ern Securities merger case, and the
other if he is beaten. The Gould
plans are to turn all securities held by
the family, with those Of Rockefeller
and Carnegie. into two great holding
companies. Mr.. Carnegie has always
been friendly to Could and it was he
who guaranteed a certain amount of
tonnage if Gould would take the
Wabash into Pittsburg.
A plan to form a western company
made up of the Gould lines west OF
the Mississippi. river was made public
three months ago, but it is now said
that the eastern company will be
launched first. se*

Detectives have found that5.all but
three. lines Is of the Central Passenger
association east Of Chicago-the Grand
Trunk, Michigan Central and Balti-
more & Ohio-have either departed
from tariff rates or have offered to do
so to control fake movements of traf-
fic offered by the detectives. This dis
covery may demoralize rates in the
eastern territory. The report shows
that certain lines are paying commits
slons on steamship business which
they are able to control to the excIu-
sion of other lines. that round trip
tickets to New York could be issued
TO fictitious persons on representation
that they could control party business.
and that single tickets could be bought
at less than tariff rates and that in
other cases excess baggage is checked
in order to control business. It was
revealed also. that. contrary to the
agreement, the roads should maintain
only one local ticket office ait Chicago.
that one Of the strongest lines allowed
tickets to be kept in. a steamship Of
nee at South Chicago, where the de-
tectives bought transportation at less

LIGHT ON OLD CRIME.
Life Convict Taken From Prison for
New Trial.

New Trial.
The return of William Barry to his
home county. Cavalier, to await a Sec
ond trial for the murder of Andrew
Mellem. for which he was once SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life, has
revived interest in the case, and Incl
dentally has started rumor that the
line of defense to be adopted in the
forthcoming trial is to be entirely difs
rerent from that followed before. Il
will be remembered that Mellem was
killed in the Barry stable, and that
after the homicide Barry drove to
Milton and gave himself up to the off,
Gals there. stating that he had killed
the man. and alleging that he had
done so because of the relations which
Mele;n had maintained with his (Ba' :
ry's) sister.
| The defense at the trial was that CT
insanity. and the family records show
that there have been several cases of
mental alteration in the family, the
latest being that Of the woman who,
in a measure, was the cause of the
trouble, she dying a few months later
at the insane asylum at Jamestown.
There is rumor just now, however,
which has never before been pub
iished, that the defense will contend
this time that the killing was done
not by Barry. but by the sister her
self, and that Barry chose to accept
the responsibility for it. There has
been good deal of feeling concern
ing the case and associated with It
there has been good deal of race
prejudice. Barry is an Irish-Canadian
and in religion Catholic. Mellem
was Scandinavian, and the popula-
ton of Cavalier county to very large
degree has taken sides ON the case
according to race.
Among his neighbors of his own
race and religion Barry has some very
warm friends, and among them there
has been a firm belief that the killing
of Mellem was actually done by the
woman who is since dead. In support
of this they point out that after the
tragedy there was at no time anu
blood found On the person or clothing
of Barry. though the man was killed
by having his throat cut during ter
rible struggle. and blood was found on
the door of the stable, the house door
and the clothing of Mary Barry. Other
features are pointed out which lend
color to this belief.

Gymnasium and Administration Build.
ing to be Ereotedsat University.
Two new buildings will be erected
at the University of North Dakota
shis year. This was decided upon at
he regular meeting of the beard of
trustees held at Grand Forks, and
$s5, 600 VS. set aside for the purpose.
A modern gymnasium building, 40
by 80 feet in size, will be erected.
This building will be one story high
above high basement and will be of
common brick. 1t is estimated that
total cost will be $4,000, and this
amount has been appropriated.
A new administration building will
be more pretentious. 1t will be two
stories high on a high basement, or
three stories above the ground, and
will be of pressed brick. 1t will be
40xS0 feet in size and will contain a
number of recitation rooms. an assem-
bly, hall and the Offices FIR the heads
of the several departments. The esti-
mated cost Of this building is $4,000,
and plans for both structures will be
drawn by Architect j. Rell De Remer,
who drew the plans for aad superin-
tended the construction OF the new
buildings at the university asst year.
A building committee consisting of
William Bulge, S. Collins end Presi-
dent Merrifield was appointed to ac-
.ept plans and advertise Fer bids for
the new buildings.
The board also appropriated $500
for an lcelandic library, with the I'M
derstanding that $4,000 is to be raised
by subscription in the Ice,andic set
Elements of the state. For g Scandi-
navian library the sum of $500 was
appropriated. with the Hndarst anding
that an equal amount will he raised by
subscription. These two libraries will
place the University of North DAKOTA
in class with Harvard and Yale re-
garding libraries of these languages,
these being the only American COL
leges equipped with lcelandic and

grounds and race track was not a
good thing in too close proximity to
the university, and rejected the ap-
plication made for lease of forty
acres of land west of the buildings
for that purpose. The application was
made by the promoters of the Grand
Forks County Fair association. When
the delegation made application for
the lease President Merrifield op-
posed it, claiming that the location
would be very undesirable for the
good of the university. Before TIE
president had finished his remarks on
the subject the members of the com
mittee felt as he did that the location
would not prove desirable one, and
when the board rejected the applica-
ton at the meeting there was no dis
appointment and the members of the
committee felt that the action taken
was for the best The trustees trans
acted a large amount Of routine bust
ness before adjournment and directed
the president to select man to fill
the position made vacant by the res
ignation of Prof. Rollefson.
