The basis Of the agreement is not

The basis Of the agreement is not
pure friendship. There is little room
for anything like a strong personal
friendship between the two interests.
There will be a show Of such an al
lance, but the real basis Of the en-
tente is the mutual profit Of all, con-
cerned. The Hartman acqulsscence
arises out of the fact that a north Pa
cific connection is wanted and could
only be obtained over Hartman rails
at price that would not be justified.
The Hill acqUiescence is obtained thru
the consciousness of the fact that a
connection would ultimately be OBJ
tanned, even tho at a great price. It
is better for Mr.. Hill to have one line
thru that country than two. The
traffic may easilv grow to accommo-
date the two systems operating over
one road, but it would take consider
ably longer for 1t to grow to accom-
modate two lines with separate rights
of way.
The net result of the clearing away
of all the old causes of friction is
that the northwestern transportation
system and situation is relieved Of one
threatening element, but that the
principle of community Of interest
is again in evidence. OF course the
law does not attempt to make two
roads fight, but public sentiment is
against alliance, however slight and
however legal, between these two in
terests. There is little doubt that the
cooperation Of the two systems, even
tho it should open the new territory
| of Idaho and Oregon and Washington
! to trade, business and civilization,
! would be for years rather unpopular
| measure.

A SIOUX CITY PROPHECY
n SIOOA OII I I'VE aHH7 4
Based on Consolidation Of Ticket o.
fees There,

Prospective consolidation of the Of
fees Of the North-W Western and the
Omaha systems at Sioux City is con-
strued there to be an additional evil
dence that the Omaha Is to be ab-
sorbed. With this as a basis Sioux
City prophets outline a grand scheme
including the abolishing of the Oma-
has general offices at st. Paul, the
elevation of Norfolk to be headquar-
ters for Nebraska and the establish
ment Of Sioux City as headquarters
for northwestern Iowa, Nebraska and
southwestern South Dakota.
AS matter Of fact the prospective
consolidation at Sioux City is not re-
garded as specially significant by gen.
eral officers Of the Omaha at st. Paul.
It is in line with the policy already we'll
worked out at other points where the
two systems touch. In addition, the
Omaha's charter from the state of
Wisconsin is so drawn that. the lden-
tity of that system cannot we'll be
lost, ..

Rebate Accountants Go.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Nearly all the rail-
road companies in the United States are
discharging clerks in their accounting de-
partments because of the general dispos1-
ton strictly to enforce the law against
the paying of rebates to large shippers Of
freight. The practice Of paying rebates,
which is explicitly prohibited by the Elk
ins law, had grown to such an extent that
the services of several clerks in each rail
road office were required to keep rebate
accounts Most of these clerks have re-
ceived notice that there will! be nothing
for them to do after Jan. /.

v. C. PITNEY OBJECTS.
Lawyers Dixon and Golden
horn Irritate Him and He
Asserts His Position
EmphaticaIly.

William Dixon had lively clash in
Chancery Chambers this morning. The
venerable Vice-C Chancellor was apparent
ly not in good humor and, when Mr..
Dixon and his opponent, Lawyer Isaac
Goldenhorn, began to object to each
others questions in a divorce suit, the
vice-Chancellor decided that he had a
right to object also. and he did.
The case on trial was suit for divorce
on the ground of desertion brought by
Henry G. Pitmann, "a New York archi-
'tect, against his wife Fannie.
Lawyer Goldenhorn appeared for Pit
mann, and Lawyer Dixon represented the
defendant.
As soon as the first witness took the
stand Mr.. Goldenhorn began his case.
Lawyer ADixon at once entered swarm
of objections, but the Court waved them
aside as fast as they were entered.
II want these objections of mine to get
on the records" exclaimed Mr.. Dixon
emphatically, because don't intend to
stop at this Court"
The Court ordered the case to proceed
and few minutes later Mr.. Dixon again
entered an objection. but with the same
result.
Then, when witness for the defence
took the stand, the Vice Chancellor start
ed to ask some questions.
Mr.. Dixon was on his feet in a mo-
ment- Il want to eross-examine my own
witnesses" he declared, "and 1 would
like the Court to permit me to do so.'
ut is prerogative of the Court to
ask any questions it may desire" said
the Chancellor, and don't propose
to permit you or anybody else to inter
fere. Go on with your case"

MRS. Van WEIIE
TAKEN HOME.
Mr.. Royston Claims Bis
Sisters Body and Re-
moves It to Balti-
more.
He WILL REAR Her CHILD
Dead Mother Leaves All 20
Her Daughter With Two
Birthday Presents
Named.

The body of Mrs. Louise Van Weike.
the divorced wife Of Baron Wolfhauer,
who killed herself with revolver in the
Hotel Washington Saturday night, was
taken to Baltimore last night by Under
taker Hughes. 1t was accompanied by
Campbell B. Royston, the dead woman 5
foster brother, who came on YESTERDAY
morning to claim it, and also by his law-
yer, Joseph w. Bristor, of the same city.
1t was expected that Charles B. Town
send, director of the New York Aquar-
ium, who had been Mrs. Van Weike's
friend for three years, and who was nam
ed as one of the executors Of her will,
would also accompany the body, but he
did not.
The first meeting between him and
Mr.. Royston, which took place in Chief
Murphy's Office at Police Headquarters
yesterday afternoon, was study. Mr..
Royston, the dead woman's foster broth
er, could not have been more stricken
with grief than if she had been his rial
sister. They had been brought up as
brother and sister, and he loved her as q
sister. He said that little Dorothy, Mrs.
Van Weik's only child, now eleven years
old, and attending private school in
Washington, would be taken to his home
and have all possible care taken Of her.
It was not very dificult matter to in
dnce Charles B. Townsend, as enc Of the
executors of the will, to waive all rights
in connection with the dead woman's s.
will and affairs. It was Mr.. Townsend
to whom the letter found on the mirror
before which Mrs. Van Weik died, ac-
cepting an invitation to dine was written.
He appeared yesterday much detected.
It is believed by many that his failure
to keep an appointment that had been
made and the somewhat cool reception
accorder her since her arrival in New
York after securing her divorce from
Baron VaIfhauer had something to do
with Mrs. Van Weik's determination to
kill herself.
Mr.. Royston treated Mr.. Townsend
with coolness, and the two seemed to
avoid each other as much as possible.
Detective Bennett accompanied Mr..
Royston and the latter's lawyer to New
York, and they secured the articles de-
posted in box in the Garfield Safe De
posit concern. They included the will
and two sealed packages of jewels along
with number Of papers. The packages
Of jewelry were not opened. A list Of
the contents was given and directions or
dering them to be handed to the daughter
Dorothy-one on her fourteenth birthday,
and the other on her twenty first.
