United States negotiated another trca-

was made after Kratz had escaped to
Mexico there was further difficulty and

Acting Secretary Of War, to-day acted on
the petition Of the st. Louis Merchants
Bridge Terminal Railway Company for an
extension Of time within which to show
cause why the Merchants Bridge at st
Louis should not he taken possession Of

Secretary Root some time ago gave
the company thirty days within which to
answer the charge against it Of violating
the terms Of its charter, but the company
petitioned for an extension OF this time for
six months, This Acting Secretary Oliver
decided he would not grant, as he considers
that an extension until Dec. will give the
company ample time within which to pre-
pare it's defence
The Merchants Bridge was constructed
under a peculiar charter. which provided
that il at any time the company should
pool its earnings with any other bridge
company or should combine with any other
bridge company. the Merchants Bridge
should become the property Of the United
