Yesterdays practice was devoted to
preparing the men for the game with
Colby today. the first game Of the season.
After the customary punting and pre-
Iiminary work the varsity and scrub
were lined up. The scrub kicked of. and
IN about ten minutes the varsity had
scored. with Russ carrying the ball. Then
the scrub was given the ball on the ten
yard line, and on the third down Rackle
had taken the ball over the goal line. The
varsity, aided by Keene's 30-yard run
and Zlmowskis line bucknR and hurd
ling, scored again after a desperate rally
by the scrub. The men were then sent
60 the training quarters, most OF them
IN a winded condition.
The lineup for today's game will
probably be: Golfer. center; MacGregor
tackles: Hascall and Scudder. ends:
Schwartz. quarter: Chase. Keene and
Curtis. half backs; zimowski. and Heck
man. full back.

FIGHT ENDS
PEACEFULLY
Waged Big Battle With nanl-
man Interests Over Southern
Pacific Railroad.

New York. Sept 3o-The bitter fght be-
tween James X. Keene and f.. III. Har-
riman over the Southern Pacific railroad.
which kept Wall street in trepidation dur
Ing the spring months and was one Of the
initial causes OF the unsettling uf stock
market values. has come TO an end
The suit brought by Talbot Taylor
& Co. Mr.. Keene's firm, against the
Union Pacific railroad to prevent II from
voting 10000 shares of Southern Pacific
stock. has heen discontinued. Edward
Lauterbsch, counsel for Mr.. Keene has
said:
The matter has been amicably set
tied. Within few days an order for
the discontinusnce OF all proceedings will
be filed with the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals in Cincinnati
Mr. Lauterbach refused TO go into tho
details OF the settlement IL was the
general opinion that Mr.. Keene had de-
cided Il was a useless waste OF energy
and money 10 carry the litigation further.
and had simply decided TO abandon the
suit. Since the bringing OF the suit the
Hartman interests have been heavy pur-
chasers Of Southern Pacific stock and In
addition TO the 80. 600 shares owned out
right by the Union Pacific railroad now
have control OF more than half OF all the
minority stock.
This has made the position OF the Har-
riman- Union Pacific interests practical
ly impregnable.
The fight waged so long by Mr.. Keene
against Mr.. Hartman was in all OF its
developments most unfortunate for the
general speculstor. II brought about the
failure OF Talbot j. Talbot q Co. on
July a last. and before that notable
crash a pool which Mr. Keene had form
ed in Southern Pacific stock lost immense
sums TO those who Joined fortunes with
Mr.. Keene In that venture.
The pool acquired 244.00 shares OF stock
between February and December OF 19c2
at prices ranging from 64s4 TO ~ share
paying In all sl6,66e. sS7. Mr.. Keene ex-
pected that the Southern Pacific stock
would be placed on a dividend basis
which would enable the pool to sell out at
a large profit.
The Hartman interests refused TO pay
dividends on the stock. declaring that the
immense earnings OF the system should
go into betterments and improvements.
The pool expired on April 10. the subscr,b-
ing members received their stock ani
have since sold out at great loss.
Southern Pacific yesterday sold down TO
Ssh
Just before the expiration OF the pool,
Mr.. Keene, through Taylor & Co. brought
suit in Kentucky against the Union Pa
cifc road, When the case came up In
the United States courts. decision was
rendered against Taylor & Co. and steps
were al once taken TO appeal. The case
on appeal was TO have come UP shortly.
The debts OF Taylor & Co. were set
tied recently. and Mr.. Taylor. who is Mr..
Keene's son-in-law. was readmitted TO

The governor refused TO see Mrs. Van
Wormer. who, in garb OF deepest black
and with tears streaming from her eyes.
waited patiently for his coming. He
feared TO trust himself face TO fItce with
the steumother OF the boys. because he
himself was pained beyond expression.
He knew he must deny Mrs. Van Wor-
mer's appeal, and, although he heard
her agonized appeal through the half
opened door he could make no further
Sign.
Stenographer Mcknight was the me-
dium through which the governor made
known his decision. Mcknight did not
relish his mission as he left the gov
ernors inner office and went out into
the main executive chamber where Mrs.
Van Wormer, with her cousin. Mrs.
Isaac Van Syck. was sitting. He ad-
vsnced slowly toward the sornowing
woman and said
you. He instructs me TO say that a meet
ing would give both you and him un-
necessary pain. As man and citizen
he has the greatest sympathy, but as
governor he must decline 10 take further
action"
Mrs. Van Wormer burst into hysterical
sobs and tears while her body rocked

Her grief was pitiful. Finally she wac

to the egg in the bottle it will do to the
egg or meat in the stomach and nothing
so safely and effectually Even a little
child can take stuart's Tablets with safe

Eastern Railroad Men Tell of Advanc,
In Rates.

Eastern Railroad Men Tell of Advances
In Rates.
The interstate commerce commission
gave hearing yesterday in the matter of
recent advances in freight rates on grain
and grain products, dressed meats and
packing house products, iron, etc. Vice
President Chamberlain and Willard Of the
Erie railway, Freight Traffic Manager
Joyce of the Pennsylvania railway, and
Freight Traffic Manager Mitchell Of the
Michigan Central, testified. Their testi-
.mony was a reiteration Of the statements
made by the formal answers of their roads
to the commissions circular Of inquiry,
the answers alleging as a cause for the
advance in rate the differing comm ercial
conditions, vast improvements made and
projected increased cost Of materials and
supplies and of transportation, etc. Mr..
Joyce, among others, was asked about the
meeting of the officials of the various
roads at which the increases were decided
on. He said that there was no under
standing as such, and that the roads have
not increased their rates in any way.
Replying to the question of the COM
mission, he said that, SO far as rates were
concerned, the iron freight would have
come to Pennsylvania under any contin-
gency He, like the others, denied that
recent merging of some Of the roads was
the cause Of the tariff advances.
