THAT L. &N. DEAL
Is Being Investigated by Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

New York March 27-The interstate
commerce commission met here today
to investigate the turning over of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad control
to the Atlantic Coast Line.
Edwin Hawley, an associate of John
W. Gates, said he attended several con-
ferences looking to the sales of the
Louisville & Nashville line to J. P Nor
gan, while J. S. Williams had offered
100 to 135 for the controlling interest in
the stock of the road. George W. Per
kins, the witness said, represented Mr.
Morgan while Mr.. Gates was the prin-
cipal on the other side
We had nothing to do with the rela-
tons to the various roads" the witness
said. we were discussing the possibility
Of obtaining the l. e N. stock and we
talked of nothing else.'
John T. Harris of Harris, Gates & Co.
said that when the option was sold to
j. P. Morgan & Co his firm controlled
206000 shares and that the price paid
was 1903 to 10. We got 100 for 100, 600
shares and $50 for the remaining 106-
000n
J. S. Williams of the Seaboard Air
Line said he asked Mr.. Perkins
whether Mr.. Morgan would sell the L.
& N, and that Mr.. Perkins replied that
it was not likely that Mr.. Morgan would
sell to any interests his firm could not
control and then asked the price of the
SeabOard Air Line. He understood it
was Mr.. Morgans idea to sell the J.. &
N TO interests that would not conflict
with the Southern railroad.

Has Trouble with Els Wife.

The African Methodist church is rent
over the breaking up of the family of
the pastor the Rev. L S Wilson. whose
wife has been forced to resort to legal
procedure for the recovery of her chill

troubles in the case and allegations of
infidelity against the husband. On

have seereted them under the care of
colored woman named Matilda Me-
Cleary. Efforts to locate the McClearY
lsshe is said to live somewhere in the
east part of North Topeka.
Among the members of the colored
church where Mr.. Wilson breaches he is
quite popular but strong feeling has
grown I'D against him since the COM
mencement of his family troubles. At
ter quaIrehng for some time the Viii
sons. separated several weeks ago and
Mr. Wilson commenced boarding with
the neighbors His children remained
at home until on Wednesday he induc-
ed the three to leave home. The colofed
brethren and sisters in the church have
been inclined to side with the pastor
until this move but there is now strong
talk of causing his removal from the
pulpit.
on Thursday afternoon Mrs Wilson
appeared before the probate court and
secured writ of habeas corpus for the
recovery of her children. Wilson him
self can not be located although he IS
thought to be in town and no service Of

SENATOR FULT0Ns ATTITUDE.

Senator Fulton is throwing himself
into fne country's business with an en-
thnsiasm and good sense that is deserv-
ing Of much credit. says the Deschutes
Echo. In the first place he has not cur
ried favor with the administration at
the expense of Oregon, as he might
have done. Instead, he stalwartIy
sought to bring the administration to a
perception Of the wrong that Hitchcock
is doing to the good name and property
interests of this state. The corruption
OF the interior department and the for
est reserve policy have drawn to Oregon
a heterogeneous clas Of forestry scrip
SPECTATORS whose sole stock in trade is
information from Washington obtained
by bribery. Concerning this line of
work, Fulton has said things that have
penetrated Richards thick skin and
caused him to send Pinchot to the coast
to lecture and to inspire the recent
Series Of articles on reserves which ap-
pearad in the Oregonian. Fulton has
also declared his intention to work Tor
the Nicaragua canal, as against the
Panama canal, and show the corrupt
beggars of Colombia that they are deal
ing with nation, that has motto OF
mo tribute for nearly a century. The
policy advocated by Fulton is the
only manly and effective method that
our country can now pursue and his at
titude is eminently statesmanlike.
