New Scheme Which VIII Enable Pas

An invention that may prove far
reaching in its Importance was ex-
hibfted yesterday by Mr. B. Reps
dorph. says the Houston Post
The invention consists of new de-
sign for car seats, by which two seats

his possession showing the operation
of his invention, on which a patent
has been issued and the papers for
which Will be received in a few days.
According to Mr.. Repsdorph's plan,
the seats in a car viii not differ in
appearance or style from those now
in vogue but by the use of a wheel
which works within the aisle end of
the upper part of the seat and a lock.

Mr.. Repsdorph has not yet placed
his right, but states that the improved

Mr. Repsdorph believes that if his

RILL TALKS OF HARTMAN.
says Ills Rival Is Trying to secure
Control of Northern Pacific.

JAMES J. Hill. who was in Chicago
Friday, II an interview relating TO
Northern Securities matters, said:
Mr.. Hartman undoubtedly is try
ing TO secure control of the Northern
Pacific. That is easy for anyone to
see However, the laws of several of
the states through which the Oregon
Short Line and the Northern Pacific
run are utterly opposed to such owner
ship or control and presume he would
be prevented from accomplishing his
purpose by those laws.
Asked whether Mr.. Hartman would
secure control Of the road in event the
courts sustain his views regarding the
redistribution of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific stock. Mr.. Hill re-
piled He would not in nv opinion -
In the Harriman-Pierc petition it is
stated that Mr.. Hartman received
nearly 9 million dollars. together with
Northern Securities stock. in exchange
for Northern Pacific stock
When asked why this sum was given
Mr.. Hartman. Mr.. Hill replied: 1T
was part of the purchase price of the
common and preferred Northern Pa
cific stock held by Mr.. Hartman. He
sold his Northern Pacific stock abso-
lutely and did not exchange it."
In speaking Of the Pierce suit, Mr..
Hill said:
Mr.. Hartman claims that it is a
friendly suit. That is all I know about
il"
Speaking generally Of the securities
decision. Mr.. Hill said:
The supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the circuit court and in
order TO comply with the terms Of that
decree the Northern Securities com
pany is making a rateable distribution
of its railway stocks In view Of the
fact that there We're more than $4,000
transfers and retransfe-s, this is the
only equitable distribution that could
possibly be made. That question, will,
however. be determined by the courts
Every stockholder has a right to have
his legal status determined by the
courts if he sees fit The Union Pacific
interests have the same right in this

Omaha, April 9.-According to both
Burlington and Union Pacific railroad
officials in Omaha the fight now being
waged between Hill and Hartman over
the distribution of the Northern Securi-
ties company's holdings is really for
control OF the Burlington road rather
than for the Northern Pacific. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
jointly own the Burlington. and should
the stock now held by the Northern Sc
eurities be distributed as Hartman
wishes, the holdings Of Union Pacific
together with recent purchases would
give Hartman control of the Burlington
through the Northern Pacific
