TRUST FEUD
AT AN END
Warning Interests
Compromise Diff
ferenCeS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-After frequent
conferences, the long fight between the
Sheldon reorganizing committee in the
United States Shipbuilding Company
and the bondholders' protective COM
mittee, represented by Samuel Inter
meyer, was settled tonight by the
formulation of a new plan, which has
been agreed to by both sides, and the
litigation in which Charles NJ. Schwab
has been the central figure will end.
Max Pam has been removed from the
reorganization committee and Pliny
Fisk, the banker, whose house will
take part of the work of financing the
new company, takes his place. Max
Nathan of the International Pump
Company has been agreed on as an
additional member of the committee to
represent the protective committee.
The new plan made public by Will
liam Nelson Cromwell is put out as
coming from Receiver Smith and pro
vides for a new company with capi-
talization of $50, O,OOO,O 900. half preferred
and half common. Schwab, as owner
of the Bethlehem bonds, will get SO, ,O00,:
OuU OI UIeleIIeu anu SOsuUusUuO OI COID-
mon stock, and the first mortgage
bondholders get the remainder, pro
rata. Schwab gives up his prior lien
on Bethlehem and all the present
stock is wiped out. The preferred
stock is to be per cent non-cumula-
tive.
There are to be issued IS, 900, 900 Of col
lateral trust sinking fund per cent
ten-year gold bonds, which are to be
taken up by a syndicate Of which the
Morton Trust Company and Thomas F.
Ryan are to be managers and Harvey
Fisk & Sons participants, the latter to
market the bonds. These bonds are to
be sold to the syndicate at $S75 per
$1,000.
Former Secretary of War Root Is
counsel for the syndicate managers.
The new organization committee will
consist of George r. Sheldon, chair
man; Charles S. Fairchild, John E.
Borne, Pliny Fisk. Charles w. Wet
more and Max Nathan.
Other terms of the compromise to
which both sides gave up many things
which they had fought for up to the
last moment, include a provision that
the expenses of the fight of the bond
holders protective committee shall be
paid as a part of the expenses of re-
organization.
The pending case in court will have
to go on formally, and the matter OF
testing the validity Of the so-called
fraudulent" bonds will be taken up in
earnest. No mention of these bonds is
made in the compromise plan. Crom-
we'll refused to say whether this left
asserting bondholders free to attack
their validity. Untermeyer declared
that it did. At any rate they may be
attacked by non-assenting bondholders.
and some bonds may be left unassent-
ing for the purpose.

PHYSICIANS
SAY HANNA
MUST REST
Doom the Patient to
Months Of In
activity.
Dangerous Crisis in His
Illness Has Not Yet
Been Passed.
Senator Is Completely Worn Out and
Must Go Into Retirement Should
He Recover.
Special Dispatch to The can.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. HOTEL
BARTON. WASHINGTON, Feb. A.
Senator Hanna is in a precarious con-
dition- II was clear tonight that the
crisis in his illness had not been
reached and the best that could be
held out to his friends was that. should
he recover. he would be compelled 70
abstain from business and other ac-
aivity for months. II was feared this
morning that Senator Hanna was going
40 develop symptoms OF Bright's dis
ease or that his heart weakness might
add 10 the complications Of his illness.
II was also thought possible that he
had malaria
When oDr. Brewer arrived from
New York this morning a consultation
was held by him with DR.. Rixey and
Dr. Magruder Of this city. The con-
sultation lasted during most of the
forenoon. The result Of it was that the
doctors were considerably puzzled.
Hanna had all the symptoms Of suf-
fering from long attack Of the grip
and exhaustion. a thorough physical
examination was made. II revealed
that while most Of the organs were
without any pronounced disease. all
were more or less affected.
COMPLICATION OF AILMENTS.
Senator Hannas heart action was
found TO be bad; his kidneys were not
working well; his liver was in very bad
81
ing at all, and would not even assiui-
late milk; his lungs were slightly af-
fected and there were other all
ments which tended to complicate the
case, in addition 70 loss Of strength and
nervous energy.
The doctors issued q bulletin in which
they announced that Senator Hanna
was suffering from a recurrence of the
grip and with an unusual amount Of
depression, but that there were no
alarming symptoms and no reason to
believe that recovery would not take
place in reasonable time. This rather
negative bulletin failed to inspire con-
hdence when ii became known that
samples OF Senator Hanna's blood had
been obtained for bacteriological ex-
animation and that other examinations
were 70 be made.
OPIATES TO INDUCE REST.
There was no change in Senator
Hanna's condition this afternoon. He
rested under opiates. The Senator's
condition led his friends to believe that
typhoid fever was developing DR..
Rixey would not express any opinion
on the case.
The Senator's family will feel much
relieved II the symptoms which he has
now should develop into typhoid fever
and\ nothing worse. Last night they
were much alarmed lest his illness
might be absolutely helpless While
his system is run down, the Senator's
temperament is such that they believe
he could combat an attack Of typhoid
fever
The doctors do not appear to take
sanguine views. They regard Senator
Hanna as a man who is completely
worn ont, in addition to being iii, His
whole constitution is near collapse.
They say that If the crisis can be
averted the Senator viii be lucky and
that his restoration to complete health
viii be a matter Of months, which will
require complete avoidance of work
Of all kinds.

BURLINGTON FOR DEBOER.

If the Republican convention for
the nomination of candidates for State
offices is anything like the Burlington
Republican caucus for the election of
delegates to the State convention,
the unwonted calm which has charac-
terized the gubernatorial campaign
will eliminate in sharp contest in
the convention itself, as strenuous as
it is sudden. When we spoke of a
growing DeBoer sentiment q short
time since. there was a disposition in
some quarters to make light of the
statement, and up to the eve OF the
city caucus the principal talk that
appeared on the surface in this city
was of a list of delegates to support
Stanton for the governorship.
The discovery was made, however.
that it was simply necessary to give
the DeBoer sentiment chance to ex
press itself, and when at the last mo-
ment ticket in his support was put
in the field there was rush to it on
the part of many representative citizens
of all classes which swept it to vic
tory, the DeBoer ticket receiving 219
votes to POI cast for the Stanton
ticket. Many people supposed there
would be no contest, else the total
vote would have been larger.
The effect of this demonstration OF
DeBoer's strength following the cleo
tion of DeBoer delegations by Mont
pelier, Barre, and other towns, car
hardly fail to nave a far reaching
effect throughout the State. 1t will
be strange if other towns do not show
similar results under similar circum.
stances and conditions. Free Press.

THE CANVASS FOR GOVERNOR,

Some contemporaries have affected
to pooh pooh The Messengers opinion
expressed shortly after the Republican
State convention, April 20, that there
was not the lively interest that may
have been expected throughout the
State in the canvass for the nomina-
tiou for Governor of either Charles
J. Bell of Walden, or Lieut. Gov. Zed
S. Stanton of Roxbury," and the judg-
ment of this paper, expressed month
later, when events had still more en-
phaticslly confirmed the first impress
sion, that there is strong underour-
rent of popular favor for Mr.. DeBoer,
that it is stronger and more enthusi-
astic than the sentiment for either Mr..
Stanton or Mr.. Bell. and that it has
originated and intensified without the
aid of political organization or ma
chinery."
Perhaps the result of the Republi-
can caucus in Burlington Saturday
night will convince a few Vermont
newspapers that the sentiment for De-
Beer is something beside mere news
paper talk as some of them have
called it If the city of Burlington
can be carried for him by hurriedly
pioked-up organization at the
eleventh hour against an organization
that has been at work several months,
it ought to be pretty satisfactory evil
dence to most fair minded men that
the DeBoer sentiment is just what
The Messenger has said it is, and
that there is reasonable probability
that in all the other cities and towns
in Vermont there there are more or
less DeBoer men only wanting or
ganization to show strength. In
deed, Montpelier, Barre, and Rutland
are already numbered with Burling-
ton in the DeBore ranks, and that too,
without a preliminary canvass. st.

awa- its childish habits OF wasting
time on inconsqeuential matters and
take up there really important ques-
tions and others like them Hedgehog
and dog license legislation should give
place to the discussion and enactment
of laws that will materially benefit
Vermont and develope her resources
So 1t is the first duty of the voters this
year to choose men especially capable
of wise action upon these larger ques-
tions. Elect the kind of men that
should go to the Legislature and there
will be no occasion to instruct or at
tempt to control them by the conven-
ton Let the convention attend to its
own special duties, which are impor-
tant of themselves, but let che Legis-
lature alone to do its work. Above
all, select able and honest Senators

VILLAGE MEETING.

Northfield, June 2l.-At the adj
journed annual meeting, held in viii
lage hall last night, it was voted to
purchase the Holland system of
springs, situated north of the village,
for 50, 500. These springs have been
carefully measured by competent en-
gineers, and their report shows that
they will furnish an abundant supply
for the village for domestic use and
fire protection, and this step means
that Mortified will soon have one of
the best water systems in Vermont.
Harry Moseley presented his resign
alton as village trustee, and it was
accepted, and Fred Davis was elected
to fill the vacancy. The resignation
of James Clough as water commission
or was accepted, and the vacancy was
filled by the election Of g. r. An
drews.
The matter of police protection was
brought up, and the trustees were
instructed to have policeman on
duty from p. m. till after the ar
rival of the night trains.

trustees found at their meeting in the
morning that all bills we're paid or
about to be paid and that small bal
ance of money is still left as a surplus.
This is due to the large number OF
pupils that have been in attendance
and to the increased endowment of
the school. Announcement was made
that the sum which would come to
Goddard by the will of the late W
f. Brsmsn, of Montpelier, would be
about $40, 900 and that another be-
quest OF smaller and unstated
amount was to come from Bethel by
the will of deceased lady of that
village. Among the other speakers
were Prof. William r. Shipman of
Tufts College, president of the board
of trustees, Judge Alland G. Fay, f.
S. Williams, Mark Berry, Miss Flor
ence Sturtevant, Ira @. Calef, H Aus
tin futile and Mrs Stella 7. Averill.
The trustees voted to petition the
Legislature for an increase in the
limit of the endowment of Goddard
