CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4-The announce
ment of the decision in the case of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Western
Union Telegraph Company. so stub
bornly fought up to the court Of last re-
sort, is expected tomorrow in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. The
belief is general in Washington to-
night that the case will go against the
Western Union Company, and one ru-
NOR has it that the court is almost
unanimously in favor of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad contention. there being
but one dissenting opinion.
The case involves the removal of the
Western Union telegraph poles from all
property controlled by the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. and, incidentally, very
stiff fight between President Cassatt of
the railroad and all Gould interests. At
the expiration of the term of lease
agreed upon the Pennsylvania notified
the Western Union officials that their
poles must be removed along the line
of the road in Pennsylvania. The tele-
graph company refused to do this, and
the railroad officials ordered their men
to cut down the poles without further
delay. This was done, and the result
was a case in court.
The lower courts and the United
States Court of Appeals found in favor
of the railroad, and it is now expected
here that the Supreme Court of the
United States will sustain these deci-
sions, holding that the road had the
right to exclude the telegraph poles
from its property at the end of the term
of lease.
If this be the decision 1t means a
victory for the railroad company and
the probable exclusion of Western In
ion wires and poles from all property
controlled by the railroad, whether in
the State of Pennsylvania or not In
some States the leases have not yet ex-
pired.

Pacific Mail Pact Is
Under COlSid-
GRAFTON.
AbrOgatiOn Of Panama Rail
road Privileges Ap-
pears Probable.
Canal Commission Expects Strong
Opposition From the Harri-
man Interests.
Special Dispatch to The Call

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Presi-
dent has under consideration the ques-
ton Of abrogating the contract be-
tween the Panama Railroad and the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company A
report has been made by the Isthmian
Canal Commission, though the COM
mission does not make definite recon-
mendations. Questions of policy are
involved which viii require the per
sonal decision of the President, after a
consultation with Secretary Taft.
1t is understood that the canal COM
missioners have reported to the Presi-
dent that, in their opinion, an increase
of business would result from the
abrogation OF the contract with the
Pacific Mail because of the lower rates
that would be offered by tramp steam
ships competing with the Pacific Mail.
These low rates would attract much
overland business and the probable re-
suit would be a lowering of transcon-
tinental railroad rates to meet this
competition. The Pacific Mail itself, If
it follow its precedents, will cut rates
to drive away competition on the west
ern coast.
The canal commissioners expect to
encounter the strongest opposition from
the Hartman interests in their efforts
to terminate the contract.
A member of the commission limited
to-day that If the railroad interests
should appoint Benjamin B. OdeII Jr.
president of the Pacific Mail in the
hope that he would use his influence
with the President to continue the con-
tract, they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. No intimation has come from
the President regarding his attitude
on the subject, but Secretary Taft has
indicated that in due time the relations
of the Panama Railroad and the Pa
cific Mail would be severed.

of harmony and OF settling the dispute
over who shall be chairman of the
county committee without bitter con-
test are in earnest has been demon
strated by the position taken by
Charles n. Elliott, the retiring chair
man, and the discovery has caused
Democrats here who have been doing
heap of talking about the fight in
which their opponents were sure to be
involved to take water. Elliott has
called for a conference between Col.
Smith and Sheriff MetZger, the rival
candidates for the position of chair
man, when the details of the coming
primaries and the fixing of the date
for the same will be amicably settled
by the two men most interested. The
Democratic organ here has been tell
ing of the preparations being made
by the men who are the close friends
of former Mayor Bookwalter to steal
the election and put Metzger in FL
liott's seat. The conference Elliott
has called to allow the candidates
themselves to agree on the details for
the primaries when it is obvious that
neither will be made has caused the
organ 20 stop it's chatter. Both Col.
Smith and Mr.. Metzger have asserted
their willingness to get together on
this proposition. This means that the
bitterness on which the Democrats
have been counting will not material
ize and that while the race VIII not
close until the chairman has been
elected the contest win be carried On
in all friendliness and that after the
affair is over there viii he no hard
feeling on any side.

A new plan has been inaugurated

great success il the results OF the first

Cooks plan is to hold graduating ex-

year. There are eight grades in the
course here and each year has two
terms. Hitherto there have never
been any exercises to mark the ending
of the first term. Superintendent Cook
is a believer in the theory that a little
demonstration in celebration of the
completion of each terms work by the
pupils will spur them to greater en-
deavors. The remembrance of the
graduation exercises will stay with the
pupils for several weeks, and this in
sures that they enter on the studies
of the next term with awakened inter
est The plan was inaugurated at the
mid-year graduation which has just
been passed, and in the future it will
be continued. at least as long as Mr..
