HARMONY IN SEABoARD.
Opposition to Reorganization Scheme
Withdrawn-Plan Outlined.

At the close of the monthly meeting of
the Seaboard Air Line directors In New
York yesterday it was learned that the
threatened opposition 20 the reorganization
has been withdrawn. Ladenburg, Thalman
& Co., who were reported as heading the
movement to oppose the scheme, are now
working in harmony with Blair & Co,
Thomas F. Ryan and the others in control
of the road.
The plan as outlined Is a thoroughly COM
prehensive one and will provide for the flu
ture needs and developments Of the road
for many years to come Particular care
has been taken to provide that all stock
holders, from the owners OF small lots OF
shares to those who have heavy interests in
the securities, will partake alike, in proper
ton TO their holdings, Of the benefits TO be
derived from the money to be raised by the
reorganization.
1t is denied that j. p. Morgan & Co are
trying to acquire the road or that they are
supporting a plan to enter ii in commu-
nity-of-interest agreement with the South
ern railway and the Atlantic Coast Line.
1t is pointed out that any such arrange
ment would meet with strong opposition in
the south and that it would also be pro-
hibited by the state laws.

FEDERAL CONTROL usuRpArIoN.
Ex-Attorney General Griggs' Opinion
of Government MANAGEMENT.

The recommendation of COMMISSIONS OF
Corporations Garfield that the federal gov
eminent license and control all corporations
doing interstate business has aroused a re-
markable division of opinion among persons
interested. Many corporation lawyers have
expressed strong opposition to such sys
tenn as tending to dangerous Capitalization
of government. On the other hand. officers
of corporations affected are on record
favoring national charters as favorable TO
their business.
These opposing views are presented by
John w. GriggS, corporation lawyer and
former Attorney General in President Nc
kinley's cabinet, and s. c. L. Doda. gem
eral counsel for the Standard Oil Company.
Mr.. Griggs declares in part as follows:
The object to be accomplished by sub
jecting corporations engaged in interstate
commerce to a system of federal license is
not the regulation of commerce, but the
regulation of companies incorporated by the
states.
The purpose is not to require them 10
conform in their business operations to gen
eral rules of interstate trade. applicable
alike to natural persons and chartered COM
panies, but to supervise and control their
to their shareholders. their creditors their
so far as that public may deal in corporate
shares or securities.
This is not a question to be decided by
the amount OF public harm that comes from
trusts or great aggregations of capital. 1t
is a question that involves the rights and
powers of the national and state govern
ments under their respective jurisdictions

Plain Drunk Hats Subway Trains.

A drunk tied UP the subway traffic in
New York city for nearly twenty minutes
during the rush at $50 o'clock last night.
He doomed up on the downtown platform
of the 50th street station, and after de-
livering an eloquent plea in favor of the
water wagon, jumped on the southbound
local track and began to play puss in the
corner among the posts between the
tracks. He narrowly escaped a south
bound express by scampering onto the
north track. A Harlem torpedo whizzed
up that track, but not before the jag had
skipped over to the north local. Ticket
choppers deserted their posts and the
sellers of coupons forgot that the road
hoped to declare big dividend and be-
gan chasing the drunk. One of the en-
ployes was thoughtful enough to pull
the danger signal at one end of the plat
FORM and this stopped all trains before
they reached the station.
There were about twenty passengers on
the down town platform, and nearly as
many on the opposite side. They yelled at
the gentleman with the jag while he
was chased along the tracks and finally
nabbed half a block north of the station
on the uptown local track. He was
yanked back to the platform and dragged
up by the nape of this neck. Somebody
had telephoned call for help to police
headquarters, but when the police got
there the drunk had got away.

SAM CHEZ INDICTED.
Charged with Violation Of the Chinese
immigration Law.

The bureau of immigration has received
word of the indictment at Chicago of Sam
Chez, a Chinese, for aiding and abetting
the entry into the United States of fell
low countryman. The extreme penalty for
this offense is $1,000 fine and one year i'm
prisonment, and the commissioner of i'm
migration is in hopes that it will be In
fiicted. the case being particularly flag
rant violation of the law and the sur
roundings specially atrocious.
The man whom Sam Chez attempted to
smuggle into the United States Is dead, as
result of the work of the gang in charge
of the operation. He was frozen to death
in refrigerator car bound from Windsor.
Ontario. to Detroit. The plan of the
Chinese to smuggle the man, Leong
Dick. into the country aboard a refrigerator
car at Windsor and have him removed at
Detroit The ultimate destination of the
car was ST. Louis, and a severe storm
thwarted the plan, and the man was not
taken from the car, which proceeded on It's
way. 1t went to Chicago from Detroit,
thence to st. Paul, and eventually got TO
st. Louis When it was opened the body
of Leong Dick was found frozen stiff.
Two cousins of the dead man, Leong
Dock and Leong Man. swore to an in
Spector of the immigration service that
they had paid Sam Chez $500 to get their
cousin into the United States. Sam is a
prominent Chinese merchant of Chicago
and denied the allegation of the cousins.
A special inspector was put in charge of
the case and learned that the statement
of the cousins is true and that Sam Chez
is the guilty man.
Sam tried first to buy off the cousins and
then threatened them with death if they
did not retract their statements. but they
held to them, and he indictment followed.
When the trial was called counsel for Sam
Chez told the court that his client was i'll
and asked postponement. An inspector,
with a doctor of the immigration service,
went with Sans counsel to the former
home and there found that the Chinese had
been taking opium in order to produce pal
pitation of the heart and in other ways to
simulate illness. The government physi-
clan pronounced the case one of fegned
illness and ordered the man brought to
court. The result will be soon known, al
though there is at present a recess of the
court

GIRLS DEATH MYSTERY
Jockey Hoar Met Her Here and They
Went to New York

Jockey John ]. Hoar made a statement to
the police in New York yesterday that prac-
ucally cleared the mystery of the death of
Cecile Moss, who jumped from third-storv
window in that city Tuesday. There is no
longer any suspicion of foul play, and last
night the authorities permitted two girl
friends to send her body to Lancaster. Pa,
where her mother will receive it.
Hoar, who is to return to Russia next
March and resume riding for Prince Lon
dorinski, said:
II met the girl first in the boarding house
of Mrs Myrtle Ray, in Washington, D. c.,
on November q. The last of November we
came here and went to the Minot Hotel,
where we lived as Mr. and Mrs. John Hail.
'On December 26 we lift there, and she
went to the boarding house of Mrs. Webb.
l have never been at Mrs Webb's house.
At . o'clock that night l got Cecile on the
phone and she said she liked the place. She
asked me to come to see her that night.
replied, Not tonight
Later l called up the house and asked
that Cecile be informed that I would call
shortly. An officer told me TO come right
down, as the girl was very sick. l cannot
in any way account for her rash act

DENOUNCED AS "FAKES."
Senior Pulido on Published Reports Re
garding Castro's Administration.

Senior Don Pulido, charge d'affaires of
the Venezuelan legation in this city, has
made a statement in regard to recently
published reports tending to discredit the
administration Of President Castro of Ven
ezuela and to disturb the friendly relations
hitherto existing between the United States
and the South American republic.
Unless it is done to create a sensation"
said Senior Pulido, Il do not see the reason
why certain newspapers should be intent
upon doing my country all possible harm
by the publication of faxed stories about
President Castro and slanderous reports
on the condition of affairs in Venezuela
which seem to be a page torn from some
old book on the inquisiton or tales from
feudal medieval baron. Aside from the
sensational, unless such reports are pub
lshed to vent some personal spite | cannot
see the reason they are made public.
OF course, the educated American is far
too clever to give credence to such tales
nave resided long enough in this country
10 fully understand the most prominent
characteristics of the American people and
to appreciate their spirit of fairness and
sound common sense, and so / am confident
that no thinking American will believe such
stories"

MADE COMPACT TO DIE.
Survivor of Suicide Plan Tells Why
Both Sought Death.

Dying i'm Bellevue Hospital. New York
last night Benjamin Riley whispered to
Coroner Schoer the strange tale OF
suicide compact he had made with his
chum, Orestes Weed. who died soon after
the two men had been discovered I'M
conscious yesterday at the Grand Union
Hotel.
Meeting in Boston while each was trying
to while away the hours of a dreary Christ
mas day, these two young business men,
both of splendid social standing, decided
that life without money was not worth liv-
ing, and together they came to the Grand
Union Hotel where they shared dose OF
morphine.
Orestes Weed was a brother of Mrs. w.
ii. Sprag widow of Rhode Islands war
governor, and of Mrs. Gerritt S. Wheaton
of Washington, widow of the Standard oil
magnate, and in his haste to shape his
destiny forgot his handsome wife and two
ton. Riley belongs to an excellent family
of Springfield Mass.
About an. yesterday morning the hotel
on the second floor. Special Policeman
Carey, employed in the hotel. found Riley
wrapped in blanket lying on the stairs.
My friend is dying! My friend is dy-
ingr Riley was crying.
In the room occupied by the two young
men Carey found Weed lying unconscious
on the bed. Two doctors were quickly
called but Weed despite work with
stomach pump, remained insensible and
died. Riley rallied slightly. When told
that his friend was dead, Riley cried. 1T
can't be truel''
The men registered as J. T. Hin of
Haverhill Conn. and l.. NJ. Hart of Hart
ford. II was some time before their iden-
fifty was discovered and Mrs. Weed notified.
Last night the wife was speeding to New
York. Orestes Alvord Weed, as the brother
of Mrs. William Sprasue and of Mrs.
Wheaton. had entry into the best society
of the east and was popular in social
circles of Washington. Boston and Provi-
dence.
Three years ago he won for his bride
Miss katherine Ruffin de Roulhac of Hills
boro. n. c., a noted beauty and member of
one of the Oldest families in the state.
1t was somewhat remarkable that Weeds
sister IneZ became the second wife of
Gov Sprague, and that another sister,
Avis should marry the governors son.
The latter subsequently married Everltt
Smith Wheaton of Cleveland.
Gov. Sprague. who with a shotgun chased
Roscoe Conklin from Canonchet, his es-
tate AT Nara gansett Pier, because ifs
made love to the first Mrs. Sprague. took
down the gun again in the summer of 1900
and ordered Weed from the place, declar-
ing that Weed was making love TO his
seventeen-year-old daughter and Mr.
Weeds own niece. Soon after the love
affair of Mr.. Weed ami his beautiful niece
a report from St Louis said that he
engaged to Miss Eugene c. Maginnis
daughter of James y. Maginnis, a wealthy
merchant of st. Louis.
