ROAD is HARRIMAN'S
Secures Control of Line Built
by Clark

Los ANGELES. Cal. April 25.-The
Express today says that when the new
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
is formally opened for business Mon
day. ii will be done under signed con-
tracts and agreements that will make
1t as essentially and primarily a part
OF the Hartman system of railroads
as any of the various lines that now
compose that system.
1t is stated that while the control of
the road is formally vested in two in
divlduals-J. Ross Clark, vice presi-
dent of the new road, and personal
representative of his brother, Senator
w. A Clark. and w. II. Bancroft, gen.
eral manager of the Union Pacific, and
the personal representative of f. H.
Harriman-there is in existence a for
NAL signed agreement between the
Judge w. ID. Cornish of Salt Lake City,
first vice president of the Union Pa
chic, shall be the third member of this
board, and to him all matters of disa-
greement between the other members
of the board shall be referred.
The article further states that on
June Is, 1903, there was signed in New
York city by f. II. Hartman, as party
of the first part, and w. A. Clark, as
party of the second part, formal
agreement by which IL was agreed for
a term of ninety-nine years practically
to combine the interests OF the Salt
Lake railroad and the Hartman sys-
tenn in all matters of policy affecting
both lines.

peror Nicholas will mark Easter by
the proclamation of general amnesty
for political and religious prisoners
now confined in the fortresses or pris-
ons of European Russia or who are in
exile. Fears that the Easter holidays,
which extend over thirteen days, will
be the occasion for bloody riots, are
manifested everywhere, and the popu-
lation is becoming distinctly panicky
over the stories which are circulating
of murder, pillage and terrorism on
the part of mobs in various parts of
the country. Even churches, accord
ing to the stories told, are not ex-
empt. The people are being especially
warned not to enter the st. Isaac or
Kazan cathedral or the Church of the
Nevski Monastry. The liberals pre-
tend to believe that such stories are
circulated by the police. In any event
the strain is becoming intense. This
is Holy Week, when all Russia is
usually in sackcloth and ashes, but
the poorer classes, who generally at
tend incessant masses, now spend most
of their time at the doors of the
churches gossiping about what may
happen next week.

SECURES HIS CHILD
Joseph Motto Takes Her From
Foster Mother

Joseph Motto was yesterday awarded
the custody of his year old daughter.
who has been living with her foster
mother, Mrs. Louise Allard, a woman of
Corcoran township, who has some Indian
blood in her veins. Motto, who is the
father of six children, testified that the
mother of the little daughter died when
she was born, and he made arrangements
with Mrs. Allard to care for the child and
paid her a stated sum weekly. When
he sought to secure possession of the lit
tie girl he was denied admission to the
house, and the town constable and his
assistant departed after an exhibition of
axes and guns was made by Mrs Allard
and her two sons. Deputy Sheriff Wood
cock finally succeeded in serving papers in
habeas corpus proceeding and the mat
ter was heard before Judge John Day
Smith yesterday
He awarded the custody of the child to
her father, but the little girl, who had
never known a mothers care, sought TO
cling to her foster mother. and when she
was turned over to the custody of her
father she burst into tears. and the wom-
an who has been-caring for the little one
wept. She kissed the child repeatedly and
finally rushed across the courtroom and
threw her into the arms of her father.
The parties to the controversy are little
verSed in the English language and the
law, and it is expected this is the begin
ming Of trouble between the two families,
and the courts will be busy for some time
to come.

RAILROAD NEWS
REBATE AGREEMENT
HELD TO BE LAWFUL
Moody Says Reduced Rates to
Government by Southern
Pacific All Right

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The at
torney general today sustained the sec
retary OF the interior in his rebate
agreement with railroads. in connection
with the transportation of material for
reclamation purposes.
The law which the attorney general
interprets as governing the case is
contained in section 22 of the interstate
commerce act. Its language is: That
nothing in this act shall apply to the
carriage, storage or handling Of prop
erty free or at reduced rates, for the
United States"
The attorney general reaches this
conclusions:
The intention of section 22 of the
act TO regulate commerce was to give
express sanction to any arrangement
between the United States, state or
municipal governments and railroad
companies, by which those govern
mentS and railroad companies. by
which those governments might relieve
themselves of the cost of transporta-
tion in whatever form 1t might assume
give erect to that Intention"
In another part of his opinion he
says:
That in those cases where the fact
is that the United States receives the
whole of the concession and the con-
tractors none. then neither the spirit
nor the letter of the act TO regulate
commerce has been violated"
In statement given out in connec-
ton with the abstract of the opinion,
the secretary of the interior has this
10 say: ~1u-''-
TT has been noted that in the past
few days articles have appeared in the
public press with reference TO certain
proposed concessions and agreements
on the part of railroad companies to
transport material for use in the build
ing or dams for the reclamation service
under the act of June II, 1902. This
subject had been before the interior
department for consideration and .ac-
uon and the secretary, on March 20,
1905, replying upon the language of
section % of what is known as the in
terstate commerce act, held that he
was authorized to secure agreements
from railroad companies for conces-
slonS in favor of the government for
the carrying of its own property or
material to be used by or on behalf of
the government in the construction of
these reclamation works.
The matter having indirectly come
to the attention of the comptroller of
the treasury that officer. under date of
April 3, stated in an official communi-
cation to the interior department that
While he was not authorized to render
an authoritative decision in the matter
1t was his opinion that the secretary
of the interior was without legal au-
thority TO join in a contract providing
for concessions for the carrying of any
material not absolutely the property of
the government at the time of such
contract or at the time of the transpor-
tation and delivery Of the material
covered thereby.
In view of this opinion, the secre-
tary OF the interior deemed il advis-
able to refer the whole matter to the
attorney general for an expression of
his views"

Gar Is Still Fencing

ST. PETERSBURG, April 25-"My
will regarding the convocation of rep
resentatives of the people is unswerv-
ing and the minister of the interior is
making every effort for its speedy re-
alization.''
Emperor Nicholas, receiving in au-
dience at Tsarskoe Selo the marshal
of the nobility of Kostroma, a govern
ment of middle Russia, directed that
the above message be communicated
to the nobility of Kostroma. The mes
sage evidently was designed to be pub
lished to quiet the fears of those who
are impatient at the delays and who
have grown skeptical of the fulfill
ment Of the promises contained in the
imperial rescript 1t is very significant
that the emperor used the words CON
vocation of representatives of the peo-
ple,'' thus going beyond the expression
employed in the rescript and setting at
rest all doubt as to his meaning.

HOOPER IN ST. PAUL
Popular Western RaiIroader a
Friend of journalism

Maj. s. K. Hooper, general passenger
agent of the Denver & Rio Grande
passed through st. Paul yesterday on n
recreative trip east. Maj. Hooper is
one of the best known and best loved
railroad officers in the whole country.
He is of martial appearance, wearing
a big mustache and imperial and ON
first glance impresses one as being per-
hapS a trifle stern. But when his SYM
pathies are aroused he shows a warm
red blooded disposition that has made
his name a byword wherever kindness,
courtesy and gentle breeding count for
anything.
AS an instance of the bigness of heart
Of Maj. Hooper we'll known newspa-

the following true story:

NEW YORK, April 25.-A har-

DRAW THEIR KNIVES
Chicago Men Roar About Dis
elimination
Special to The Globe

Special TO The Globe
CHICAGO, April 25.-The Chicago
Shippers association, under the lead
ership of III. c. Barlow, is preparing to
make a demand upon the railroads for
the removal of all existing discrimina-
tion in the rates against this city. The
entire situation is being gone over
carefully, with view of ascertaining
in what respect the merchandise rates
work as a discrimination against Chi
cago and then a move is to be made
TO secure their elimination. A careful
examination is being made OF the ad-
justment of rates from all points to
and from Chicago, and when the work
is completed the association will be
able to tell in what directions Chicago
is being injured and just how badly.
At present the examination is with
respect to the adjustment of rates
from St. Louis to the Twin Cities and
the northwest, as against the rates
from Chicago to the same territory. 1t
is understood that there is grave dis
elimination in favor of st. Louis and
that this situation will be the next
task taken up. With respect TO the
southeastern situation, it is stated that
the association will use harsh meas
ures to obtain justice should peaceable
means fail.

COURTED BY PHONE
interruption Incites Young Man
to Suicide

LEXINGTON, KY, April 25.-Inter-
ruption in telephone conversation to-
night is held responsible for a sue
cessful attempt at suicide. Some weeks
ago William Atchison, aged %. met
Miss Minnie Thacker, aged 20. Atchi-
sons attentions to Miss Thacker were
objected to by her parents. The young
man was then forced to do his court
ing over the telephone. Tonight the
young couple were carrying on con-
versatior over the wire when a mis-
understanding arose.
Suddenly the telephones were dis
connected Atchison thought that the
lady answered him by hanging up the
receiver. Going to the saloon of Tom
Cockrill, famous in Breathitt county
feuds, Atchison wrote a farewell note
and then. made Cockrill an offer for
pistol on display. Asking to examine
it, he placed the muzzle al his breast
and fired a bullet through his body
just over the heart. He will not sur
