ARE MAGNATEs At PEACE?
Rumor in Wall Street Has Merger
Warfare War Over.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE report
that a settlement in the Northern Sc
curities case has been practically
reached by the Hill and Hartman in
terests, was confirmed today by a high
official of big western railroad, which
has considerable at stake in the matter.
He added:
Undoubtedly events are progress
ing toward final settlement of this
tiresome and expensive litigation that
will be generally satisfactory to every
body. Burlington is to play very
prominent part in the settlement.
1T is probable that the Hartman
interests are to have an important
voice in the control of Burlington.
They do not care anything about the
Northern Pacific beyond the fact that
under the present arrangement 1t con-
trolls jointly with the Great Northern
the Burlington road. The strong finan-
cial interests Of the country are anx-
ious to see peace, and their good Of
fees are being used to that end.
think it safe to say that an early set
element is at hand
There is a story in Wall street that
the relations between ]. p. Morgan
as they were. --.t ...,...,
Financial interests generally demand
the settlement of the fight in order
that the enormous sums held up in
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
dividends may be disbursed. Mr.. Hill
thus finls himself in a state Of practi-
cal financial isolation, and mas been
to yield to suggestions Of a
settlement.

Preliminary.

: Il am confident of being declared
the winner of tonight's fight with Per-
ry Queenan," declared Indian Joe
Gregg, this morning at the Hotel
Louvre, where the Spokane fighter and
his retinue of trainers are stopping.
Il have trained month for this fight
and will be able to go the distance at
any pace. Queenan elects to set. l am

The Indian put on an extra pound
or two on his journey to Walla Walla
yesterday and he found it necessary to
take a five mile run over the sloppy
roads to take off the extra weight
Queenan was down to weight last night
and declared that he was feeling fit
to fight the battle of his life.
Among the contingent of Spokane
sports who accompanied Indian Joe
to Walla Walla was Jerry Mccarthy,
champion weller weight of the north
west. Mccarthy fought Jim Burrows
twenty round draw at Spokane, Fri
day night, but according to the Spo-

training for the go.
Mccarthy picks Indian Joe to win
tonight's fight. Indian Joe has been
training with me for three weeks and
he is in fine condition He has great

Queenan will find a far different man
than he met three years ago. Nc
Carthy said last night.
Mccarthy and Eddie Arnold, Indian
Joes trainer will box four rounds as
preliminary tonight. The go will be
a friendly bout but is expected to be
lively as Mccarthy is a fast worker
and relishes fast mix-up.

MAY GO TO soAap or CONTROL
Mead Would Put Educational tnstitu
tions In Their Hands.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1.-THE control of
the business interests of the state ed
ucational institutions by a board of
business men-the state board of con-
troll. in facts the plan of Gov. Albert
E. Mead for the material welfare of
these institutions. It is not new idea
the governor acknowledges as much.
There was a bill in the last legislature
that would have given into the hands
of the state board Of control authority
to purchase supplies and erect new
buildings at the educational institu-
tons, but the measure failed because
of factional strife. If the bill passes
now it would please the states new
executive.
To Gov. Mead the educational insti-
tuition boards appeal more as place
for men interested in scholastic well
fare of the schools. He is anxious to
fill UP the boards with graduates, or at
least students Of other big schools.
Men who have had a deep interest in
school affairs will be chosen where
practicable. $,
There is a likelihood that Alfred
Battle. who is law partner OF r. A.
Ballinger. will be chosen for the re-
gency position on the state UNIVERSE
ty board, for which his law partner,
Mr.. Ronald. was suggested. Mr.. Bat
tie is a well known university man
and attorney. and the governor has
been strongly urged to select him
The drift Of ,gubernatorial sentiment
is in that direction.
Ralph Nichols Mentioned.
So, too. with Ralph Nichols OF Co.
lumbia, a graduate Of the State Uni
versity. Mr. Nichols would accept
place on the board Of regents, and. not
only because he mas been prominent in
Seattle. but also because he. is grad
uate of the, university. the governor
is inclined to listen to him.
J. J. Donovan, university graduate
and railrbad man Of Bellinghasn, is
likely to have another place on the
board of regentss Thia would be the
position that has heretofore been ac-
corded to Skagit county, the same lire

OF claims. George 8. Lotus. Of thu To-.

OF claims. George 8. LOTUS, of the IIos.
tus- Hubbard Elevator company Of th,a
city. has come out in an intervie~
that has brought railroad ofilcials to
their feet with a jerk.
Mr.. LOTUS declares that all the rem.
resentative roads of the northwest mr.,
involved in system of rebates to IA
vored shippers and that the practice
Is being carried on so fiagrantly that II
is now possible for the Peavey Eleva-
tor company to buy grain from him in
Minneapolis ship the same to the head
OF the lakes and then sell back to him
and make profit on each trade.
Specifically he cites one case where
he says the Great Northern paid big
rebate to the Stone Ordean Wells
company of Duluth under claim No.
1921. Under claim No. 219.O7S he
charges that shipment of thirty-one
cars of grain to the flour trust at SUI
perior was rebated to the extent Of
half the tariff. This, he says, was
done under the guise of credit for
elevator charges. He gives numbers
of cars, dates and quantities of mer-
chandise that he alleges were the SUBJ
ject of drawback and rebates. He
charges that trust goods are stored
and handled free by the Terminal Dis
patch company and that independent
shippers are held up for the published
rate of IS car for the same service
Mr.. LOTUS tells of one case where
the Wisconsin Central contracted for a
shipment of $50 cars of coarse grain
from the Armour elevators in Chicago
to Minneapolis and st. Paul He says
the contract rate was 12k cents a
hundred but that the shipment was re-
bated w cents. The st. Paul road he
also says met the cut of the Wiscon-
sin Central and although the grain
was billed through at the regular rate
the rebate was paid, bringing down
the cost of shipment to cents a hun
dred.
Railroad officials declare, that Mr.
Lotus is trying to follow the example
of Thomas w. Lawson and is perpe-
trating the opening chapter Of "Raving
Railroading.' They say that the mat
tiers charged are all susceptible Of
quite different construction than the
one put on them by Mr.. LOTUS, but
aside from a denial of breaking,
they decline to discuss the charges un-
til they are called upon to do so by the
proper authorities.
Mr. LOTUS, after citing the alleged
preferences shown trust -made goods
by st. Paul railroads, said:
Another feature of the situation
which deserves attention relates to re-
consignments. Trust goods received
in st. Paul are reconsigned to Mime
apolis, cars either full or partially full.
for nothing. The operation is covered
by letter of instruction to the local
freight agent of the line handling the
business permitting him to deadhead
the car or cars in question. Coffee.
sugar, whisky and other trust products
are included under the arrangement.
ST, Paul firms wishin to reconsign to
Minneapolis, or Minneapolis firms re-
consigning to st. Paul pay IS for the
service"

GEERS MAY
QUIT THE TURF
And Buy a Small Farm in Middle
Tennessee.

/ Ed Geeis, the noted owner and
driver of light harness horses, is on a
visit to Nashville. The veteran of
the sulky came up from Memphis Mon
day to spend several days with old
friends. He is at the Tulane.
Nh. Geers' trip to this city is for
pleasure but it Is nevertheless a fact
that business has something to do with
his coming While the reinsman did
not make known his mission. one who
is closely connected with him stated
that he was here for the purpose of
buying, if possible, small farm near
Nashville, on which he will soon re-
side. More than thiIty-tive years in
the trotitng horse business has been
sufficient for the noted driver, and it
is believed that re contemplates retire
ment from the sulky. In case he does
quit Nh. GeeIs will make Middle Ten
nessee his home.
MI GeeIs is close to So years now,
and he is anxious to quit the business
in which he has made an international
reputation. His wife is also anxious
for a change, and as both are from
Tennessee. they are anxious to make
this State their home. For some time
they have resided in Buffalo. but it
is believed that within the next few
months the veteran driver will take up
his residence here.
Mr.. GeeIs' long connection with
the turf has been free from any sus-
picion of wrongdoi1g. His honesty
has never been questioned. Turfmen
throughout this State would certainly
welcome him home. Nashville Amer
