GIANTR AILROADIDEA
ALLEGED PLAN AF0OT TO join
-FOUR GREAT SYSTEMS.
ST. Paul Papers Predict Greatest Rail-
road Deal Ever Known-N. p. and
c. M. G. ST. p, and G. N. and Bur-
ington Into Two Great Transcon-
tinentaI Lines-Keep Hartman Out.

Last Sundays st. Paul papers dis
close that the most gigantic transcon-
tinental railroad deal ever known is
being formulated. 1t means the con-
solidation of the Northern Pacific and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Great Northern and Burling-
ton into two great transcontinental
lines. 1t also means the shutting out
of the Hartman interests on the Pa
cific coast. 1t also means desperate
fight between the four lines mention
ed and the Hartman lines. AS dis
closed today by an authority of un-
questioned integrity, the situation is
as follows:
The undertaking involves two sep
arate transactions. They have been
in the minds of the promoters for sew
eral years. The proposal means two
of the greatest railroad systems in the
world.
The Great Northern is one. Its
s12O, 100000 iron ore lease and the
sale of rights to it's own and Burling
\ ton stockholders, amounting to $50,
100000 more, will cement these two
roads into one vast double track sys
tenn to the coast
The Northern Pacific is the other
It's stockholders may easily devote
| $100,000,00 toward the purchase o
stock in the Chicago, Milwaukee {
st. Paul, extending to the Pacific coas
and practically paralleling the North
ern Pacific. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul will find it more conven
lent at points along the route to us
the Northern Pacific tracks. Indeed
conferences have already been he'll
between the officials to this end.
A railroad attorney. whose bushes
brings him in touch with the financia
end of all these roads, declares tina
affairs are so shaping that one ca
reach no other conclusion, and he pre-
diets that within two years at leas
and possibly sooner the four road
mentioned will have become tive grea
transcontinental lines by a process
worked out by James ]. Hill.

MAY FOUND GUILTY
DAVENPORT BANKER LOST HIS
CASE WITH GOVERNMENT.
After "a Hours of DeIiberation the
Jury in Federal Court Returned
Verdict Against Accused-Penalty
Is Five to Ten Years in Penitentiary
Asked for New Trial.

Spokane, Feb. 12.-Charles G. May,
president of the defunct Big Bend
bank of Davenport, who has been on
trial for wrecking that institution, was
found guilty by jury in the federal
court. The verdict was arrived at af-
ter "a hours elaboration and was
handed to the court at noon. Convic-
ton was made on the fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh counts of the indict-
ment returned by the January federal
grand jury.
The minimum penalty is five years
in the penitentiary, the maximum be-
ing 10 years.
Mays attorneys will argue for a new
trial and, failing in this, they announce
that an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court.
At noon the jury announced it had
reached a verdict. The attorneys and
the court attendants, who had waited
for hours, quickly gathered. May sal
behind his attorneys, Charles S. and
Reese Voorhees,. He appeared as stole
al as during the long days of the trial
He scanned the faces of the jurymen
but they were as unresponsive as sc
many sphinxes.
An expectant hush fell upon the
courtroom as the verdict was handed
to Judge Whitson. He read it quickl.
and handed it to Clerk Nash, whC
voiced the fateful words.
Immediately after the reading of th'
verdict Judge Whitson remanded thu
defendant to the custody of the United
States marshal. AS May left the court
room the weight of many years seem
ed to have suddenly fallen upon him
Judge Whitson has a new bond
pending an appeal, approved.
The verdict of guilty was grea
surprise to nearly every one. A dis
agreement was what the majority o
those who followed the trial looke
for, and verdict of acquittal was tn
hope of many.

He is to-day heading a middle class
reform movement which is bound to
sweep the country in short time.
WATsoN's MAGAZINE is not a Social

public or government ownership Of rail

and he believes in private ownership of
all industries not natural mOnopolies.
The middle class-tae home owners,
farmers, small business men, and proper

1900; won Jackson's victory over Nick
Bidder money power in 1882; won
Lincolns victory in 1860 But each

EVANS WINS

Our Evans leaders are lubilant
over the crushing defeat, which
their leader gave the erehuhlle
seasy boss" while the Brownlow
followers are correspondingly de-
pressed. 1t is conceded that it
means the permanent retirement
of Brownlow'S power as leader.
From a Democratic stanpoln t,
things are just as we would have
them. We believe Tennessee is
safely Democratic and in a con-
test between two such able and
popular candidates as Patterson
and Evans, the Democrat will
win because there are more Dem
ocrats than Republicans, and we
are clad to have Evans as our
opposing general rather than a
weaker or less honorable man,
for we know that with him the
campaign will be placed on a
high plane, and the discussion OF
economic and civic problems will
be of vast benefit TO our common
country. 1t is good for state
to have her ablest men petted
against each other, as IN this
race. The Democrats, proud OF
their own leader and loyal to him
and the ideas for which he
stands, yet heartily endorse the
enemies splendid nominee and
commend their wisdom and
patriotism in putting him fow-
ard. AS one of our leaders
sorrowfully remarked, Truly
1906 is hard year on machines.
It is we'll.
