GREAT NORTHERN

Two Great Western Roads viii
Be Merged Into One /
Vast System.

Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 19.-The Bee says
today:
Within one week the equity which the
Northern Pacific now holds in the Bur-
lington will pass into the hands of the
Great Northern and within fifteen days
the Burlington and Great Northern will
be merged into one vast system, with
James ]. Hill in control.
This statement was made to a report
er for the Bee this morning by a man
close to the official family of the Hill
roads, who has just returned from
Chicago, where the intricate operations
of this gigantic transaction are now
being perfected. He makes the state
ment without reservation
For prudential reasons this man ex-
acted the promise his name would not
be used i'm this connection
One Link to Be Built.
So far as the lines of track of the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
Burlington are concerned. these three
roads lack but one little link now of
being. in fact. one great system. When
the short cut from Billings to Great
Falls. Mont, is completed, the unifica-
ton will be cOnsummated. The western
terminus OF the Burlington is Billings,
where ii meets the Northern Pacific
A line has been i'm course of construc-
ton for some time from Billings to
Great Falls. where the Great Northern
runs on its way to the coast.
The line will soon be finished and
when it is, the three great railroads will
be joined and merged. physically into

TAFT HARKENS
UNTO PROTESTS
Discharge of Negro Soldiers
Suspended Pending InStruC-
lions From President.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Acting under
orders of Secretary Taft. Major Gen
eral Ainsworth, the military secretary,
has directed that further discharges of
the men of the three negro companies
of the Twenty-fifth infantry, on ac
count of the shooting at Brownsville.
Tex, be suspended pending further or
ders. The action, it is said tonight, is
in order to await the return of Secre-
tary Taft to Washington tomorrow,
and is pending further advices from
President Roosevelt, who has been
communicated with on the subject.
The war department has been del
uged with protests against the order di-
recting the discharge of the three COM
panies. 1t is reported tonight that a
further investigation will be made and
that certain officers may be called on
for an explanation in connection with
the movements of these men at the
time the Brownsville incident occurred.
Not Safe in the Army.
1.-The three companies of the Twenty
fifth infantry were ordered discharged
because it is not safe to have them in
the army. They cannot be trusted, and
for the protection of the public and the
DE- eservation of the discipline of the army
rotary Oliver of the war department said
today.
1.-The idea seems to prevail that the
men were ordered discharged because they
refused to tell on their companions and
because they are black Nothing could
be further from the truth. These SOL
dierS shot up town. All of them re-
fuse to tell anything about the dis
graceful affair at Brownsville which re-
suited in murder. The compa MES are
shielding murderers. There are men in
the companies who are criminals of the
worst sort. Every effort possible has been
made by the war department to find the
guilty men. bu- without avail. If these
companies were permitted to remain in
the service and were to shoot up another
town and again endanger the lives of
citizens the war department would be in
an indefensible position 1t is impossible
to courtmartial each of the men in these
companies, for a charge cannot be pre-
ferred against every one of the members
of the companies. The government has
no means of Furnishing the crime COM
mitted except by the discharge of all the
men,"
