PEACE PROTOCOL,
One Has Been Arranged Between
Hartman and the Government

Chicago. Dec. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington, ID. c.,
says:
Negotiations are under way between
the attorney general and E. H. Harri-
man looking to an agreement by
which the Union Pacific will abandon
all its direct control of the Southern
Pacific in return for which the gov
ernment will agree not to prosecute
E. H. Hartman for violation of the
antitrust law and of the competitive
clauses in the interstate commerce
law.
The negotiations have not actually
been concluded, but they have reach
ed a stage, where ii is believed an
agreement will be entered into. The
Southern Pacific is to be organized as
a separate corporation and the Union
Pacific either will take over the old
Central Pacific line from Ogden to
San Francisco or else will operate over
it as q through line as it is permitted
to do by law.

of the first two United States senators

Mayor Places Ban on Cutters Empty
ing on Sidewalk.

Numbers of complaints have been
received of late by the mayor that
many buildings in the city have their
cutters, conveying water from the roof
arranged so that the water is poured
on the sidewalks. AS will be seen
easily, this sort of thing is a menace
to life in the winter time and nufs-
ance in the summer time and as such
the mayor and city engineer will take
steps to abate it.
There is no excuse for property
owners to abuse the rights of the citi-
zens of the city or of the public in
general said the mayor. In the win
ter time, especially, water flowing over
the sidewalks freezes and jeopardfzes
life itself. Persons passing on such
walks, particularly when the Ice Is
covered by a light fall of snow, are Ii
able to break a limb. an arm or pos
sibly their necks.
s'The city would be liable for dam
ages probably in such cases, and wheth-
er it would be or not, it is certainly
the duty of the city to protect life and
property and abate nuisances as well
as to correct criminal careleSsness.
Therefore the city engineer will see to
it that no cutters empty their contents
on the public sidewalks of the city in
the future.
s.There is plenty Of law for this
move" added the mayor.

CAITLEN1EN FALL OUT.
One Has Other Arrested But Has to
Pay the Costs.

A serious charge was turned into
comic opera in city court this morning,
and the prosecuting witness was left
holding the sack.
E. Hammel, a Topeka butcher. re-
Gently caused the arrest Of Johnnie
Hensler, Topeka cattle dealer. Ham
mel charged Hensler with stealing one
of his steers from a pasture south of
the city. The trial lasted only a few
minutes, and it. appeard that some of
Hammers friends had been s'stuffing''
him as a practical joke. The evidence
showed that both Hamme1 and Hensler
had cattle in the same pasture, and
Hensler removed his first. He had a
witness to prove that he put 20 steers in
the pasture and took 20 out at the end
of the season. 'Hammel, however, was
a steer short and some one suggested
that 1t had been stolen by Hensler. Tho
costs of the case were taxed to Mr..
HammeI

WHY FISH WAS PUT OUT
Reasons Set Forth in Affidavit by the
Hartman Party.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Arguments for and
against the Injunction obtained by
stuyyesant w @ Fish, restraining the voting
of 281, ,231 shares of Illinois Central
stock at the annual meeting of that
road began today in the superior court
before Judge Ball.
The proceedings We're commenced by
the presentation by the attorneys of
E. Fl. Hartman, of a long affidavit
signed by Mr.. Hartman, Robert W.
Goelet. and Charles A. Peabody. In
the affidavit 1t was set forth that Mr..
Fish was not reelected president of
the company because of alleged mis-
conduct in Office and alleged miSappli-
cation of the funds of the company.
1t was also declared in the affidavit
that under the laws of Illinois the
Union Pacific Railway company has the
right to vote all stock owned by it.,
at the annual meeting of December IS.
Mr.. Hartman and the other makers of
the affidavit deny that they caused the
defeat of Mr.. Fish as president of the
railroad because he refused to yield the
control of the Illinois Central to the
Union Pacific. It is also denied that
j. T. Harahan, now president of the
company is under the domination Of
Mr.. Hartman. The statement which
has been made that Mr.. Hartman and
the Union Pacific Railway company
ever sought to control the Illinois Cen
trail is also denied.
1t is charged in the affidavit that Mr..
Fish has made common cause with the
Missouri Pacific, one of the strongest
competitors of the Illinois Central. 1t
is declared also that he seeks to con-
troll the Illinois Central for his own
personal profit.
The affidavit gives the following rea-
sons why it's makers refuse to vote
the election of Mr.. Fish.
Because in the Judgment of the di-
rectors Mr.. Fish has in the past mis-
used and misapplied the funds of the
Illinois Central. -
He has used his power as president
to control the funds of the railroad
company to the injury of the railway.
Because he attempted to manage
the railroad company in disregard of
the authority of the board of dfrec-
tors"
1t was further stated in the affidavit
that the sole reason for electing Mr..
Harahan president of the Illinois Cen
trail was because of his efficient man
agement Denial is made by the Union
Pacific Railway company that it owns
stock in other transporting companies
for the purpose of controlling them.
The atlantis declared that Mr.. Fish in
for proxies has falsely
claimed that he was denied reelection
because he insisted upon the independ-
ence of the Illinois Central; and it is
further claimed that while Mr.. Fish is
seeking to prevent the voting of stock
held by the Union Pacific Railway COM
pany and the Railway Securities COM
pany he has often voted that stock
himself.

SHOWS IN KANSAS.
Western Portion of State Has Snow
Rain Here.

A light drizzling rain has been fall
ing at intervals in Topeka all day
with indications favorable for fall of
snow this evening and tonight and the
temperature Is just fraction warmer
than 1t was yesterday at the same
hour. Reports received at the Rock
Island offices in this city indicate that
heavy snow prevails over the west
ern part of the state though the tenn
perature is such that there will be
but little suffering among stock.
At Garden City, on the Santa Fe,
SO miles this side of the Colorado
line snow began falling at o'clock
this morning and continued at the
rate of an inch an hour until nearly
noon. The entire state seems to be in
the storm belt and where snow is
not falling the precipitation is in the
form of rain which in all proba bilities
will change to snow during the next
few hours as the storm is working
eastward.
There is a general disturbance over
the west and northwestern part of the
strata of atmosphere and this is
blamed for the weather conditions
which reached this part Of the coun-
try today. Snow fell yesterday and
last night in New Mexico and in the
western portion of Colorado and the
precipitation in Topeka has amounted
to .02 of an inch though but only a
few fakes of snow have fallen.
On the north shore of Lake Superior
the mercury dropped to 20 degrees be-
low zero but this temperature will pro-
baby not effect this part of the coun-
try.
The forecast for tomorrow indicates
fair and cooler weather for Friday.

Why the Nomination of w. c. Bristol
Was Withdrawn.

Washington, Dec. 12.-It is learned
at the department. of justice that one
of the principal reasons for the
withdrawal of the nomination of Will
liam c.. Bristol, to be United States
attorney for Oregon was the fact that
although the grand jury during the
last year had brought in over rs in
dictments against parties for land
frauds Mr.. Bristol had not entered
upon the prosecution of any of them,
and notwithstanding the urgent re-
quests of the department to begin pro-
ceedings at once, Mr.. Bristol had
shown indisposition to comply with
the request. His successor has not
yet been decided upon.
