The Supreme Court yesterday, in the

A. P. Carter would have gone to
Charles L. Carter, had he lived, shall
be conveyed by the trustee to Mrs.
Mary H. S. Davis, Charles L. Carriers
widow, to whom he devised it, or to
his two children. The court, in an

learning, comes to the conclusion that
the estate in question is a contingent
and not a vested estate, and the

FIGHT NOT YET

ILLINOIS CENTRAL ADJOURN
TILL TUESDAY NENT.

Chicago. Oct. 19.--The meeting
of the Illinois Central Railroad
stockholders was today adjourned
until IL o'clock Tuesday morning.
The proxy committee was still un-
able to report. but II is believed that
1t may be able to submit its findings
to the Stockholders meeting when Il
next convenes. The committee has
been at work almost all night and
day, but the volume of proxies is so
large that the task is huge one.
and with the scrutiny which Is given
to each, in behalf OF both Mr.. Fish
and Mr.. Hartman, progress IL slow.
Mr.. Cromwell, attorney for Mr..
Hartman, who has so far done the
greater part OF the talking, and who
puts motions and announces votes
without referring them to President
Iiarahan. the presiding officer. de-
clared today:

able TO make n report II Is believed
that something can be done by next

proxies with much energy. and It
was reported today, although the
story could not be confirmed, that
MIR. Hartman had recently pur-
chased in Chicago one block of 700
shares, paying for them $50 above
the market price.
The stockholders, wearied by the
delay, have for the most part. gone
to their homes. The meeting today
was poorly attended and It is said
that even fewer persons will be pres

MANY FRANCHISES
ARE CAPITALIZED

New York. Oct. 21.-With the
pubic service commission as a party
defendant with the state, county and
city of New York. represented by
the attorney general, the corporation
counsel and the district attorney. re-
spectively. argument Is being heard
In the United States court today on
the exceptions to the M,sten SO-cent
gas bill report. Edward b. Whitney
is acting as special counsel for the
public utilities commission and ap-
peared before Judge Lacombe to
argue against the report. On the
issue OF this case depends millions
OF dollars which the gas trust is
now collecting from the people OF
Greater New York by means OF al
legged eXorbitant prices.
The point which the public utiIi-
Ties commission particularly wants
determined, and which will I'M
doubtedly be carried to the United
States supreme court. is whether the
master, Arthur Masten. was correct
In regarding the franchises of the
gas trust" as capital on which the
company was entitled to earn profit
Mr.. Masten appraised the gas fran
chises as worth $2O,0OO.OO0. reach
Ing this figure by calculating the
profits which the company earned l..
and arguing that IL company earn
ed such profits it's franchises must
be worth $20.0O0.0OO At the same
time he asserted that the company
was privileged to earn a just revenue
OF this capitalization, which. I'm
his belief. 1t could not do under the
SO-cent gas law. BY this curious
species of reasoning, the charging OF
high prices for gas must be main
famed because the franchises OF the
trust" have become extremely val
liable through the process OF charg-
ing high prices.
It is the belief OF the members Of
the public service commission that
the question of the capitalization of
franchises will figure largely in the
traction and electric light investiga-
tons. and that, therefore. the final
determination Is OF the utmost i'm
portance. Should Judge Lacombe
uphold the master the board will ap-
peal the case. no matter what the
other defendants may do

CANAL WON'T Be
WIDE ENOUGH
IN SIZE OF SHIPS
SINCE WORK STARTED is
THE CAUSE.

Washington, October 21.-Lieu-
tenant III. III. Rousseau, civil engineer
in the United States Navy and a
member of me Isthmian Canal Com
mission. has arrived here from the
isthmus and laid before Secretary
Metcalf proposition to increase the
projected width OF the Panama canal.
which is now planned at one hum
dred feet in the locks.
The recommendation Is based
upon the rapid increase OF beam in
naval construction since the canal
plans were formed.
Secretary Metcalf will take nm the
matter with the president as soon
as possible. Lieutenant Rosseau de-
parted for New York soon after his
Interview with the secretary.
BASIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE.
Undoubtedly naval exigencies. sup-
piemented by the building OF the
giant Cunards Lusitania and Mauri-
tania. was the basis for this project
ed change OF plan which will involve
the expenditure OF many additional
millions of dollars and perhaps the
extension of the time required for
the completion OF the canal proiect
III Is also probable that the mere sug-
gestion of such a considerable change
or plans as that proposed by Lieu
tenant Rosseau would precipitate n
general debate in congress and re-
open the whole issue OF sea level.
versus lock canal which was he
lleVed to have been finally settled by
president Roosevelt and Secretary
Tart when they gave the order for
the beginning of work on the lock
canal plan. The fact Is that when
congress was so warmly discussing
the two projects about two Years
ago, the sea-level canal advocates
made the point that theirs was the
only plan that would have sufficient
elasticity to meet the needs OF rand
ly increasing tonnage I'm marine con-
struction. Their plan involved the
use OF but one lock. merely to Offset
the tidal difference between the east
ern and western seas, a comparative
ly low and Insignificant lock. which
could be easily widened when re-
CURED. But they made a strong point
OF the difficulty. expense and loss OF
time in the use OF the canal that
would follow the attempt to widen
the complicated and massive locks
required for the high1evel canal
THE COMMISSIONS IDEA.
Possibly foreseeing the force of
that argument the canal commission
apparently feels that 1T would be
wise to make the locks OF the canal
wide enough I'm the beginning to ac-
commodate the giant ships, not only
or the navy. but OF the merchant
marine. that are sure to be con-
structed In the near future.
Details of the new plans cannot
be obtained at present. but the
change is said to be costly. though
of its necessity few naval officers
have any doubt.
