Conflicting Reports are Heard

New York, Sept. 90. Conflicting
reports regarding the possibility of
an early settlement of the teIe-

it was given out thst direct negotia-

Roosevelt seeking his aid to bring

the union had gone to Washington to

II the report was true, Mr.. Russell
said the men who had gone to Wash

EZRA MEEKER ON BROADWAY
Prairie Schooner and Team of
Oxen Attract Attention

New York, Sept. 20.-A team Of
oxen drawing a prairie schooner, the
driver of which was a rugged looking
old man, wearing typical frontier
clothes, created great curiosity here
yesterday. The driver was Ezra
Meeker, Of Puyallup, Wash, a pion-
eer of the Oregon trail, who has been
retracing the trail which he followed
to the west half century ago. All
along Riverside aveune, rom Grants
tomb to Seventy-seoond street., Meeker
was followed by an interested and
curious throng. When Broadway
was reached the crowd was SO dense
that the oxen which the hale old man
afterward described as Dave and Dam
dy, had hard time to make any head
way. Meeker's trip ended at last at
the Battery. He had come all the
way from Puyallup and was 256 days
on the road. Meeker' object in
making the journey is to persuade
the government to build a national
highway from east to west.

MAY LOSE $4O,OOO,OOO

New York, Sept. 20. Reports have
been current on Wall street for some
time that H. H. Rogers of the Stand
ard Oil company had been heavily
interested in the tidewater railroad
project in Virginia and that he lost
heavily by the investment.
The Evening Post says: "Con-
firmation was obtained In Wall street
yesterday of reports to the effect that
II. Fl. Rogers was heavily interestd
in the tidwater railway project. Ac.
cording to the story prevailing, up.
ward of 40 per cent of MIR. Rogers
fortune has been involved in the tide
water investment. 1t was reported
yesterday that the personal obliga-
ton incurred amounted to $40, 0O0,-
900. 1t can be stated positively that
the sum lie much greater than the
amount named, also that the situa-
tion has been entirely cleared up"
In order to meet the demands made
upon him in connection with the
construction of the railroad, Mr.
Rogers was forced to dispose Of
large amount of investment stocks at
sacrifice. All during the recent
decline in prices the vice president of
the Stanadrd Oil company sold stock
in the Consolidated Gas, Union Paci-
&c and st. Paul. Some Eve or six
years ago against the advice of his
friends, MIR. Rogers started to build
in West Virginia a low-grade road
which would parallel the Norfolk &
Western. His object was to carry
coal and lumber to tidewater. The
line was to be 444 miles long, but
only 1875 miles have been completed.
Only few months ago. in order to
raise $40. 900, 900 for the tidewater
road, II. H. Rogers issued his per-
sonal notes secured by 1913, 600, 900
first moItage bonds. $40, 900, 900 In
stock and $40, 200, 600 interest-pay-
ing collateral. These notes we're in.
dorsed by II. II. Rogers personally.
Railway officials who have watched
the construction of the road with in
terest from the beginning say that the
project, even at this time is more or
less probable to fail. It is confident
ly hoped, however, that with the sac
rifices already made in disposing of
his high-priced securities Rogers will
be in a position to gain his end and
see the milage completed.
1t was learned some months ago
that the Standard Oil man and his as.
sociates had bought up all the avail
able lumber and coal lands in West
Virginia. Those purchases amounted
to thousands of acres and will In some
future time supply the tidewater road
with traffic.
