BURLINGTON AND
GREAT NORTHERN
Rumor that Two Big Roads Will
Merge-Are Under One Manage
ment But on Distinct Lines.

Burlington Gazette. A rumor IN
railroad circles that will not down is
that the Great Northern and the Bur
lington, two of the greatest railroads
in the country, are to be merged in
one great road. Both of the lines are
now so-called Chill lines" that is.
they are under the management of the
rail king, James j. Hi, or his cohorts.
However, they are operated as dis
tinct lines. The consolidation is not
more than three or four months dis
tant at the most. according to reports
from Chicago and which are seemingly
reliable.
The Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton and the Great Northern all "Hill
lines" have an aggregate mileage in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 miles.
The Great Northern and the North.
ern Pacific were consolidated in the
Northern Securities company only a
few years ago but the merger was
dissolved by the United States courts
on the grounds that the roads were
parallel lines and the interstate com
merce laws forbid merger Of roads
paralleling each other and natural
competitors.
The Burlington and Great Northern
cannot, however, be termed parallel
lines the financiers believe who are
working towards the consolidation, it
is stated.
The Great Northern has an almost
due east-west route from st. Paul to
the Pacific coast while the Burling-
toms line westward is far to the south
cutting through Nebraska. 1t swings
to the northeast as it leaves Denver
Colo, finally terminating at Billings
Mont In no sense of the word can il
be termed parallel competing line
with the Great Northern Is the claim
of the high officials of the road, ac
cording to advices received here.

Another Step in Well Known Menu
Litigation Which Has Been
Hanging Fire For Num-
Der Of Years.
CoNNABLE DEFENDANT
judgement in Favor Of Plaintiff for
Attorney Fees in the Sum Of
s25o-Review Of the
Case.

Felix 7. Hughes yesterday recover
ed Judgment for attorneys fees in the
sum Of $3.50, for services rendered in
the we'll known case of Lee County
VS.. John Menu ct al. The case was
tried in the district court before Judge
Bank, jury having been waived by
both parties to the suit Originally
the petition was fled in the superior
court, but Judge w. l.. Mcnamara did
not feel justified in trying the case,
for various reasons. The case pre-
sents another step in the well known
Menu litigation, which has not yet
been freed from the entanglements of
court.
Attorney Hughes was employed, to-
gether with other defendants, by the
defendent, John Menu, in the case OF
Lee County VS.. John Menu, and James
F. Daugherty Howard Connable and
Edward Walsmith, as sureties on
MEMS bond The original Menu con-
tract included $3.50 retainer fee,
when the case was tried and 10 per
cent of all money saved.
Menu died in the meantime and
Felix 7. Hughes entered into con.
tract with Connable and the other
sureties, and it was upon this suit
that Hughes brought action some time
later While in the superior court
Hughes dismissed the case as against
James F. Daugherty and Edward Wal
smith, leaving Connable as the sole
defendant. It is on the basis of this
contract that the case was just de
cided.
ut this does not end the litigation
as-far as attorneys fees are concerned
for Hughes has suit now pending
for 1924 and some odd cents, which !:
alleged to be a part Of the money
saved
Connable's defense in the recen
case was that the legislation legali2
ing MEMS act in placing the county
money in the Commercial bank, wa
brought about by outside influenc
and further that according to a stric
Interpretation of the contract he wa
entitled to no further relief.

Unofficial news has been received by
Captain Mark, the quartermaster Of
the Marine Corps at Camp Very, that
Major General George F. Elliott, the
commanding officer of that branch of
the service, whose headquarters are To-
Gated at Washington, D. c., will prob
ably be accompanied by Colonel Frank

General Elliott will make the trip a
part of his general inspection of the
corps, while Col. Denny will come here
particularly in view of the new bar
racks and officers quarters to be erect
ed at Pearl Harbor. The preliminary
specifications for the barracks have
already been received here and have
been submitted to several of the local
contractors for inspection. One con-
tractor declares that the work can be
done with the money available, while
two others state that it will cost the

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-06

A license to sell liquor in Water
town, as the new suburb of Honolulu
which has been built by the Hawaiian
Dredging Company for the use Of the
employees who are working on the
Pearl Harbor dredging contract, is to
be asked of the Oanu Board of Liquor
Commissioners at the next meeting
which takes place on September 10.
Henry De Fries is the applicant and 1t
is quite likely that there will be siren
uous opposition to the granting of the
privileges asked from a number of
sources. OF course the Anti-Saloon
League will present a protest based
upon the general principals of its Or
ganiation and specially on the fact
that the present board has practically
announced a policy of not granting
any new licenses.
Major Winslow, the army engineer
officer who has charge of the erection
of the Pearl Harbor fortlfications, is
opposed to the granting of any license
in the locality and it is for this rea-
son that it may be said that 1t is prac-
ticaliy certain that De Fries will lose
out. A majority of the members of
the liquor commission are said to have
made the statement that they will op-
