SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 26.-It took
eleven innings today for Oakland to
capture from Vernon the desirable

winning column of the southern team.
The score stood Vernon 8. Oakland 1,
and up to that time Willett had al
lowed just three hits. In the last
of the ninth he eased up and before
he found his bearings again Oakland
had collected three hits and two runs,
tying the score. Willett was a little
shaky in the tenth, but avoided COM
plete rout until the eleventh. when
Oakland gathered two more hits and
the winning lun.
Harkins vas batted heavily until the
critical moments when Vernon could
not find him for drives that would
count in the run column. Score:

gan and associates may control, through
further trust company mergers in New
York, the enormous sum of $2l0, 100000
ih deposits alone.
This is approximately $25,000,000
more than the deposits of the National
City bank of this city, the largest fnan.
eial institution in the United States.
Reports of additional trust company
consolidation are given credence in
view of yesterdays announcement of
the merger by ], P. Morgan & Co., of
the Guaranty Trust, Morton Trust and
Fifth-Avenue Trust companies, with
combined deposits of about $3.50, 900, 900.
This brought a revival in the fnan-
eial district of rumors embracing the
Bankers Trust and the Manhattan
Trust companies in the same eombina.
tion. There were definite reports that
the Mercantile Trust company and the
Equitable Trust company eventually
would be taken into some sort of a
powerful alliance.
In point of fact, the Bankers Trust
company is closely affiliated with the
sO-called Morgan interests in that two
partners in the Morgan banking house
George w. Perkins and Henry p.
Davison-sit in the directorate of the
former.
Other directors of the Bankers Trust
company, including A. B. Hepburn and
A. H. Wiggin, president and vice.presi.
dent respectively of the Chase National
bank, and William H. Porter, president
of the Chemical National bank, are
active in affairs of the Guaranty Trust
company, which is to be made the
titular head Of the Guaranty Morton
Fifth-Avenue consolidation.
Relations between the Morgan inter
ests and the Manhattan Trust company
always have been intimate, though the
latter is not regarded as Morgan ap-
pendage. It is perhaps significant that
the building once occupied by the Man
haitian Trust company is to be razed
soon to make way for a 30-story build
ing to be erected by the Bankers Trust
company.
Deposits Of the Bankers Trust aggre-

that the two companies, If combined

Year Of 1909 Was Record. Breaker
More Expected IN 1910.

Chicago, Jan S,--rho eolonlling
work done by the railroads In the
west and Pacific northwest during the
spring and fall Of 1909 broke all REQ
Ords in railway history. Figures pre-
pared by the management Of the Hat'
riman lines show that the number OF
eoloulsts who were taken into the Pa
eide coast territory Far exceeded the
number In any other ycar
The increase over the coloniat move
ment OF 1905 was fully 10 per cent,
and may have been In excess Of this.
Figures for the movement over the
HIN limos are not available, the man
agement refusing to give any detailed
information regarding the number Of
new home makers they transported
into the northwest during the last year
II Is understood, however, that the
nm lines did not make as determined
an effort TO secure eolonists as they
have made In former years. This fac,
is said to be due to trouble In the
eolonist department OF tho Northern
Pacific which led late la the year to
the resignation Of q. W. Mott, general
immigration agent. On the Great
Northern road, the illness Of Max Bass,
general immigration agent, which re'
suited in his death, somewhat retarded
the work OF taking homoseekors to the
northwest.
IL Is understood that In 1910 the
management OF both tho Great North
ern and tho Northern Pacific, aided by
tho management Of the Burlington, aFs
TO make a special effort toward popn
latinR the vacant lands along theiI
lines In the fertile states OF tho north
west.
In each year the railroads have two
short periods which they call eolonisl
periods. The spring eolonist period Il
from March TO April 30, while the
fall period Is from September Is tc
October Is, In the fall period OF 1909
