Attorney General Wickersham has
taken no definite position in the mat
ter. He went into the conference to-
day, open minded, for up to this time
he has not been called upon to deal

probably it will be within a few days.
Roads Embraced In Merger.
The suit against the Hartman lines,
which consists in chief of the Union
Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Ore
gon Short line and the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation company, was
begun following an inquiry before the
interstate commerce commission. It
was during these hearings that the
enormous stockholdings of the Harri-
man lines in other railroads first came
to general public attention.
Mr.. Hartman himself appeared be-
fore the commission and was on the
witness stand several days. He de-
clined to answer number of ques-
tons put to him and the matter was
taken to the United States circuit
court for determination.

Hartman built up, was general coun-

CATTLE KINGS
DISCUSS TARIFF

DENVER. Colo. Jan 11.-Stockmen
and cattle kings" from all over the
west viii engage in discussion of
the tariff and other important ques-
tons during the thirteenth annual
convention OF the American National
Live Stock association, opened today.
The cattlemen will lodge a protest
against the action of congress in put
ting hides on the free list. On the
tariff question, the officers of the as
ISOLATION have given out the following
statement.
The result of this last tariff re-
vision and the complete domination of
the east in the fixing of the various
schedules, shows the vital Importance
of better organization among the live
stack men, not only of the west, but
of the entire country. The duties on
live stock, meats and other agricul-
tural products have in the past been
almost purely nominal, as this country

Cohen told the police he first met
Miss de Janon at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford last October when she came there
to live with her mother. After her
mother died, he said, Miss de Janon
came to see him frequently, asking for
advice She seemed to be melan-
choly and told him she did not want
to go away to school. On December
10. Cohen stated Miss de JanOn asked
him to go with her. After his letter
to her of December IA, she met him
again and arranged to met him again
December 81 On this occasion she
wept and he consented.
On December 29 she bought cheap
brown dress which hung just below
her knees and some other clothing.
She let down her hair in two braids
to make herself look younger and
they boarded a train for New York.
Everywhere they went, he says, they
read of their escapade in the newspa-

were irresistible, and I swear I have

Miss De Janon Sole Heiress.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.-Roberta
de Janon, sole heiress of her grand
father, Robert BUST, a millionaire seed
dealer of this city, disappeared from
the Bellevue Stratford hotel, Decem-
Der 90. a few days before her 18th
birthday.
Her father, Ferdinand de Janon, a
New York stock broker, received sew
eral letters from her on that day in
which she announced she was going
to commit suicide by drowning be-
cause she could not bear to live after
the death of her mother.
The wife of Frederick Cohen, wait
er, 43 years old, who has served Miss
de lannon's meals at the hotel, reported
that her husband was missing and
produced letter of an affectionate
nature that she alleged Miss de Janon
sent him. The suicide theory was
then abandoned and search was insti-
tuted for the missing couple.

is a large exporter of such products.
1t may transpire in the not distant
future that, by reason of our rapidly
increasing population, the United
States will be able to consume sub
stantially all the agricultural and
meat products it produces, and, when
that time comes, undoubtedly a de-
mand will arise from the east to re-
move all the present nominal duties
on agricultural and live stock pro-
ducts. and we must be bettert organ
lied to protect our interests. Our
live stock industry stands for fair
and impartial distribution of the bur-
dens or favors of the tariff, and objects
to the manufacturing east debating
and obtaining all they desire in the
way of duties, at the expense of the
producers 1t is not unlikely that the
tariff may be an important issue in
the next congress. At all events, this
subject will come up for full considera-
ton at our annual meeting"

iatons have been begun looking 70 a
settlement "out of court of the gov
ernment's suit for the dissolution of
the merger of the SO-called Hartman
lines, brought under the provisions of
the Sherman antitrust law. Rumors
of such negotiations have been cur
rent for some time and they took con-
crete form today at conference at
the White House, granted by Presi-
dent Taft at the solicitation of the
railroad officials.
It can be stated authoritively that
no decision of any sort was reached.
1t was said that today's conference
was the first of a series of meetings to
be held for the purpose of determining
upon what ground, if any, represent
atives of the Hartman lines and the
government can meet for an adjust
ment of the situation
Taft Keeps Own Counsel.
President Taft has given no intima-
ton as to his attitude and his final
decision, it is stated, will depend large
ly upon the proposition the railroads
have to make looking toward a COM
pliance with the antitrust law.
The case will not be Aopped, it is
said. except upon such terms as will
look to correction of the evils COM
planned of in the government suit, or
Unless the government can be shown
to be completely in error.
Today's conference was attended by

Living as father and daughter, Ro-
berta Buist de Janon, the 17-year
heiress. and Ferdinand Cohen, wait
er at the Bellevue Stratford hotel,
Philadelphia, aged 43 years, who elOp-
ed December 10 from Philadelphia and
for whom a world wide search was in
stituted, were found in rooming
house last night and arrested.
When the detectives entered the
house, Miss de Janon was playing
with her pet dog which she took with
her in her sensational disappearance
with Cohen, who is married man.
Cohen was seated in an adjoining
room reading.
Cohen at first protested against ar
rest. He soon admitted his identity,
however, and Miss de Janon. sobbing
bitterly. pleaded with the authorities
to restore her to her parents.
Cohen revealed to the officers the
story of his flight with the girl,
flight extending for thousands of
miles through the United States and
Canada and in which a trip to Eng
land was interrupted at Halifax be-
cause the boat authorities would not
permit the presence of Miss de Janon's
pet dog on the vessel. At least that
was Cohen's explanation of the aban
donment of the sea voyage which be-
gan at ST Johns, n. B., but the po-
lice believe they planned to leave Hal
flax in order to elude detectives
Arrive Last Thursday.
Cohen and Miss de Janon arrived
here Thursday and rented a room in
boarding house owned by Mrs.
Frank Perrin. Cohen introduced the
girl as his daughter Alice He iden-
titled himself as Robert King. saying
lie was a barber just arrived from
Montreal in search of work
When questioned by the officers, af-
ter she had admitted her identity, the
girl said that she and Cohen had
reached Chicago with but $1.60 be-
tween them. and that she gave Cohen
bracelet and necklace which he
pawned in order to get money for
them to live on. Their apprehension
followed report made to the police
by Mrs. Perrin, who had seen pictures
of the clipping pair in the newspapers
and suspected that her new boarders
were the missing Philadelphia elop-
erS.
Cohen was locked up last night. He
said he would waive extradition pro-
ceedings and the Philadelphia police
wore notified to come to Chicago for
the prisoners. Miss de Janon and her
dog were taken to the wonan's de-
partment of a different police station.
Cir, Not Harmed.
Cohen denied that any harm had
come to Miss de Janon since she fed
with him from her home. The clippers
went to New York City December 90,
remaining in New York only few
hours. They boarded train for Mon
treal In Montreal they took a train
for st. Johns, n. B.. where they
boarded steamer. for England At
Halifax they abandoned the sea voy-
age and returned to Boston by rail.
From Boston they came to Chicago,
