NORRIS AND SENATORSHIP
Congressman from Fifth District
Ready to enter Race.
DECISION NOT YET DEFINITE
Increased Appropriation for Dry
FarmIng Urged, But House Does
Not ARree---Rzrul Routes
Held Up.
(From staff correspondent.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-(Special Tele-
gram )-George w. Norris is seriously con-
sidering the advisabillty of becoming a
candidate for the United States senate.
Judge Norris today outlined the reasons
which seem to impel him to THIS con-
clusion, although he has not definitely de-
clded to make the step. Until a fort
night ago, Judge Norris says he gave no
thought to the senatorial situation as It
might concern him personally. He has
been receiving letters all winter from
constituents urging him to make the race,
but he turned a deaf ear to them, and
put the senatorship behind him. at least
for the immediate present
Lately, however, he says, political con-
ditlons In Nebraska have undergone a
change He has noticed that resolutions
adopted at the formation of some of the
Burkett clubs, simultaneously with the
meeting of the radical insurgents in Lin
coin, criticised the action Of the insurgents
and urged them to put a stop to the
agitation In the interest of the party.
These resolutions arounsed the congress-
mans fighting blood and today he said:
III my insurgency is to be the test of
my republlcanism then think the sooner
we know where we stand, the better%
THE more 1 study. the situation, the
more l am convinced that the lnsurgent
cause is just, and I am willing to try
conclusions along those lines. l do not
deny any man the right of an honest diff
ference with me, but | denoy that any
man has right to question my republic
anism, even though ii may be along diff
ferent lines from that Of some people
in the fifth district
Il do not say that / will get into the
senatorial race" said Judge Norris, but
am more seriously considering It than
ever before. Whether this is the physcho-
logical moment or not, / don't know
This do know, however that the time
seems propitious for trying out some
things that concern up republicans and
should ii be decided that the primary bal
lot law recently passed permits an ex-
preston on the part of the voters for
United States senator, may get into the
fight.
Il 40 not desire It 20 be understood
that am deciding the question either
way at the present time. l do not con-
slider 1t necessary to decide the matter

Dry Farming Discussion.
Judge Norris supported a motion made
today in the House while the agricultural
bill was under consideration Increasing
the appropriation for dry farming from
sec O0e to $4,000. He called attention 10

IMMENSE DIVIDEND
DECLARED ON C,E,&|,
PREFERRED STOCK

Denver, Aug. 1S-A dividend
equal TO Sl,200,000 will be due on
the S2,000,000 preferred capital stock
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany on January l, 1911. The earn
ings of the company for the last year
show that a dividend on this stock
may be expected at an early date.
The identity of the owners of this
stock has never been made public,
and the golden nest egg has been
clothed in considerable mystery.
There is only S2,000,000 worth of
the preferred stock of the company
outstanding. 1t is entitled to draw
didivends of s per cent each year.
and these dividends are cumulative.
Four per cent was paid on the stock
in 1903, and then payments were
suspended. There is due at present
on this stock 90 per cent, and on
January l, 1911, it will be 60 per
cent, or S1,2OO,0O0.
John d, Rockefeller, head of the
Standard Oil trust, or John C. Os-
good, who established the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company. are general
ly credited with owning this stock.
No one outside of the parties directly
interested really know where the
valuable securities are held. The by-
laws Of the company provide that no
dividends can be paid on any of the
capital stock outstanding until this
dividend on the preferred stock is
paid Ii therefore, comes before all
other obligations of that nature of
the company and occupies a most
peculiar position.
The preliminary annual report of
tho fp . l.,
was made public in New York yester-
day. The report will show that the
company had net earnings of 81. 300
000, or an increase equal to 74.7 per
cent over last year, for the year end
ing June so, 1910. The net surplus
last year was SS5S, 1875, which in its
turn was an increase of 1917 per
cent over the preceding year.
The company has been showing a
deficit for the past seven years. Last
year John ID. Rockefeller, who had
been behind the company for some
time. took over the management of
the property. l.. NJ Bowers, Mr.
Rockefeller's personal representative,
who had been with the company for
about four years, was made chairman
of the board and put in absolute con-
troll. John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., sue
ceeded +. II. Hartman to the board
at the same time.
Last year a reappraisal of the
property was made, which gave the
company book surplus of sl9,3OS,-
327, so the surplus this year on the
new appraisal basis will be about
$40. 100000. II is the first time in
seven years that the earnings of the
company have shown up on the right
side of the ledger.
