British Syndicate
Gets Control of
the Rock Island
Cassell Interests Buy Stocks Held by
Pearson Party to Protect
the Market.

NEW YORK, July 2S-While Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. made no official announcement to-
day regarding the development whereby
the holding of syndicate in Rock Island,
I,ehigh Valley and Missouri Pacific stocks
were taken over to prevent further serious
liquidation, the company in connection with
English interests headed by Sir Ernest
Cassell has obtained the largest single
holding of Rock Island, both common and
preferred.
The syndicate Is said to have been made
up Of Canadian and English operators
headed by DIR. E. S. Pearson and had for
it's aim new transcontinental group. The
decline in the market upset the plan and
nocessitated n turning over OF the stocks
purchased.
Whether the transcontinental plan will
be carried out by the new Rock Island
controllers whether the new interests
will assert their power in altering present
management still depends on unsettled fac
tors. Certain banking interests here have
looked on the original Pearson plan with
favor. and it is not unlikely that steps will
be taken to carry 1t out in the near future.

Will Not 0verturn Action.
upHoLDs ATTORNEY GENERAL
Twice Interpreted Law for Secretary
of state One Fee for TwO-Party
Filings Necessnry--COurt
Orders NO Change.
CFrom a sad correspondentl

LINCOLN, July 2S.-(special.) )-Because
the attorney general had ruled that the
payment of only one filing fee is neces-
sary for a candidate for office to have his
name placed on one or more primary bal
lots, Judge Lincoln Frost of the district
court today sustained the demurrer of the
attorney general in the primary ballot suit
instituted by Victor Rosewater, republican
national committeeman. Mr. Rosewater
sought an injunction to prevent Secretary
of State Junlxin from certifying to the va
rious county clerks the names of those
candidates who had filed on more than
one ballot and paid 5only one filing fee,
Assistant Attorney easllerai ASres and John.
j. Sullivan and II. y, Doyle, democratic
attorneys, who appeared for Mr. Junkin'
filed a demurrer to the petition filed by
John o. Yeiser for Mr.. Rosewater.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge Frost
discussed the points raised. In the case
briefly, holding that a court in equity
would take jurisdiction in matters involving
political rights, but that the courts would
not go SO far as to interfere with rules Of
nolitical parties such as were formerly in
vogue. But in cases where the matter is
controlled by statute, as in this case, the
court rules do not apply. he said. The
secretary of state has certain specific duties
to nerforn and II he does not perform
them, then there should be some way to
make him.
Attorney Generals Decision.
Continuing, Judge Frost said he Woulu
not rest a decision on the demurrer, but
without going into the case any farther
| than his remarks of yesterday he would
sustain the demurrer. He did this. he said,
because the attorney general had given two
decisions to the effect that only one fee
/ was required Of candidates who desired to
file on more than one ticket, and that the
secretary of state had been acting In ac'
cordance with those decisions. Therefore
he would not overrule them. In reading
the statute, however, the judge said II
could be interpreted two ways and there
was a question whether the opinion OF the
attorney general was correct, but he pre-
ferred not to overrule him unless he wa'
absolutely sure that he was wrong.

The Sells-Floto circus has benched it's
hoodoo and can fear no more such unlueky
visits as It had in Omaha. The circus came
during the Curtiss- -Mars-Ely three-ring
aviation that took place in the northwest
atmosphere OF the city and for that reason
had strong competition. At the evening
performance a storm came up and dis
missal OF the audience and a prompt pull
down was all that saved the show from
disaster. Why It all happened was ex-
plained Thursday when a meek looking lit
