Big Mortgage Of
 Great Northern
J. J. Hill Announces Execution of $500, 100000 to Secure
 Other Bonds

James J. Hills Great Northern Railway has executed the largest mortgage ever put upon a corpora tion's property in this country It is g. first and refunding mortgage se- curing an issue of $500, 900, 900 of bonds. This great mortgage, it is be- Heved, clears the way for the Great Northern Railway to acquire full con trol of tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad by taking over the Northern Pac1fics half interest. The Burlington, which operates 5000 miles of road, has been owned jointly for ten years.
 Of this seoo,ooo,ooo issue, $780, 100000 will be reserved for refund ing outstanding obligations, leaving $270, 100000 to be sold as need arises. It is understood that $20,O00,OO0 of these will be offered at an early date.
 When the Great Northern and Northern Pacific bought the Burling- ton in 1901 they issued $200 in joint per cent. bonds for each S100 of the Burlington's $107,613,50O stock acquired. These bonds mature in 1921, but they can be retired at any time at 1O5. The stock was put in trust, and the annual dividend of B per cent. paid by the railroad pays for the interest on the bonds, with out leaviny any profit for the holding companies other than that enjoyed in- directly through the privileges of con trol. It is supposed that James J. Hill is now ready to put into execu- tion a plan long cherished by him for turning the Burlington over to the Great Northern alone.

mind and body that much of the pleas ure and profit of their day of rest is lost.
 We would therefore urge our mer- chants to close their places of busi- ness on Saturdays at 500 p. m., at least during the summer months and If possible throughout the year.
 We believe that the spirit Of human brotherhood has advanced to the point where the shopping public will see the justice of this step and cheerfully fall in line with 1t. As the pastors of the city and vicinity we stand ready to cooperate both with the merchants and their employees in any honorable means they may use to bring about this end.
 As a step in this direction we ear- nestly request the shoppers of Bridge port to refrain as far as possible from buying on Saturday afternoon or ev- ening and ask that the ministers urge this upon the people from their war; ious pulpitS.

PASTORS TURN DOWN RETAIL
 CLERKS PLAN

The Pastors Association has declin- ed to assist the Retail Clerks Asso- citation to procure a half holiday for Friday, and states the reasons of the action as foIlows:.
 It is the sincere desire of the Brideeport Pastors Association to serve the best interests of the city and all classes of it's inhabitants We therefore heartily welcomed the recent reouest of the Retail Clerks Associa- tion that we cooperate with them in securing certain reforms. Among these was the substitution of Friday afternoon as a half holiday during the summer months instead of the present custom of closing at 500 P. M. on all days except Saturday.
 After investigation by committee we believe the situation in this city to be as follows:
 The majority of the retail clerks are girls or women.
 Many of the male clerks are married
 Most of the clerks in the largest stores are satisfied with the present arrangement and the girls and mar ried men prefer it to a half holiday
 The four largest stores employ from four to six times as many clerks as the other stores combined.
 The ma ajority of the retail clerks of the city do not ask for this change.
 In view Of these things we do not feel justified in urging upon our mer- chants the Friday half-holiday until we are convinced that the majority of the clerks themselves are in favor of it. We do believe that the clerks of this and other cities are suffering an injustice in being compelled to work until a late hour on Saturday night
 In most occupations Saturday is the easiest day of the week because it's hours of labor are shorter. For the retail clerks it Is the hardest and they come from 1t so exhausted in

Plot To Kill Many Officials
 In Nicaragua
Developments Coming From
 Blowing up of Barracks and
 Destruction of Presidential Palace
Especial from United Press.)

Managua, Nicaragua, June be tails of widespread plot to kill President Adolfo Diaz, General Luiz Mena and other leaders in the Con- servative administration are expect ed to develop as the result of the blowing of the La Lorna Barracks, late yesterday, and the destruction of part of the Presidential palace.
 Diaz and his followers charge the Liberals with instigating the explo- sion, the second outrage of this kind within the last three months.
 The city is under martial law but the orders of the authorities are being ignored.
 Twenty soldiers were killed in the explosion. A brother of General Mena and one of the recent revolutionary leaders, in command of the barracks, is reported killed. The feeling be- tween the two political factions is so bitter that another revolution is be- lieved imminent.
 American residents say the present administration cannot last a month.
 President Diaz says the leaders of the anti-government plot are known and threatens arrests that will prove startling.
 Three months ago the arsenal blew up with the loss of three lives. Re- sponsibility for this was never placed.
