which will lead to arrangement in the
nature of a traffic alliance that would
serve the Pennsylvania equally as we'll
as outright ownership. Reports that
the Pennsylvania intends to purchase
the Atlantic Coast line have been met
with denialS, it being stated by those
who control the Atlantic Coast Line
company that their railroad is not in
the market.
In many respects the proposed ar
rangement would be similar to the one
established between the Pennsylvania
and the New Haven system, in which
it bought an interest, although it was
not in a position to buy control. With
the alliance of the New Haven, how
ever, the Pennsylvania occupies a con-
trolling interest in the traffic of the
New England states.
Other trunk line systems are en-
tering into agreements with southern
lines in view of the new business
that the canal will offer, and it is
this phase of the situation that has
also had an influence with the Penn
syIvania interests in its bearing on this
subject.

New York, Nov. 30.-Upton Sinclair,

divorce from his wife, Meta F. Sin

mendation made by Feferee W. S. KEEL

tails of life at Arden, the summer camp
of the Sinclair colony, while Harry
Kemp, the Kansas poet and co-respon-
dent in the case. was dweller there

Ellen Barrows, stenographer for Sin
clair, testified that Kemp was in COM
pany with Mrs Sinclair almost all the
time he was at Arden, and they fire.

Sinclair himself testified that he had
introduced Kemp to his wife three years
ago in Battle Creek, Mich. The author
said Kemp had given assurance that
his friendship for Mrs. Sinclair was
purely platonic.
1t appeared by the report that Mrs
Sinclairs attorney moved to dismiss
the suit on the ground that Sinclair
has condoned his wife's acts
In denying the motion, the referee
said:
1T is true that the husband is re-
garded as the protector of his wife, but
l hardly think the most ardent advo-
cate of the female side of the PROPOSE
ton would insist that the husband
should devote his whole time to the
protection of his wife. The only wea-
pom that he is permitted to use in this

Negro, Who Wanted Damages Against
Railroad. Lost Case.

Kansas City. Nov 3O.-Judge A. S
Manufacturing in the federal court
here practically established the right
of a railroad to enforce the Jim Crow
law, providing separate coaches for
white and negro passengers. The case
was that Of DR.. w. j. Thompk1ns, OF
Kansas City, against the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway and the Pull

Thompkins alleged that in making
trip from Kansas City to McAlester,

Vinita, Ok, while he held a Pullman
ticket good to McAlster and that he
was forced to ride in the negro
coach. in which accommodations were
poor. In deciding the railroads had
right to use separate coaches, Judge
VanVaIkenburg said;

his ticket in one state and Travelled
into the state where the law for the
segregation of races in railroad trains
is enforced does not involve it as an

conform to the law in states where the
law is operative. In fact, the railroads
have no alternative"

ELLIOTT IS NOT WORRIED.
President of Northern Pacific Does
Not believe Panama win Hurt.

Not Believe Panama Will Hurt.
St Louis, No, Nov. 3O.=In discuss
ing the opening of the Panama canal,
President Elliott of the Northern Pa
cific was quoted as saying that while
he looks for a large increase in water
borne freight between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, he was not disposed to
think the transcontinental lines would
suffer, as they would increase their
freight transportation for a long dis
lance within the coast zones. There
was plenty of time. however, for the
railroads to adjust themselves to the
circumstances and they had not yet
come to the bridge. The cities on and
near the Pacific coast, in which his
company was interest, he found were
beginning to show much activity in
the matter.
Reports from Washington state that
alleged opposition of transcontinental
railroads to the financing of an indie
pendent steamship line to operate
through the Panama canal, between
Atlantic and Pacific coast terminals, is
to be the subject of an inquiry by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce. now sitting in Washington
These reports are probably due to
the fact that B. M. Baker of Balti-
more, who recently attempted to or
ganize an independent steamship line
to operate through the canal told the
interstate commerce committee last
week that financial interests had re-
fused to back the proposed line be-
cause they feared injury to transcon-
tinental railroad securities.
Mr.. Baker failed to substantiate his
statement, however.

Ticket ScaIping Scandal Will BE
Probed by National Commission

New York. Nov. 30.-Ban johnson,

PENN. AFTER GULF BUSINESS.
Purchases an Interest in Atlantic
Coast Line for Connections.

New York Nov. 3O.-Pennsylvania
railroad interests are contemplating
an extension of their railway system
10 the Gulf, being actuated by the
same motives that induced z. H. Har-
Timan TO acquire the Illinois Central
as a southern outlet for his western
systems. This is due to the convic-
tion of railroad men that the opening
of the Panama canal will exercise a.
tremendous development on the rail-
road business of the southeastern sea-
board.
It is understood that the Pennsyl-
vania will in all probability purchase
