Not because of ominous news from the

first lesson in the rigors of camp life as 1t
is in time Of war, thirty-seven members OF
Company H Of the High School Cadets
from the Western High School, under
command Of First Lieut. Blanton.
marched from the school at 10 O. clock this
morning to camp on the Maryland side
Of the river about half mile this side
of Great Falls. Their tents will be
pitched between the canal and the Com

Combated virginia's Claim
to Jurisdiction Over I'M
mense Territory.

The part played by Maryland in the for
nation Of the federal Union and especial
Nv the attitude of that state in regard to
the western territory was the subject OF
paper read last evening by A. Leo Knott
of Baltimore before the Columbia Historic
cal society at a meeting held at ITO
street northwest.
Eat the time of the revolution, Mr..
Knott said, "Virginia claimed the land
from the Atlantic to tie Pacific. or what
was known as the South Sea-. This title
was granted to the original London CON-
pany. as the width of the American con-
tinent was greatly under estimaed. Mary
land. however, contended that when the
London company was dissolved the land
was revested in the crown and the cnar-
ter became null and void.
Refused by Maryland.
.To further her claims Virginia offered
an amendment to the ninth article Of
federation in effect that no state shall be
deprived of her territory for the benefit of
the United States. At this juncture
Maryland came to the fore and refused to
sign the articles of federation until this
immense tract Of territory be coded to
tie ln1te0 states as n WhOie anu pcT-
toned up in states as best suited to the
needs of the country. By the action of
states i'm surrendering their claims the
northwest territory became common prop
erty of the thirteen original states and
was later apportiOned.
1.-THE question of jurisdiction to the Po-
tomac river, one of the last differences be-
tween Maryland and Virginia. was set
tied by court Of arbitration composed OF
william g. Graham of North Carolina
jeremiah Black Of Pennsylvania and Sem
ator James r. Beck, who was later SEN

GOULD Faction ELECTS
MISSOURI PACIFIC HEAD
B. F. Bush Defeats D. R. Fran
els, Representing the Rookie
feIIer.Kuhn-Loeb Interests.

NEW YORK, April 19-George j.
Gould, opposing the Rockefeller-Kuhn-
Loeb interests, brought about the cleo
| ton yesterday Of B. F. Bush as his sue
cessor az president Of the Missouri Pa
cifo railroad, defeating the opposition
candidate, David r. Francis, former Gov
ernor Of Missouri. Mr.. Bush Is president
of the Western Maryland railway.
| The victory Of the Gould faction was
followed Immediately by the announce
ment of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.'S withdrawal
as bankers for the system. and with the
resignation Of Paul NJ. Warburg. the COM
pany's representative on the board Of d.
rectors, and Of Cornelius Vanderbilt, an
ally Edgar L., Marston, representing
Blair & Co.; Fred T. Gates. representing
John D. Rockefeller. and e. D. Adams.
American representative Of the Deutsche
Bank, voted against Mr.. Bush. but did
not sever their connection with the board.
1t is rumored. however, that Messrs.
Adams and Marston will resign Also al
though this cannot be confirmed.
Statements by Both Sides.
After the meeting both George Gould
and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. issued statements
explaining their side Of the case. Mr.
Gould regretted personally the with
drawal of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., "but thei-
interests in the Union and Southern Pa
ciic. both essentially competitive lines
to the Missouri Pacific, made a continu-
ance of their relationship as bankers, in
my Judgment, fnadvisable for the stock
holders Of the Missouri Pacific as we'll
as for the public" He congratulated the
road on the selection Of Mr.. Bush
Kuhn. Loeb & Co., on the other hand,
eYn1oinoA that fhav did mi fox Nv
Bush. and that because of his election
Messrs. Warburg and Vanderbilt felt "un-
willing to share responsibility in the
management of the company under these
circumstances"
A member of the board said after the
meeting that the oppositioV to Mr.. Bush
was grounded in the belief that he would
not command the support Of the banking
community and THAI he had not suficient
experience in handling large properties.
Career Of B. +. Bush.
B. F. Bush. the new president. was
with the Northern Pacific many years
came president Of the Western Mining
and Coal Company. the corporation whiaA
controls the Gould coal and ore proper
ties in the western states. In March.
1907, Mr.. Eush became president of the
Western Maryland, an eastern Gould
road. In March. 1908. the company went
into the hands Of receiver because of
inability to refund maturing obligations
on advantageous terms. Mr.. Bush was
made receiver. quickly recognized the
company. and became its president when
II emerged from receivership in Decem-
Der, 1909.

OF whom voted against his election as

The Winslow mail., 1911-02-25

Magazine publishers have
been putting up a strong
fight against the proposition
to increase the one cent a
pound postal rate on second
class mail matter, which is
calculated to be brought about
by a higher charge upon the
advertising pages. The argu-
ment of the publishers has
been that they are already
paying a fair price, and that
the increased charge would in
many cases place revenue
paying properties i'll position
where the deficit would be so
great as to force them out of
business.
