APPOINT BRANDS
 ATTACK ASSLANDER

Baltimore, February 17.-Count Appon- vi, the Hungarian statesman who arrived here this afternoon to deliver his ad- dress on international peace at the Friends Meeting House tonight was asked concerning the objection raised by Slovak editors of Chicago to his appear ance In that city to speak on "univer- sal peace"
 Referring to the charge that as minister of education he was responsible for the death of many peasants in Cernova, the count said:
 Why, in my official position I had no more to do with this trouble than you. I can only characterize this accusation as audacious ard the mildest term I can use is that of base islander. Not one word of truth in it."
 50 far as the criticism of the school system is concerned, he added, that Is in keeping with the other. There Is absolutely no interference with the con- duct of the schools, the only restriction being that they must not teach unpa- triotic sentiments.
 "I deplore the publicity given such slanderous statements which undoubted- ly find credence in this country, where the local conditions in Hungary are not understood and therefore they are cal culated to do us an injustice. I had in tended speaking in Chicago on 'Univer- sal Peace" but now I have decided to change the subject and speak on Sec taran and Racial Problems in Europe
 Shortly after his arrival the count called upon Cardinal Gibbons, by whom he was accorded a cordial reception After the address he left for the west.

TWO RAILROADS
 ID BE SEPARATED

St. Louis, February TIA St. Louis capitalist just back from New York told today of a secret conference Thursday between E. T. Jeffrey, George J. Gould's chief adviser, and Edwin Hawley. Inti- nations he received from them were meager. They merely said the two chief Gould lines would be separated and that Hawley would figure in the new transac- ton before the plans were consummated.
 Respecting this, the St. Louis Re- public tomorrow will say
 There is believed to be some basis for the report that the Missouri Pacific Southern may be separated. The one is an east and west and the other a. north and south.
 The Missouri Pacific holds 443,336 of the 443s67 shares of the Iron Mountain. Could this stock be sold at 8 reasonable price the Missouri Pacific would be able to increase it's interests in the Denver and Rio Grande system which dominates the Western Pacific. Or it might be united and the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, both of which are dominated by Hawley and his associates.
 ''The Chicago and Alton, controlled by the Hawley group. would be good line for the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern. The Iron Mountain should, it is conceded, absorb the Texas and Pa cif1c and the International and Great Northern. which will be sold at receivers sale in Texas in May. The Gould plan has been to attach the International and Great Northern to St. Louis Southwest directed by Edwin Gould"

 YORK DARK HORSE

Albany, N 5., February Ex-Governor Dix was brought into the senatorial con test again today when it was reported that a quiet movement was under way among some of the upstate supporters of William F. Sheehan to put forward the governor as a compromise candidate.
