New York, Feb. 15.-The contest for
the control of the Missouri Pacific
Railway Co., which the Rockefeller
Kuhn interests are said to have initi-
ated by seeking to GUST from the
presidency Of the railway. Geo. J..
Gould, was the subject matter OF gen
eraI discussion today in banking
houses and stock exchange.
On the floor OF the exchange the
stock of the Missouri Pacific was
heavily traded I'm at rising prices.
Thirty Eight thousand shares were
delt in during the first hour.
Mr.. Gould called at the banking
house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and join
ed in a conference there with MEM
bers of the banking firm. Neither Mr..
Gould nor the Kuhn-Loeb bankers
would talk of the reported contest.
Mr.. Gould and his associates are now

$4,000 and 100000 shares of a total
capital stock of approximately $780,

KENNEDY'S union
LABEL BILL UP

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. Ex-senator
Kennedy's union label bill is one OF
the most popular introduced this ses-
sion. Last night number of print
ers from different cities of the stats
arrived to do a little quiet lobbying on
their own hook just to see that no
green shade is pulled over their eyes
and that the bill goes safely through.
A number of senators, who have al
ready expressed themselves on the
subject. declare there is hardly a.
doubt but that the bill will pass, as
the prevailing sentiment seems to fore
cast its passage. But 1t is supposed
that the printers, like others interest
ed in certain legislation concerning
themselves, would like to be on hand
just to take that precaution which Is
frequently necessary to prevent q
round of cure.
Charles A. Fraser, president of the
Trades Assembly of Fargo. was ex :
pected with the printers delegation
last night, but he did not come, though
1t is understood he may find 1T neces-
sary to be on hand at later date.

San Francisco, Call Feb. 15.-"Dic-
tator Dick" or Fearless Ferris Of
lower California" promises to be the
title of the next chapter written in
the history of the Mexican revolution.
Dick Ferris, the Los Angeles pro-
moter and primary election candidates
fer the nomination of lieutenant gov
ernor, promises to do the writing. The
plan, is to capture lower California and
convert ii into g republic in alliance
with the United States.
Out OF compliment to President Por-
flrio Diaz. who is the executive over
lower california Ferris will call his
land the Republic of Diaz. To receive
such a compliment Diaz will surely
turn over lower California to Ferris.
Ferris asked him for it in night let
ter telegram sent from the St. Francis
hotel.
In order that no mean advantage
would be taken Of the insurrectos who
are waiting for bright day to cap
ture Juarez, Ferris sent another night
letter to General Pascal Qrozco, COM
mander of the insurrectos, which
served notice on the valiant rebel that
it would be a. waste of time for him
to make campaign against lower CAL
ifornia, as General Ferris will be in
the saddle under the banner that
Willis drew and there will not be a
chance for the insurgents.
Ferris and Polk are not the only
leaders in the new republic movement.

SHOOTING BILL

Bismarck. N, D.. Feb is. Spring
shooting OF geese is a qRestion in
which hunters in all parts of the state
are vitality interested. Many favor the

large number OF communications
which are daily being received by the
members In both houses. Senator Duis

and names.
These birds which nest on the Ice

cessible in the spring Of the year but
in the fall as well, SO that hunters
have ample opportunity to take shot
at them in that season.

cred the decision that the American
Thread Co, Incorporated under the
laws Of the state Of New Jersey was
liable to an income tax assessment In
this country on profits amounting to

The justice held that, although the
mills and business of the company
were In America, the fact that most
of the common stock was held here
and that directors in England were
highly concerned with the direction Of
its affairs brought the concern within
the provisions Of the British income
tax act.

SION WILL RESULT.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Rseiproeity
with Canada, which today became
the principal question before the
senate, is believed to depend on
whether the opposition will resort
to a filibuster to defeat il. 1t is
believed, in the judgment Of the
senate leaders on both sides of the
chamber, that If the Mccall bill to
carry out the provisions of the
Canadian agreement 10 permitted
to reach a vote at this session, the
senate will pass IL by as decisive
a vote as was recorded for the bill
in the house.
The house committee on foreign
relations met today and reported
the Canadian agreement back to
the senate and it was sent to the
finance committee. The effect of
referring IL back TO the senate IL
q practical recognition of the fact
that It contains nothing likely to
involve the United States in obi
cations to Canada in conflict with
peaceful trade relations. After
lying on the clerks desk for a
short time il was sent to the
finance committee. This gives to
that committee the control of the
whole subject.

The Mccall bill now goes to the

way or the other, and has indicated
that he would call an extra session of
