how thousands of Democrats through

ton a plan which will open to Demo-
Gratis the $4,000 third and fourth class
postmasterships covered into the civil
service recently by Mr.. Taft. Mr..
Burleson said tonight that he had not
yet decided whether TO ask the Presi-
dent for revocation OF this order or
not. II he decides against asking for
revocation he will then suggest that
postmasters who benefited by the
Taft order be required to pass n merit
test which would be open also to
others. II the President took the first
course, thousands OF postmasterships
would be available at once and IL he
chose the other. Democrats who en-
tered the merit competition would
have as good chance as Republi-
can incumbents.

DISSOLUTION
OF RAILROADS
Southern Pacific Announces MOdi-
fled Plan for DissOlving
the Two Railroads.

NEW YORK. March l3.-The South
ern Pacific Company. with the con-
currence OF the Union Pacific Rail-
road. today announced a modified
plan OF dissolution under the United
States supreme court decree in place
of the original plan, which recently
met with serious opposition on the
part OF the California railroad COM
mission.
The new plan, as outlined by Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman OF the South
ern Pacific Company. substantially
provides for n traffic agreement with
out trackage privileges TO the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific.
In brief. the Southern Pacific is
willing to carry Union Pacific-Centr
Pacific traffic over the Benicia cutoff
and its California terminals. instead
of allowing these roads direct use Of
this cutoff and Southern Pacific ter
minals.
incidentally. although this was not
referred TO by Chairman Kruttschni.t.
acceptance by the federal authorities
and the California commission of
these provisions would effectually bar
out the Western Pacific road, which
has asserted its right to the use of
the Benicia cutoff and Southern
Pacific terminals
The modified agreement" said Mr..
Knuttschnitt. will be submitted 20
the circuit court in the ST. Louis dis.
triCt on Saturday. and complete de
tails have been telegraphed to the
California commission"
The agreement. il was further
stated. has the approval OF Attorney
General McReynolds, and Southern
Pacific officials are hopeful OF its ac-
ceptance by the circuit court and the
California authorities.
Chairman Kruttschnitt's announce
ment followed a day OF unusual ac
tivity at local headquarters OF the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
lines. Some intimation of it's import
became known in stock market cir.
cles shortly before the close and was
followed by a spurt in tine so-called
Hartman shares. especially Union
Pacific.
Failure of the federal court and
the California commission TO accept
the new plan by Saturday midnight
will involve the forfeiture of $3.50.

L. Duncan, of the circuit court for
Baltimore county, said no wedding IL

sons may marry, with the consent If
their parents, common judgment would
make him forbid the issuance of the
license because of the tender age of

by the girl, appeared at the Townso1

written consent of her parents to the
marriage, asked for license. He wos
