REVISED PLAN FOR
D|SSOLV|NG THE R.R.
REPRESENTED
Motion for Extension of
Time Until July l COnsid-
cred by COurt-Syn-
opsis of the Plan

ST Paul. April Representation OF a
motion for an extension of time until
July /. which was taken under ad-
visement by the court and informal
presentation of the revised plan for
the dissolution of the Union Pacltlc
ana Southern Pacific railways merger,
marked the conference here today be-
tween Robert s. Lovett of the Union
Pacific and United States Circuit Judges
Walter H. Sanborn. William c. Hook
and walter I. Smith.
Mr.. Loyetts motion for an extern
sion was at first denied, the judges be-
ing undecided whether the court of
appeals had the jurisdiction to grant
an extension under the mandate of the
supreme court OF the United States, but
later it was decided to leave the ques-
tion of jurisdiction to the supreme
court
All three of the judges expressed
their opinion that the extension should
be granted, believing the railway was
doing all in its power to present
plan of dissolution that would be ac-
ceptable to the supreme court and TO
the attorney general.
In a telegram to District Attorney
c. c. Houht, which was read to the
court, Attorney General McReynolds
declared his Willingness for the de-
sired extension
May Take Time
Upon confirmation from the supreme
court as to the jurisdiction of the cir
cult Judges, the court of appeals may
reconvene to act on Mr.. Loyetts mo-
ton 1t may be some time, however.
before this is DONE
Mr.. Lovett and his associates left late
today for Washington to place the
time extension motion before the SUI
preme court.
Following his presentation of the
motion Mr.. Lovett informally presented
to the court tentative plans for the
dissolution. ~
A synopsis of these plans was given
out by the judges, the principal points
being as follows:
"The amended plan in brief is that
the entire s126,65O, 900 in Southern Pa
cific stock to be distributed shall be
deposited with trustee and disfraE-
chised while so held; that certificates
of interests shall be issued by the trus-
tee against Such snafeS Wnlcn Snati
carry no voting right and which shall
he Interchangeable for Southern Pacific
shares held by the trustee, only upon
the filing of an affidavit by the ap-
llieant for such exchange, showing
that such applicant does not own 1000
shares or more of Union Pacific stock;
and that these certificates of interest
shall be offered for subscription and
purchase to all Union Pacific stock
holders ratably at distribution ratio
not less than 3S per cent. The largest
Union Pacific stockholders (36S in num-
Der, according to the September stock
list. which was before the supreme
court) are by this amended plan en-
tirely excluded from the acquisition OF
any of the Southern Pacific shares to be
distributed.
They may purchase their ratable share
Of the certificate of interest," but they
cannot themselves convert the certificates

Pennsylvania, to prevent the republicans
from offering as party measures any
amendment to the Underwood bill.ls
Representative Payne. of New York,
author of the present tariff law, led the
fight against the Moore resolution and
urged the adoption of a substitute for the

which he had presented to the republic
cans of the ways and means commit
tee This substitute bill fixing the rate
OH pure wool at Is cents a pound and
arranging the duties on the various
stages of manufactured wool at rela-

by the caucus.
The discussion was spirited and Rep
resentative Moore made vigorous
speech in support of his bill. He was
interrupted frequently by Representative
Fordney and the two veterans shook
their fists at each other over q half
dozen rows of seats as Mr. Fordney de-
clared 4the bill offered by Mr.. Payne Of
fered the manufacturers less protection

Representative Lenroot, of Wisconsin
made a plea for the Payne bill saying
that the progressive republicans had
come more than half way in the agr6e-
ment to support it and he believed the
republicans should unite on the measure
He pointed out that the rules commit

the best tabs" that Jake Wells has
sent to Birmingham in some time, with
good company, some excellent song
numbers and specialties and COM
pany including 10 chorus girls and
eight principals.
Two of the members OF the cast
create the laughs, Janet Priest. a
dainty bit of comedienne. and Cecil
Summers, the latter as Johnathan JOY,
lawyer, who wants to marry every
woman who has any money or any
prospects for getting it. Miss Priest
is an eccentric comedienne after the
order of Sis Hopkins, and she won
favor with the audience.

company, is one of the prettiest of the
seasons soubrettes, and she can also
sing we'll. Little Girl in Blue" is
her best song, while the feature of the
entire musical programme was Life

The chorus this week can be given
the palm for good looks. While there
have been individuals in some of the
shows which were rprettier, there hasn't
been any one company with as many

has.
Nothing of plot burdens the mind,
the show being more of a combna- :

by Miss Priest, Mr.. Summers and Miss

The first session of the Alabama
Sociological congress ever held Will
convene tonight at o'clock at the
armory in the city hall, and will hear
Gov Emmett ONeal and President w.
p. G. Harding of the Chamber of Com
Inerce welcome the delegates to Bir-
1ningham.
There will be a preliminary business
meeting al o'clock this afternoon at
the Chamber of Commerce building at
which the organization of the Alabama
Sociological congress will be completed
Committees will be appointed and ey-
erything placed In readiness for the
opening session tonight
The congress will hold three ses-
sions early tomorrow and Thursday at
which a number of eminent social
workers will make addresses on the
problems of the day. Among those who
will address the meeting are: Dr.
Cressy /. Wilbur, chief statistician of
the bureau of census; George Settle
southern field secretary of National
Playground and Recreation association;

of interest into the deposit coupons
which represent Southern Pacific shares
because of their inability to comply with
the condition precedent or swearing that
they do not own one thousand or more
shares of Union Pacific stock.
Must Be Bona Eide Owner
The exchange cannot be affected for
them through some dummy or an agent,
because the proposed affidavit requires
the applicant to swear that he Is the
bona fide owner of the certificate of in
terest presented for conversion.
1.-THE objection expressed in the SUI
preme courts opinion of January 6, 1913,
therefore is absolutely avoided, for the
3eS Union Pacific stockholders to whom
alone the objection pertained instead of
being entitled as their prorata shares TO
% per cent of Southern Pacific stock and
being theoretically to increase this hold
ing by acquisition of rights from the
smaller shareholders. are not entitled to
ACQUIRE one single share of Southern Pa
cific stock to be distributed but are spe-
cifcally disqualified from such acquisi-
ton
The amended plan continued:
But even if it be assumed that any
concert of action by the 21,7S2 holders
of Southern Pacific stock resulting in a
control of the elections of the Southern
scific company were possible, the ef-
feet would not be to continue the pre-
vious combination. These 2l,782 holders
assumed to be able to control the South
ern Pacific company by the holding OF
virtually 46 per cent of it's stock are not
in control of the Union Pacific Railroad
company, and are not able to elect its
directors. since their aggregate holdings
Of Union Pacific stock amounts to only
372 per cent of the Union Pacific stock
and as the remaining S6s stockholders
who hold 62.S per cent. naturally rep
resent the controlling interest of the
Union Pacific company"
The plan also provides for the sale to
a syndicate or on the New York Stock
Exchange of any certificates of interest
not subscribed for by the Union Pacific
shareholders.
"The certificates of interest it contin-
ues, acquired on the open market vii
