TO SELL TO HIGH BIDDERS
SALE TO BE CONDUCTED AFTER
THE MANNER or PLACING
MUNICIPAL BONDS.
A TRUSTEE IS PROPOSED
UNDER THE LATTER ARRANGE
MENT STOCK WILL BE PRAc-
TlcALLY DIsFRANcHlsED.

New York, May 29-Two alterna-
tive plans for the disposition Of the
$126.65o,OOO southern Pacific stock
owned by Union Pacific were APPROX
ed by the Union Pacific board today.
The first contemplates selling the
stock to highest bidders, after the
manner Of municipal bonds. a mimi
mum bid to be hereafter designated;
the second contemplates placing the
stock with trustee without voting
power, to be later distributed upon
affidavit that owners are not pos
SCISSORS of Union Pacific stock. Both
plans will be submitted 10 the court
'gor approval with the request tnat
the company be permitted to elect
which it will adopt. Failing court ap-
proyal, the Union Pacific company
will ask that the stock be placed IN
the hands Of receiver to be named
by the court.
After the publi- shuy Of this after.
naive plan Union caiic stock broke
from $50 to 1477S, but speedily rallied
to 1491z. Southern Pacific declined
two points to 95 and rallied point.
A statement issued by Chairman R.
S. Lovett of the Union Pacific execu-
tive committee. after the directors
meeting, outlined the plan as follows:
q. We propose to offer the South
ern Pacific stock held BY the Union
Pacific for public subscription, in a
way similar to that in which New
York city bonds are Offered, namely,
to invite bids at such prices and tor
such amounts Of stock as the bidder
may desire, with minimum price to
be hereafter determined under which
no bids will be accepted, with such
restrictions as the court may pre-.
scribe respecting the amount OF
stock to be allotted to Union Pacific
stock holders. Provision is to be
made for underwriting the offer in or
der to insure its success.
2. AS an alternative we propose
to deposit the stock in the hands Of
some bank Or trust company, as trus-
tee, without voting power against the
issue Of its beneficial certificates
therefor, such certificates having no
voting power, but emitting the hold
er to all dividends and being ex-
for the stock itself upon
the execution by the holder of an af-
fidavit that he is not the owner OF
any Union Pacific stock. AS this
would result in disfranchisement Of
the stock while held by the trustee,
and as long as held by any Union Pa
cific shareholder, It is proposed that
in this case the certificates should
be offered to the shareholders Of the
Union Pacific alone, at such price as
the board Of directors may hereafter
deem advisable and that il at the
time it is deemed necessary the Of
fer should be underwritten.'

new INDICTMENT COMES In
PLEA I'M ABATEMENT TO FORMER
TRUE BILL MADE NULL BY
GRAND JURY
MILLER ALSO IS ACCUSED
HE WILL be TRIED ON AN iDEN-
TlcAL cHARcE Ar NEXT
TERM pr COURT

Upon the return yesterday after
noon OF second Indictment against
James Bell chafged with perjury in
Connection with the trial Of Louis Rob
erts, who was convicted at the Nov
ember term Of court OF stealing one
head OF cattle Ifbn the Bell ranch of
the Red River Ranch company, the
accused man was brought into court
and entereda plea Of not guilty. Judge
David j. Leahy ordered the case tried
at once. A jury was secured and the
state began the presentation Of its
case. Shortly before noon today the
state rested ano the defense In
troduced its first witnesses. It was
expected the case would require the
attention Of the court all afternoon
and probably portion Of tomorrow
morning.
Bell was indicted in company with
John Miller, also accused Of perjury
in connection with the cattle stealing
case of Roberts Miller will not be
tried at this term eouert. it was stat
ed. because some Of the jurors who
are serving in the Bell case of neces-
sity would be called upon to sit in the
Miller trial, owing to the fact that the
petit jury panel would be exhausted,
Belts attorneys, Reed Holoman of
Tucumcari and Herbert w. Clark OF
Las Vegas, recently filed plea in
abatement against an Indictment un-
der which Bell was accused of per
jury. District Attorney Charles w.
G. Ward accordingly presented addi-
tional evidence to the grand jury and
caused another indictment to be
drawn, This indictment being pre-
sented and the attorneys on both sides
announcing they were ready for trial,
the case was begun.
The state introduced evidence to
show that Bell, in the case Of Roberts
last fail, testified that the defendant
in that action was in his company
upon a certain night last summer
while evidence introduced showed that
Roberts was in The Bell pasture at
that time. The state set up that
Roberts was convicted upon evidencs
contrary to that given by Bell, show
ing that his story was discredited by
the jury.
The defense introduced a number Of
witnesses to show that Bells reputa-
tion for honesty and veracity is good.
Bell testified in his own defense. He
stated that he had worked as a spe-
cial officer for the El Paso and South
western railway and at present is en-
gagged in the cattle business.
The case is being fought hard by
both sides. A large number Of wit
nesses and friends Of Bell and Rob
erts are here to attend the trial
In addition to the indictments
against Bell and Miller the grand jury
yesterday afternoon returned a no-true
bill exonerating clemente Lucero Of
the charge Of larceny Of cattle. The
grand jury is working hard and ex-
poets to complete its labors on Sat

How long hayo you known the
plalntiff?' inquired Attorney Pound.
Wen, he's known me all my life
There was laughter at this reply
and the witness changed his reply
to: I've known him as long as I can
remember"
The witness home at Oyster Bay
is within a hundred yards of the
plaintiff. He testified to intimate as
sociation with the plaintiff-camprng,
riding, swimming, fishing, hunting

"One of the party had sottle ol
whisky in his state room and there
was a bottle Of brandy. The colonel
did not drink anything except at
night; just before going to bed, he
took a teaspoonful of brandy in a
large glass of milk. He called it a
milk punch
Now, taking your earliest recol-
lections of the plaintiff, wnat can you

"Of course, he was not drunk,

The young man remained silent,
and Attorney Pound added:
"Of course it's delicate question,
answer yes or no"

Attorney Andrews asked the wit
ness whether there had not been

IMPROPER LANGUAGE IN
HIS PRESENCE
SO SAYS NEWSPAPER Man
WILLIS THOMPSON DESCRIBES
HIS INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP
WITH THE COLONEL

Marquette, Mich, May 29.-Five
witnesses for Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, a relative, former mem
Der of the Rough Riders regiment, a
former locomotive fireman, a news
paper man and former Judge, testi-
fled today in Colonel RooseVelt's
suit for libel against George A. New
ett, the Ishpeming newspaper owner.
All the witnesses called by the
plaintiff asserted that the colonel
was only moderate user of inro1i-
cants.
The substance OF the testimony as
given by Philip Roosevelt, a young
son of the colonels cousin; Charles
Willis Thompson, New York news
paper man; Andrew Abeie, a former
locomotive fireman; Edwin Emerson,
a Cuban Rough Rider compaigner'
and A. z. Blair, former common
pleas judge of Ohio, was that during
his campaign in Cuba, with the
Rough Riders, Colonel Roosevelt
drank only black coffee or water. and
never liquor OF any kind. That dur
ing his political campaigns the Colo
mel drank champagne only OCCASION
ally and never to excess. That while
colonel Roosevelt kept a large and
varied supply of wines at his home,
he never indulged in them immoder-
ately.
'He kept a regular gentleman's eel
lar, Philip Roosevelt said.
Colonel Roosevelt as usual, since
the beginning of the hearing, listen
ed with the keenest interest to the
witnesses denial from the stand that
he frequently got drunk, as charged
in the editorial published by the de-
fendant.
G. w. Thompson OF New York, for
nine years a Washington correspond
ent. and since 1908 a political writer
for New York newspaper, testified
today in the Roosevelt libel case.
AS Washington correspondent, he
said, Il used to go to the White
House to see Mr.. Roosevelt. | saw
him usually alone, sometimes in the
morning and sometimes in the after
noon, usually in his office, but some
times when, in order to lose not a
minute in his work, he received visit
ors while in the BARRIERS chair. | ney-
er detected the odor Of liquor on his
breath, never saw him in the slightest
degree under the influence OF liquor
and never saw his manner in any way
changed from its ordinary one"
Ever go on any trips with him?"
I was with him on his 1900 mile
swing around the circle last year,
which lasted month. afterward
joined him at the Mercy hospital, chi
cago, when he was shot and stayed
there until he went to oyster Bay,
went there with him and stayed there
until election. Two weeks after he
was shot in Milwaukee he went to
New York on two occasions to ad.
dress mass meetings, and went with
him and reported them"
@on these trips did you see mut
Of him?'
Z saw him constantly at all hours
Of the day and night, and never saw
him take drink or affected by IL
quor. whenever he left the car
followed him"
did you see him drink wine?"
"Only at dinners Of the Gridiro1
club, when he had glass of cham
,pagne in front Of him. He would oc-
OCCASIONALLY take a sip from it,
Mr.. Pound asked him If Colonel
Roosevelt ever used profanity.
Never
did he ever use obscene Ian
guage?a
