DISSOLUTION PAN
NO PLAN AT ALL
ATTORNEY SAYS UNION PACIFIC
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MERGER
WILL NOT Dust"

San Francisco, Feb. 22.-Charles S.
Wheeler, attorney for the Western
Pacific Railway company, indicated
before the state railroad commission
today that he would base his opposi-
ton to the Union Pacific Southern
Pacific dissolution scheme principally
upon the contention that it's adoption
would permit a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law and would defeat
the decree Of the supreme court of the
United States hat Union Pacific
stockholders cannot purchase the
stock of the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
Wheeler pointed out that some 800
Stockholders in the Union Pacific con-
troll G3 per cent of the ~company's
stock, while the remaining 81 is owned
by nearly $4,000 individuals. A syndi-
cate of New York bankers, headed by
Kuhn, Loeb & company, has under
written the Southern Pacific stock
not taken up by the "outside'' stock
holders in the two companies. These
number 10000 persons.
"Under the proposed arrangement"
said Mr.. Wheeler, "the Union Pacific
stockholders will be entitled, as a
matter of right, to about 30 per cent
of the total Southern Pacific stock.
Starting with this, it will be only
necessary for q relatively small per-
centage to fall to them through the
underwriting syndicate in order to
leave domination of the Southern Pa
cific with them.
MIR. Hartman acquired this DOM
ination with 81 per cent. The supreme
court formally adjudged that 4G per
cen is sufficient to control any great
corporation and it is safe to say the
proposed arrangement will yield at
least a dominating percentage into the
hands of the Union Pacific stockhold-
ers. This is what the supreme court
has declared must not be done"
William Sproule, president of the
southern Pacific, was on the stand
during the afternoon.
The order, either approving or dis
approving the plan submitted by the
two companies for dissolution, win be
made by the railroad commission
Monday night. The attorneys agreed
that while the decision of the COM
mission could not be binding as effect
ing any other portion of the roads
than those in California, it would be
submitted to the United States dis
trict court at st. Louis. where another
phase Of the plan is yet to be heard,
"A telegram vas sent to Attorney
Genera Wickersham at st. Louis ask
ing a continuance until Tuesday.
The Western Pacific will present its
case here Monday on he protest
made.

A Lame Duck.

Omaha, Neb, Feb. 22.-"The West
ern Pacific is a lame Duck said
Robert S. LoVett, chairman of the
board of the Union Pacific railroad,
who passed through Omaha this even
ing, en- route from San Francisco to
st. Louis.
Judge LoVett declared his belief that
the owners of the Western Pacific
were trying to unload the property
on the Union Pacific and We're at
tempting to take advantage of Cali
fornia conditions to force his road to
take over the property.
Judge Lovett expressed satisfaction
with the general plan approved by
Attorney Genera Wickersham for di-
vorcing the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific and believed the circuit

it,

ghosts of buried hopes, sad mem

As she entered the cemetery, she
could see the little white head-stone

distance. She knew the path well, but
it came to her that this was the first

So overcome by emotion and blind.
ed by tears was she as she neared the
little grave that she was almost upon
it before she discovered that some one
else was bending over it, a man whose
shoulders seemed to probe the depths
of their souls. Surely, some one
must have mistaken the grave! Yet.
there was something strangely fa-
mlliar about that close-cropped brown
head! Slowly, the man, as if suddenly
aware Of her presence, arose and thsir
eyes met in one long look which SEEM

OF tears overwhelmed her,
and shook her fraiI body. The past
year of battling with the world,
brooding sorrow and disillusionmeat,
all had told upon her, and as she look
ed ahead to the long vista of lonely
years, she regretted her hasty step,
and was altogether ready to retrace il,
if possible.
Indeed, she had not truly meant to
leave Hugh! Trey had quarreled, quar-
relied bitterly, Snd many harsh and
hasty words had been spoken on
both sides, but she had not really eX-
pected that he would let her go. Once
before, after a quarrel, she had be-
gun 10 pack her belongings, and he
had taken little grip out of her hands
in that strong, masterful way she
loved, folded her in his arms, kissed
away the angry tears, and all had
been we'll. But this time she watched
and waited in vain for the overtures
toward reconciliation, but instead he
had calmly watched her preparations
to leave, and f4aIIy locked himself in
his den. a.,
Her parents, upon her arrival home,
had been as ever kind and consideratS,
but plainly out OF patience with what
they termed their childish quarreling.
She had patiently waited there for a
sign, word, a letter, but the days had
grown into weeks, and the weeks into
tlonths, and none had come. Finally
a letter did come from their family
lawyer informing her in a cold, matter
0f-iact way that their household
goods were stored, and enclosing D
generous check, which, the letter read,
would be forwarded to her each
month, but she had promptly returned
it. curtly refusiIg to accept any help.
She would earn her own living, .as she
had so often told Hugh she could, in
their little quarrels. .....
But she was finding it hard task.
She had not cared to take a position in
her home town where every one wore
that sympathetic, 'I-told-you-so" smile,
but had come to the city. She had
readily secured employment in an
office, but she found living expenses
high, and it was sometimes hard to
make ends meet, and she was very
lonely!
The first few months of their separa-
tion she had felt resentment, their diff
ferences fresh in her memory, but
long ago they had faded into deep
regret, a yearning for the sight of his
face, the sound of his voice, the touch
of his hand, the protection Of his
strong arm. She had Indirectly heard
that he had given Up his position and
left the village, where no one knew.
Exhausted by weeping, she again
picked up the tear.wet photo and, as
che had tenderly Nglaced it in her
dresser drawer, said bitterly: Eyes, he
has forgotten us, baby-you and me
and tomorrow is Memorial day, and no
