COUNSEL CONFERS
ABOUT THE U. P.
MERGER.
ATTORNEY CRAvATH FOR U. P.
TALKS WITH M'REYNOLDS ABOUT
TRADING S. P. STOCK FOR BAL.
TIMORE AND ATTORNEY.
GENERAL FAvORS IDEA.

Washington, ID. c., June 24.-Paul
d. Cravath, counsel for the Union Pa
ci1c, conferred with Attorney General
McReynolds today over the dissolu-
tion of the Union Pacific merger, with
particular reference to the PROPOSE
tion to exchange $3S,0O0,000 Southern
Pacific stock held by the Union Pa
cifc for a similar amount of Balti-
more and Ohio held by the Pennsyl-
vania.
The attorney general has not yet
definitely announced his approval of
that proposal, but his tentative con-
clusion has been that it is step in
the right direction, because it divorces
the Pennsylvania from an interest in
the Baltimore and Ohio, competing
line. Mr.. McReynolds probably will
advise the United States court at ST,
Paul of his attitude before July l.
The Union Pacific'c plans submit
ted to the court for the disposition of
the remainder of it's Southern Pacific
holdings are opposed by the attorney
general.

count on imports in American ships
and other features of the tariff bill
to which many foreign nations OBJ
/! jected were eliminated in the revised
sections of the bill reported late to-
day by the finance committee.
The income tax feature was revised
to exempt any portion of mutual life
insurance premiums actually returned
to policy holders as dividends. This
change is believed to meet the objec-
tions against the former provision.
Another amendment would empow-
er the president to suspend duties or
assess higher ones against nations
discriminating against the United
States in commerce.
Another proposes a commission to
recommend later legislation on tariff
administration.
Anti-free sugar Democrats got
together in the senate caucus today
and agreed to support an amendment
by Senator Shafroth to eliminate the
provision for free sugar in 1916 and
one-half cent pound after that time
on refined sugar.
The Shafroth amendment accepts
the duties proposed in the Underwood
bill on sugars for the next three
years including rate on refined SUI
gar until 1916, of approximately one
cent pound. Louisiana senators and
those from beet sugar states are
making no fight to change those rates |
but are urging their colleagues to
abandon free sugar for further fifty
per cent reduction in 1916. If the |
is voted down, the anti

to propose.

WILL
SIR JOHN SCOTT OF ENGLAND LEAVES
S5,OO0,OOO TO LADY SACKvILLE
AND HIS RELATIVES OPPOSE PRO-
BATTING The WILL.
SAY SACKvILLES USED
UNDUE INFLUENCE

London, June 24--London society
crowded the probate court today at the
beginning of the suit over the will
of the late Sir John Murray Scott.
Sir John left nearly S5,000,000 to
Lady Sackville, of Knole Park, Kent,
wife of Baron Sackville, a relative of
a former British minister to Wash
ington. Malcolm Scott, a brother of
Sir John, opposes probate of the will
on the ground that Baron and Lady
Sackville used undue influence in or
der to secure the bulk of the estate.
He also claims that codicil, for
which he has offered $4,000 reward,
was executed after the drawing of the
will, for which the Sackville's seek
probate.
ago, an envelope left by Sir John
Murray Scott addressed to Lady Sack
Vile was opened, but it has not been
disclosed whether it disclosed the
missing codicil.
At the opening of the case for Nal
colin Scott today, his counsel outlined
he general nature of his case.
"The Sackvilles," he said, spent
more than ten years in obtaining COM
)lete ascendency and domination over
Sir John Scott. The nature of that
influence was such that. although they
we're not relatives. they induced him
o finance them for enormous sums
uring his lifetime and to leave them
he greater part of his estate Of S.
00,000."
