Tied to Track as
Train Comes On

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-
Bound to the track in front of a rap
idly approaching express train on the
Pennsylvania railroad by four men,
believed by the police to be striking
section hands, Patrick ]. Dugan, a
signal man, escaped being ground to
death last night when the engineer,
noting the absence of the signal light,
stopped the train within ten feet of
where he was tied.
Dugan was unconscious, his skull
fractured, apparently from blow
from a pick handle.
He was on duty at the tower at
Sfxty-second street and Lancaster
avenue on the main line of the rail-
road when he noticed that signal
light had been extinguished. He went
to investigate, when the men sud-
denly Ieaped upon him from thicket.
The attack was the first serious act
of violence, the police say, on the
part of the striking workers of the
Pennsylvania railroad within the city
limits.
More than five hundred section
hands employed in the yards of the
Pennsylvania railroad in and about
PHILADELPHIA are now on strike. about
one hundred having failed to report

Decision on Accepting
Ambassadorship.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Na-
tional Chairman McCombs took up
with President Wilson today the situa-
ton in various States as to appoint
ments.
The President consulted with Mr..
McCombs on what he thought the
sentiment of the country was with
respect to legislation, and asked him
about some of the men to whom
foreign posts might be offered. Mr..
McCombs did not discuss. his confer
ence specifically but said he was glad
to learn that former Governor Burke,
of North Dakota, was to be United
States treasurer. as he had been urg
ing his appointment.
The President and Mr.. McCombs
ehatted a long time, and the frequent
laugh of the President and his cam
paign manager was one of the evil
dences that the burdens of state had
been put aside for at least part of
the conference.
Mr.. McCombs said he was not yet
ready to announce his final decision
as to taking the post of ambassador
to France.
John X. Sague, three times the
mayor of Poughkeepsie, N. ", was
brought out today in more than per-
functory fashion as candidate for
appointment as collector at New
York. His name was presented by
friends, who were confident he would
be the selection. 1t was said at the
White House that in case Dudley
Field Malone accepted no office at all.
President Wilson would issue state
ment of his regard for Mr.. Malone's
qualifications.
Henry r. Hollis, the newly elected
senator from New Hampshire greeted
the President, who offered his con-
gratulations. Associate Justice Nah
Ion Pitney. classmate of the Presi-
dent at Princeton, was another White
House caller. Justice Pitney said his
visit to the President was purely per-
sonal.
George Foster Peabody was an
early White House caller. He de-
clared he had not been offered the
position of collector of the Port of
New York.

HALTS DISSOLUTION
OF PACIFIC MERGER
Modified Plan Abandoned as
Unsatisfactory to the Cal
ifornia r. r. Commission.

ST. LOUIS, No. March 15.-Chair-
man Lovett, of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn announced in the Federal Court
here today that the modified plan for
the dissolution of the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific had been abandoned
because of the opposition of the Cali
fornia Railroad Commission.
As a result of the abandonment 1t
now is necessary for the representa-
tives of the Hartman interests and
the attorney general TO devise new
plan that shall meet the approval of
the Judges of the Eighth Federal cir
cult. who are sitting in this case as
the District Court of Utah.
When the new plan will be ready
Judge Lovett did not indicate, fur
ther than to say that the Supreme
Court had granted three months for
compliance with its dissolution de-
cree. AS the dissolution decree was
handed down in the latter part of
December it is thought that the fresh
project will be devised within few
days.
He Explains Failure
Judge Lovett said the failure was
dne to the opposition of the California
Railroad Commission to the traffic ar
rangement contemplated between the
Southern Pacific and the Union Pa
cific.
This arrangement, which provided
for the preferential interchange OF
traffic by the two roads in the use OF
the short line between Oakland and
Sacramento, ;, said Judge Loyett in ad-
dressing the court, applied only to
interstate traffic, concerning which the
California Railroad Commission has
no jurisdiction.
However, to satisfy the French
banking interests, which, hold $5o,-
OOo. 900 loan against the Central Pa
cific. it is necessary to lea@e the Cen
trail Pacific to the Union Pacific. We
recognize that this lease must have
the approval of the California Rail-
road Commission to be valid. and for
that reason the opposition of the Cali
fornia commission TO the preferential
ira fiic agreement makes it impossible
for the Union Pacific to continue with
the modified plan"
Future Plans UndiscIosed.
After court adjourned Judge Lovett
refused positively to make any state
ment to newspaper men as to the
future plans of the railroad.
In apologizing to the court for his
failure to submit modified plan, he
explained that the agreement with the
banking syndicate for the floating of
the stock distribution for the dissolu-
tion expired tonight, and that the rail-
road had hoped to close up the mat
ter today.N
