WOULD FORCE SALE
OF CENTRAL PACIFIC
GOVERNMENT FILES SUIT AT
SALT LAKE TO END SOUTHERN
PACIFIC MONOPOLY.
Action Taken Would Force ReIin-
quishment of Ninety-nine Year
Lease.-Violation of Sherman
Antitrust Law Charged.

salt Lake City.-Suit was filed BY
the government on Wednesday in the
federal court for the district of Utah
10 compel the Southern Pacific com
pany to relinquish its control of the
central Pacific railroad. which it
hoids by virtue of a ninety-nine-year
lease of the property.
h suit was filed by United States
District Attorney William w. Raw,
acting under the instructions of Unit
cd States Attorney General ]. C. Nc
Reynolds. Violations of the Sher-
man antitrust act and of the Pacific
railways act of 1862 are charged in
the petition for the dissolution of the
railroad interests. The allegations of
the complaint are that the combina-
ton of the interests Of the two rail-
roads Is in restraint of trade.
The petition filed charges also that
the Southern Pacific company is dis
terminating against the transconti-
mental line formed by the Union Pa
cine and the Central Pacific railroads
IN FAVOR OF the longer route via the
sunset lines, all controlled by the
southern Pacific company.
In many ways the suit is one of
the most important in the history of
western railroads. Should the gov
ernment's contention prevail. the
Southern Pacific will lose control of
the Central Pacific from Ogden to
San Francisco, and it is considered
more than likely that the Union Pa
clhc, at the suggestion of the depart
ment OF justice, will purchase he
INES or the Central Pacific.
At the very time that the suit was
being filed in Salt Lake delegations
from California and Oregon were try
ing TO urge upon the department of
Justice a delay for thirty days in Or
DER that a further investigation might
De made. The business men of Cali
fornla and the other coast states
strongly oppose any curtailment Of
the holdings of the Southern Pacific
company.
The Central Pacific road from Og-
den to San Francisco with it's connec-
tlon with the Union Pacific at Ogden,
petition alleged, forms a line to
the east competitive with the Sunset
Route of the Southern Pacific ex.
tending from San Francisco south to
California and thence east
to New Orleans, where the connec-
lion is made with steamship lines.

Washington, D, C., ADril16-The armoured cruiser Pittsburg which arrived Sunday to go into ordin- ary reserve has been ordered to immediately reload and sail for the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
 Advices received today state that President Huerta has submit ted to an executive session of the Mexican senate the demands of the United States government, but no answer has as vet been re- ceived.
 President Huerta believes that the question as to whether the Mexican authorities were within their rights in arrestlng the United States paymaster and an escort of marines the other day, should be threshed out at the Hague.
 It is an historical coincidence that the Atlantic fleet should arrive at Tampico on the 1Gth anniversary cf the declaration of var with Spain.

SHOWING WHAT
 CAN BE DONE

Washington, April 16-The South ern states at one time years ago raised hogs in large numbers and cured practically all of the bacon necessary to feed the people of tha, section. At this time, that can no. ba said of a single Southern state and Of but few individual coun ties in that part of Jle United States. There is one county of GeOr- gls though, that is showing the south what can be done in the hog raising line. Brooks county holds she distinction of raising and sel- ling more bacon than any other county in Georgia. The county sold last year nearly $10O,O0O worth of bacon. What is being done in Brooks county, it is believed, according to a bulletin issued by the Department Cg Agriculture today, could be done in every county in the South. This would put the farmer on a better fin auclal footing because he would Rot be dependent upon cotton as his sole cash scrop.
