RumOr Great Northern and Northern

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. 1.-THE rumor
that the Hill interests will give up

will in the near future be controlled by
an independent company. will not down
in eastern financial circles. The story
comes repeated in one form or another
frequently in New York market re-
ports. Here Is the latest:
cif1c were the subject Of rumors that

ton Joint per cent bonds AS
usual. these rumors were unconfirm-
able. but with Pennsylvania giving

Central about to give up Michigan
Central and Atlantic Coast Line about

likely that Great Northern and North

be surprising if neither controlled it
in the future. Burlington's value is
great and is generally recognized that
it could be disposed Of to advantage"
1t will be noted that in all discus

Of its financial position is emphasized.

Other Items Of Interest I'm tho
Traffic World.

An ocean to ocean line for the Union
Pacific is the next move anticipated oy
students of conditions In Topeka ratl-
way circles.
The aims and ambitions Of the Union
Pacific railroad are a matter OF leading
interest at this time. 1t IL, an open
secret that the Union Pacific Is walt
ing eagerly for the expected divorce
between the Central and Southern Pa
cific to take place in order that the
way may be made clear to the ANAL
gamation Of the Central road. 1t is
thought that the government would
have no objection to such a combina-
ton. as t, .ese two lines are in no sense
competitive. In fact they appear on
the map as one line, one being con-
tinuation of the other.
II matters take place so that the On-
ion Pacific does gain control of the
Central they will have a trunk line of
their own from Kansas City and To-
peka and Omaha to San Francisco.
Their western terminus now is at Og-
den and they are compelled to use the
tracks of another company to reach the
Pacific.
Another project which IL said to be
under serious consideration by the di-
rectors Of the Union Pacific is the pur-
chase of the Wabash. This road is to
be sold to the highest bidder in the
next few months, and its purchase by
the western line. together with the ac-
QUESTION Of the Central Pacific, would
give the Union Pacific a trunk line
practically from ocean to ocean.
AS far as the financial affairs OF the
Union Pacific are concerned no one
doubts their ability to make the money
outlays that the purchases mentioned
would require. The treasury of the road
Is known to be In excellent condition,
and their reserve fund is enormous.

ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK
 AT HARTFORD JULY g
Progressive State Wide Conference Will Be Held in Capital City
 On That Date.

Hartford, Conn, June 2,-It was an- nounced yesterday at progressive headquarters that Colonel Roosevelt will speak at Hartford on July 23, at the progressive statewide conference to be held there on that date.
 This will be a great gathering of progressives from" all over the state In accordance with the vote of the state central committee. the state campaign will be opened with this conference for the consideration of the issues before the state and the lines of action to be pursued by the party. There will probably be an afternoon, or all-day, session for such general matters, banquet under the auspices of the Hartford Progressive club, and the conference will con- clude with the address by Colonel Roosevelt. All progressives are in vited to be present.
 The arrangements for the confer ence are in charge of a committee Of the state central committee, con- sisting of George A. Romano of Dan bury, Yandell Henderson of New Ha- ven. H. R. Branche of Norwich, A. w. Olds of Windsor and Joseph w. Alsop of Avon. The banquet will be han dled by committee of the Hartford Progressive club. These committees will meet soon and the details of the conference and banquet will shortly be | announced.

constituencies they would be forced to accept it or be crushed, the con- stitutionalist leaders ask, "how and by whom?" They poilt out that the al- legged object of the Niagara Falls con- ference was to promote peaceful set clement. With nearly two-thirds of Mexico in their control and now be- ing restored to a basis of peace, after four years of civil strife, the consti- tutionalist leaders fail to see what peaceful measures could be brought to bear to constrain them to accept the plan. They assert that, with an army of approximately 50,00O men in
 the field, the occupation of the re-
 mainder of Mexico the capture of the
 capital and the elimination of Huerta
 and his followeds are matters of not
 more than two months. Should any
 or all of the foreign nations party to
 the conference at Niagara Falls de-
 eide, as a result of that conference,
 called to promote peace, to use force
 to secure acceptance of their plan the
 constitutionalists feel that it would
 present a situation so contradictory as to be ludicrous. The announcement l that basis had been secured for the solution of the agrarian question
 was received with laughter. The con- stitutionalists do not recognize the right of the mediators to rule concern ing this subject especially as the stand of the Huerta party on the matter
 largely was responsible for the un- rest in Mexico.
 The constitutionalists assert the foreign mediators have not been able to settle this question in their own
 countries and yet they apparently
 take it upon themselves to settle so grave a matter for country of whose
 local conditions they must be ignor- ant. The leaders explain the agrarian
 problem is one for local settlement,
 and that the only parties to the Mia gara plan who understand local con- ditions are men who hold radically l opposite views to those of the great | majority in Mexico. The inference ! that Huerta might become a candidate for president at future election is regarded as impossible. He is re- garded as a criminal by the constitu- l tionalists and that he should be a can didate for anything but the guillotine
 or the electric chair is not considered seriously by them.''

O'ROURKE BROWNS ON NEW BRITAIN PROTEST
League President Says He Won't AL low It, as Bridgeport Won by
 Large and Safe Margin.

Bridgeport, June 2.-President O'Rourke said yesterday that he had received no protest from New Brit ain over Sundays game and under the circumstances he would not allow a protest. If the game had ended with the score of 4 to 3 in Bridge ports favor the league executive de- clared he would have sustained New Britain's protest and ordered the game played over. But since Bridge port finished five runs ahead, the one run would make no difference in the result.
 New Britain kicked when Blum was allowed to score from second on a wild pitch that rolled into the Bridge port bench. President O'Rourke says the ground rule, allowing two bases on a thrown ball into that territory, does not cover the case because the trouble was caused by a pitched ball On pitched ball that strikes any thing within ninety feet of the plate. the runner is allowed only one base.
