The commission decision was not

that involving the Pennsylvania's New

Say ThWarted Love
Resulted in Murder

Menlo Park, Calf, July 22.-(AP)
A theory that the ambitions of a
gardener to marry his wealthy en-
ployer may have resulted in the
deaths Of Mrs. Edith Orr Spencer and
John Viano was held Friday as po-
lice investigated what they termed
a Staying and suicide.
From Vincent Cruz, Filipino house,
boy, investigators heard that Viano,
Al, had been eager to marry Mrs.
Spencer, 52-year-old window of two
months, since the death of her hus-
band, Franklin Spencer, San Fran
cisco elevator manufacturer.
Coroner j. C. McGovern said the
houseboy told Of conversation with
|Viano concerning the marriage of a
chauffeur and his wealthy employer.
Cruz said Viano Remarked:
"Maybe could do that too"
From other sources, police said,
they learned the gardener had been
Respondent because of losses he had
sustained from financial investments
made on Mr.. Spencer's advice.
Physical evidence in the case, the

WANTS INFORMATION
Bismarck, July %, 1892.

Editor, Tribune:
Your editorials regarding the pub
lication of detailed report of each
item of the salaries of all city Off
Gals, from dog catcher to mayor,
with reductions contemplated, should
be highly commended and supported
by all tax paying people.
The only item published so far has
been the salary Of dog catcher, and
that was raised.
At least five thousand of the people
of Bismarck would welcome a chance
to get a good look in on the affairs
of our city, same as they do in al
most every other city of the state.
Another matter that has been
forced upon my attention lately Is the
fact that, although the people voted
overwhelmingly for reduction of our
assessed valuation from IS to so per
cent. the city officials have taken 1t
upon themselves to boost the assess
'ment figures as turned in by the as
SCISSOR to an amount in some cases
even greater than under the old IS
per cent figure.
I am in business and pay around
five hundred dollars taxes each year,
but unless we have deal that is open
and above board I may not be paying
any taxes next year at all. will be
tout.

CARRIERS CONSIDER
CONSOLDATlONPLAN
OF COMMERCE BOARD
New Alignment Proposed to
End Years Of WrangIing
Over Groupings

Washington. July 22.-(Ry-A new
consolidation plan for the unification
Of scores Of eastern railroads into
four great systems now rests with the
carriers
It was put before them late Thurs
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which sought, by yielding on
some points and making new sugges-
tons, to end years Of wrangling over
how consolidation should be effected
to preserve competition, serve the
public and save money.
The plan was not the commissions
original proposal. just exactly two
years and seven months earlier, for
the establishment of five eastern
trunk lines: it was not the railroads
suggestion last October for four Sys-
TENS; it contained some concessions
and new ALLEGATIONS the commission
hoped would be accepted.
BY the new plan carriers would be
grouped under the Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio. Pennsyi-
vaina and New York Central. The
Delaware and Hudson, and the Sea-
board Air Line would constitute in
dependent systems while the Pennsyl-
vania would be forbidden entry into
New England.
What would be the carriers final
attitude toward the offered comprom-
ise could not be said.
When the roads in October present
ed their four-party suggestion, they
said If it were not approved without
change the plan would fail. What
effect business conditions have had
since remains to be seen.
The new schedule would break up
the proposed Wabash-Seaboard sys-
tenn; abrogate two antitrust decisions
by authorizing the Pennsylvania to alb
sorb the Wabash and the Baltimore
and Ohio to take in the Western
Maryland
Likewise, it would leave with the
Louisville and Nashville and the
southern ownership OF the Chicago
Indianapolis and Louisville (The
Monon) instead Of allocating one hall
