"All those women who will promise me
to eonio wltli tliclr hatchets tomorrow at

Mrs. Nation. Nluo women stood.
Hull Miilomi K'ci'i'f I" Snntv.
"That's Rood," cxclnltned Mrs. Nation.
"Two arc enough to smash n Joint. And

Many personal encounters took place. Eyes

Tho Hnrrlman syndicate Is not giving out
freely information regarding the Union
racnic deal, but It Is leaking out gradually.
soiuie nnu peruiunent cnnlrnl nf id..
trni pncille without assuming any liability
for tho whole Southern Pncllb; system.
One member of tho Union Pacific Interests
freely admitted that tho fundamental inter.
est of tho company In tho Southern Pa
elite Is In Hb coutrol of tho natural and
only possible outlet for tho Union Pacific
to San Francisco. Ho said:
"Tho Central Pacific nnd Union PnclIlJ
were conceived as one route. Their di
vision into separato compnnles wn un
natural and harmful to tho best Intoresti
of tho companies themselves und to the
transportation facilities of tho public. Tho
two companies often worked in opposition.
The Southern Pacific's other lines aro
naturally allied with the interests of Cali
fornia nnd tho southwest, and form tho
transportation system complete and vnl
ablo In Itself, oven without the direct own
ership of tho Ccnertral Pacific.
"The plans of tho syndicate now holding
the Southern Pacific for tho Union Pncille
for financing thu property will not bo
dellnltely formed until tho cvmrni Pm-in
lenso hns been carefully gono over to see
If that property can bo segregated from the
lines under fcnslblo conditions. Tho
tidopilon of tho plan of Issuing collateral
trust notes, as In other recent mergers. In
not likely to be ncceptcd until other plans
hnvo been thoroughly canvassed. The
control of the Southern Pacific will not ho
held In any way which will create any bur
den on thu Union Pacific. Tho terms under
which tho Cenlrnl Pacific Is held are
definitely fixed by tho Southern Pacific I
per cent collateral trust bonds Issued In
1SPD. Tho section of tho mortgage says:
"Tho existing lease of the Centrnl Pacific to
tho Southern Pacific ahall terminate In case
tho pledged stocks lie sotd In consequence of
default. Tho Southern Pacific will not ns
aent to any other lease on Its properties
unless such lease Bhall have been npproved
by tho holders of a majority of Its bonds
outstanding, or shall contain provision
terminating tho snmo in enso such nleilirni
stocks shall bo sold.' This would seem to
afford nmplo authority und feasible means
for tho Union Pacific assuming tho Central
Pacific lease If It Khould bo decided to turn
that property directly over to tho Union
Pncille.

republican politics In the northwestern part
nf tho state, was In thu city yesterday.
Mr. Curllo has traveled over the state con
siderably during tho past few weeks, and
has had ample opportunity to slzo up tho
political situation.
"I find," ho said, "that Mr. Hosewatcr's
candidacy for tho Untied States somite. Is
growing In popular favor. This Is particu
larly true In the western nnd northwestern
parts of the state, wliero the Interests of
republicans Is largely centered In tho man
wlio shall be chosen to represent tho North

"In the Fourteenth senatorial district,
where I live nnd where I am most familiar

fluential ho has been in the tedemptlon of
tho stnto from llryanlsm and popoeratlc
misrule. From my observations 1 feel con
fident that tho election of Mr. Rosownter
would give general satisfaction."
Mr. Currle's activity In politics has al
ways been that of a zealous worker with no
ax to grind, llecauso of his wldo acquaint
ance nnd popularity with tho cattle and
business interests in his section of tho state
ho hns repentedly been sought to nceept
