CHICAGO, Dec. 17. All doubt regarding
tho attltudo of the Southern Pacific toward
the Hock Island on account of tho lnttcr's
El Paso extension was removed today, whon
trafllc relations were entered Into by the
traffic men representing both companies.
To the Hock Island officials nt least the
olutlon of the problom Is highly gratify
ing and to It may bo ascribed tho declara
tion made by Chairman Cable, who said:
"Wo have no Intention of building from
EI Paso to tho Pacific coast and unless
conditions chango I soo no reason for our
changing our position In tho matter."
Tho futuro relations between the Southern
Paclflo and tho Hock Island were settled
In a conference held between Judgo Stubbs,
traffic director for tho Harrlman lines, and
J. M. Johnson, freight traffic manager for
tho Rock Island.
Thoso officials wero not long In arriving
at an agreement, which Is to tho effect
that tho Southern Pacific will place tho
nock Island on a. parity with tho Southern
Pacific connections as soon as the Ut Paso
extension Is opened for traffic.
This arrangoment Is of a reciprocal char
acter. Tho Hock Island will deliver nil Its
southern California traffic to tho Southern
Pacific at El Paso and tho Southern Paclflo
ngrocs to treat tho Hock Island exactly tho
tamo as It treats other connections. Thin
can mean nothing clso than n fair division
of traffic In return.
COURT HEARS ARGUMENT
"VVolf Urn, nnil Other Try to Knjoln
Northern I'nrlHn from Curry Inn
Out Iteorunulint Ion l'lnn,
NEW YORK, Dec. 17. Argument was
hoard by Justice Scott In tho supremo court
today on tho application of Wolf Ilros. a
Co. and other plaintiffs to enjoin the North
cm Pacific Hallway company from carrying
out a plan of reorganization adopted In No
vember to retiro Its preferred stock of
175,000,000. The preferred stockholders of
the company claim that they are excluded
from purchasing certain bonds which prlv
llogo they allege Is given to tho owners of
Iho common stock.
Counsel for tho plaintiffs alleged that tho
contemplated retirement of tho preferred
stock was part of a scheme entered Into
between tho directors and tho holders of tho
largest' part of common stock to subscrvo
their prlvato purposes by making largo
financial profits on the common stock and
by giving tho presont holders thereof tho
control nnd management of tho company.
This, It was alleged, wns In violation
of tho duties and tho trust Imposed upon the
directors and was to tho Injury and detri
ment of tho proferred stockholders, and
especially tho plaintiffs. In opposing tho
motion, Francis U. Stetson told how tho
plan of reorganization wan adopted. He
said tho consent of all tho stockholders to
tho plan had been obtained and that that
took out of tho case any questions nu to
lack of equity. Thus ho arguod, It confined
counsel tor plaintiffs to the claim that tho
action of tho board of directors was Illegal.
Mr. Stetson declared that tho contract was
clearly legal.
Justlco Scott Instructed counsel on each
sldo to submit brtofs tomorrow at tho latest
because tho cobo was too Important to per
mit of any delay. Ho said that ho would
hand down a decision soon.

Whatever tho result of the court proceed
ings Thursday In the bate ball war may ho
thero Is a wood chance that more Interesting
base ball history will bo made In this city
this week. Unn Johnson, president of tho
American league, nnd thu foremost llgure
In base hull today, Is expected hero tomor
row or Friday.
Johnson Is n man of quick notion ami
them may be n new circuit formed In
quick ortler If Frcedman beats Spalding
In court tomorrow.
It became known yesterday that n new
club has already been organized In this
city, rondy to do business nt once. Tho.
organization wns completed last Sunday,
presumably Just boforo Spalding mndo tho
public announcement that Freedman would
be out of bare ball in the near future. It
Is claimed that the new club lifts an option
on a convenient plot of ground suitable for
base ball playing.
During the political squabbling the fact
has apparently been overlooked that the
New York club lias been practically torn
to pieces by the American league. Davis,
Hickman, Warner and Selbach have
Jumped. The club Is today without a man
ager, unleBH Secretary Fred ICnowles rnn
bo considered as such. Symptoms nf a
panic displayed themselves last week when
Christy Mathews was Kent out of town o
nvold thu American league manager, who
mado their present felt nt the National

Should thu courts decide thnt A. O. Spald
ing was not legully elected president of tna
league. It will merely put the magnates
back to where they were last Friday In
tho Fifth avenue hotel, with a deudlock
vote of four to four.

When Help Comes.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Doc. 17. Harriet P
Murphy, prominent in church nnd society
circles and treasurer of tho Klngsley House
fund, was murdered at her home at 6221
Howo street, linst Knd, by n burglnr, about
3 o'clock this morning. Thu murderer
made his escape, and, although tho whole
detective ami pollco force of that section
was called, the man has not been captured,
Miss Murphy wns tho only sister of Select
Councilman John A. Murphy' from tho Twcn.
tleth ward nnd was .10 years old. She. with
her brother and two servants, women, lived
alone In the house.
Miss Murphy was sleeping on the second
floor. She was nn expert with tho revolver,
having practiced many years for the pur
pose of protecting herself In tho event of
Just such an uttack as happened this morn
ing nnd she always had n pistol cither under
uor pillow or within easy reach.
About 3 o clock this morning her brother
was awakened by two Bhots In tho house.
nnd, hastening to his sister's roon, found
her lying dead on tho floor with n bullet
wound In tho head. The burglar was a
porch climber, lie scaled tho porch posts I
nnn entered tho window of Miss Murphy's
room by breaking tho glnss. It Is sup
posed that the nolso of tho crashing situs
awakened her nnd ns sho Jumped from the
ceu with revolver In hand tho man tired.
Marks In tho snow on the norch roof In-
dlcato that only one man entered tho room.
Miss Murphy usually kept the collections for
tno Klngsley Houso fund In her room until
they reached u sum largo enough to be
plnced in tho bank nnd It is thought the
burglar was nftcr this money.
When the pollco raised Miss Murnhv thev
found the revolver within a few inches nf
her right hand under tho folds of her drcks.
Tho falling of Miss Murphy's body Is
tnougnt to nave senred tho thief awny bo
foro ho had time to think about Btenllne
anything. A careful Investigation was
mado of tho room nnd not n thing of vnlue
wns missing. Tho police are Inclined to
think tho burglnr was a negro and ni noon
claimed to have n good clue.
Air of Myster)-.
Developments tonight In the crse deepen
the air of mystery shrouding it. At thu
preliminary coroner's Inquest It was shown
that two bullets wero mlselng from Miss
Murphy's revolver. Ono was nccountcd for
by tracing It to tho wlndowlcdgo where It
lodged.
No trnco of the other has been found. Miss
Murpby's physician says his patient has not
slept for fifteen nights, and the physician
who examined the wound said tho hnlr
around tho wound In tho head was
scorched, showing tho hot wus fired at
close lr.iiie.
Bloody tracks outside In tho snow, sup
posed to havo boon made by the murderer,
aro shown to have been made by olllcers
who nrrlved early on thu scene, nnd hnvlng
been in tho room tracked blcod outside dur
ing their investigation. While many are In
clined to believe It a caso of suicide while
temporarily doranged through insomnia tho
pollco authorities will mako no statement
nnd tho friends of the family aro positive
thia theory Is wrong..
Tho hunt for tho possible murderer Is still
being kopt up nnd every possible clew fol

Sale Continues Unabated
The buyers are realizing the benefits of this sale by the low prices made on
every piano, on every organ, on the entire art stock, on all the instruments. The
cause of this is the liberal allowance made by the insurance companies by their quick
adjustment at our recent fire. It's astonishing to see pianos sold at prices that arc
only half of the regular price and on most liberal terms; to see organs go at less than
half of the makers' prices.
Then see tin Pictures we soli at t from 1 Or to HOc on the dollar, and the Picture Frames at discounts that will
clean them out in a hurry. Then, itf-ain, we have the finest' Mandolins, running from 5.00 up. Guitars, from 1.00

Musical Instruments at retail for wholesale prices. Now ask where shall I buy my
