MILL AND HARRIMAN AT ARMS
Consider Diisolntion of Agreement to Enter
Each OtWi Gnoun Territory.
OV0 RIVALRY MORE ACUTE THAN EVER
L
TturwattoM B114 !
SeavtU, VTillm Hill Flua Cull
(oradat ExUuloa-Complicates
Blar ImsKlarratloB HTem.it.
On tha v of probably th. greatast Im
migration movement in th. history of th.
fsst is thrMtened aa outbreak ot th. old
VUl-Harrlmaa rivalry which proml.es a
Ciiturbano. In railroad affairs and a aerloua
complication of the Immigration situation
which It waa aupposed had been placed
upon a aat. equilibrium aa the result of an
agreement entered into by Hill and Harrl-
man. That agreement was. that Hill should
keep out of Harrlman's territory on the
Paclflo and that Harrlman should not tres
pass upon Hill's exclusive grouud further
up th. coast. It Is the threatened dis
solution ot this compact that causes th.
apprehension. Both magnates ar. under
stood to have taken under serious consid
eration th. advlslblllty of dissolving their
agreement.
Tha story of the HUl-Harrlman affair 1. a
long one. Mr. Hill I. authority for the
statement that he and Harrlman made auch
an agreement aa thl.. Oa his last visit
to the north Pacific he gave out th. state-
Bent that by such a league he had agreed i
not to build south Into California and liar- j
liman not to extend his lines to Puget
Bound. In th. meantime Mr. Hill begins to
lew. with grave apprehension, the pending
results of the Union Pacific's aggressive
campaign for colonising the northwest and
becomes dissatisfied with the "agreement."
Harrlman has too good a gateway at
Spokane to suit the merger magnate and
ao It is now said that both men are on
the verge ot breaking their contract and
cutting Into the field single-handed and in
dependent for all they can get, thua prom
ising as hitter a warfare, probably, as ever
was fought in the west.
Plaas AaraTresslv r.np.l...
It la a well known fact that last year
the Union Pacific laid the plans for its ex
tensive northwest colonisation. It estab
lished a central agency at Chicago under
direction ot G. M. McKlnney and branch
agencies all over the west for the aole pur
pose of Invading the Hill territory with
home settlers. It was but natural, there
fore, that Harrlman would want to get
Jnarer Seattle and the Puget sound country
Avrlta bis own Hoe. than Spokans, which
olut he reaches by means of his Oregon
Abort Use from Portland. It Is understood
also that Hill did not have to court Harrl
nil a very persistently In order to get him
to take under consideration the dissolution
of their agreement. The fuel that Hill
threatens to drag his tracks on down into
California, with terminal, at Eureka and
nther nearby points, thus placing his lines
ili a position to succesnfully compete with
ie Union Pacific there, seems to have no
deterrent effect upoa the Harrlman Inter
nals. As it is. Harrlman with h'.a gats-
way at Spokane Is able to atve. the Bur
liogton a pretty good rub for Missouri
river traffic, and If he Is enabled to build
Into Seattle, either from Spokane or Port
land, he will manifestly be a big gainer.
Harrlman once made a proposition to Hill
for a traffic agreement over the Northern
Paclfio into Seattle, hut tbla was rejected
and then a threat was made by Harrlman
to extend hi. line ud from .Portland to
Seattle, hut this seems to have been side
tracked by thl. mutual compact. . Twelve
years ago th. Union Paclflo people went so
far a. to have a aurvey made for a line
Into Seattle, so that their longing to get
into the Hill country la na new thing.
California Bids Bill Enter.
Of course If the Harrlman project la
carried out Hill would practically be
obliged to run hi. Northern Pacific down
into California and this Is what he Is said. I
to have determined on. Owing to the un
settled and unsatisfactory status of rail
road affairs In California HtU'a advent, It
la said, would be met with great delight.
In fact, it la reliably reported that since
the traffic agreement between the Santa

become a subject of investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, has
taken effect the shippers of California have
offered substantial inducements to Hill to
enter their territory. The report even
goes further and aays that certain moneyed
Interests of the golden west have tendered
their good offices as a means of facilitating
Hill's entrance.
Numerous element, and condition, enter
into this situation, but it is believed that
if the Harrlman Interests could be dis
suaded from their avowed determination ot
colonizing the northwest, recognized a.
distinctly Hill's territory, toward which
they are vigorously and aggressively press
ing, war could be averted. But no one
seems to think that this could be done
and therefore a lively and prolonged skir
mish Is thought to be Inevitable.

The "Burning Bush" evangelists of the
Holiness association, which Is to hold serv
ices at Schllts roof garden for ten days, ar

party will be Joined here Saturday by Duke
M. Farson and E. L Harvey ot Chicago.
This sect hss been recently at work In Chi
cago and the New England states, where
they have been dubbed "Jumpers," because
of their peculiar action during their reli
gious services, none ot the members ap
parently being able to control their nerves
and muscles, but Jumping, clipping their
hands and shouting during exhortations
and prayers. The sect has existed In Kan-
aaa for eeveral years and their services
have attracted the attention of crowd, be
cause of their novelty.

believing that Omaha offered better ad

but that he would "see" Mr. Moody some
day and then would explain "all." In the

Thus wrote Arthur Wolfsohn, formerly
agent of the Hartford Life Insurance com
pany In this city, with offices In the Bee
building, to S. W. Moody, general western
manager for that company, with head
quarters at Chicago. Mr. Wolfsohn's letter
was dated April 4 and written or at least
mailed at Cincinnati.
"The letter came like a bomb-shell to
me," said Mr. Moody, who has come to
Omaha to check up the affairs ot the
office. "I could not have been mora sur
prised. Mr. Wolfsohn was doing a splen
did business and I aupposed was a steady
man."
Of th. details of Mr. Wolfsohn'a case
Mr. Moody Is as yet entirely Ignorant. No
one else hss been found who can offer any
light upon them. Miss Huxford, the ste
nographer lsst employed In Wolfsohn'. of
fice, la wholly In the dark a. to the char
acter of her former employer, trouble
and no book or paper In the office reveal,
a single trace. Not a sign of a letter
from "the woman In the case," presuming
from Wolfsohn's letter that there la one,
ha. been found. All the correspondence
which Mr. Moody has been able to locate
Is of a business nature and contain, noth
ing to Indicate that Wolfsohn ever did
snythlng but hustle for life Insurance. No
financial discrepancies have been discov
ered. Disappears March 31.
According to Miss Huxford, Wolfsohn left
the office March 21, after paying her up to
date. When be failed to return or writ.
for a week she thought h. had taken a
longer business trip than usual and when
two weeka elapsed without hearing from
him she decided something was wrong.

Cincinnati Mr. Moody cam. to Omaha

Yoat Confer, with Krlkera.
President Yost of the Nebraska Tele

the city, held a conference at hi. office
ye.terday with about forty linemen, ground
workers, and inspectors over the Issues of
the present strike. As only a few ot these
men had Joined the strikers no settlement
was due from thl. conference.
"There was nothing to settle," said
President Yost, "for the men all told ma
they had no grievance and were perfectly
satisfied with their lot. One who had

"As soon as I got home I sent an Invi

matters, but the business agent forbad,
th. strikers to com. and I suppos. only
a few of tbos. present had struck. I don't

they ar. dissatisfied. W. fall to sr. any

paying $2.75 a day for city men, which I.
more than they pay at Kansas City, where
they get better rates than w. do. As I un
derstand it all the men ask Is for us to
make some further recognition of their,
union, which seems to me unnecessary and
uncalled for so long as we pay union
wagea and better. We will not submit to
any one dictating to us who wa shall em
