STANDARD OIL COMPANY ' (Inooraoratedi ONE-MAN RULE NEARS END Conditions Seem to Point to Division of Power on Union Pacific. OBJECfT TO RESTORE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE sHroBa; Men, It la Reported, Are to Added to the RxeentlTe Com mittee aind Share the v Responsibility. To change the Union Pacific from a one man road to a road governed In (act by several of the more prominent men In rail road and financial circles la Bald to be the probuble plan of E. II. Harrlman, the "one man" himself. This change 'la to he brought about be cause of the development In the affaire of the t'nlon PacMc during the last six months, or rather from the time of the declaration of the August dividend to the time of the Interstate Commerce Investi gation, or hearing. This opinion Is aald to be shared by Influential and powerful bank ing Interests In both this country and Europe. Hy this la not mennt that Mr. Harrlman Is to be deposed or that he will resign nor Is It thought he Is entirely nut of sympathy with the move or with the conviction that the systetn Is too extensive and too much In the public eye to be a one man line. It Is seen to be desirable from every point of view that the responsibilities for such of lts"'cts" as' afYh'et 'the- people' generally i be divided among us many strong men as possible. This will be accomplished by strenRthenlnt! the executive committee of the t'nlon Pacific. No doubt Is expressed but that to the present t'me Mr. Harrlman has been the dictator of the ftolon Pacific. With strong men on the noard of directors his prom inent associates have felt, apparently, that there was little reason to seriously oppose the wishes of the man who was able In a few short years to lift the road out of bankruptcy Into the ranks of the leading roads of this or any other country. Power Comes with Sneeess. His Success In bettering the physical con dition of the road so rapidly brought Mr, Harrlman Into a position of absolute power, such as has never been possessed In an other railroad administration. Although his associates were most of them better known and far wealthier than he, the swift work and glamor of his success brought n ready second from them In his most nm hltlous plans, even though at trus'tlme they doubted the wisdom of the course. Most of the plans which are now being carried out are Mr. Harrlman's own, and It was his own project to strive to control great roads, east and west, even after the Northern Securities decision had made most men cautious. Also In the case of the huge dividend declarations on the t'nlon Pacific and Southern Pacific last August the directors did little more than formally approve the move, a fact which he prac tically admitted on the witness stand when he said It was ths directors' fault If they did not know what wns coming, a he hud Intimated It to them. Since the declaration of that dividend and up to the time of the commission's hearing It has been made plain to Wall street and Europe, and probably to the fnlon Pacific dlrectora, even Mr. Harrlman himself, who auld as much recently In an Interview, that his policy had had a bud effect upon the minds of the people. Cine of two plana prohably will be carried out. Either a new directory will be elected which will be more actlvnly associated In handling the affairs of the t'nlon Pacific or a larger directory will be chosen with mors men who can give their time to direct ing the affairs of the road. rreaent Kieeotlie Board. The Union Pacific's executive committee consists of Mr. Harrlman, Henry C. Frlck, Marvin Hughltt, Eobert S. Lovett and Jumea StIUman. This committee, which Is presumed to rule, with Mr. Harrlman, the whole system, Is no lonuer considered ade quate. Mr. Hughitt Is the president of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, with his office in Chicago, and Mr. Stillman has been compelled by poor health to spend almost all of the last two years In Europe, This reduces the working body to Mr. Har. NEW TORK. April 14. Democratic eo cietlea and club In all part or Greater New York tonight celebrated "Jefferson day. The Democratic club hold Its annual ban quet at ths Waldorf-Astoria, the Woman's Democratic club of the city met at ths Hoffman house, the Independent league had aa Its truest William Randolph Hearst. Attorney General Jackson and John Tem ple Graves. There waa some discussion at the Demo cratic club dinner over the fact that Wil liam J. Bryan was not present nor had he sent regrets. It waa said by several per sons that the dinner oemmtttee had de cided to Invite Mr. Bryan, but had ap pointed a subcommittee to attend to the In vitations. This committee. It was said, had not forwarded an Invitation. There are two known parties In the club, one favor ing Mr. Bryan and the second opposing him. The principal speaker at the Democrat lo club's banquet was Senator IsldVr Rayner of Maryland. Ha responded to ths toast. "What Bhould Be the Proper Policy of the Democratic Party, and What Is True De mocracy?" He was listened to Intently by several hundred guests. Much of his speech waa devoted to an attack on the proposi tion for government ownership of railroad Harvey Attacks Bryan. Colonel George B. M. Harvey, In the course of an address, denounced those dem ocrats "who eat the crumbs of patronage from the hand that smote them, and lick the boot whose Impact they have felt." He referred also to the "peerless leader" who "hobbles like a cripple In the wake of his successful rival, gathering aa he goes the few scraps that are left of his own falla cies." The speaker ridiculed democrats and republicans who denounce Roosevelt In pri vate, but are too cowardly, he said, to voice their opinions publicity. He said the president's policy had already caused the abandonment of large com mercial undertakings that everyone that kind o' gray!

Mr. Prick Is one of the best known figures of finance today, but one man of this char acter, it Is contended, Is not enough to make with Mr. Harrlman, the chairman, an acceptable executive committee.

One of the most annoying and curious phenomena connected with the work of a telegraph operator never la voluntarily mentioned by the older men In the service. If one of them Is asked about It he will look bored, possibly a little scared, and will pooh-pooh or make vlgoroua denial, according to his own particular mood and temperament. But If you can find your way Into hla Inner confidence he will tell you, with lowered voice and mysterious mien, of the haunting song of the wires. The hallucination, If that Is what It really Is, doubtless has a nervous origin. The man who sits for eight or ten hours a day before a "sounder" and listens to the cease, less ellck-cllck-cllckety-cllckety-cllck of the countless messages that flash and click their way to him and past him from the four corners of the earth may be pardoned If the monotony of It gets on his nerves after a while. And when It does get on his nerves there Is no telling just what form his hallucination may take, nor to what extent It may carry him. But there Is one thing about the teleg rapher's peculiar hallucination, If hallu cination It Is, which wears ths color of reasonableness. It is the fact that thous ands of operators are affected In the same way, and that the hallucination, or nervous disorder, or whatever It may be, never attacks one who haa not served many years In the profession. To tho outsider or to the novice there ab solutely Is no lmprr4i!on of rhythm con veyed by the broken clicking of the tele graph sounder. It Is hard to Imagine any thing less subject to the laws of stated and recurrent abb and flow than the staccato, Jerky, Irregularly Interrupted clicking of the telegrapher's Instrument. And ths statement that the constantly varying se quence of dots and dashes necessary to "send" the uncounted messages that hiss snd whii across the wires day after day can hold any stated , regularity of recur rence Is enough to send the listener Into a splutter of skepticism and ridicule. Yet that Is the firm conviction of thousands of experienced operators, who have spent their working lives at the sounder and who are men of good sense and Integrity. Sometimes this sense of rhythm suggests some particular melody, and In such ctses with !. TimiinUTC flC CDDIWfi a song by a Dutch chorus. "The l,euk in Rl UUMINU IHUUUniO wr Ol iimiu the Dyke" was recited by May Roe, with an accompaniment by hid 1 til Hlirum. An original iulcli story was told by Marie Bluten.

At a meeting of the Cadet Ottlcers' club George Uiiiham, captain of Company D, was elected senior captain. , In the Hawthorne society the program waa on "Domestic Science.

He goaed vacantly at the fresh, new looking sunlight bathing the walla of ih. hniMinea over the way. Ths office wln- dlepatch was deciphered It was sent to the State department, and there followed a long conference between Assistant Secre tary Baron and Minister Corea of Nica ragua, Information had been received previously from Phillip Brown, secretary of ths t'nlted Statea legation at Guate mala, who has been negotlstlng between Nicaragua and Salvador, and who Anally secured the consent of President Flguera to meet President Zelaya. This dispatch left rather a haiy Impression as to the representation Honduras Is to have at the conference. Commander Doyle made It clear that General Sierra of ths Honduras provisional government Is to be command ant of Amalapa. The conference between Presidents Zelaya and Flguera will take place at Amalapa or on board a United States gunboat to be anchored at Amalapa. The fact that a Honfluran general who was not only a revolutionist, but one of the candidates of the revolutionists for the presidency sgalnst Bonllla, Is to be In com mand at Amapala during the conference Is regarded here as at least a partlol recognition of the provisional government. If this proves true, settlement of the dis pute. It Is expected,' will be easily com pleted. When the Doyle dispatch was sent Amapala had not yet completed its sur render. Commander Doyle estimated that It would require about four days to accom plish It. The Salvadorean troops In Amapala, It had been agreed, should embark for La t'nlon, Salvador, taking with them all officers, private property and side arms. Bonllla to Go Abroad. President Bonllla had not yet reached the Chicago when Commander Doyle sent his dispatch, but It waa stated that the president waa expected and that he would be taken to eome port outside of Central America. President Zelaya demanded that Bonllla be not permitted to land In Salvador for fear that he would organlxe a forou against Nicaragua and continue the fight ing. It waa said further that arrangements are now being made for the election of a con stitutional president In Honduras. The State department today received a dispatch from United States Consul Philip Brown at La Union, Honduras, saying a peace conference would be held at the port of Amapala between President Zelaya of Nicaragua and President Flguera of Salva dor Immediately upon ths surrender of Amapala, which at the time the dispatch was filed was expected momentarily. The two presidents will meet In person and en deavor to reach a settlement of the diffi culties which Involved Nicaragua and Hon duras In war and caused Salvador to be come the ally of the latter. The Nlcaraguan government dsmanda that the Salvadoreans recognize ths pro- Jt peculiarly Is aggravating.

This man told, years after. he had gone Into the mercantile business and carved out a large rrerisure of success In his new calling, that for the last two yeara of his career as a telegraph operator he never worked over Ave consecutive minutes without dis tinctly hearing the well known notes or the popular Sunday school song humming and butting from his sounder as the mes sages clicked themselves along. No mstter how fast or how slow the sender might work; no matter how grave or how sad, how send hie or how silly the message might be; no matter what the conditions of weather or temperature; no matter what might be his own mood clicking along the wires as an accompani ment to the words he was receiving he dis- zgcrald: that of Sir Anthony by Sara Ayers. and that of Lydia Languish by On Wednesday the base ball team chose for Its captain John MacNamara.
