    THE HLK: OMAHA. MONDAY, JULY 12, 1009.
Into tbe Wilson bill evry rste f a pn
eral character. In all except thou dictated
by political exigencies.
I'ava on Pnatp mil.
His viewpoint In not shared In by Rpp
reeentstlve Payne, who nid tonight that
the rates of th houn bill, i'l !H from
the standpoint of the Interest of the. gen
eral public, are materially lower than those
of the Senate bill.
Mr. I'ayne polntod out that MiVs. tallow,
Iron ore. licorice extracts and nth"V articles
of (Treat Importance to the Consuinlmr
public were tranxfetred to. the dutiable I'M
by the senate,, while Mllaator skins,
radium,'' oertaln splree, olo-stearln and
miners Safely appliances' were the moet
Important articles placed on the free Hat
by the aenate.
Mr. Payne declined to Uruss at this
time the relative merits of the sepnra'.e
provisions of Jhe bills.
"It la unfair 'to compare the two hills
by figuring- the average advalorem rates
of each." said Mr. Payne. "Many reduc
tions were made by trje houco on articles
where the Dlngley rates were practically
prohibitory, and on theee articles the ad
valorem method of comparison would hot
appear ' to the advantage of the house
measure. The only way to compare the
bills Is to consider what each house did
with the Important Items."
Changes In Senate fllll.
Members of the house tonight called at
tention to the fact that coal, wire nails
scrap Iron, shoes and leather, cotton and
wool manufactures, petroleum, potatoes,
rough lumber, lead paints, structural Iron,
cutlery, sine bullion, pig lead and other
articles of general consumption were In
creased over the house rates, while dresiied
lumber, gloves, hosiery and certain Iron
and steel products Would be the principal
senate reductions of Interest to the public.
The conferees hope to conclude their
work by the end of next week, holding
lengthy sessions dally. In the meantime
both houses will mark time, holding ses
sions every three days. hTe house will
meet Monday and the senate Tuesday, but
having no business to transact will adjourn
Immediately. ' Leaders In both houses are
expecting to dispose of the tariff before
the end of the present month.

pfaoe on the Board of Regents of the Stats
university revlvsd talk of eandldates for

tion has gh-eedy endorsed the candidacy
of Regents .Allen and Whltmore. Tom
Allen, chairman of the demooratle atate
committee, Is president of that associa
tion, and Is supposed to boost the candi
dacy of these two republicans.
Hhould the supreme court declare un
constitutional the nonpartisan Judiciary
law, then the candidates for regents will
be nominated at a primary election and
Newbrhnch will have to submit his name
as a democratic candidate.
Both Charles Knapp of this city and
Dan Stephens of Fremont, democrats, were
candidates for the place given to New
branch, and It Is possible their friends
may file their names at the primaryIf
there la one. , ,
Such a procedure would put Mr. Allen
up against the proposition of choosing be
tween the candidates endorsed by his
alumni and the two demooratlo . candl
dates.
Two results will follow the sppolntment
of N'ewbranch, It Is said by those who
presume to know; first. that he will now
quit his captious criticism of Governor
Shallenberger, and second, be may decide
that he may change the tune of the

Auburn Man
Dies of Wounds
P. D. Ailor, Who Was Shot Saturday
Night, Mistaken for Race Fol
lower with "Big Roll.
AUPt'RN. Neb., July 11. i Special Tele
gram.) P. D Allor, the real estate man.
who was shot five times by two holdup
men late Saturday night, died of his
wounds at T o'clock this morning. It Is
now believed that Allor was mistaken by
the bandits for a racetrack follower named
Brown, whom he greatly resembled In per
sonal appearance.- Brown Is said to have
won IL200 on the races Saturday, and It
Is thought that the robbers were looking
for him. There have been no arrests and
the officers are without, a clue as to their
Identity.
It appears that Mr. Allor was on his
way to the north part of town to see a
party on a matter of business. The trees
were quite heavy along the walk, and
while passing through a dark place In front
of C. A. Jones' residence, two men ordered
Mr. Allor to put up his hands. He refused
and one of the robbers then fired a shot
In the air. Mr. Allor then struck at the
robber who had fired the shot, and the
other shot him four times, three of the
shots taking effect In the abdomen and
the fourth In the lungs, above the heart,
any one of which would have proved fatal.
All nearby towns were notified at once,
as well as all country lines. The only de
scription the officers have to work on Is
that they had the appearance, to Mr. Allor
In the dark, of being young men of medium
build, one a trifle taller than the other.
and aa It was very dark, and It Was there
fore very hard for Mr. Allor to distinguish
them clearly. After the shooting occurred
the robbers became frightened and fled
without searching their victim. Mr. Allot
leaves a wife and two children.

END OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Union Pacififl Preparing' to Take Orer
Full Control.

NEW YORK. July ll.-Pers!tant reports
continue to be heard In Wall street that
plans are under way for ths carrying out
of a comprehensive deal Involving the
absolute transfer of control of the Illinois
Central Railroad oompany to the Union
Faclflo Railroad oompany. In official
quarters knowledge of any such propo
sition Is dleolalmed. --ut the Idea finds
many believers In well Informed quarters.
Even those who assert positively that
some suoh deal will bo put through de-
olare that It will not bo consummated for
several months.
Thslr Idea Is that upon B. H. Hani-
man's return from Europe he will take up
the matter and carry It to a conclusion
before the end of the year.
Rumors that the Union rectflc would
lease the Illinois Central on a 10 per cent
guaranteed basis are generally accredited
In authoritative Quarters. Unofficial In
formation concerning the plana tinder way,
likewise, does not agree with the 10 per
cent guaranteed dividend theory.
Those professing to have knowledge of
the matter assert that details of the plan
for taking over the Illinois Central have
not been worked out, but that If It Is
eventually executed It will probably pro
vide for the exchange of collateral trust
bonds for stock of the Illinois Central, the
latter being taken over at a valuation of
say SOO per cent In bonds, whleh would
become a liability of the Union Paclflo
and be secured by the Illinois Central atook
as collateral. . i
Imitate Hill's Methods.
Such a proposition Would be very similar
to the deal by which the Burlington was
taken over by- the Great Northern and
Northern raclflo: Jointly.
The belief la entertained In some quar
ters that the reported plan for acquiring
tbe Illinois Central la but part of a very
comprehensive scheme In contemplation
which may eventually Involve several other
roads.
When the content for control of the
Illinois Central was on It was disclosed
that E. H. Harrlman and his assoolatea,
actually owned t per cent of the out
standing atook, and they succeeded In get
ting proxlen for sufficient additional to
swing control of the property.
The fact that the Illinois Central Is al
ready controlled by the Harrimen party has
led to a good deal of doubt as to the truth
of the current reports oonoeralng a pro
posed relinquishment - of that control. It
is said, however, that Mr. Harrlman wishes
to so arrange the Illinois Central situa
tion that control of the road oould not In
the future. In any way, bo obtained by
other Interests. Under the present arrange
ment. It Is conceivable that such might be
accomplished.
It Is said that his desire Is to place. If
possible, all the stock of the Illinois Cen
tral In the Union Paolflo's treasury. By
offering collateral trust bonds In exchange
for Illinois Central shares, It Is pointed out,
such a deal would not Involve the raising
of any additional money by the Union
Pacific. The earnings of the Illinois Cen
tral, It Is-believed, are such that thsy oould
easily take care of the Interest of such
collateral trust bonds as might be Issued.
Hnrahan Discredits Reports.
CHICAGO, July 11. t. T. Harahan, pre
sident of the Illinois Centra asserted In
Chicago last night that he had no know
ledge of a proposed merging of the Union
Paclflo, adding that he probably would have
known Immediately of the plans If any suoh
had been In contemplation. .
'Whatever rumors have become current
In that connection are unfounded, Mr.
Harahan said, "especially at this time with
Mr. Harrlman In Europe. To my knowledge
such a deal never haa been conaldsred and
I hardly think It is being considered now. I
cannot credit the reports. I should know
It any suoh plans were under advisement,
undoubtedly."
Julius Kruttschnitt, dtreotor of mainte
nance and construction of the Union Paci
fic, also asserted that ho had not heard
of any proposed merger. He declared, that
In his opinion the rumors were unfounded.
