ROCK ISLAND CASE ADJUSTED Will Not Build Pacific Censt Ex from Bl Paso. ADJUSTS MATTERS WITH STUBBS FACTION Fature Relations with South. Pa- eific Settled by a Parity with Late ter Connecting Lines. -~ CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—All doubt regarding the attitude of the Southern Pacific toward | the Rock Island on account of the latter's | El Paso extension was removed today, when | traMc relations were entered into by the trafc men representing both companies To the Rock Island officials at least the solution of the problem is highly gratify- ing and to it may be ascribed the declara- tlon made by Chalrman Cable, who sald “We have no intention of bullding from El Paso to the Pacific coast and unless conditions change 1 soe no reason for our changing our position in the matter." The future relations between the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island were settled in a conference held between Judge Stubbs, trafc director for the Harriman lines, and J. M. Johnson, freight traffic manager for the Rock Island. These offictals were not long In arriving at an agreement, which is to the effect that the Southern Pacific will place the Rock Island on a_parity with the Southern Pacific connections as soon as the El Paso extension 1& opened for traffic. This arrangement 18 of a rectprocal char- acter. The Rock Island will dellver all its southern California trafic to the Southern Pacific at El Paso and the Southern Pacific | agroes to treat tho Rock Island exactly the same as it treats other connections. This can mean nothing else than w fair division of trafic in return COURT HEARS ARGUMENT Wolf Bros. and Others Try to Enjoin Northern Pacific from ying Out Reorganization Plan, NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Argument was heard by Justice Scott in the supreme court | today on the application of Wolf Bros. & Co. and other plaintifts to enjoin the North- ern Pacific Rallway company from carrying out a plan of reorganization adopted ln No- vember to retire Its preferred stock of $75,000,000. The preferred stockholders of the company clalm that they are excluded from purchasing certaln bonds which priv- tlege they allege is glven to the owners of the common stock. Counsel for the plaintiffs alleged that the contemplated retirement of the preferred stock was part of a scheme entered into between the directors and the holders of the largest part of common stock to subserve their private purposes by making large financial profits on the common stock and by giving the present holders thereof the control and management of the company. This, it was alleged, was in violation of the duties and the trust imposed upon the directors and was to the Injury and detri- ment of the preferred stockholders, and especially the plaintifts. In opposing the motion, Francls L. Stetson told how the plan of reorganization was adopted. He sald the consent of all tho stockholders to the plan bad been obtained and that that took out of the case any questions as to lack of equity. Thus he argued, it confined counsel for plaintiffs to the clalm that the action of the board of directors was illegal Mr. Stetson detlared that the contract was clearly legal. Justice Scott instructed counsel on each #lde to submit briefs tomorrow at the latest because the case was too important to per- mit of any delay. He sald that he would hand down a declsion soon.

Over | 80 per cent of the manufacturing plants of the United States were represented. The principal tople discussed was the high price of broom corn.

The murderer made his escape, and, although the whole detective and police force of that section was called, the man has not been captured Miss Murphy was the only sister of Select Councilman John A. Murphy’ from the Twen tleth ward and was 30 years old. She, w her brother and two servants, women, lived alone in the house Miss Murphy was sleeping on the second floor. She was an expert with the revolver having practiced many years for the pur pose of protecting herself in the event of Just such an attack as happened thie morn- ing and she always had a platol efther under her pillow or within easy reach. About 3 o'clock this morning her brother was awakened by two shots in the house. and, hastening to his sister's roon, found her lying dead on the floor with a bullet wound in the head. The burglar was porch climber. He scaled the porch posts and entered the window of Miss Murphy room by breaking the glass. It Is sup- posed that the noise of the crashing glass p society House was a [ awakened her and as she jumped from the bed with revolver Marks in the snow dicato that only Miss Murphy usually kept the collections for the Kingsley House fund in her they reachied a sum large enough be placed in the bank and it is thought the burglar was after this money When the police raised Miss Murphy they found the revolver within a few inches of her right hand under the folds of her dress. The falling of Miss Murphy's in on hand the the man fired porch root in room until to body 1s be- fore he anything mad was bad time to think about stealing A careful investigation was of the room and not a thing of value misging. The police are inclined to think the burglar was a negro and at noon claimed to have a good clue. Ale Developments tonight in the cese deepen the afr of mystery shrouding it. At the preliminary coroner's inquest it was shown that two bullets were missing from Murphy's revolver. One was accounted for by tracing It to the windowledge where it lodged No trace of the other has been found. Mizs Murpby's physician says his patient has not slept for fifteen nights, and the physiclan who cxamined the wound said the halr around the wound in the head was scorched, showing the shot was fired ot close range. Bloody tracks outside in the show, sup- posed to have been made by the murderer, are shown to have been made by officers who arrived early on the scene, and having been in the room tracked blood outside dur- ing thelr investigation. While many are in- clined to believe it a case of suicide while temporarily deranged through insomnia the police authorities will make no statement and the friends of the family are positive this theory is wrong.
