Harriman in the Federal sdit against the Northern Pacific-Great | Northern plan was made public to-day. Harriman testified at a hearing Harriman and the attorneys interested. The witness, replying to questions, said that it was true that on or prior to May 9. 1901, he had acquired stock in the Northern Pacific Railway Company amounting to the par value of $78,000,000. Later negotiations were closed, and it was understood that the Harriman inter- ests were to take stock in a company to which the Northern Pacific stock was to be transferred. It was near the end of the negotiations, Harriman said, that J. P. Morgan & Co. offered to pay for the Northern Pacific shares, part in the stock of a holding company and part in cash. ‘When the Northern Pacific stock was bought Harriman and his friends thought that they had acquired a controlling in- terest in the Northern Pacific, and they held to this bellef up to November 13, 1901, when action was taken looking to the retirement of the Northern Pacific preferred. The possible retirement of these preferred shares, ‘Harriman said, was one of the inducements that led him | and his assoclates to surrender their stocks. They finally agreed to -turn in thelr Northern Pacific stock at $115 a share. The price for Great Northern was fixed at $180: Harriman declared that he was not consulted about the forma- tion of the holding company. “You made no inquiries as to where the corporation was to be formed or the amount of its capital stock?” Harriman was asked. \ “I knew, of course, the amount of the capital stock,” replied the witness, “but I did not go into the particulars of the formation of the company at all. That may seem strange, but in the enormous transactions we have down here we simi- ply have faith that the man who is do- ing the thing is doing it properly, or else we don’t negotiate or trade with him.” “Did you finally consent to surrender | your holdings on the basis you did be- cause you had made up gour mind they ! would carry out the defermination you had heard expressed—to retire the pre- | ferred stock and thus take away from you the controlling interest in the stock | of the Northern Pacific?” “T think I recollect pretty clearly that . from our standpoint we thought it was better for us to accept that price for our stock than to go into a legal con- “And you thought that if you did not | do that you would have a legal contest or the question?” “Well, we took it for granted, natural- 1y, action having been taken determining to retire the preferred stock.” e LOS ANGBLES, Dec. 2.—FEffic Russell, a young woman from Denver, died in the Re- celving Hospltal to-day trom the effects of car- bol ‘&‘,: acid, taken last evening. with suicidal in- _tent ES S | are making the fight of their lives fto get ! chief clerk, and an. indictment against J. | the Territory is seriously ill. 1ast | that he will be able, during the comin week, at which there were present only L, ~vol war game, to seize without msgfi sgainst Cuba and the American coast. | G —— e ' D | STORM WHIRLS IROOND LS Bluejacketsof the Oregon Save Six Japanese at Hawaii, AN Governor Dole Starts Inves. i- gation of All the De- partments.

Four messages were received from the Governor on the day.of organi- zation, two of them dealing with the gen- eral situation and the others relating to the departments of the Auditor and the Supérintendent of Public Works and call- ing for. the removal of Auditor Austin anfi Superintendent Boyd. - Governor Dole related at length the events leading up to the suspension of both Boyd and Austin and gave to the Senate all the correspondence he had with both officials before he suspended them. In a general message he suggested a Sen- atorjal investigation of all the depart- ments of the Government and the Senate has appointed committees to carry out the suggestion. @ sieimirimiieieleieiimeieleleie il @ THS PREPIRE FOR WAR GAME UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP IOWA, PCRT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad, Dec. 2.—Despite the superiority of Ad- miral Higginson’s squadron over that of Admiral Sumner, the latter is confident ter the port to form a base of operations As a result of the conferences between Admirals Sumner and Crowninshield and the commanding officers of the vessels under their command, most of whom have taken part in the Naval War College war games, with the Caribbean Sea as the scene of operations, a plan has been adopted which, it is asserted by ‘those who know, is practically certain of suc- cess. The problems presented required Ad- miral Sumner to fortify a port with mines and guns, to do which he is allowed six hours. Should Admiral Higginson appear with a superior force before the expira- tion of that time Admiral Sumner will be considered defeated. To. determine the strength of the opposing squadrons the department has given the battleship the value of twenty points, a heavily protect- ed cruiser eight points, a small protect- ed cruiser five points, a gunboat three points and a torpedo boat or tender one point edch. It is estimated that Admiral Higginson has 12 points and Admiral Sumner sixty-six points. If the estimate is correct it is claimed it would be folly for Admiral Higginson to divide his bat- tleship squadron, numbering eighty points, and that they must act together, s0 that on hearing of the arrival of Ad- miral Sumner’s squadron he can hasten to_attack it. Some officers believe Admiral Higginson will separate his battleships into two"di- visions and form a division of fast cruis- ers, which will hold the balance of pow- er and reinforce the battleships. It is believed here that Admiral Higginson has arranged with the United States Con- suls and weather observers in the West The Newest Fad “CARTOONS IN COLOR” Twelve Beautiful Art Supple- ments WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER ¢ ‘| miral Higginson, Admiral Free to CALL Daily Readers.

G. Irwin, at Washington and Laguna streets, was the scene of a pretty dinner dance last evening in honor of Miss Edith Huntington. It was a white din- ner.

Bryan, at 2422 Buchanan street, was thronged with guests - yesterday afternoon, the event being. a tea in honmor of Mrs. Charles Dunphy (nee Burns), who has re- cently returned from her European wed- dirg trip. Several hundred guests were recelved during the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock and there was a crush of ex- quisitely gowned women and debutantes. The decorations were lavish and artistic. One drawing-room was in violets, another in yellow chrysanthemums and the re- fréshment room in American Beauty roses, all interspersed with follage. Red berries and follage decorated the hall and the den on the lower floor. A string or- chestra was in attendance. A dinner dance followed for forty guests in the evening including the recelving party and an equal number of gentlemen. The hostess added much to the enjoyment of the guests by a charming cordiality of manner which has already won her 30 many friends.

A large number of guests werg preasantly enter- ined. m’l‘r;mae who assisted in receiving were Miss Flood, Miss McKinstry, Mrs. James @ il e @ Indies to report the appearance of Ad- miral Sumner's vessels and has made telephonic_and telegraphic arrangements in Porto Rico, so that if a port of that jsland is attacked he will be immediately advised. The distance from Trinidad to the near- est base is 570 miles in a straight line and 700 miles by the outside course. Leaving Trinidad on Friday morning, Admiral Sumner cannot possibly reach his des- tination before Sunday morning and he | may proceed slowly and arrive Monday, amdy even later. All the lights will be out at night except a red lamp aft to serve as a guide for the vessel following. It is permissible to holst neutral colors in or- der to deceive the scouts of Admiral Hig- ginson’s squadron. Admiral Sumner ' is aliowed to drop his slow ships, though he sacrifices points by so doing, and as his squadron is inferior to that of Ad- Sumner ‘will possibly prefer to hold his vessels to- gether as long as possible and be pre- pared to detach them on any attempt be- ing made to entice them away on Ad- miral Higginson's scouts sighting him. The squadron is constantly engaged in target practice, in order to make a rec- ord off Culebra Island. The Iowa will have finished coaling to-morrow and then the squadron will be ready to sail. e—e ————— Eugene Bowlers Challenged.

He told me he lived in- the Falmer House. I accompanied him to the Rhouse, but the landlord told' me Hughes did not live there. We went downstairs again, and when we reached the bettom Hughes struck me in the face. I drew my club to protect myself. Hughes took from me and beat me over the head with it. He beat meé se- verely.

He sald: “I met Gillen in front of a saloon on Pacific street. He was drunk and I tried to humor him. He ordered me to go home. I said I lived in the Palmer House. Gillen went these with me, but I could not get a room. Gillen walked to the front of the stairs with me and then suddenly struck me with his fist. I struck back and he pulled his club. I took it away from him and struck him with it. He then pulled his pistol and fired three times.”” Gillen was badly beaten about the head, but his injuries are not serious.
