ARRANGEMENT S COMPLIT ED
Only Thing That Now Remains is Appoint
ment of Executive Officers by the
Ruck Island
One of the most Important events In
the railroad history of Texas Is • onfl-
4 en ti y expected to occur within the
next few days.
Before many duys—probably less than
two weeks—the Rock Island will as-
sume the complete management of the
Houston and Texas Central, and the
much talked of, long discussed Central-
Rock Island deal will be an accompllsh-
Jd fact.
Just how soon this Important change
will be made It Is Impossible to say,
but It Is hinted that the Hock Island
•nan aire ment will In all probability be-
gin July 1. about ten days hence.
When Judge s. It. Lovett returned
from New York several days ago It
was announced for the first time In
the Post that, as far as the deal was
concerned, the Central-Rock Island
deal had been closed. The only thing
remaining under the agreement, there-
fore. Is the appointment of executive
officers by the Rock Island.
It Is generally understood that the
appointment, or rather the election, of
Rock Island executive officers will ne-
fur In a few days. It Is reported that
the board of directors of the Central
will shortly hold a meeting to conduct
the election. President H. R. Lovett.
who has been the acting president of
the road for several months, will re-
sign. Ii Is also hinted that Vice Presi-
dent C. H. Markham will resign from
the position which he holds with the
Central and continue with the South-
ern Pacific. When these resignations
have been received the election o/
Rock Island officials will immediately
follow.
It Is generally believed that the
president of the Rock Island system,
at present W. B. I<eeds, will become
the president of the Central. It seems
Quite natural to assume that such will
be the case.
The election of a vice president,
ha wurer, gives an opportunity for
^dilation. In the first Instance, It
Is by no means certain that Mr. Mark-
ham will resign, but In spite of the
fact that no definite Information Is
obtainable, the general Impression pre-
vails that the election of both the
executive officers forms a part of the
demands of the Rock ishind.
In the event of the resignation of
Mr. Markham. It seems certain that
the jurisdiction of Jeff N. Miller, the
manager of the Central, will be extend-
ed to the vice presidency. It Is evi-
dently the Intention of the Rock Islnnd.
In the event of Its assumption of the
control, to pursue the same aggressive
and energetic policy which has made
the Central what It Is today under the
management of Mr. Miller. The envi-
able reputation which Mr. Miller has
among railroad men generally, togeth-
er with his practical knowledge of
railroads In every department of rail-
road activity, makes him the logical
candidate for the position. While
there has been no official expression
on the subject, the election of Jeff N.
Miller to the position of vice president
and general manager of the Central
under the Rock Island supremacy Is
confidentially expected
While no Information has been giv-
en out to the effect that Vice Presi-
dent Markham will resign, it Is believ-
ed that his resignation will follow, in
order to give to the Rock Island the
complete management and operation
of the Central. Aroordln* to the agree-
ment. the Rock Island Is to have full
control of the read and the Southern
Pacific is simply to retain 60 per cent,
of the stock. Inasmuch as Vice Presi-
dent Markham Is the executive hexa
of the Southern Pacific lines in Texas.
It Is not regarded as probable that he
will also aot as the executive head of
the Rock Island In 1>xas. His reslg
nation becomes necessary in order to
give to the Rock Island the full con-
trol of the road, which Is part of the
agreement.
When the Rock Island officials are
elected It I expected that the first
thing to be done will be to Issue olr-
oulara making permanent the appoint-
ment of the present "acting" officials.
There is. of course, a possibility that
other appointments may be made, bat
It Is sot considered probable. When
the present acting officials were ap-
polnted they were given no complete
assurance that their positions would
be permanent. They wer# ie^l. hdtr-
ever, tliat their permanent appointment
might be ^peeted. It seems natural
to 4ium« that inasmuch as a change
of afiy soft would result disastrously
to Rftok Island Interests, no changes in
the appointive personnel of officials
will octur.
In the recent decision of the rail-
road commission In regard io the Cen-
tral-Rock Island trackage contracts.
ent line and develop certnln section
of the state which are at present with-
out railroad facilities of any sort. The
fact Is apparent, however, that anv at-
tempt on the part of the commission
to compel a railroad to spend Its mon-
ey will result unfavorably. The Rock
Island has determined not to respect
the wishes of the commission In this
regard and *o proceed with lt> first
Intention without attention to such
opinions. TV wishes of the commis-
sion are nc* to be respected in refer-
ence to lb# stock deal. Whether or
nol the trackage contracts will he en-
tered Into fegnnlless of the contrary
declHlon, remains to be seen. It Is
hardly probable, however, that any ac-
tion of which the commission can le-
gally disapprove wil be t.akeiv.
On the ofher hand there appears to
be absolutely nc oj-portunity for un-
favorable set Ion by the commission
In the case of 'he stock deal. There
Is no state fa* which sny
road sto<;k must be owned In th
state, nor does the law compel the
residence of the president In th" state.
The matter of the purchase of any por-
tion of the stock of a railroad II
tlreljr within the disposition of the one
party to buy and the other to sel
the present case, the action of thi
parties to the contract has been en-
tirely within the nlcety\ f legnl bounds,
and it Is evident that no opportunity
h>ia been left for any destructive ac-
tion by the commission.
J ant when the above mentioned Im-
portant change will occur Is not an-
nounced, but those who know state
that something "will happen" in a verv
few days. The opinion has been ex-
pressed that the appointments de-
pendent upon the consolidation have
been "cut and dried," so to speak, ever
since the preliminary step of fthe sep-
aration of the Central from the South-
ern Pacific occurred. While there
was no official announcement to the
effect that the deal had been finally
closed until nfter Judge T^ovett had re-
turned from New York. It seems cer-
tnin that matters have been pretty
well adjusted for several weeks
The conditions mentioned above ap-
ply In their entirety to the Houston,
Bust and West Texas.
The status of the new Dallas exten-
sion of the Texas nnd New Orleans In
the deal Is by no means clear. It Is a
known fact, however, that ope of the
conditions under which the Rock Is-
land was able to obthtn control of the
Central wns that the Dallas extension
occupy an anslagous position In the
deal. Te question of the legnl possi-
bility of the operation of both the Cen-
tral and the Pallas extension by the
Reck Islnnd. when In the case of the
Southern Pacific the same condition
was pronounced Illegal, Is at the pres-
ent time arousing much curious specu-
lation. It Is maintained by the offi-
cials, however, that with the Texas and
New Orleans between Houston and
Beaumont eliminated, the two lines hre
no longer competing lines, and that
their operation by the same company Is
entirely within leitn.1 bounds.
Tn spite of this fact, It Is not be-
lieved that the Rock Island will ope-
rate the new extension. In connection
With this belief. It is hinted that the
Frisco as a part of the great Rock Is-
land system, may be given control of
the Dallas extension, and thus obtain
with a scrntch of the pen. so to speak,
the coveted goal In the Klrby Lumber
company's holdings near Beaumont.
The reported Texas Midland deal
would give the Frisco direct connec-
tion from Paris to Kaufman with the
Dallas extension and a direct through
line to the gulf.
At all events, some Interesting de-
velopments are expected when the
Rock Island assumes control of the
Central-East and West Texas consoli-
dation.—Houston Post.
grand Juiy again yesterday, is said
hsve confessed to Circuit Attorne;
Folk that he received frori the Presi-
dent of the American tobacco company
$750 to be used as a personal camp*
fund.

Ai the time Mr. Lee
money there was pending before tin
legislature a cigarette bill in which the
company was very much Interested
Mr. Lee was very active In using hln
Influence in opposition to the blJI, and
It was defeated.
Mr. Lee also confessed that he receiv-
ed 11,000 from the sugar trust. The
money was paid to him. he said, to
write certain articles about sugar,
'I here was pending at the time «i candy
bill In which the sugar trust wan very
much Interested. Mr Lev Is said to
have taken up the cause of the sugar
trust and used his Influence on Its
side of the question.
The former lieutenant governor, It Is
said, told the grand Jury that he had
absolutely nothing further to reveal
about boodllng In connec tion with the
alum bill.
Richard B. Speed, formerly coal oil
Inspector of the city of St. Louis, now
editor of the Nevada (Mo.) Mail, con-
fessed to Circuit Attorney Folk yes-
terday that he paid $800 to Senator W.
F. Lyons of Kansas city In 1899 for his
VOte JUU' 'nfluenct "gainst the passage
nt r'dl* i a legislature providing
In I for ,l ro,1," tlon of the fees of the c oal
oil Inspector.
Mr. Speed was very much agitated
when he emerged from the room after
his Interview with the circuit attorney,
and his subsequent visit to the Jury.
The sweat was streaming from his
brow, nnd thai he had been under an
Intense nervous strain was clearly vis-
ible. Mr. Speed Is a close persoital
friend of Secretary of State Sam B.
Cook. He was appointed by Governor
Stephens.
Editor Speed, In his paper, ever since
the Investigation of state boodllng l e-
gnn, hits been strong In his condemna-
tion of boodlers and In praise of those
who are Instrumental In exposing
them.
He Ts thought to have urged the hu-
miliation that It would bring on him
as an excuse for not answering the
questions put to him.
Circuit Attorney Folk, however, was
already In possession of the story and
when he laid bare the facts before Mr.
Speed, he completiy broke down, nnd,
with tears streaming from his eyes,
said:
"Yes, I paid Mr. Lyons S800 for his
vote and Influence against the coal oil
inspector's bill. The transaction took
place at the Planter's hotel In this city
In 1899."
When Senator Lyons was before the
grand Jury In April he was questioned
about this deal but stood on hip
stltutlonal rights. He was afraid he
would Incriminate himself If he an
swersd any questions about the deal
INSURANCE MRN HEARD.
City Councilman George D. Mark-
ham, Henry W. Tlerney and Louis E.
Snow, local Insurance men, were wit-
nesses before the grand Jury yester-
day. They were all questioned about
the bribe soliciting of certain legisla-
tors In connection with Insurance leg-
islation.
The story of Mr Markham, who was
one of a oomlttee that went to Jefferson
City to lobby In the Interest of certain
Insurance measures, was exceedingly
Interesting to the Jury. Mr. Markham
Is thought to have reiterated a story,
told a few mornings ago. about the
bold front with which legislators ap-
proached men whom they supposed to
be lobbyists.
Markham'8 experience, although
It took place several years ago, left
a lasting Impression, It Is thought, as
he recalls all the details, and narrated
them with ease to the Jury.
The Insurance men were dazed at the
amounts the legislators demanded for
passing or killing certain measures,
left the capital In disgust. They were
not even safe after reaching home, but
were followed here by n t oodle agent,
appointed by the senate eombl
solicit a bribe. This man Insisted upon
selling the votes and Influence of those
he represented.

A Supposed Dead Man Objects to Severe
Restoratives
(By the Asso< latsd Press )
NEW YORK, June 24.—Pronounced
dead by three surgeons, his alleged as
sallants arrested and held in heavj
ball. Hinton Greenberg, 60 years old, of
No. 1414 Second avenue, was examin-
ed today by Coroner Jackson, while
laid out In the purlor of his home, and
to the amazement of every one sud-
denly sat up alive.
Coroner Jackson, after officially pro-
nouncing Greenberg alive, hurrie-l
back to the police station, reduced the
ball of the three prisoners, nnd charg-
ed them with assault instead of homi-
cide, while the grief of the Greenbeig
family was changed to rejoicing.
Greenberg visited the synagogue In
Sixty-seventh street last night. and
next went Into a restaurant at No. 1157
Third avenue. There, he says, he wan
f et upon by the proprietor of th« res-
taurant, Rarnard Morschend. and three
walters. Win. Lampkln, Joseph Fis-
cher and Herman Osterborn. He de-
clared that he was ejected from the
restaurant, after being badly beaten,
nnd fell on his head.
Two strangers picked Greenberg up
and took him to his home. He was
barely able to walk, but he told them
of |fie assault and gave the names of
th< fa«n he accused of beating htm
Wlifn he got to his home he coUnpsed
and threo doctors ware sent for.
"Your father is dead,'1 Gresnberg's
son quotas them as saying, after the
examination.

ticed a peculiar color in the supposed
dead man's face, and when ho lifted

ONI Y MINISTFR 0* SlATE
How an Impertinent Clerk Received llis
Dismissal
(By the Associated Press.)
RERUN. June 24.—The minister of
PUblU works. Hudde, is an early riser,
and delights in surprising his subor-
dinates. The other morning he saun-
tered Into the office of the chief clerk
of the state railway Administration at
o'clock sharp, when business ought
to open there, according to regulations.
He waited twenty-five minutes and not
a soul showed up. JTInalty a young sec-
retary entered, took his place at one
of the windows tMd began reading a
nc wspaper. The minister, assuming the
atltude of an ordinary citizen, asked
the clerk politely to show him certain
public records.
"You might have the decency to wait
11 I get through with my paper,"
snapped the clerk.
How long will that be?" humbly
Inquired the minister.
"If you don't bother me, 10 or 15 min-
utes."
But I don't propose to waste 10 or
minutes to see you read u news-
paper." said Rudder
You don't eh?" queried the clerk ;
contemptuously. "Can't wait? Well,
you have to " He again turned to his
paper, but looking up after a while In-
quired with a sneer: "Who are you
anyhow?"
"They call me His Excellency, the
Minister of Public Works. I)r. Hudde.
and assuming that I nm that person. I
now ask you to vacate that seat and
nslder yourself discharged." At th
moment the
entlng the other
stand at the suppose
Bin stands of sharing the fate of King
Alexander of Servla and of his own
ancestor. Czar Paul, who was murdered
more than a century ago.
An even more startling report than
that of the atempted assassination Is
contained In the leading review, Die
Nation, to-day, and Is to the effect that
members of the Russian Imperial fam-
ily look wttKh equanimity upon the
ruler's danger.
The review says: "There are mem-
bers of the Russian Imperial family
who regard the czar's weakness of char
octet as the most threatening danger to
Russia Some say that the czarina
shares In this view. The malcontents
may deein It patriotic to murder the
csar In his own palace."
The attempt upon the life of the
szar was made at Tmrkoe Helo on the
eve of the departure of the court for
the Imperial villa at New PeterhofT
The would-be assassin attempted to
gnln admltance to the presence of the
czar dressed In the uniform of a supe-
rior officer of the gendarmerie. An
efTort wns made to hush up the affair,
because of the highly nervous condi-
tion of the czar since the Belgrade royal
massacre. Nothing has yet been made
public, howewver, as to the identity
of the would-be assassin.
The most amaslng report yet receiv-
ed. however, is that the czarina shares
In the general condemnation of her
husband's weakness, and would view
without great regret his assassination.
The amiability of the czarina's char-
acter haa long been known In Europe,
and the report Is not generally cred-
ited.
Apparently the attempt on the czar's
life has been kept a profound secret
from Nicholas himself.

and the Interior department.

closures. More resignations would
have been forthcoming If the officers of

mit to expulsion rather than permit
the cases to be settled arbitrarily.
