In other sections of the world Deane

the son of Royal E. Deane, a millionaire
manufacturer of New York. • Until the
Boer war he was a major in the British
army. Later he represented a New York
paper as a war correspondent in China.
Then he was editor of a Philadelphia

years ago to regain his health on a Cali

Local Conference Anxiously
Watched by Officials of
All the Lines.
Th«' railroad world is awaitinr with
the keenest Interest the outcome of the
conference begun in this city yesterday
> between the officials of the Southern
Pacific Company and of the San Pedro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway,
relative to the demands of the Clark
people for trackage privileges over the
lines of the Southern Pacific in Cali
fornia, Freight Traffic Manager Sproule
of the Southern Pacific, acting for
Traffic Director Stubbs of the Harri
man lines, ha 6 already refused to make
the desired concession to the Salt Lake
road, and President Harriman has sus
tained the decision cf his officials. Now
the representatives of the two lines
have come together again in this city
for the purpose of talking over the
matter. \u0084 . \j -
As to what the outcome of the meet
ing will be. those who are attending it
will not vouchsafe an opinion. It is
generally believed, however, that the
rxarrinian officials will not permit the
Clark people to enjoy an interchange
of traffic in California, and in the event
il ~a -Sat-rertita.T,'^;i hsxiloa^ht,' L';;iled
States Senator Clark and his mHlion
aire associates will either endeavor to
inaugurate a bitter railroad war in the
West. against Harriman or suffer the
humiliation of withdrawing' from the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
road and leaving, the Harriman syndi
cate in absolute control. Senator
Clark's friends say he will not be
forced out by Harriman and that rather
than submit to what seems to be an
attempt to "bottle him up" in the traffic
business, he will cut loose his mil
lions in forcing Harriman to a com
promise.
CONFERENCE BEGINS HERE.
At yesterday's meeting the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake road
was represented by Vice President J.
Ross Clark. Chief Counsel T. E. Gibbon
x and General Freight and Passenger
l^Agent E. W. Gillett- The Southern Pa
s cine forces consisted of Freight Traffic
Manager Sproule and Special Counsel
Peter F. Dunne, while Traffic Manager
Schumacher of the Oregon Short Line,
end J. A. Munroe, freight traffic man
ager . of : the Union Pacific, both of
•which lines are part of the Harriman
system, were in attendance in a sort of
advisory capacity. Quietly dictating
; the policy that the Southern Pacific
officials shall pursue at the conference.
Is the traffic director of all of the
Harriman lines, J. C. Stubbs ot Chicago.
The conference yesterday lasted many
hours, and that the officials represent-.
«» Ing the contending interests were not
enjoying the friendliest : of feeling was
evidenced in many ways, v ::
They were courteous but cool toward
each other during the meeting, and at
the nobn hour the traditional custom
among railroad officials : : of joining at
luncheon was noticeably violated, the
Clark people scurrying off to the Palace
grill, where they talked in low voices
with their legal adviser,; while the ever
emlling Sproule and likewise pleasant
faced Dunne strolled leisurely uptown to
their club. What developments took place
at yesterday's meeting is kept a secret,
as will be probably, the proceedings. ;; ;
PREDICAMENT SERIOUS, f:
Vice President J. Ross Clark did volun
teer the statement that he and his asso
ciates "hoped" for an amicable settle
ment, which is practically an admission;
and the only one so far openly made, that
trouble exists between the two roads, and
it comes as a flat contradiction to the re
cently signed statement issued in New
York by Senator Clark denying that any
differences exist between the Salt Lake
tread and the Southern Pacific Company.
Freight Traffic Manager Sproule of the
Southern Pacihc would not make any ad
mission. In fact, he would not even ad
..^tnlt that a conference was being held,
and tried to place the gathering in the
light of a casual visit from "some visit
ing officials from the south." .-" -^ ';\u25a0
That the Clark people are in a serious
predicament is generally; conceded by all
railroad men who are watching the sit
uation. Senator Clark and several of his
associates undertook the construction. of
a railroad from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles. They, tinally achieved their am
bition, but only after they had pur
chased a portion of the Oregon Short
Line a nd secured trackage leases for
part of thoir line over portions of the
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific roads.
While the road was In course of construc
tion E.TL Harriman, rated as one of the
ghrewdest railroad manipulators In Wall
street, became a partner in the Clark
project, and' with the Montana Senator
divided the stock 50 and 50 per cent.' Then
the Southern Pacific president persuaded
Senator Clark to enter into an agreement
that the Salt Lake road should not be
extended beyond Its original intended
terminals without the consent " of the
Southern Pacific. Eventually the Salt
Ij| Lake road was finished to San Bernar-
A/Jno and an organization partly com
pleted to secure business for the road.' j
SENATOR MAY FIGHT BACK.
The first attempt to control freight traf-
fie originating ;at California points be
yond the- rails of the. Salt Lake road, or
traffic; from the East i destined for the
same points, was met witha serious ob
stacle. "The Southern ; officials
curtly informed the Salt Lake road peo
ple that if freight ;was -to be 1 had- at
points touched by the Southern Pacific in
California,^ President did not
propose to carry: it 'i a - few miles \u25a0 to ; the
Salt Lake line and lose a profitable 1 long
haul, but would undertake to transport
it as far as possible : over, his' own rails
toward its destination. ::. . . -
If the Clark freight agents cannot go
to Fresno and pick up a carload of freight
for an .;. Eastern;' point;. ; and/ then ; run Hit
down In their own cars to; say : Barstow,
by way of the leased Santa >Fe -tracks,
where it can be transferred to the rails cf
the San Pedro, Los Angeles - and Salt
Lake Company, or deliver Eastern f reght
over the same route, it is; generally con
ceded that Senator. Clark is "out of the
transportation business bo far as Califor
nia f reieht is concerned. \u25a0-. " \
Under the ruling of the Harriman offi
cials Clark Is now in that position, and it
remains to be seen what he will do; It
has been said r that ; Senator Clark V: has
threatened to turn his' interests in the
Salt Lake road over .to the Goulds and
thereby spite Harriman; and at the same
time furnish ; the Denver "and Rio Grande
an entrance into Southern California.
SANTA FE LOOKIXG ON. L '
Clark's friends insist that if "Harrirnan
does not grant.: him; the demanded con
cessions the Senator will build a road in
California parallel >\u25a0 to the Southern \u25a0:;'\u25a0 Pa
ciflc, but:\thls predictions Is V confronted
with the fact that the^agreement entered
into between Clark, and: Harriman - spe
cifically sets; forth that, the;: Salt Lake
road shall not be extended except by con
sent, and; Harriman,' owning as much
stock as Clark, -will naturally not consent
to any addition to the Clark road that
will Jeopardize the business- of his own
lines. ; . \u25a0.-:.-:""•:•. \u25a0.-..-;;'/ ;'. v 'v \u25a0\u25a0.'-.•\u25a0'.. •\u25a0":':\u25a0'-,. :':'-y : : >'\u25a0\u25a0'
j In the present controversy;; between
Harriman and Clark the officials of the
Santa Fe road are : found in the back
ground, emlhng serenely. They, endeav
ored to get an agreement with \u25a0Harriman
for an- exchange of traffic In > ; California
but failedand finally bought the San Joa
quln Valley road and ha ve: since been ex
tending;, their lines or sending\thelr boats
to points within what was regarded as the
exclusive territory of ,- the Southern : Pa
ciflc in order; to get freight to 'their main
line. "If ; Harriman^ should concede thein
terchange of traffic demands to the Clark
road he well knows that he would imme
diately precipitate a, war: between his own
road and the Santa Fe.r Apparently he
prefers to contend with Clark and, if pos
sible, bring him to submission

;Suit\was filed yesterday against the Equitable Assurance Society and forty-nine of its officers or' committee
members jfc>y the Attorney General of the State of New York. The action was taken on behalf of the
policy-holders. Attorney General Mayer's complaint bristles with accusations of fraud and theft, and is a
startling-recital of the methods of men who stand at the top of the financial ladder. The Attorncy_Gcneral
alleges that enormous sums lost to "the Equitable Society found their way into the coffers of its officials, and
contends that k a large surplus is at the present time being illegally .withheld from the policy-holders, to
whom it sKould be distributed.
