Chairman McCumber expressed con

which follows closely the house bin.

'the committee agreed.
Both the McCumber proposal and
the Smoot propositions to give vet-j

weris discussed at some length at the
committee meeting which was the first I
for discussion of the bonus to which
the Democratic members wore admit
ted. The committee chairman said there
had been no discussion of a cash bonus
adding that there was not the money
With which to pay cash.
Proponents Of the MeCumher plan;
appeared to be confident that the com

Claim
WASHINGTON, May It The gov
ernment won today in the supremp
court In Its suit to have the Southern,
Pacific company's ownership of the
Central Pacific railways declared un
lawful. H
The court In deciding h case th '
la9t of the jrreat trust dissolution suits
brought to the supreme court rver
ed the decision of the federal court of
Utah, w hich had held against the gov- H
jernment, H
Th" decision. Supreme Court Justice H
Day stated means that the Southern H
Pacific will be required to divest Itself H
of nil stock ownership In the Central H
! Pacific lines or other control It h-s H
held since 1SSG by lease and 1899 by
purchase.
Justice Day delivered the opinion of H
the court, reviewing in detail the his-
tory of the construction of the Central
and Southern Pacific railroads and H
Uhe methods by which the latter ob- H
talned control of the former, holding H
that tho Sherman anti-trust act was H
effocthe In dissolving any comblna- H
Hons which by stock ownership, lease H
or other control constituted a mon- H
opoly or trust which congress pro- H
hlblted by the Sherman act.
The Central Pacific Is the Southern H
Pacific line running from Ogden to H
San Francisco H
TodaCs nipremo court decision
means a bigger railroad center for
Ogden In tho opinion of students of
the situation.
The Southern Pacific must sell the
Central Pacific under the terms of the
decision. The Union Pacific company
is almost certain to bo the purchaser.
The Union Pacific Is declared to bo
about the only road with a reserve
with which to purchase the road and
by purchasing the road the Cnlon Pa
cific will have a through line from
Omaha to San Francisco.
Southern Pacific shops In Ogden
will come under the ownership of
whoever purchases the Central Pa
cific. MEANS MORE I RK IGHT.
Observers declare that the amount
of freight routed over the Central Pa
cific should Increase greatly in the
event the Union Pacific gets the
road.
They point out that under present
conditions the Southern Pacific com
pany sends over it Sunset route a
great amount of freight which Just IIKI
as well could conic over the Ogden
route.
The Southern Pacific uses the Sun
set route for much of this traffic be
cause If It used the Central Pacific
It must share freight revenues with
the Union Pacific when Ogden la
reached.
OGDEN HE LDQI RTFRS.
On the other hand with the Union
Pacific owning the Central Pacific, the
Union Paclfli would go after busi
ness with great vigor to be routed
through Ogden
With (he ownership of the Central
Pacific settled, it is believed that many
feeder lines aIll be, built, feeder llnc
that have been declared necessary.
If the Union Pacific gets the Cen
tral Pacific. Ogden would be the logl-
cal headauarters of the system, it is
