WASHINGTON, Juno 2S.-Attomey
General McReynolds and representatives
of the Union .Pacific, It was definitely
learned today, nave reached an agree
ment for the dissolution of the great
Harrlman merger. The principles of th
plan are In harmony with the views ot
President Wilson and he Is expected to
approve. It will be submitted Monday
to the Judges of the United States court
for the Eighth circuit at Bt Paul.
The plan will go to the court with the
government's approval, qualified only
by a request that the Judges give a
limited tlmo bofore entering a final de
cree, during which the government may
possibly make objections, which cannot
now be foreseen. Attorney General Mc
Reynolds does not expect to go to St.
Paul, but will send G. Carroll Todd, spe
cial assistant, who has been associated
in tha negotiations.
Stock Will De Sold.
Attorney General McReynolds today
said he was not ready to discuss the
situation or details. It Is understood,
however, that the plan will provide for
exchanging $38,000,000 of Southern Paclflo
block held by Union Pacific for Pennsyl
vania's interest In Baltimore & Ohio, the
Eule of the remaining $83,000,000 of South
ern Pacific through the medium of a
trust company under such safeguards as
Mill end control of the Southern Paclflo
by either the Union Pacific or its share
holder!. Officials today declared that President
Wilson and Attorney McReynolds had
been In perfect accord all along to reach
an agreement for the dissolution, pro
vided a plan could be ovolved that would
meet the demands of the Sherman law,
' ft was declared that while there had
-never been any tendency to place, ob
stacles In the way of an agreement! the
administration had insisted on an "ade
quate dissolution.'' The plan evolved, it
Is believed, will accomplish it, but tho
government takes the precaution of ask
ing for a limited time within which to
make objections, so that In case publto
discussion ot the proposition and further
study by officials shojy any weaknesses,
the hands of the administration will not
be tied.
Another Salt Necessary.'
As the plan of dissolution does not pro
vide for the separation ot the Southern
and Central Pacific, officials ot the De
partment of Justice today reiterated that
Attorney General McReynolds later on
would bring a civil anti-trust suit under
the Sherman law to accomplish that re
sult An effort now Is being made, to have
the Judges of the United States court
for the eighth circuit, who sit oa a dis
trict court In the case, assemble In St.
Paul on Monday. The details ot the
plan will not be made public out of

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 28.-Speclal.)-
Representative Barton has Joined forces
with Secretary of the Navy Daniels von
the proposition of having the government
manufacture its own armor plate. Th
secretary naa agreed to furnish Mr. war
ton with information on the subject with
out being required by resolution to give
the data. Mr. Barton hod a conference
with the secretary today, and afterwards
gave out the following statement:
"A report of tho naval board made
March 3, 1906, proves conclusively that
allowing the trusts magnanlmeus mar
gins, the best nrmor plate can be made
for less than $300 a ton. We have been
paying between $400 and $500 a' ton. I feel
that I am not violating n confidence when
I state that the honorable secretary of
the navy In a talk with htm this mornln?
said that there was no doubt In his mind
that the concerns bidding on this class of
work understood each other perfectly and
the records show that during the period
from 1887 the Carnegie Stool company re
ceived in round numbers $33,500,000 and the
Bothlehem Steel company $33,250,000 from
the government for tho manufacture of
armor plate and that the Bethlehem com
pany received orders for 78,291 tons and
the Cameglo company rccetved orders
for 73,120 tons of armor plate. What bet
tor evidence do we need to prove collu
sion? "If we hod made our own armor pinto
during that period, using the extravagant
(as they admit) estlmato of the board
($300 a ton), we would have saved In
round numbers $26,000,000 to the govern
ment. ThlB same board estimated that
to build a plant would cost tho govern
ment $3,750,000. Assuming that It would
cost $4,000,000, we have presented to th
steel trust six and a half plants In the
profits they have received. I do not un
derstand why positive action was not
taken after receiving such a clear and
concise report from the hoard, but dila
tory tactics have ever been the weapons
of the Interests when they knew better
than to force a question squarely on fact
and reason."
Oil Gompany Ouster .
Modified by Supreme
Court of Missouri
JEFFERSON CITY Mo., June 28. The
Missouri &uprerne court today announced
a decision allowing the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, which had been
outsed from the state, to continue
business In Missouri.
The decision doos not revoke -the order
of ouster Issued some time ago ns a re
sult of proceedings Instituted by the
state under the anti-trust law, but merely
suspends the order for so long a time as
the company compiles with the laws of
the state.
The suspension of the ouster was made
after evidence had been taken before a
special commissioner to sustain the con
tention of the company that It no longer
had a monopoly of the oil business 9f
the state.
The decision suspending the ouster pro
vides that tho supremo court shall re
tain Jurisdiction of the case; that the at
torney general, If tho company violates
tho anti-trust law, may move to vacati
the suspension ot the ouster, and that
independent of the attorney general the
court may order evidence to be taken to
ascertain whether tho company Is com
plying with the laws.
Missouri Fire

JKFFERSON CITY, Mo.June 28. Tho'
Missouri supreme court pday overruled
the demurrer filed by the fire Insurance
companies that had announced their in
tention to cease 'writing business In this
state, and Issued a 'temporary order re
straining the companies "from cancelling
policies. This is a victory for the attor
ney general.
The decision of the court in the Insur
ance case allows the companies to file
an answer to the quo warranto proceed
ings ot the attorney general, who asked
that they be fined for combining to with
draw from the state. After the answer
Is filed the court wilt appoint a com
missioner to take testimony.
Judge Woodson, who wrote the opinion,
made clear therein that the attorney gen
eral had not sought to prevent the fire
Insurance companies Individually fTom
leaving the state, but that he sought to
prevent them leaving In a body by agree
ment On this point the court held that the
companies "had no legal right by agree
ment to withdraw from the state In a
body In pursuance to said unlawful
agreement or to cancel their policies on
property In this state in pursuance to
said agreement."
