JACKSON EVOLVES PLAN TO SETTLE STANDARD OUSTER (Continued from Pas 1. column 4.) by bogus companies and the organization of new companies and In various other ways.

TO CONTROL NOT OUST. "Here in Kansas we have the great pipe line of the Prairie Oil and Gas company, which, of course, the people of Kansas will never want to see torn up. Our suit must result in controlling it in some way so it will be for the benefit of the people of the state. At present the Standard violates both the Interstate Commerce and the state law making pipe lines common carriers. "The Judgment in our case will be taken with reference to the success of the government suit.

The government seeks to enjoin such companies as the Prairie Oil and Gas company from being controlled by the Standard of New Jersey. If the government succeeds our task will be comparatively easy and as I stated before, it would be by compelling the Prairie Oil and Gas company and other Standard companies now existing in Kan-as (and which will be cut off and forced to reorganize by the government) to transact business exactly as Independent companies are compelled to transact business now. That is by one company transacting the business in full, light of publicity without the assistance of any holding companies or other subterfuges to cover up the real ownership of the business, and to aid It In preventing competition. "The suggestion that the Prairie Oil and Gas company be allowed to take over the other two companies comes only from the fact that the Prairie Oil and Gas Is a Kansas company and the name could be used as well for the reorganization as any other name." The management of the Prairie OH and Gas company has taken Mr. Jackson's suggestion under advisement ASK CARNEGIE PENSION FOR K.

DAYS JICARAGUAn ISHBUi MEETS CATHOLICS TODAY Special Train Will take Crowd of 300 Rooters to St. Marys; Squad Will Include 21 Play ers. With a special train and at least three hundred rooters from the college the "Washburn football squad will invade the camp of the enemy at St Mary's tomorrow afternoon and will endeavor to administer a good sound thrashing to Irish lads who pulled the Blue down and tramped it In the mud last season.

The ting of last year's defeat is still a sore spot on the hides of the Washburn men, and etery one of them will do his best in the game tomorrow to apply a little salve to that sting. This, however, does not mean that te" proteges of Coach Quigley are going to sit around and let Dr. Weede's "hopefuls" spread a thick layer of this balm. Qulgley's team is known to be light, but they are also lightning fast and will make the Washburn ends and backs hustle to down them before a substantial gain has been made. The St.

Mary's team has always depended much upon its nd running ability and fast open play which their light but fleet-footed men are more than adept at to make tneir gams. They always have a good stock of trick plays up their sleeve to pull off at any moment and as fast as spectacular foot ball is concerned their game is the best of the season Dr. Garfield Weed has 'been putting the Varsity squad through a severe course In defensive play this week, having them workout in scrimmage with the scrubs for an hour or more every evening. scrubs are given the ball upon the Varsity yard line and then given ten downs to make the distance. "When the scrubs are successful In making their dis tance the varsity is due for some pretty plainly spoken ideas on their ability to play tne national conege game, ana men iney try it an over again.

No pains will be spared this year in de feating St. Mary's, and with this idea in view a full squad of twenty men will be taken tor tne game, witn tne exception ef John Robb, man of the squad is in the best of shape and should play his best game of the season tomorrow. Robb. wno opened an old wound in his elbow in the Denver game, will be held in reserve for the game with Kansas university, one week from tomorrow. A special train has been ordered by Manager Mlllice of Washburn to carry the team and the rooters which will accompany them, which will leave the Union Pacific station at 1:30 tomorrow afternbon, and will return to Topeka immediately after the game and in time for every one to reach home by supper time.

By 'peclal arrangement, a rate of fl.85 for the round trip and Including admission to the game has been made, which is but little more than the ergular price of one game at home. The officials for the game are: W. O. Hamlton of Lawrence, Alpha Brummage, coach of William Jewell college. O.

S. Brunner, formerly of Kansas university, and Dr. Anderson of the Kansas City Athletic club. FAIRMOUNT DOING SOME HARD PRACTICING Special to the Capital. Wichita, Oct.

'i ne men are believed to nave gone beyond a "dead line" with lighted lamps In entering the mine, the lamps Igniting escaping gas. The fact that Dan Hughes, a sub-boss, was with the other men, suggests the theory that the men were arranging the air courses to carry out the gas when one or more of the men passed over the "dead line." Hughes was alive when taken from the mine, but never regained consciousness. Peter Hanratty, state mine inspector.

London, Oct 2L Sir Charles Rivers Wil son, who is to retire from the presidency of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, at the close of the present year, presided toaay for the last time at a meeting of the board of directors. In addressing the board Sir Charles expressed a hopeful view of the business situation and said that there has 1een a marked improvement In the condition so far during the latter half of this year. He referred to the absence of sufficient help In British Colum bia and said that he feared that the lack of laborers to be secured there would make it impossible to fulfil the promise of completing the roads' extension to Prince Rupert, on the Pacific coast, by December of 1911. President Wilson complained that the government authorities of British Colum bia had given but little assistance in solv ing the problem of obtaining laborers and had absolutely refused permission for the introduction of Chinese and Japanese.

He said that personally he was opposed to the appointment of an advisory board in Canada, but that he would offer no strong objection to the plan If It should be favored by a large proportion of the Grand Trunk shareholders. It was in dispensable, he added, that the financial control of the company should remain In London. The meeting became noisy when it was proposed to grant Sir Charles an annual pension of $7,600. After an adoption of an amendment deferring consideration of the matter for one year, the temporary chairman announced that a poll would be taken to determine whether the directors were in favor of the original motion. The poll proved an overwhelming sentiment in favor of the motion, and accordingly a pension for Sir Charles is secured.
