Following a heated discussion over
the question of whether or not ‘'horse
radish is a vegetable,” two youthful
naturalists caused consternation in
a country school near Lone Star, a
few days ago. One of the students
maintained that it was an animal. The
combatants were finally separated and
order restored, but not until one of
the youths was considerably disfigur-
ed.

NO DISSOLUTION OF UNION PACIFIC MERGER
Attorney General Will Oppose Plan.
It Is Too Vague to Meet the
Requirements.
Washington.—Attorney General Me-
Reynolds disapproved both of the two
latest plans for the dissolution of the
Union Pacific merger which a few
days ago were submitted by the Union
Pacific railroad to the United States
court at St. Paul. The attorney gen-
eral will attend the hearing to be
held at St. Paul this week by Circuit
Judges Sanborn* Hook and Smith and
will oppose the adoption of either plan
on the ground that each is too vague
to meet the requirements of the su-
preme court’s decision ordering the
dissolution of the merger under the
Sherman law.
Mr. McReynolds Monday indicated
that he would not go before the court
with an insistence on a receivership
for the merger, as he said that was a
question for the courts. If a plan of
dissolution of the merger satisfactory
to the court is not submitted by July
1, the supreme court's mandate pro-
vides for a government receivership
to accomplish the dissolution.
Mr. McReynolds said he sympa-
thlzed with the efforts which Robert
S. Lovett and other attorneys of the
Union Pacific had made to draft a
plan of dissolution, but said the plans
proposed do not provide a definite
time for the surrender by the Union
Pacific of its $126,650,000 worth of
Southern Pacific stock and he also re-
gards them as vague with respect to
the extent to which the present share-
holders of the Union Pacific may pur-
chase the surrendered Southern Pa-
cific stock.
