Tulare County, where she worked for a Mr..
Farmer, who is supposed TO be a relative.
Mr.. Grant, for whom she worked. says she

WHERE Is L. e. POST?
He Has Been Kissing for the Past Six
Weeks.


TACOMA, Dec S.-The continued absence
of l.. Z. Post of this city. who went East
six weeks ago. is causing great anxiety to
his friends and family.
Nothing has been heard from him since
November 15 when he wired he would
start home from New York that night. His
wife fears that two recent severe disap-
pointments have unsettled his reason or
caused him to commit suicide.
just before leaving Post was notified
that in January he would be ret red from
the presidency of the Tacoma Building and
Savings Association Bank and Tacoma
Theater Company. both Of which were con-
trolled by George Vanderbilt. who is repre-
sented here by his cousin, Philip Cesar.
Another disappointment was his failure
TO obtain the management of the new Seat
tie theater which he planned to get until
November 15 when Caesar wired him that
the theater was given to John W. Hanna.
Post went East partly TO see Al Hayman,
and wanted to become manager of his
theatrical interest in the entire Northwest.
Eastern friends have searched in vain for
him in New York and Philadelphia.

New YORK. Dec. ga Washington spe-

appear authoritative. that Cleveland Is POSI-

The radicals believe Cleveland will call an
extra session, while the conservatives doubt
It. The above report was also given out on

BIG RAILROAD SCHEME.

The Chicago Great Western System I'm
corporated in Chicago.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 1S.-A published dis
patch from Chicago Sunday stated that
new railroad corporation had been
organized for the construction of a belt
line at Chicago which was to become a
part of the Chicago, st. Paul and Kan
sas City system. Among the incor-
porators were mentioned several st.
Paul gentlemen, stockholders in the
Kansas City. Upon Investigation this
enterprise turned out to mean much
more than was indicated by the state
ment first sent out from Chicago. 1t is
a reorganization of whole Kansas City
system, which will be known under q
new name, that of Chicago Great
Western not Chicago and Great West
ern, as stated. The line, according to
the articles of incorporation, is to be
constructed from Hammond, Ind, to a
point near Evanston, to the north of
Chicago, thus forming a belt line about
that city. But this, it seems, did not
convey the real object of the scheme.
The new corporation, the Chicago
Great Western, is incorporated with a
capital of 500, 100000. The present Chi
cago, st. Paul and Kansas City system
will probably be leased by the new cor
poration, and will be operated under
the new name. The junior securities
of the two corporations may be ex-
changed, while the first mortgage bonds
of the Kansas City are still provided for
that is, the details of the plan for TAX
ing care of them have not yet been COM
pleted. A. B. Stickney, chairman Of
the board of the Kansas City, is now in
the East perfecting the details of the
new deal.
