AN IMroR1ANr RAILROAD DEAL.
BiR Four and Chesapeake and Ohio secure
Valuable TERMINATE In LonIsvIlIe.

Financial negotiations have recently been con-
cluded in this city which will make important
changes In the railroad situation at Louisville,
Ky. The Illinois Central is preparing to estab-
lish a direct line from Louisville TO New Or
leans, and now the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis,
or Big Four" are about to secure entrances
also into the city. This will be accomplished
over the tracks of the Kentucky and Indiana
Bridge Company.
The bridge company owns valuable terminal
properties In Louisville and New Albany and
undertook to build n steel Cantileyer bridge
across tho Ohio River Mt Louisville. IL was
com TO default ON the interest on its first
mortgage bonds in Der. 1893, and re-
ceivers were appointed. ATTEMPTS at reorgani-
zation have failed. and now the Chesapeake and
Ohio and Il Four have agreed to complete
the work on the bridge and terminals and guar
antee the interest on the bonds and will take
control Of the property.
Tn big Four" Is negotiating with the Bal
timore and Ohio Southwestern for the use of its
line from North Vernon. the terminus of the
Big Four" Michigan division, to Louisville. n
distance OF hfty-scv.n miles. The Chesapeake
and Ohio now uses the tracks of the Louisville
and Nashville from Lexington into Louisville.
The Louisville Southern. however. also has q
line from Lexington TO Louisville, and by n route
that is seven miles shorter. As the Louisville
southern ia n part OF the Southern Railway sys-
tenn, which Is controlled by Drexell, Morgan u
Co., there il good reason to believe that as soon
as possible the shorter route will be chosen.

NOT STUCK ON A mar TARIFF.
Western Republican. Express Their Views
on tho Subject.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The fact was devel-
oped at the meeting to-day of the Republican
Congressional Committee that the Western
men, particularly those from the Missis-
sippi country. are not in favor OF high tariff
rates. The discussion on this point was pro-
voked by Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma, who re-
marked that the West Is not stuck ON a high
tariff, although the Republicans Of that coun-
try are sturdy supporters Of the principles OF n
protective tariff" The discussion from this
point became general. and was mainly partici-
pated In by Western Representatives. Mr.. Bar
tholdt of Missouri said that the Republicans Of
his state admired GOV. Mckinley. but IL no
should not be the standard bearer in the next
campaign It was because In the minds of the
people he WAS looked upon rs an apostle OF too
extreme views on the tariff.
MIR. Boutclle OF Maine insisted that the Repub-
licans ot the West shared the sentiments of their
Eastern brothers So far as a high protective
tariff was concerned, and that the fact was pat
ent TO everybody that the great victories Of
1924 had been won upon that issue.
senator Powers OF Montana asked Mr.. Bou-
telle what he knew about the West, and II he
had made any speeches there during the recent
Mr.. Boutclle replied that he had spoken in
Ohio, to which Senator Powers retorted that Ohio
vas no longer regarded as n Western state.
senator Carey OF Wyoming. advised modera-
ton on the part of the Republicans on all mat
tors of legislation. owing TO the unsettled condi-
ton of the public mind in that part OF the coun-
ana New England are interested.
VI. Wilson OF Washington said there were
othe. things to engage the attention OF the party
In the West besides the tarifl, and mentioned

can party controlled both the legislative and
executive branches Of the Government 1t would

fronted.
