O'lAY ON THE FRISCO DEAL
HE ADMITS THAT HE AND THE sELIG-
MANS ARE IN CONTROL.
They Purchase Six Millions of Stock
at Forty Cents on the Dollar
Changes to Bc Made in Lo-
cation OF Offices.

Springfield, Mo, Jan. 15.-(Specal) The
telegram from this place few days ago,
published exclusively in the Journal. to
the effect that John O'Day had suddenly
come into possession of a controlling in
terest in the Frisco railroad. gave rise to
much speculation among business men
generally as to what effect such a deal
would have on the future of Springfield
and tributary territory. Everyone knew,
of course, that 1t meant much one way or
the other, but no one was authorized to
speak authoritatively until to-day, when Mr..
O'Day himself confirmed the news regard
ing the sale and partly outlined the fut-
ure policy of the Frisco company.
Mr.. O'Day said that his coming into the
company at this time was due to the cul-
mination of a deal that has been on foot
for some time, and when pressed for fur
ther particulars said that the Seligmans,
together with himself mad bought s6.000,-
600 of stock, which, together with what he
and the Segmans already owned, gave
them control of the entire road.
The price paid was 40 cents on the dollar
and O'Day says that since the trade was
made the stock had already gone UP to
So cents. He further said that the policy
would be to further advance the interests
of Springfield by moving all the most inn
portaint offices to this city.
The Office of general superintendent will
so to ID. H.Ntchols, formerly one of O'Day's
most bitter enemies, and a complete change
in all subordinate positions will be the re-
suit. One of the first changes TO occur
will be the removal of the passenger from
Nlonette to this place. What effects may
follow Is problematical, but 1t is believed
that the recent purchase would not have
been made If 1t had not been seen that a
way will be found for getting the road out
of the hands of the receiver and severing

paid being $4,000. He was relieved at once

Caused Surprise in wnshincton.

Washington, Jan. l5-Diplomatlc circles
here We're astonished tonight by the news
of the resignation of President Casimir-
Perier, of France, So unexpected was the
announcement that many officials were not
inclined 10 believe 1t. Neither the secre-
tary OF state. the French ambassador nor
any of the members of the foreign rela-
tons committee of the house and senate
had any intimation of such a thing or any
reason TO expect II.
Ambassador Patenotre said he had re-
oelved no news on the subject The res
iGnaton must have been on account of the
failure of the president To form minis
try" he said. "but 1t is entirely unprece-
dented that president should resign for
such cause. In France the president is
a sort of constitutional king. He Is not
supposed to have any special policy, his
ministers being expected to govern. If the
ministry finds itself opposed TO either of
the chambers on any point, no matter how
trivial, 1t will resign but this does not af-
will be done-the condition is so new. The
chamber elected the president and they
must meet TO receive his resignation and to
elect his successor. President Caslmir-
Perier was elected by very large major
ity and i do not think his popularity has
been diminished. | do not believe his res
ignation will be accepted He might be
reelected This would be something like
a vote of confidence and would strengthen
him. The whole thing is very great sur
prise and | can hardly realize that It is

Standards to 2,l4s for the Vikings.
The teams not only bowled in bad form,

As Boston ana Brooklyn are two OF the
leading bowling centers. scores made by
crack teams OF these cities In compilation
will be interesting to Kansas city bowlers.
This is from the Boston Herald of last
Sunday
The first Of series OF matches between

by 17G pins. and got that much of lead for
honors. which are to be decided finally by
total pins, and not by games
Local followers of the game had looked
forward with much interest to the event
or last evening. \ game Of the crackaiack
order was looked for. but In this respect
there was disappointment. for the totals
were small-in fact. mediocre. The Brook
lynltes came on here backed by tremen
dous totals. the 900 mark for the single
team having been reached by them several
times.
The visitors used a swift and sharp cross
ball. the speed being considerably more
than that used by the home team, but Il
was not near as effective. They were with
one or two exceptions off on the second ball
work and their missed spare column :
a rather large one. as compared with the
u. A. AS. the latter having but eighteen
misses. The home team was some better
on the first ball and got the head pin more
times.
Both teams got roast on breaks, the
Carletons getting the worst of II by two.

to do with the smallness of the totals
Warren Hin was the only man to touch
the SEQ rark-he got an even 800. Burton
lacked but two OF making 1t. and the near
est any OF the visitors came TO II was 4g1
by Newhall. who by long odds was the
best bowler on the visiting team.
The doubles camel hard and not well to-
gether. Burton pulled triple together in
the second. third and fourth boxes OF the
first string. and double in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth boxes of the second and
a double in the third. Hill got double In
the second. and Ebbetts. Mason and James
each doubled in the third
The match was never In much doubt
after the first five or six frames, Il. A. A.
winning out on all three strings.
