RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ERIE.
James j. Hill Planning to Make 1t
Model Road.

The latest Interesting runor is to the eff
feet that James j. Hill has decided to
recommend prodigious Improvements on the
Erie Railroad and will make 1t one of the
greatest lines in the United States Having
failed in his efforts to obtain absolute con-
troll of the Baltimore and Ohio through the
Intervention Of tho Pennsylvania, which
took in that road, Mr.. Hill turned his at
tention to the Erie. and in one week formu-
lated a plan to control that line, and Is
already sending his own men to operate 1t.
President +. u. Underwood is just about to
make some sweeping changes. and the ensi-
neers have prepared plans to cut out
curves eliminate grades and extend the
double tracks.
The Eris Railroad occupies very i'm
portant position. inasmuch as it is a direct
line traversing the center of population and
follows the watershed line between the
great lakes and the Ohio Valley across
the States OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
and has river level grades in the State OF
New York. 1t is a line midway between
the Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt sys-
TENS, with important terminals at Chicago,
Cleveland Buffalo and New York Ii has
many important branches radiating
through the States of New York. Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. and its Mahoning division
is one of the best-paying roads in the
United States The Eanderbilts have to de-
pend upon this part of the road for Il Cleve-
land connection. and they were long desr-
GUS of obtaining possession OF the Cleve-
land line between that city and ioungs-
town. but 1t is now announced that no
overtures for the transfer of this line will
be made.

at Mckeesport the expected attempt to re-

Both points were considered by each side

TOPEKA MAN IN TROUBLE.
Arrested in Denver Charged With
Practicing a Fraud.

Denver. Colo. July Pas E. w. Gray.
alias H. Ellsworth Lewis, was coming down
the stairs from the rooms of the Y M. C.,
A. in this city he was placed under arrest
on the charge of having secured $500 worth
of diamonds from jewelIy firm in Topeka,
kas., through fraud. He got permission, it
is alleged, to take them to the home of a
prominent society lady of Topeka to whom
he was engaged for her inspection, and
falied to return them.
Gray at one time worked on the Topeka
Capital as a proofreader. In speaking Of
the diamond affair. Gray said:
l called at a jewelers. establishment and
was permitted to make selection. l will
not say how the rings were lost but fully
Intended to make good the loss.
AS far as l know, the matter was never
reported to the police of Topeka and no ac-
ton was taken against me there.
Lewis is not my right name, and Gray Is
not. l will say, however. that Gray is part
of my right name. l am the son of a man
who was very well known in New York
City. At one time my father was president
OF the New York Board of Trade l have
relatives there now. but my parents are
dead.

tunate. / was married once, and my home
was broken up by man whom regarded
as my most intimate friend. Only recently
my little child, a GIRL died, and that was
the greatest of all my sorrows.

State Board of Examiners Begins
to Inquire Into Qualifications
of $500 Wielders of Razor a.
and Shears.

Thirty-five hundred BARRIERS in ST. Louis
must prove to the satisfaction of three men
that they are competent to shave the faces
end cut the hair of the male population of
the city, or they will not be permitted to
ply their trade.
And that is not all the State Board of Ex-
aminers for Barbers-conposed Of j. L.
Hanks. president: j. j. Ryan, secretary.and
V. Z. Burch, treasurer-will require OF the
St. Louis tonsorial gentry.
The examiners will ask questions. In fact,
they have prepared a list of eleven queries
which they expect will put the average bar
Der to flight. He'll think he is in medical
college. when. for instance, he comes to
the questions which read: rs sycosis con-
tagious? How can it be distinguished from
similar diseases?'
Then the board wants to know this:
If a diseased face or scalp comes under
your care. how would you dispose of it?::
Now there might be great temptation
on the part of some BARRIERS to say:
why, I'd smash the face and remove
the scalp, Indian style. at once"
The examination OF BARRIERS as to their
qualifications is one that has attracted
much attention throughout the country, rot
alcne among members of the craft, but
among scientific men. especially those in
the medical fraternity who make a special
ty of sktn diseases.

TO REDUCE STANDARD TINE.
George II. Daniels Plan for a New
ChicnG0-New York Schedule

agent Of the New York Central is an.
deavering to bring about a reduction Of the
standard time between Chicago and New
york from twenty-eight to twenty-six
hours. He says his intention is to have the
majority of the excess fares now being
charged wiped out. He is willing that the
Lake Shore and Pennsylvania should still
be compelled TO charge the present excess
fare of 81 on their two limited trains. be-
cause of superior equipment.
Mr.. Daniels's proposition will meet with
serious opposition from several Chicago
lines. the officials claiming that the stand
ard time on many trains is already too
fast They further claim that if any re-
auctions are made. some of the lines will
be forced to resort to the payment of COM
missions, a practice which, II is alleged, has
again gained a footing in Central passen-
ger Association territory.
