Officers Elected at q Meeting of Di-
rectors of the Logansport, HAM
mOnd & Chicago Company.
ANOTHER LINE COMPLETED
LAST STROKE OF WORK DONE ON
THE wABAsH-LOGANsPO ROAD.
Hourly Service to BE Maintained-In-
dfanapOlfs & Eastern Inspected
Proposed Extension.

The directors Of the Logansport, Ham
mond & Chicago Traction Company, which
was Incorporated last week, held their first
meeting yesterday afternoon in the offices
of the Union Traction Company. in the
Newton Claypool building. Officers were
elected as follows:
President-George F. McCulloch.
Vice President-Horace G. Stilwell.
Secretary-Arthur W. Brady.
General Manager-A. l. Drum
Aside from the election of officers little
business of definite character was trans
acted, although the directors discussed the
affairs of the new line at some length. The
questions of franchises and the securing
of right of way were gone into and plans
for early action mapped out in a general
way.
The company, which is controlled by the
Union Traction interests, proposes to con-
struct an electric line from Logansport to
Chicago, which will establish a through line
from Indianapolis to Chicago via the Indi-
annapolis & Northern, another Union Trac-
ton line, to Logansport Vice President
Stilwell said last evening that all the fran
chises from Logansport to the limits Of
Chicago have been secured and that the
road will be constructed entirely on a pri-
vate right or way except where IL passes
through the various cities and towns. When
he was asked when work would be begun
on the road he replied:
THAT is difficult question to answer.
1t will take some little time to secure the
right of way. and then we may have to fight
for a year for an entrance into Chicago.
There will be no unnecessary delays, how
ever, you may be assured of that"
Mr.. Stilwell also stated that the road will
be constructed by the construction COM
pany which. as has been announced in the
Journal. will be incorporated to do all such
work for the Union Traction interests.
Everything has been ready for the in
for some time" said Mr.. Stilwell, but
every time we have been together other
matters have engrossed our attention and
time, and that question has been deferred.
The organization and incorporation will be
perfected in a short time now, / think"

Mr.. Tanning and Mr. Keach ate lunch
together in their individual capacity and
discussed questions relating to the amend
ment OF the laws regulating primary cleo
tons. The discussion was entirely friendly
and without incident. the only difference OF
opinion being that Mr.. Keach believed the
chairman of a party committee should have
restricted powers, while Mr.. Tanning be-
lieved that the whole power of the party
should be vested in the chairman. The
dishes on the table were not broken.
Those near to both men assert that there
is danger of any breach being caused by
the strenuous contest now going on. The
personal relations of the two distinguished
politicians do not conflict in any way with
their relations as champions of causes an
tipodal and raZor-edged.
