in Importance and power in the new depart
ment.
The law provides that the Commissioner

tion of the Secretary, ''dliieeDt investigation

tiohs Committee to-day gave u hearing in

journed to meet at ii o'clock Tuesday.

ulent voters and that the greater part of
the. frauds alleged were committed therein.
The other iifty-three precincts in the dis
trict he said. were fairly free from frauds.

made by him in the sixty-three precincts
named. Mr.. owen hardly had begun h;S

Director of Works Says Street Car
Corporation Is Considering
Proposed Investment.
SCENIC LINE OF WORLDS FAIR.
Would Give Control of Nine Miles
of Tracks and Save SG5G,000
to the Exposition
Company.

Director of Works Taylor stated yes
| terday that the ST. Louis Transit Company
had for some time been considering the ad
Visibility of constructing the 1ntramural
railway at the Worlds Fair as an invest
ment. He added that the officials of the
street car corporation had not yet decided
whether they would undertake the enter
prise.
Mr.. Taylor estimates that the cost of
building the lntramuial and equippins the
road for service, in accordance with the
plans OF Engineer Weston. will not exceed
SoSO'UVo. This expenditure. he added would
represent the expense of the undertaking,
basis.
Inc advantage to the Transit Company in
'hs event that its officials DECIDED to as
snme the obligation OF building and oper
ating the scenic line of the Worlds Fair
would lie in the control of nine miles of
trackage throughout the entire two square
miles of Exposition grounds
Pians for the Intramural call for dis
tinct equipment of third rail pattern, 50
that the Transit Company would be unable
10 make use OF its street coaches The
power in the Intramura system would be
optalned from a third rail which calls for
special style of motor car The purchase
OF this equipment would also fall on those
VINO secured the concession To operate the
system.
AS concession, the Intramural would
be operated without the expenditure of
s65o9e9 10y the Exposition Company. which
would derive royalty from the gross
earnings of the line. The question of fare
would in the instance of concession ar
ranSement largely depend upon the de-
clsion of the concessionnaire.
IL is planned that the Intramural shall
depart from the third rail at all grade cross
lngs; to insure safety to life 4 cable in a
CONDUIT will be taken up by grip at a safe
Instance .hst from the grade crossing. and by
TINS means of locomotion the trains will
De taken across the Exposition boulevards
The third rail Will be in active service on
the elevated sections of the tracks.
A big lntramural station will be located
AT the fork of the Midway where it
bfanches east and west. At this point the
tracks Will be carried over the Midway on
an elevated structure. Another large ter
lnlnai street railway station will be To-
Gated at the intersection of Concourse
drive and the Clayton road on the pla-
teau OF the state buildings Just inside the
gates OF this station will occur another
