NEW YORK CENTRAL

Eastern Line VIII Abandon the Steam
Locomotive.

NEW YORK. Nov 25.-William H.
Newman, president of the New York Cen
trail. admitted yesterday that the general
Electric company had secured the con,
tract for the largest part of the electrical
equipment of the New York Central. but
he declined to give any details regarding
the contract on the ground that certain
part of the work was to be done by the
Siemens- Halske company and the West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing COM
pany.
From Independent sources. however, it
was learned that the contract with the
General Electric company means that
within five years no passenger trains on
the New York Central and New Haven
lines will be hauled by steam locomotives
within radius of fifty miles from the
Grand Central station; that the country
lying between the sound and the Hudson
in Westchester county will be brought
into such close touch with the business
part of the city that it will attract a ire
mendous influx of people who now live in
the heart of the city or in the Long ISL
and and Jersey suburbs; that within rea-
sonable period of time express trains will
be run to Albany by electricity, and that
the general adaptation of the motive pow
er for railroads will be brought within the
range of possibility and probability.

WILL ERECT LARGE
HOSPITAL AT TACOMA
Northern Pacific Beneficial Association to
Build on Pacific Coast.


The Northern Pacific Beneficial associa-
ton will erect a Hew hospital in Tacoma,
and the site for the building has been
selected. <>a
For the past two years the project of
establishing another hospital located on
the coast, has been discussed. The cues
ton was brought up at the annual meet
ing held in ST. Paul in June, and at that
time committee was appointed to go
the matter thoroughly and make report
at the annual meeting held this year.
Fearing the price of land would. be
raised the committee worked quietly aud
secured options on several SITES but in
the recommendations sent to ST. Paul
piece of ground located near Mckinley
favOrably looked upon.
The matter rested for some time until
General Manager Cooper and other Off
Gals looked the ground over last week
The site so highly spoken of by the COM
mittee was satisfactory, and a telegram
was at once sent to st. Paul to take up
the option.
The structure to be erected will cost
100000, and provisions will be made for
its enlargement whenever such step
may be deemed necessary. Brick and
stone will be the materials used in the
SubStructure, and the building will be
finished with the latest sanitary appli-
ances. There will be fifty rooms in the
building at the start.
In the new hospital patients will be
treated from all points on the road west
of Spokane, whenever they are in need
of hospital treatment. This will include

thereby enabling the Iumbermen Of
that section of the country to send to
Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and Iowa common grades of lumber
which are said to be piling up at the
mills of the Northwest for lack of mar
ket.
President Elliott says such a reduc-
ton will result in a corresponding re-
duction by the roads hauling southern
pine. He points out that a Accent
rate now applies to Pueblo and other
Colorado points reached over three
connecting roads, while the Southern
lines reaching the same points have
attempted no reduction, nor have they
been asked to take such action. The
reduction asked for by the lumbermen
of the Northwest would make ST.
Louis, Omaha and Denver distributing
points for immense quantities of fir
lumber and an increased quantity of
shingles.
This is the proposition which brought

cific to the extreme western end of his

BLAME BURL INGT0N
Road Is Accused of Causing
Western Car Shortage.

Although it had been supposed that
the reported car shortage in the West
had been settled for the time being, it
was announced yesterday that the Bur-
lington had caused much of the delay
because of Its failure to send back the
cars of the Northern Pacific for re-
loading. It is said that the Burlington
preferred paying the demurrage charg-
es while using the cars Of other COM
panies in moving Mississippi valley
crops.
The reported car shortage was
brought to the attention Of the West
ern railroads through the action of the
lumber and single manufacturers Of
the state Of Washington, who make
claim that car shortages are due to the
fact that existing railroad rates permit
lumbermen to ship only timbers and
the highest lumber grades to the mar
kets Of the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys In competition with southern
white pine. The car shortage is said
to have resulted in loss to manufac-
turers Of something like 10000 car
loads Of business in the last six
months.
Information was received in st. Paul
yesterday to the effect that President
Elliott, of the Northern Pacific, had
heard a formal complaint from the
manufacturers and that he had prom
ised to remedy existing conditions as
soon as possible. Former Gov. Savage,
Of Nebraska, appeared before President
Elliott in behalf Of the owners of $40
mills in Washington, and at the con-
clusion Of the hearing President Elliott
is said to have given an assurance that
he would recommend to the directors
of the Northern Pacific the necessity
for greatly augmented equipment for
hauling lumber and shingles.
The road was asked in particular to
make reduction of rates to Missouri
river points Of from SO to 40 cents,
