Refuses to Give Details but Movement
Points to Great Lakes to

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Another
transcontinental railroad combination
is planned. Edwin Hawley is its spon-
sor and the undertaking involves the
states. including the Alton, the Toledo,

eastern trunk line territory, and the
Western Pacific, now being built from
the Salt Lake gateway to the Pacific
coast Such deal, II carried out
would mean a combination with lines
from the Great Lakes to the Pacific
ocean.
Hawley has said it would be unwise
to tell the details of his plan. He says
his control of Chicago & Alton is too
old fact to be discussed. He admits
and adds that Chicago interests in That
line will have nothing to say as to its
disposition.
1t now becomes public that Hawley
went into the directorate Of the West
ern Pacific with the idea Of building a
new transcOntinental system to include
the Toledo, St. Louis & Western, the
Chicago & Alton. the so-called Hawley
lines in the central west. the ColOra-
do Southern and the Western Pacific.
A combination Of the lines now un-
der Hawley domination would mean a
system of railroads from Toledo, a lake
and trunk line point, to the Pacific
coast, with branch lines in the middle
west and in the Colorado territory.

Berry Wall in his day was no king

sartorial elegance wa spread broad
cast. But like all fame IL had a short
life. Now comes Mrs. Berry Wall into

ular vote is placed on a pedestal to be
seen by all milliners. amateur and pro-
fessional
At the last meeting OF Mrs. George
Taylor Stewards sewing class. whose
work all goes to the benefit OF the Sun
day Kindergarten, there was a hat"
trimming contest. The meeting was
held in the home of Mrs. Stewart, No.
II East sixtieth street. and was at
tended by n large number OF society
women.
They sewed. and they sheared, and
they told stories between times. The
department. stores had been ransacked
Tor every variety OF hat material and
every known color.
With the material at hand, and the
tools that go with the millliner's trade,
and a number OF women whose only
thought at the time was a feeling OF
charity to all, the production Of hats
was as logical as the merger decision.
SO as to obtain perfect fairness from
the court which was to sit in judg-
ment the Marquis de Tore Hermosa, of
Madrid, was made the supreme Justice
OF hats. The work outlined for him
was not the easiest In the world. The
competitors were their own advocates.
and many were the acrimonious debates
before the Marquis was allowed to Sc
ect the hat trimmed by Mrs. Berry
Wall for the first prize.
The prize won by Mrs. Berry Wall Is
an order for a miniature to be painted
on ivory by Mr.. Harrison. of London, a
relative Of Cecil Rhodes. Second to Mrs.
Wall as a milliner was Mrs. Samuel II.
