CHICAGO SUBWAY
VAST UNDERGROUND SCHEME
viii Transfer all Freight Under the
Streets-Starts with Fifty Mil
lions of CAPITAL.

Chicago, Nov. 22-The Chicago Sub
way COMPANY, with capital stock of
$50,000,O0O, and composed of men who
represent ninety per cent. of the rail
roads having Chicago terminals, was
organized to-day and took over the
s30,000.0O0 capital here which has
built fifteen miles of freight tunnels
under the city streets.
The vast tonnage of the railroads
represented by the financiers in the
new corporation will be converted into
the companys tunnels, which are al
ready under every street of the busi-
ness district
Apparently in connection with the
mammoth deal, Sir Ernest Cassell
financial adviser of the King of Eng
land, was in Chicago to-day with ia
com Schiff, head of the international
banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
which is heavily interested.
Men who will enter the directory
of the new corporation are Edward ii.
Hartman, the principal factor in the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific;
James Stillman, president of the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York and n
factor in the control of large num-
Der of great eastern and western rail-
ways, notably the Chicago & North
western and the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul; Jacob Schiff, member
of the Wall street firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., and a big factor in the Penn
sylvania system.
The deal is declared 10 mean the i'm
mediate diversion of traffic and freight
from the streets TO the tunnels; the
transferring of all newspapers for out
of-town circulation to the early trains
through the tunnels; for transferring
of mail between the main postofiice
and the railroad stations and between
the stations; 1t provides n means for
the transportation Of freight and of
handling 1t expeditiously without com
pelling the railroads TO absorb high
priced property in the center of the
city for freight purposes. and freight
yards can be moved out ten or fifteen
miles and the freight transferred. The
trains will run into the passenger sta
tions with electric locomotives and
do away with over eighty per cent. OF
all smoke in the heart of the city.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

II is unusual that single institution in
city of 600 people will overshadow In i'm
portance every othe' interest, but such Is
the case with the American School Of
Osteopathy, and A. L. St II Infirmary at
Kirksville Mo.
A stranger in kirksville is Immediately
impressed with tbs idea that the town Is
sustained by this institution, In fact,
kirksyille has been made what it Is to-day
by DIR. Still and his famous School aud
Infirmary. It is the largest patronized un-
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
Dr. Stills school cnrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study There are
over 700 graduites and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory of tho
Union. About two-thirds Of the states
have passed special laws legaiizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy Is substituted for that. So
thorough Is tho teaching In anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis.
sectcd yearly by the students.
At tho lnfirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form Of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For tho past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Krksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping TO find re-
lief by tho science of Ostcopathy. BY tho
thousands who have left the institution
benefited BY the treatment, the science has
been heraldcd to the world as safe and
rational method OF cure. Several years ago
q FREQ clinic was established In connection
with tho practice department of the school
and this is still In operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unable TO pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free Of charge.

ing year.
Mr.. c. L. LOOP of Chattanooga.
whom it was stated was elected to the
board of directors. has been a men,
Der of that body for years.
At the meeting of stockholders mat
tiers of general interest to the COM
pany were discussed. and the reports
of the officers read and approved.
President M. J. O'Brien stated last
night that there was practically moth
ing of interest done beyond the crea-
lion of a new office. that of assistant
general counsel. which Mr.. Robert c.
Aston of Atlanta. was selected to fill.
Mr.. Aston will be associated with
General Counsel Fleming G. duBignon
in the discharge of the duties of as
sfstant. Mr.. Aston was appointed by
the president under the resolution
adopted by the board of directors.
The following directors were re-elect-
ed: T. w. Leary, of Atlanta; c. l..
Loop, of Chattanooga; M. ]. O'Brien,
of New York; NJ. F. Plant, of New

en- of as to the moving of offices, etc.,
were discussed, and that the affairs
of the company were such now that

No dividend has yet been declared,
but President O'Brien believes the bust
ness of the last year has been such as
to warrant the usual division.
