PLAN AN AIR LINE
TO THE WINDY CITY
Capitalists Want Franchises for
New DoubIe-tracked
Electric Road

Another Chicago-St. Paul line may be
built next year if the plans of a proml7
nent railroad man and capitalist develop
as he expects them to do. He would secure
an air line right of way and spend $3O,-
600 600 in constructing a double tracked
system without grades or curves and
avoiding grade crossings all along the line.
Then he would operate the system entirely
by electricity and make no stop between
this city and the big town at the foot OF
Lake Michigan.
Here is the reason for my idea, said
he. .aThere are seven lines between Chi
cago and St Paul. Each of them runs
from two to five passenger trains a day
averaging three each per day. That would
make twenty-one trains. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the trains are operated at
profit or they would not be continued. The
mileage on the average is about 430 and
the earnings run above $1.50 per train
mile or $645 per train which makes $13,-
545 daily gross passenger earnings at the
least calculation.
1.-The freight earnings are much more
than that for all the lines between here
and Chicago and all told probably amount
to $50 600 day or more.
Now that is a vast sum OF money ana
my plan is to go after it. An air line
would reduce the mileage to less than $50
and with trains that could easily make
sixty miles an hour without any stops
the journey could be made in less than
six hours.
"I believe we could run four trains a
day each way for passengers and as
many freights as business demanded, say
eight and with that amount of equipment
could make money from the first day.
The preliminary survey for the line
has been made and it is as straight as
line can be. Our engineer says that it is
remarkable how little expensive work will
be necessary There is one place where
we will have to fill a depression for
about five miles and another where
it will be necessary to cut about the same
distance, but the liberal allowance. for
construction that we have set aside is suf-s
ficient to solve those problems.
'"The one thing that stands in the way
is the question of franchises. If these
can be secured reasonably the grading will.
commence as soon as spring opens.

The case is an unusual one. According
to the evidence offered against him at his
preliminary hearing, he with others was
playing poker on the night when the bur
glary was committed. He left the game
twice, and each time returned with more
money with which to continue In the
game. It was also ascertained that Ibis his

PASSAGE AT ARMS
Attorney Asks Railroad Man if
He Did Not Cheat

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Assertions that
witnesses were eyading questions and
were refusing to tell what they knew,
and that an attempt had been made to de-
.ceive the interstate commerce commits
sion as to the rates on coal shipments in
the West, were made today in the hear
ing Of two cases before Commissioners
YeomanS and Prouty.
One of the cases heard by the commits
sionerS was the proposed freight rate on
sugar which goes into effect Jan. 1, 1905.
The other investigation by the commits
SlonerS was the conclusion of hearing
begun by Commissioner Prouty in Ell Paso,
Tex, concerning the rate charged on coal
by the Santa Fe railroad against which
complaint was made by the Caledonia
Coal company. 1t was charged that the
railroad had Disseminated in favor of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
Freight Traffic Manager w. B. Biddle,
OF the Santa Fe, was the only witness
in this case and in questioning him con-
cerning the rates charged. Attorney N. B.
Field, for the Caledonia company, de-
manded that the commissioners force the
witness to answer certain questions.
In sending your tariff lists to the IN
terstate commerce commission. said At
torney Field, addressing Mr. Biddle. did
you not attempt to deceive the commits
sion concerning the facts?"
Mr.. Biddle refused to reply and his at
torney. Robert Dunlap, protested while
Commissioner Yeomans declared that the
matter had been all gone over once be-
fore. Attorney Field insisted that he was
attempting to bring out facts that would
show that the law had been violated.
'I am trying to find out if this witness
attempted to deceive the commission and
the public said Mr.. Field, ''but if the
commission rules against me am ready to
quit"
Turning toward Mr. Biddle, Attorney
Field asked:
Did you not write a letter to the Gale
donian Coal company informing them
that they could sell their coal to the Col
orado Fuel and Iron company or keep
it?'
The witness admitted having written the
letter, but places another Interpretation
upon it and declared that he did not mean
that it should be construed as the attor-
ney suggested.

At present taxes are comparatively

taxation many industries which are
contemplating coming into the state

the progress of Wyoming would be
