GOULD'S WABASH PLAN
CONTRACT AWARDED MEANS

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTSMOUTH. Va, August 2S.-Ever
since the Wabash railway was first
extended eastward rumor has been rife in
transportation circles hereabouts to the eff
fec, that Gould would build a railway line
into this port. When he purchased the West
ern Maryland and 1t was announced that
this road would be connected with tine main
line of the Wabash east OF Pittsburg and
that Baltimore would be the principal ter
minus. II was believed that the plan had
been abandoned.
Upon the heels of this development.
however. came the purchase OF terminals
on both sides OF the Elizabeth by the Tide
water railway. Its acquisition OF a right-ot-
way and the actual letting OF contracts for
the construction in the first one hundred
miles from this port.
Wabash Scheme Behind Plan.
IT now develops that Mr.. Gould with his
Wabash scheme is behind this plan and
that with the Tidewater he will carry his
war against the Pennsylvania interests into
Africa. The Pennsylvania is the dominat-
ing factor In the Chesapeake and Ohio ana
the Norfolk and Western railways. which
constitute the principal connections of this
port with the coal fields and with the west.
The Tidewater tapping the coal deposits
OF the fOCalOntAS region ana CoTncCliiS
ultimately with the Wabash. will give this
port a third line of communication with
the mines and the eastern commercial CEN
tiers.
1t is believed that this cannot but result
In the greatest good to this port, whose ex-
port trade has been diverted to other
places.
Since the Pennsylvania took over the two
great trunk line feeders from the west. the
single commodity that has not been diverted
is coal. and the coming of Tidewater will
have tendency to cheaper this product
and make the port moro popular with the
shipping.
Contract Awarded.
1t has always been known that there were
powerful interests behind the Tidewater
which, in connection with the Deep Water.
will form link from PortsmOuth-Norfolk
to the great lakes and when the Wabash's
link to the Pacific. the contract for which
was yesterday awarded. Is completed, this
city will be one of the eastern termini or
the greatest inter-oceanic railway systems
In the world.
The resignation of Major Frank K. Hugar
