CHANGES CONTEMPLATED.
New Plans and New Schedules on
Southern Railway.

Several important changes are said to be
contemplated in the management of the
Southern railway under the administration
of President Finley. 1t is added that these
new plans may be made early in January.
Included among the changes it Is reported
that there will be new schedule for pas
senger trains, putting them a basis Of
slower speed. Owing to the crowded con-
dition of some of its single track lines and
the extensive double track work and re-
vision of grade now going on along the COM
pany's lines, it has been found difficult to
maintain the schedules of some of the pas
senger trains. 1t is believed by the COM
pany that by revising this trains can be
kept on time and greater satisfaction can
be given. This improvement in the pas
senger train movement will naturally result
in an improvement in moving freight trains.
1t is also said the officials of the Southern
are arranging to shorten its operating di-
visions. increasing the number from four
teen to twenty-seven, each in charge of a
superintendent. Old employees will be pro-
NOTED to fill the new places thus created
This arrangement, 1t is believed. will bring
about increased efficiency.
In these arrangements the Southern, ac-
cording to President Finley, is making
effective the policy initiated by the late
President Spencer.
President Finley to New York there Is an
Interesting report current to the effect that
when he returns to Washington he will
bring with him the announcement Of the
selection Of the new second vice president Of
the Southern railway. The name of Mr.
J. M. Culp, third vice president, is most
spoken of as President Finley's successor
but it is said that several men not now
connected with the road are being con-
sidered. Who they are has not been dis
closed. Before President Finley left he was
asked if he would issue call for meeting
of the board of directors while he was in
New York, and replied that "he did not see
why the directors should be called to-
gether so suddenly.
Another report is that the selection of
the second vice president will be influenced
mainly by j. P. Morgan. Rumor has 1t
that Mr.. Morgan had the presidency of an
other railroad system in view for the
Southerfl's new executive, who is regarded
as one of the railroad men of the country
closest TO the great financier.

BASE BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS

who may or may not be the great third
baseman he used to be. while the condition
of Criger will also count a great DEAL BOs-
ton could also use live pitcher and the
outfield is an uncertain quantity.
Comiskey, of course. has a stand-pat
team, but could utilize a heavy-hitting out
fielder. He has less cause to worry than
most of his rivals. only the discovery of
marvellous young batsman can give any
of his rivals real edge upon him. Cleve-
land would like Stahl for first baseman,
but, with ROssman gone. need not worry
Stovall can cover first if need be. and can
bat. Cleveland has nothing to fret about
If the team could only keep intact through
out the season-something that has so far
seemed impossible.
Detroit now has first baseman in Ross
man, strong outfeld, and fairly capable
all-round makeup. One more pitcher of
the winning stripe is what the Tigers most
require New York would like to get a
winning left-hander, and one more out
fielder, of the smuggling variety. :. .ouis

will get Delehanty from the Reds. Given

need ask no odds from any of them.

DOUGLASS TO
CAPTAIN THE MlDDIES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, December 15.-The mem
bers of the Naval Academy foot ball team
at a meeting he. last night, elected Archi-
bald II. Douglass, the star haifback and
crack athlete of the institution, to captain
the team in 1907. Besides his personal ath-
letic prowess; Douglass is believed to have
the markings of a great leader, and the
choice Is generally approved.
Douglass formerly played on the foot ball
team of the University of Tennessee. and
won the reputation of one of the best play
ers in the south at that institution. He
played foot ball at the Naval Academy dur
ing his first year-19O4but broke his leg
early In the season in the game against
Princeton. The injured leg was not skill
fully treated and Douglass did not play
again until toward the close of last season.
However, he got in the last part OF the
game against the Army at Princeton, and
scored the Nays touchdown in that game,
which resulted 6 to g.
This season he started with the squad
about the first of November, and played the
whole of the Army game. His long. we'll
placed punts and fine defensive work did
much toward winning that game, and In
the latter half he made some excellent
gains with the ball.
Douglass is good base ball pitcher, one
of the strongest me min the academy, an
excellent student and the president of his
class,

Decaying French Fisheries.

st. Pierre and Miquelon and five lesser islets

Its populate in 1908 was some $780, out

these islands.
