PROMOTERS Of
NEW RAILWAY
HERE
And Say that it is the Plan to
Connect Pensacola and
Mobile.

If the plans of the promoters Of the
new street railway materialize Pensa'
cola will be connected with Mobile by
electric railway. The franchise now
pending before the city council grant
ing to A A. Ericsson, A Steinberg and
others the right to build a street rail-
way along certain streets of the city
is the beginning of the project. A. A
Ericsson, who with A. Steinberg, was ip
the city yesterday looking over the
Beach Haven property, stated that the
connecting of the two cities by cleo
trio railway was one of the projects
being worked upon by his company
and that Mr.. Steinberg is to leave al
once for New York, where he intends
interesting capitalists, and while nc
promises are being made he is conf
dent the road would materialize.
Regarding the road for which a
franchise has been asked, Mr. Ericsson
stated that it was the intention Of tie
company to begin operations shortly
after the franchise Is granted, and that
he believed it would pass at the next
meeting of the city council. This
franchise gives the company the right
to enter the city in the western por
ton and run along Garden street tc
Alcaniz, thence south to Aragon, and
thence to a point where a turn south
will be made to reach the waterfront
It also grants the right to erect power
houses necessary to operate cars, ano
compels the promoters in acceptinf
the franchise to give a bond OF $1,0O(
to insure the building and operation
Of the road, and if its terms are MOI
complied with the bond will be for
feited.
Mr.. Steinberg, he said, was making
preparations for this end Of the bust
ness, and his business to New Yorl
was partly in connection with the 10
cal road and partly to interest CAPT
talists in the movement to connec
Mobile and Pensacola by an electric
railway.
The company owns the Beach Haver
property on Bayou Grande. whert
about 1900 lots have been sold t
parties in various sections of the coun
try, and which it is proposed to i'm
prove and connect with the city b,
electric railway.

Can Bat Ball Into Three States.

Probably in no other part of the

from which II is possible to bat a ball
into any one of three states, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. Such a
condition actually exists at the
grounds which have recently been leas-
ed for the KlOndike club at East Liver
pool. The diamond is laid out on n
lot which is known as the "state line
corner" IL batsman makes hit
over third base the ball will be sent
into West Virginia. Should foul tip
result the catcher would have to chase
the ball into Pennsylvania. If a straight
drive or a bunt is made the ball viii
bowl into the state of Ohio. Taking
advantage OF this freak of nature. the
Klondike club is going to advertise the
fact that its club will play ball In
three states simultaneously.

THEATER CAR FOR ACTRESS
Innovation to Allow Maude Adams to
Rehearse While Travelling.


Rehearse While Travelling.
1t is announced that Maude Adams,
the actress, Is to have a private Pull
man theater car, which when finished
will be the only vehicle of it's kind in
existence, says the New York Times.
The plan is to relieve the actress Of
some of the Inconvenience of one
night stands and long tours across the
continent.
The car when completed is to be a
combination of living apartments and
completely equipped theater for the
rehearsal of scenes and one act pieces.
1t will be known as the Tinker Bell
and will cost when fully furnished
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The need of such a car is said to
arise from Miss Adams wish for absO-
lutely private rehearsals while on tour
of a number of one act pieces which
she has long had under consideration.
In New York, and particularly ON the
road it Is sometimes hard to find on
short notice an available theater or a
clear stage for private rehearsals.
The stage part of the car will be
forty feet In depth and will have no
windows. Grooves for the scenery,
which will be admitted into the car by
sliding doors at the rear of the stage.
take up the usual window space. Day
light can be had, IL desired, through
ceiling windows.
According to the contract, the new
car is to be ready for the beginning of
Miss Adams tour next fall.

MUCK RAKE SPEECH OPINION
Corruption System to Blame More

Corruption System to Blame More
Than Individuals, Says Ste6ens.
Commenting upon President Roose-
yelt'S muck rake speech, Lincoln Stef-
fens, the magazine writer, says in an
article in an evening newspaper in
Cleveland, according to a dispatch
from that city:
IF it is understood, the presidents
muck rake speech will do good, but il
was misunderstood when it was first
delivered. That was at the speakers
dinner to the Gridiron club in Wash
ington, and the men who heard 1t then
statesmen. railroad men. bankers and
correspondents-al seemed to think
that the president had hit at the mag
azine writer.
And they rejoiced. Some of them
laughed at me, saying the president
had taken a fall out of me. But when
/ asked him about 1t the next morning
he said he didn't mean me. And he
told me some of those he did mean.
II disagree with the president only
on one fundamental point. He wants
us to go on hunting bad men, and he
shows that he means individuals. The
longer 1 live the more 1 feel that the
individual is not so much to blame
not even the worst individuals, not
even the best citizens-as the system
of corruption which has grown up
about us and which rewards an honest
man with mere living and crook
with all the magnif1cence of our mag
nificent modern life

VEHICLE FOR POLAR TRIP.
Auto Locomotive Mounted ON Spfrals
Invented by Minneapolis Men.

Auto Locomotive Mounted ON Spfrals
Invented by Minneapolis Men.
new plan to reach the pole was
neapolis Tribune. The vehicle to make
the dangerous journey is described as
an auto locomotive, and the inventors
are Charles E. S. and Frederick r.
Burch. A test of the workings Of the
device is said to have been made on
Lake Calhoun
The auto consists of four large spirals
disposed in pairs, forming trucks. Each
spiral has an opposite pitch to its fell
low, and so is disposed to rotate in an
opposite direction, thus engaging the
ice at different angles. Over these
trucks is constructed car to house the
explorers.
1t is the belief of the Burch brothers
that the vast stretches of the frozen
north are composed of practically
smooth ice, or .'rubble," as they call 1t,
and that their device easily can sur
mount these difficulties. They also
have proved, they assert, that the ma
chine can travel through soft snow of
considerable depth The model OF the
machine is alleged to have made eight
cen miles an hour over Ice and snow,
but no mention Is made of the fuel
used. Neither is any computation Of
fered as to the amount that would be
necessary to make the arctic journey
or the manner of housing it.
1t is said, however, that the machine
practically carves its own track, from
which it cannot deviate, and that, un-
like the automobile, it Is impossible for
it to 'skid.'" The Messrs. Burch have
combated the rigors of Alaskan ex-
ploration, and they say that their ex
periences in quest of mineral wealth
in frozen regions led to their Invention
and to the construction of a working
model They entertain no doubt what
ever that n machine built according to
their ideas easily would reach the
north pole or even the south pole were
1t desired
