COLLEGE CHESS
 TOURNAMENT

New York, Dec. 21.-Play in the in tercollegiate chess tournament began in this city today and will be contin- ued on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Expert chessmen of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia are rep resented, the visiting players being the guests of the latter university.
 The Triangular College Chess league. with which Cornell, Brown and the University of Pennsylvania are connected will hold it's annual tournament in the rooms of the Rice Chess club here next week. The tour ney will start on Thursday and will be continued through Friday, Saturday and the following Monday. Two play CTS constitute the team of each insti- tuition represented in the collegiate tournaments.
 Particular interest attaches to the Triangular meet because of the fact that Omar R. Mccoy of Brown and William H. Hughes of Pennsylvania, members of the two teams which tied for first place last year, will meet again this year. Hughes made a score of four straight wins in the last tournament. Eight tournaments have

CONGRESS- BIG MERGE
The Improvement of the Arkansas River From it's Mouth to Head of Navigation by Smuggling and Dredg. ing Is Planned.

The annual report of Capt W. D Connor, United States Engineering Corps, on the Improvements of the Ar kansas river and of certain other riy- CTS i'll Arkansas and Missouri, has come from the government printing office
 This district was in charge of Mai or Graham D. Fitch up to July 24, 1906, and since that time has been in temporary charge of Captain Connor. The division engineer was Lieut. Clin- ton B. Sears to July 16, 1906, and Col. E. H. Rnffner since that time The portion of the report dealing with the sArk .nsas river is as follows:
 sN%1n it's original condition the chan aeY aof the river was greatly obstruct- Gasxpy shifting sandbars and numerous snags in it's lower reaches, and by gravel and rock shoals and some snags in it's upper reaches Navigation was difficult and uncertain at medium and low stages, and during periods of ex- treme low water was impossible.
 Prior to act of Congress, approved June 13, 1902, the work on this river was carried on under two general pro. jects-one entitled Removing Obstruc- tion in Arkansas River, Arkansas and Kansas, sthe other Improving Arkan- SaS River ,ArkanSaS'
 'The original project for Removing Distractions in Arkansas River, Ar kansas and Kansas (act July 3, 1832) was to remove snags and wrecks. Sub sequently this project was enlarged to include removing bars by wing dams, and many of the appropriations were made for this work in combination with other rivers. By act of March ,, 1879, Congress adopted an addition al project-that of improving the riv- CT between Fort Smith, Ark, and Wichita, Kan, by removing the snags and rocks and constructing dams at some of the worst shoals. Later these projects were merged into one, mak- ing the project extend from the mouth of the river to Wichita. Under these projects there was expended to June 90, 1902, s96S,256.S1.
 The original projects for .Improv- ing Arkansas River, Arkansas were local and had in view the permanent Improvement of the river at Fort Smith, Van iBuren, Dardanelle and Pine Bluff By act of August II, 1888, Congress adopted a general project, namely, That the secretary of war shall expend the appropriation under this head with reference to the final improvement of this river as contem- plated in the report of the chief Of engineers for the year ending July l, 1885, and as authorized in the act for the improvement of rivers and harbors approved August ,, 1886, and in House Executive Document Mo- 90, Forty-ninth Congress, first session, said methods to be applied as the sec retary of war may direct at such points between Wichita, Kan, and the navigable mouth of the Arkansas riv-

electric Service SON
ON NEW YORK DIVISIONS
Railroad Official Says Stamford
Line WILDE Working in
September

In response to the report published
In the New York morning papers yes
terday that it will be several months
at least before the New Haven road
can operate all it's trains entering the
Grand Central station at New York
by electricity, a high official of the
company replies THE Stamford SER
vice win be established during the
month of September thus completing
the full electrical service"
The extension of the eleetrics east
ward to Stamford-it is now operated
only between Portchester and New
York city-will mark the opening of
the full length of the line, but the
main point which remains unanswered
is whether all the New Ravens trains
entering the Grand Central will be
hauled into the station terminal by
the electrics. At the present time,
with the road running electrics to
Portchester, none of the through
trains are being handled by the new
power, and the fact that the full
length of the electric line will be put
IN commission next month does not
necessarily imply that all trains will be
cared for by the new motor engines.
Yet, as there is much opposition in
New York to the continuation by the
New Haven of the use of steam loco

fast FREIGHT DERAILED
BERKSHIRE LINE BLOCKED
Crews Work All Day to Clean
the Line-Ten Cars
Ditched.

Traffic on the Berkshire division
was tied up all day yesterday, and the
local wrecking train, with crews,
worked since O'clock this morning
on bad wreck of the north-bound
express freight train, which went off
the rails at Still River, three miles be-
low New Milford, at 1880 a, M, by
the breaking of a wheel flange.
The car, in rounding a sharp curve
at this point, was thrown from the
track and ten freight cars, all loaded
with perishable freight from New
ork and two of them with Adams
Express company matter were sent
flying in all directions. The caboose
was also thrown from the track, but
no member of the crews was injured
One of the cars went flying up a
fifty-foot embankment and down again
into the ditch, turning on its side and
leaving its trucks
The regular crew, Conductor Stump
and Engineer Dwyer, were plotting a
new crew. Conductor Christmas and
Engineer Cooper over the route when
the smash-up occurred.
The cars leaving the track were on
the end of the train, the locomotive
and five cars remaining on the tracks
An English groom with fine horse
bound for Lenox, was in one of the
cars, but when the crew hurried to
him they found him asleep and the
horse unchanged.
The tracks were torn up for 100 feet
and were blocked all day. Wrecl5ing
trains from this city and Pittsburg are
working on the wreck. The tracks
and vicinity are strewn with freight
and express matter, much of which
will be a total loss.
