DELIVER Big new
GRAIN ELEVATOR
Largest Of Its Kind Will
Handle 10000 Bushels
of Grain an Hour

The floating elevator, ordered by the
Pennsylvania railroad to facilitate the
movement of grain shipped TO Philadel-
phia for export. has been completed by
the Harlan and Hoilingsworth Company
and was turned over to the company to-
day. The vessel viii be taken to Philadel-
phia at once and placed in service.
Plans for the elevator were drawn by
the motlfe power department of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The elevator is the
largest Of its kind I'm this section. 1t has
a capacity Of 10000 bushels Of grain an
hour. It is equipped with electric lights
and the highest grade of pumping and
auxiliary machinery The towers are 20
fec tabovc deck. thus making il possible
rapidly to load TO any modern freight
steamship. The length over all is 9S feet
G inches
The custom in philadelphia IS for the
railroads to deliver grain direct to the
line steamships. This lighterage is per-
formed free Of charge TO the shipper. al
though the aggregate expense to the rail-
road in the course Of year is large
II is the expectation that the use of this
elevator will provide facilities for hand
ling promptly a greatly increased grain
movement from the port and will obviate
the delays which have been encountered
in past years I'm the bagging and delivery
of grain TO ships. An idea Of the devel-
opment of this business can be gathered
from the fact that during last year the
total exports of grain from Philadelphia
were 21.i17,OOO brHels. against 20O55. .2s2
bushels in 1906 and G.sS9 iO7 in 1904 In 1907
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone handled
i'm Philadelphia 1S.00O0O0 bushels. nearly 81
per cent. Of the total, and OF that NUM-
Der 100000 were lightered.

.EAGAN'S FRANCHISE
PLOT IS UNMASkfD
Announcement of Personnel OF
"Backers" Does Not Mean
They Are Interested
Officials of United Railroads
Show Unusual Activity in
Petition of Promoter

The mask has at last been stripped
from the ambitious street railway fran
chise project OF John ]. Eagan and ne
stands revealed as a scheming promoter
and his proposition as plot to wrest
from the people for practically nothins
rights of inestimable value.
With a blare of trumpets. Eagan, on
the eve OF election, has announced the
personnel of his mysterious backing
Inquiry shows that he possesses merely
the assurance of certain interests ina
they will consider his enterprise should
he be able to carry his point at the
election. However, the application and
the terms of the grant are legally
faulty In so many particulars that the
firm of lawyers which Eagan claims
among his hackers could have had no
hand in the procedure
Eagan gave out the information yes
terday that he was the representative
of a syndicate of capitalists headed by
John ID. Lindsay of the New York law
firm of Nicoll. Anable & Lindsay Eagan
announced further that the Carnegie
trust company of New York would
serve as trustee. This sounds well, but
it does not mean that the company
named will do more than act as agent
for bond holders, If there ever are any.
In order to give the attempted grab
the appearance of a strong financial
enterprise. Eagan appended list OF
the directors of the Carnegie company.
In short. Eagan has endeavored to
blow a financial bubble to shed fam
tastic lights upon very brazen
scheme. The only promise OF eastern
support that Eagan possesses is con-
tanned in a letter from the men he
mentions. in which they merely ex-
press a willingness to consider such
proposition as he may be able to make.
And the promoter will be able to make
no proposition. for his application will
not receive enough votes to give il
dignity.
OFFERED LARGE SUMS
In the first place. Eagan has con-
| fessed TO representative men of San
| Francisco that the project is one out
| OF which he hopes to net $15,000,00
He plans to get from the people rights
| of way for streetcar lines over 240
| miles OF public thoroughfares and sub
way privileges for a network of tunnels
as diverse as the Spring Valley distrib-
uting system. In his eagerness to OBJ
| tain the cooperation Of the labor coun-
Gil. which twice refused TO indorse his
| scheme, he has offered to individual
| labor leaders large sums of money 20
use their influence in his behalf. These
offers have been promptly rejected.
! Eagan has hawked his scheme over
/ the country. trying 10 find q buyer
| for the franchises he hopes TO get y
| has turned broker, dealing in municipal
privileges worth millions Of dollars
| which he aspires to obtain with almost
no cost to himself and then to sell for
| their real worth.
] Eagan is not particular. He will
