new RAILROAD CHARTER
One for SIS, ZOO. 900 Between BelOit and
hearney, Nebraska.

A charter for new railroad with
100000 capital was granted today
by the state charter board, and the
road will be built between Beloit, Kan,
and Kearney, Neb.
1t will connect the present western
terminus of the Union Pacific at BeIoit
in northern Kansas with the Union
Pacific main line at Kearney, Neb,
and is supposed to be a Union Pacific
pany is the Dakota, Kansas & Gulf
and it will be about 10 miles long
The contract for the construction
work has already been let to the In
terurban Construction company of
New York, of which company Leslie
NJ. Shaw is president. This indicates
that there are some big financial in
terests backing the road.
The directors of the new company
are as follows:
F. T. Lock. New York city: Charles
E. Gardner, Troy, n. Y; F. P. Lar
mon, Troy, N. Y, G. n. Nay, Sandy

Beloit, Kan; H. Baer, Beloit. Kan.
There are no we'll known Union Pa
ciflc men in this list. but the fact that
shows that it is proba bly, a part of
some big railroad system.
The charter was secured by F. T
Burnham. a lawyer from Kansas CITY.
Mr.. Burnham formerly lived at BelN;t.
He paid into the state treasury the
sum of $1,577.50 in cash for his char
ter fee. He said:
II do not know anything about this
company except that 1 was instructed
to get the charter. I do not know who
is backing it except that it is a party
of New York men. am not informed
whether it is Union Pacific project or
not
Mr.. Burnham thought that it was
the intention to begin work on the
construction of the line at once
The Union Pacific made a survey of
the route between Beloit and Kearney
some time ago. it is said, and there is
not much doubt that the new company
will build on the Union Pacific surveys
The new line will extend northwest
from Beloit through Lebanon, Smith
county, and other points.

Miss Lee was for many years looked
upon as one of Mr.. Hammerstein's
leading singers and was known as the
Texas Patti Such critics as John
Philip Sousa pronounced her a remark
able singer. 1t now seems that Mr.
Hammerstein told and wrote her to the
effect that he would make a star of her
if she would let him be her manager.
She trusted him implicitly and a deep
friendship grew up between the two
which lasted for several years. At the
end of this time Miss Lee found she
was not a star and that she had lost
the best years of her life. when she
claims she could have made herself in
ternationally famous.
The case presents a rather unique
phase to decide whether it was pos
sible for Mr.. Hammerstein to have
made her a star and whether he is
legally liable for not having done so.
