Another RumOr of Deal for Con-
troll Of Katy Road.
This Time 1t Is Reported Ed
win Hawley Has It.
NOT YET CONFIRMED.
Plans Now Reported to BE Made
With Alton.
Other Items Of Interest in
Railway Circles.
NOT YET CONFIRMED.

There have been so many rumors OF
deals for the NJ. K. & T. that the public
has become skeptical of them. In fact
those who are on the inside do not be-
lieve that the Katy is on the market,
although it might be possible for Hill
Hartman or some other railroad stock
manipulation to secure enough of the
stock to control it in the interest Of
some other road. But so far there is
no indication that any large block of
the Katy stock has changed hands and
certainly not sufficient to indicate any
change in the management. The COM
pletion Of the Panama canal will add
greatly to the value of the M. K. & 7.
as a freight carrying road, giving the
most direct communication between
the gulf coast and the great cattle and
agricultural territory of Texas, Okla
homa, Missouri and with its feeders
into the wheat belt of Montana and
the DakotaS, and the commercial CEN
terS of Chicago, Kansas City and st.
Louis, and reaching still farther into
the milling centers of Minnesota. This
is the future of the NJ. K. & 7. with the
completion of the Panama canal, and
the following regarding another deal
will be interesting although little cred
ence is given the following from the
Manufacturers Record which says:
According to a press report, which
has not been confirmed, Edwin Haw-
ley. who recently sold the Colorado &,
Southern lines to the Hill interests, has
secured control of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railway, which it is said
would also be of great value to the Hill
system. The Katy connects st. Louis,
Hannibal and Kansas City, Mo, with
San Antonio and Galveston, Texas. via
Fort Worth, Dallas and Denison.
Texas. There is a branch to Shreve-
port, Louisiana another to Wichita
Falls, Texas, still another to Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, and one to Junction
3,1OO miles of line. A. H. Johne is
chairman of the board and president
The directors includes James n. Wal
lace, of New York; Myron T. Herricl,
of Cleveland, Ohio; Charles G. Hedge,
of New York; A. w. Smithers, of Lon
don, England; Henry W. Poor, of New
York; H. J. de NJ. Oyens. of Amster-
dam, Holland; James Hagerman, of St.
Louis; ]. Brown Potter of New York;
I. B. Stevens, of Parsons, Kansas; A.
J. Poor. of Chapman, Kansas and 9TH
ers, including several officers of the
road.
while it is intimated that Hill and
Hawley contemplate establishing a
new route to the gulf by way of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas. it may be
that if Hawley has acquired the road II
will be used in connection with the
Chicago & Alton and other Hawley
properties, including the Chesapeake &
Ohio which he lately secured, all OF
which united would give a route from
the Atlantic ocean through the middle
west to Kansas City and the Gulf

Nothing Extraordinary

Johnnie Payne tells of an American
tourist hailing from the west, who was
out sightseeing in London. They took
him aboard the old battleship Vic
tory. which was Lord Nelson's flag
ship in several of his most famous
naval triumpIls. An English sailor es-
corted the American over the vessel
and coming to a raised tablet on tbs
deck. he said, as he reverently re-
moved his hat:
ERE. sir. is the spot where Lord
Nelson fell"

To Destroy Airshfps.

The war department is devising
plans for making an attack on bal
looms and flying machines. The work
is being done under the direction of
Gen. Grozier, chief of ordnance. For
the purpose of obtaining gun which
can shoot at aerial craft without hav-
ing the recoil drive the gun into the
ground, experiments will be made
soon at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds. Though there are many
other difficulties to overcome, the re-
coil Is the first and has been deemed
the most important, because the other
information cannot be obtained until
gun carriage can be made which
has provisions for the recoil. 1t is
believed such a carriage has been de-
vised and it will be tried as soon as
possible. The working model of the
gun carriage which will prevent a
gun from being smashed at each fir
ing has been perfected.
The balloons and airships have
made it necessary for the artillery
men to work out a new set of mathe-
NAUTICAL tables for firing at the sky
craft. They have tables which show
almost at a glance how to sight their
guns so as to hit a ship at sea five
miles away. Whether the vessel is
moving or stationary makes little diff
ference to the artillerymen. With their
range finders and mathematical tables
they can tell how to sight their guns
and make wonderful records as
marksmen. Shooting on an almost
horizontal line and on an almost YER
teal line, however, are so different,
from an artillery point of view, that
it has been necessary to work out
new system both in regard to find
ing distances and angles
Much of the theoretical mathema-
teal work has been done by the artil-
lery officers to whom It has been in
| trusted; but it remains for actual tests
such as will take place at Sandy Hook
| to demonstrate the accuracy of their
work. The war department will be-
i gin it's experiments with guns of the
i field battery type. 1t is expected the
! old-fashioned shrapnel will be used
| Time fuses, also will be employed sc
that fragments will puncture the gas

Although the river is rising rapidly
from the spring rains there is not the
least feeling of insecurity among the
people of the First ward. Since the
dikes have been tested and have
made good" so many times since they
were built IN the spring of 1909, it
now scarcely seems possible that their
efficiency was ever doubted.

recent writer he is made response

New York. March 1O.-The report
of the New York charter commits
sion, Just made public, propoecs
few fundamental changes in the old
charter. 1t is proposed TO abolish
the board of aldermen, and in its
place create council of thirty-nine
members to serve without pay. The
council will have large ordinance
making powers, but will have no con
troll over the administrative business
fo the city, or over franchises. IL
will have the right to veto specific
appropriations in the budget, and
will make the tax levy. Altogether
much broader grant of legislative
power is vested in the council than
the board of aldermen enjoyed.
Much will be accomplished, the
commission believes, toward sint
plifying the complex financial sys-
TEN OF thee ity, and doing away with
much cXtravagant and unnt cesSary

of estimate and apportionment the

of the city, with complete control OF

will continue to be made up Of the
