WINCHELL DENIES THAT
FRISCO GOES TO HAWLEY

The st. Louis & San Francisco rail
road. including the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois and the Evansville & Terre
Haute, a total Of 6500 miles, is to be
operated and developed as an independ-
ent system, with headquarters IN Chi
cago and st. Louis, and not as a
part of Hawleya oakum merger of the
Frisco system, according to statements
made by B. l.. WInchell.
"All talk of n combination IN
which the Frisco is to take part is
foolish - he said. N'The Frisco will
be operated independently and Will be
developed in accordance with ITS own
conditions. The Frisco originates on
its own lines more tonnage per mile of
road than any system in the United
STATES. It has already acquired the st.
Louis, Brownsville & Mexico. which ex.
tends from Houston TO Brownsville,
Tex. and arrangements Will be made
to Obtain trackage rights connecting
tbc last named line with the main
line of the Frisco and forming Gulf
connection. -,
UOf1iccs of the Frisco system Will
be maintained both IN st, Louis and
Chicago, both for Mr.. Biddle, vice
president, in charge of traffic, and my
self The main office of the Frisco
proper will be in ST, Louis, rs at pres
emit but the main Office of the EASTER,
Illinois Will be continued IN Chicago. -"

ROCK ISLAND AND
HILL MAY COMBINE
Great Northener Said to Be
Playing MoOres and Hawley
Against Each Other.

1t is learned through private infor
nation received in Salt Lake from New
York city that there is rumor in Wall
street among certain high banking in
terests that J, J. Hill and the Moore
brothers may suddenly spring a new
transcontinental railroad system on the
public. consisting of the Lehigh Valley
from New York to Buffalo. the Wabash
from Buffalo to st. Louis and Kansas
City, the Rock Island from these two
cities to Denver, the Moffat road, with
the tunnel under James peak, to Salt
Lake, and the Western Pacific TO San
francisco, connecting the extended
l)eschutes road TO Portland, Ore, Puget
Sound, and even on TO Vancouver, B.
C., Canada
It is understood that Hill is now
playing the Moores, the Rock Island
Hawley and Yoakum, the owners of the
new Hawley system and the Frisco, re-
Gently divorced from the Rock Island,
with the object of securing three
things from one side or the other:
Entrance TO the Atlantic seaboard,
New York preferred; entrance to the
PaGltic at San Francisco, feeders to the
ttAii ~ Sltil III tuS AhlSSlsolHpl NdIISN as
far south rs the Gulf, with incidentally
entrance to Salt Lake.
Although the Moores deny any con-
nection between the Rock Island and
the Lehigh Valley, it is not in modern
rallroading to own disconnected lines,
and it is exceedingly unlikely that the
owners of the Rock Island would have
bought the Lehigh Valley unless they
had some way of connecting the two
roads. most probably by means of the
Wabash.
Given the Lehigh Valley, the Wa
bash and the Rock Island, the Moores
would end in Colorado, and be more
or less at the mercy of stronger lines
Hill ends in Chicago, reaching from
there to the Pacific: thus the two
would overlap each other by fully 1000
miles. and tap the same territory
in many central states The rumored
combination does not look unreason-
able

have come to appreciate what 1t means
to have a feet Ike this.
The lessons of the cruise have been
many and 1t is no eXaggeratlon to say
that the condition Of the ships today Is
better than when they started from
Hampton Roads In December of 1907.
During these fourteen months the fleet
has been practically self sustaining In
the matter Of repairs. The o1lcers and
men responsible for repairs have met
every test and the results provo that
the ships have been better cared for
than when they departed from the
navy yards
"Enlistments Will be stimulated by
the general interest In this cruise and
the splendid opportunities Afforded the

MURPHY HAS A NEW ATHLETIC
WONDER.

Philadelphia. Feb 6.-Mike Murphy
has made another ten-strike, according
TO all Indications. and collared an ath-
lcte who bids fair to make a great

member Is Ramsdell. a giant Texan,
who can run the 100.yard in 9a,5 gee
onds, cover the 220-yard In. 22 2-5 Sec
onds. run a good quarter and half, can
jump, and Is a great football player.
This great athlete is feet IN height,
and weighs 100 pounds, yet Is as agile
as cat He gets on the mark for a

the finish He is one of the finest
muscled athletes that have ever enter
ed Pennsylvania, and looks more like
a strong man than an athlete and
sprlnter
Ramsdcll entered the Junior class at
Pennsylvania this fall. but of course
he WAS not eligible to try for the Var
slty team, Mike Murphy. however.
took him over on the scrub team,
which Ia the especial delight Of the vet
eran trainer. The Texan at once set
the football coaches wild with his
great work Strong though the Penn
sylvania Varsity team was, 1t could
not begin to hold Ramsdell. and he
scored touchdowns daily. AT first he
knew nothing about kicking, but Coach
George Brooke took him In hand, and
before the end Of the season Rnmsdell
could almost hold his own with Hollen-
back
Now Ramsdell is still practicing
kicking under the tutelage of Brooke
and Hollenback. and from the steady
improvement he manifests he Is like
ly to be the star kicker OF the season
next year,
When Ramsdell gets loose on foot
ball field with his 100 pound of weight
and his l9second speed. he is going to
be dangerous man TO handle. In an
other year II Is believed that Mike
Murphy can mako Ramsdell cover the
100 yards In 8 3-5 seconds.
