Western Pacific Affairs.

THE Western Pacific has $500 900
stock outstanding. The Denver & Rio
Grande acquired s5O,O00,000, or two-thirds
of the entire issue. The Denver & Rio
Grande then deposited all of this stock
with the Bankers Trust company of New
York as collateral security for its re-
Gently authorized $15G 100000 bond issue.
That deal ties up the Western Pacific
stock so that no person or company can
secure a majority of it without acquir-
ing control of the Denver & Rio Grande.
Mr.. Hawley got into the Western Pa
cific through the acquisition by that COM
pany of the Alameda & San Joaquin Val
ley railroad, but he owns less than
S25,0000O0 stock, as that is all that is in
the hands of the public.
Edwin Hawley is reported in the east
as having either acquired a controlling
interest in the Denver & Rio Grande,
thereby getting control of the Western
Pacific, or has made an alliance with
George Gould
Last Novemb Der T. NJ. Schumacher of
the FL PasO q Southwestern railroad was
elected vice president of the Denver &
Rio Grande and Western Pacific and put
in charge of the traffic department of
both roads, and it is learned that he was
called east to confer with Mr.. HaWley

HAWLEY TAKES TWO 1
GOULD RAILROADS.
Report Says He Will Direct
Policy of Rio Grande and
Western Pacific.
DICTATES TO Mr.. JEFFERY
SCHUMACHER ALSO RECEIVES
INSTRUCTIONS.

Edwin Hawley, the railway magnate, is
reported to have secured control Of the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific railroads, and, according to Den
yer advices, is now in position to die
tate the traffic policy of both lines.
S. V. Derrah, traffic manager for the
Gould roads in this city, said last night
he knew nothing whatever of the re-
ported changes. 1t is admitted, he said
that the Missouri Pacific railroad con-
trolls the Denver & Rio Grande, and that
the latter is in control of the Western
Pacific, but what part Mr.. Hawley plays
in the control cannot be stated.
OF the reported important changes, the
Denver Times of last night said:
Edwin Hawley is said TO have secured
important holdings in the Denver & Rio
Grande, and is now declared to be in
position TO dictate the traffic policy of
that road and the Western Pacific.
1t has been confirmed officially that
Mr.. Hawley is a large stakeholder in the
Western Pacific, but his holdings in that
road are not sufficient to give control.
His domination of affairs in the Western
Pacific is declared to be due to the ac-
QUESTION of stock in the Denver q Rio
GTande, and his position is said to be so
strong that he recently named a vice
president for the Denver & Rio Grande
and Western Pacific over the head of
President II. T. Jeffrey.

WANT THE SALTA|R
DISPUTE SETTLED
Commercial Club Governors
May Try to Arbitrate Con-
corning Franchise.
POSTPONE SPENDING Cash
RESORT OWNERS PREPARED TO
INVEST $1,5oo,ooo.

Feeling the general desire upon the
part of the public of Salt Lake and
Utah for an electric road between the
city and the great bathing resort at
Saltairs the Commercial club board Of
governors may take action within a
few days seeking to bring the mana
gers of the resort and the members
of the city council together upon some
equitable basis.
AT the present time, as a result OF
The breach between the council mem
bers and proprietors of the resort, it
Is feared that the negotiations for an
electric railway franchise will be sti-
fled and that the same steam method
Will be used in the future. General dis
approval OF the present situation has
been felt, and it was announced last
night that within a few days action will
be taken by the Commercial club and
other bodies in Salt Lake looking to a
compromise between the city and the
Saltair management
The Saltair franchise matter will
likely go before the city council Mon
day night on a report from the council
as a committee of the whole, which met
Wednesday night.
Franchise Not Satisfactory.
At this time J. E. Langford, vice pres
ident and general mana ger of the Salt
air Beach company and of the Salt
Lake & Los Angeles Railway COM
pany, better known as the Saltair road,
declared negotiations might as well
come to an end because of the apparent
attitude of some of the ccouncilmen in
trying to dictate how the road should
be managed, the terminal, the style and
model of cars and the fare to be
charged.
1t has been stated by Mr. Langford
and Joseph Nelson, president of the
road, that the fare would remain al 25
cents for the round trip to Saltair but
he objected to the city trying to place
this in the franchise on the ground, as
he said last night that 1t was a matter
over which the city should not have
control.
Idea of electrifying the railroad to
Saltair." said Mr.. Langford last night
Dut the matter is up to the city coun-
ell But we do not care to have
franchise which viii regulate our bust
ness matters IF the county had speci-
fled the rate to be charged in the
county 1t would have been a different
matter But the city has not this right
we think. We do not think it fair, and
90 not propose to have them to tell US
what kind of station we shall build or
where to put 1t up, or where to buy our
cars. We can attend to our own af-
fairs
"Of course, we intend to build
IIaStlOh terminal StauOn IN the heart
of salt Lake, and one which will be a
credit to the city. In purchasing ma
teflaI and rolling stock for the road
we would get the newest and most
modern to be purchased In this day
the best must be purchased in starting
a new road. We had intended spending
more than a million and a half Of del
lars on the road above what we have
spent now. We want to make the road
a model In all particulars, but we must
be allowed to run our own business af-
fairs"

Elena Rivers.

Lena Rivers" the "play that made
Beulah Poynter famous was presented
at the Bijou last night with Miss Rosa
lind Lee in the title role. Miss Lee ac-
quits herself admirably as Lena, both as
child and as the woman. She fully
equals the work of Miss POINTER, who
was seen several times in that role.
The part OF Lena Rivers gives many OPP
portunities to win the hearts Of the audi
ence, Lena has many loydbe traits,
but the part requires an actress of
strength and personality 10 fill 1t ade-
quately. These qualities Miss Lee pos
sesses in a remarkable degree. In mo-
ments of patnos she can be so pathetic
and when comedy Is required Miss Lee
Is equally proficient.
Miss Lee is supported ly a strong
cast that could be improved In spots
but which, On the whole. Is good. The
work of e. r. Stanley as John Living
ston ranks next to that Of Miss Lee.
Mr. Stanley portrays the typical south
ern gentleman and does 1t in such a
manner that a dozen just IKE him could
be pointed out on the streets of Bifming
ham any day in the week. He has none
of the familiar mannerisms of the So
called southern gentleman, Re does uot
carry a flask in his left hnd pocket or
breezy fashion that is SO prevalent on
the stage. In short, he Is what he IS
a gentleman
The work of Clifton Steelsmith as Joel
Slocum deserves favorable mention. Mr..
Steelsmith is the comedian and furnishes
the laughs, which he does in a. goodiy
number. NJ. Steelsmith has many little
mannerisms that are very laughable. Miss
Myna Ketchum as Caroline Livingston
does acceptable work in the feavy role OF
the play All of the remainder OF the
company do well but are hardly up to the
standard set by the others
The play is a dramatized version of the
famous novel. of the same name. The
dramatization Is done by Miss Beulah

AMUSEMEN rs
.rhc Other Woman"

blanche Walsh Is decidedly a favor-
tie with Birmingham theatre-goers, as
evidenced by the packed houses whlch
greet her at every engagement mere
In point of attendance her appearance
last night at the Jefferson was no ex-
ception. and her curtain calls We're as
numerous as ever
Always choosing a problem play to
exhibit her undisputed talent MISS
Walsh has not departed from her Gus
tom this season. THE other woman
is the same problem play with the
same dark brown taste, observing all
the unities of time, place and lack OF
action. The problem is that OF mar
rage and affinity or love after mar
rage, and the logical conclusion ar
rived at is that the Man and the 9th
err Woman were wrong in loving each
other, and the Wife was right In be-
ing Jealous. There are two hours OF
tears and heart throbs before the con-
clusion is reached. and the audience
seems to enjoy the strain.
Mill Walsh, of course, was the 9th
err Woman who seemed to get most
of the sympathy for her martyrdom
in giving UP the Husband after the
thing had gone almost too far. George
w. Howard was excellent as James
Harrington, the husband, while the
role of Mrs James H. was quite sat
fsfactorily handled by Miss Nanette
Comstock. The fourth of the central
characters in the play was Mrs. Harriet
varnum, friend of Eleanor Gates, the
"other woman" whose delightful pro-
divorce remarks furnished the comedy
for the play. Miss Nellie Butler played
the part in an able manner.
The entire action of the piece takes
Mace within three hours on an evening
late in March. Mrs. Eleanor Gates, an
artist. Is In love with James Harring-
ton. husband of Mrs. James Harring-
ton. who wonders what has been the
matter with Jim of late. Not knowing
the lady artists interest in her hus-
band, Mrs. Harrington comes to the
studio with a request that portrait
of her child, who diOd in infancy, be
painted. she confides her domestic trou-
bles to Mrs. Gates, and declares she
intends making the portrait present
to her husband, in the hope that she
may win back his love through mem
DRY of the child. An hour later Mrs.
Gates appears at Mrs Harrfngton's
home with her regrets that she has not
time to undertake the painting. Mr..
Harrington happens unexpectedly in,
but manages to conceal his agitation.
At 7. p. M. an hour later, Mrs. TIar-
rington again comes to Mrs. Gates
studio, looking for Mr.. Harring on and
sympathy from Mrs Gates. Mr.. H. is
also there. but Is hidden In an alcove,
which Mrs II. does not discover until
she finds his hat and overcoat in the
studio Then she learns all, and has a
hard time believing that Mrs. Gates
meant to send Mr.. Fl. back to her,
anyway Mr.. and Mrs H. are rather
reluctantly reunited and the Other
Woman is left sobbing as the curtain

Touchdown
THE SCORE STOOD SO TO 0

Thirty-three to nothing was the score
of rather one-sided football exhibition
yesterday afternoon at West End park
when Birmingham High school played a
complete ciiule around the Howard col
lege reserves. The reserves had their
prep, school opponents outweighed by
something like five pounds to the man,
and were simply outplayed in every
point of the game. 1t was Il demonstra-
ton of what scientific coaching can do
when matched with mere Drawn on the
football siel1.
Towards line, to be sure, was stronger
than High schools, but the High school
boys didn't have to depend on buckins
End runs were made with apparent ease
by Zielninskl and Goldstein, the High
school halves, and Wingo, the plucky lit
tie quarte.. whose playing was a feature
of the entire game.
Zielminsk started the fireworks in the
first minute of play with a brilliant i5-
yard run for the first to lohdown, and
Wingo and Goldstein made numerous
sprints in the course of the game for dr.
tances of Is yards or more. Beautiful in

gains possible.
Six touchdown were made by High
school, three secured by Zielminski, two
by Wingo and one by Poe. Three goals
were successfully kicked by Wingo, net
ting the total of 80 points.
The Howard boys deserve credit for
hard work, but they were outclassed and
seemed to know it from the start. Nc
Quorquodale, at right half, did good work.
especially in one forward pass execu-
ton, and Kelley, at quarter. was also
good. Nothing was accomplished by the
entire eleven, however, and there was
little glory for the players individually.
Other men who showed up especially
we'll for High school were Neville. who
Green, at right tackle and Barker at
full. All the boys in fact, worked like
Trojans, even in the final quarter when
there was nothing to be feared.
The boys on the side line and the young
ladies' in the bleachers aided much in
the victory for High school, while The
Howard bows were at a disadvantage In
having little encouragement Support Is
about three-fourths victory in sucn
a game and the boys in red and white
seemed to appreciate it.
On the whole the exhibition was well
worth seeing. Such team as the High
schools can put up a game on a Par
