Pennsylvania Roads Plans

Reports received yesterday in local
financial circles tended to show that
the Pennsylvania railroad would appear
as the controlling factor in the affairs
Of the Santa Fe much sooner than had
been expected. 1t was stated that at
the present time the Pennsylvania di-
rectors were mapping out a financial
campaign for contemplated betterments
and improvements on the Santa Fe.
The announcement printed yesterday
exclusively in The Call to the effect
that the Pennsylvania system was to
be extended to San Francisco through
the control of the Santa Fe was re-
Earded in California street as of vital
concern 10 the whole Pacific coast. The
event was compared in importance to
the construction of the Western Pacific
and the Panama canal
Attention was called TO the valuable
terminal facilities that the Pennsylva-
through the Santa Fe. There are in all
three frontages, combining all the ad-
vsntages that a great transcontinentaI
line would desire. There is the present
passenger terminal at Point Richmond.
the shops and auxiliary depot at Oak
land and the big local terminal of s5
acres at China basin.
It is the plan Of the Santa Fe to
double track its line from here to Chi
cago. The necessary assistance for this
great undertaking, it is stated, is to be
rendered by the Pennsylvania.
The growing alliance between the
Pennsylvania.and the Santa Fe has been
noted by transportation experts in east
ern cities. The Boston Transcript re-

Corona Club Members Make Up
{ Like Dead Statesmen in
Honor of Past Presidents


The Corona clubs past presidents
We're made the guests of honor at a
luncheon given yesterday and to their
surprise they found themselves attend
ed by the shades which had guided
them through their reign.
Mrs. Frank Dalton, Corona's first
president and founder, discovered that
George Washington, impersonated by
Mrs. w. B. Keith. had been her guild

Mrs. George Hanson; Mrs. John Bull
lock had been cared for by Abraham
Lincoln, who was Mrs. E. O. Bagot; Mrs.
George Fredricks shade was Roose-
welt, impersonated by Mrs James
Treadwell.
Each of the shades was cleverly
made up as the president she repre-
sented, the costuming being most real
istic. Washington wore the quaint
colonial costume; General Grant was
in full uniform and fuller whiskers and
caused the greatest amount of excite
ment as cigar had to be purchased
to make his appearance realistic, even
if it couldn't be smoked. and at a par
ticularly important moment the secre-
tary had to rush out and buy a bottle
of mucilage to put the little general S
mustache in place: Lincoln Garfield
and Mckinley wore conventional frock
coats and silk hats and the first two
wore whiskers: Cleveland wore a COM

his hat and his basket by his side:

and wore his khaki shooting clothes
and helmet. The facial makeup was
in each instance remarkably good and
caused much amusement.

necr Peary refuses to submit to the

chance of being sued by publishers

rear admiral of the line of the navy,
made the following statement for Pea
ry to the subcommittee of the house
naval committees:
Commander Peary and his friends
say that contracts signed months ago
with his publishers render it impossi-
BILE to make his records and scientific
data public now. 1t would not only
subject Peary to heavy damages, a
loss he cannot meet, having just eX-

in connection with his various eXpedi-
