WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-In the null

in Washington today the feature that
stands out in bold relief is the fervent
or more than cordial reception accorded
Richard A. Ballinger. secretary of the
interior, when that member of Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet entered the home
of Representative Longworth this aft
ernoon. When Roosevelt's eyes fell
upon Secretary Ballinger the colonel
seemed to become suddenly bereft of
all memory or cognizance of anything
or anybody except the smiling face of
the approaching cabinet member. The
greeting accorded Ballinger by Roose-
Welt was more than warm. 1t aston

a craning of necks, and all eyes and

Claim Long Dormant

The claim of the United Railroads
to these old franchises lay dormant for
years and was first brought to light
early this year in support of the Horace
Platt suit to enjoin the sale of Geary
street bonds. Judge Ellison of Tehama
county. who heard that case refused
an injunction and the bonds have been
sold
To set at rest judicially any claim the
United Railroads considered it had to
the five blocks in question, suit was
instituted by the state to declare the
franchises forfeited. The corporation,
in a demurrer. argued by Tirey L. Ford
for the defendants, and by Assistant
City Attorney Steinhart for the state,
contended that quo warranto proceed
ings were not the proper method of
forfeiting a charter for nonusage.
The complaint set up that the United
Railroads had never made use Of the
franchises. If that were so, Attorney

Tolstoy suffered several serious at

In the early morning hours these fol-

quickly relieved.
Between the first and second attack
the members of the family were ad-

Tolstoy's condition after each attack
was what the attending physicians
called "deceptively encouraging"
The patient slept for a little while
seemingly breathing more comfortably

NEW RAILROAD

For several weeks, perhaps,
before any of our citizens had
any idea Of it, the promoters of
the l.. x +. Il. X. had been
looking toward extending their
line from Jackson, Breathitt
county, on into the heart of the
real coal fields. Now, that the
right Of way for said road has
been practically secured, word
has been passed along the line
assuring us that the river route
has been selected and that a
contract for the building of the
road will be let not later than
october Is, of this year, TO be
finished in two and a half years.
If the railroad is built, and
every indication is that il will
be, Letcher, Perry, Knott and
Pike counties are destined in
the very near future to become
the greatest industrial section
in the entire South, perhaps il
