BIG RAIL PLAN
IS IN ABEYAhCE
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Pearson Syn
dicate To Secure Control of Lines
for Trans Continental System.

NEW YORK. July 29.-That the
Pearson Syndicate, which secured I'M
mense blocks OF stock In American
railroads for the purpose OF organic
ing new trans-continental system.
was not squeezed out and forced To
sell TO Kuhn. Loeb & Co., Is a state
ment made today by well-informed
financiers.
These authorities declare further
that the Pearson syndicate Is still ex-
tant and that Kuhn, Loeb q Co., has
merely identified itself with the syn
dictate In furtherance OF well-organ-
lied plan TO secure control OF tho
roads needed for the new system. The
immense block of stock taken over
by Kuhn, Loeb q Co., II Is said In
Wall-st., did not come from the. Pear
son syndicate, but from other inter
ests. Pearson Is said still to be In
the syndicate and still to hold an inn
mense block OF Rock Island preferred
which he will use In accord with the
plans formulated. including an alli-
ance with Kuhn, Loeb q Co.
IL is also said to be unlikely to as
sumo that Kuhn, Loeb a Co. ap-
peared in the deal for the first time,
merely to save the market. AS a
matter of fact, Wall-st. believes that
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. has long been iden-
titled with the foreign syndicate In its
efforts TO secure possession OF the
American railways needed for the
trans-continental line and has been

and It's foreign connections have taken
over immense holdings OF these
etecks, the owners OF which had TO

the market. IL Is also said that on
the break the l-affd- It's allies fc.
cumulated other large blocks OF these
stocks, which they will vote in har-
mony with those held by the Pearson
syndicate
II is said. furthermore. that the
syndicate now in control is not new
one, but the old one with important
new connections Percival Farquhar
is said to have become a member OF
the new syndicate, and II is under
stood that the original plans will
shortly be carried out.
The buying rally that started with
the announcement of the taking over
of the syndicate stock by Kuhn, Loeb

of the market today, stocks reaching

CITY OFFICERS
GIVE UP POSITIONS
W. B. Stratton Resigns From Build
ing Commission and Frank G. Bald
win Leave Beauty Board.

Mayor Breitmeyer announced, FRI
day noon, that he mad received and
accepted the designations of william
B. Stratton as q member OF the city
building commission and Of Frank G.
Baldwin as a member of the city plan
and improvement commission. The
designations have benin the mayors
hands since July IL, but he has with
held them In the hope that Messrs.
Stratton and Baldwin might be In
duced to reconsider their action. Their
successors have not been named as
yet. The mayor has several names
under consideration.
That the cutting OF the budgets of
the building and city plan and i'm
provement commissions by the com
mon council and the board OF esti-
mates had much to do with the resig-
nations is the general opinion In the
city hall. The latter commission was
cut of without penny, while the es-
Inmates submitted by the building
commission were deeply slashed. with
the result that the department has
been greatly hampered In its work.
One OF the first results was the resig-
nation of Chief Inspector Dalton r..
Wells. Mr.. Stratton now follows suit,
though the reason given by him as
well as by Mr.. Baldwin is that the
city charter prohibits them from en-
tering int0Any contract with the city
for professional services. Messrs.
Stratfon and Baldwin compose the
welf-knon firm of architects Of that
name, with ofices-ih the Ford build
ing.
In accepting tina designations,
Mayor Breitmeyer expresses the
keenest regret, and deep appreciation
of the services that have been rem
dered by these men In their respc-
tiv departments. He also announces
that he will recommend a charter
amendment that will enable business
men to serve on these commissions
without such sacrifice as Is now re-
quired.
Aid. William Gutman, chairman OF
the council committee ON ordinances,
which is now considering the build
ing code, expressed great surprise
when informed Of Mr.. STATIONS re-
signation.
HE has attended all the commit
tee sessions lately and has taken
great interest IN the discussions Of
the building CODE" said Gutman. He
is a valuable man and one whose SER
vices the city can hardly afford to
lose. -
The councils delay in taking up
the building code was undoubtedly
another factor In Mr.. STATIONS resig-
nation, for II is known that he had
been greatly annoyed by the dilatory
tactics. This together with the slash
ing OF the estimates during his alb
sence In Europe undoubtedly led to

DETROIT JACKIE DIES.
Frank Bourdan Stricken On Way to
See His Mother.

PORT HURON, Mich, July 20
While on his way home to see his
mother who, 1t Is said, lives on Lo-
cust-st., Detroit, Frank Bourdan, aged
Is years, died In the hospital yester-
day as the result of typhoid fever.
Bourdan was found in an unconscious
condition on the roadside on Twenty
fourth-st.. Wednesday night, and was
removed to the hospital. Since his
illness IL was learned that he had en-
listed In the navy and had served on
the battleship North Dakota, but that
he had secured his release and was

WYAND0TTE, FORD CITY AND D.
U. R. IN THREE-C0RNERED ROW
Curve IN Tracks NECESSARY and Each
Turn Would Have 1t In the
Other.

Judge Hosmer's court was the
scene of an animated discussion, FRI
day, when citizens OF Wyandotte APP
piled for an injunction restraining the
ID. U. r. from moving is tracks on
Biddle-ave. Attorneys and engineers
representing the ID. u. r. were pres
ent, together with several citizens Of
Ford City, and 1t soon developed that
the row is q three-cornered one, with
the ID. u. r. the least concerned.
Ford City recently started paving
its main street, and as result the
car tracks have been moved into the
center of the street from the south
side. This necessitates a curve at
the wyandotte line. as Biddle-ave IN
that city Is 100 feet wide, and only
&C feet In Ford City.
Without obtaining the permission OF
any one the ID. u. r. started several
days ago to put in the curve, and
when Wyandotte citizens learned
what was going on they drove the
workmen away with a fire hose. and
a man has been kept in the Job stead
lily ever since ready to drown out any
men the company put to work. Wyan-
dotte people claim the curve will
bring the track too near the curb and
create a death trap. They say, put
the curve in Ford where the street is
unused. Ford people say they won't
have any curves on their newly-paved

Other Reasons for Using Pure Bred
Boar.
Another advantage In the use OF
the pure bred sire Is the greater
uniformity OF the progeny. in size
form and color. The common hogs
of the South are such q mixture OF
blood lines that the types and colors
are, In fact, as varied as the imagi-
nation could well picture. The pure
bred hog is bred along pretty we'll
defined lines as to color and type or
form, and having been bred along
these lines for many years. his quail
ties are fixed and transmitted TO his
progeny: while the scrub or grade
has no particular color or type which
has been fixed by careful selection
and breeding.
The progeny are likely to take on
the qualities OF their ancestors in
certain more or less definite proper
lions and while the pure bred sire
and his ancestors theoretically rep
resent only so per cent OF the blood
lines. II Is we'll known fact tina,
owing to the uniformity OF the char
acters OF the pure bred sire for many
generations he exerts more than hall
the influence In determining the
qualities OF the progeny. when a pure
bred sire Is mated with a common OF
grade female.

o@ pure pred sire, the general
money value of pure bred boar was
pointed out. but the reasons for his
superiority were not fully stated. In
this article 1t may be interesting, as
well as useful, to briefly discuss
some Of the reasons why pure bred
boar gives much more satisfactory
results than the grade or scrub boars
so commonly used throughout the
South.
The progeny Of pure bred boar
is more valuable than that Of a
scrub because Of certain well-defined
characters which he possesses. The
popular belief is that this superiori-
ty of the pure bred animal is large
ly because he will make more pounds
OF growth-more live weight-from
a given quantity of feed. At times
and under some conditions this may
prove true. to limited degree: but
as a general proposition it is not true
and certainly is not the chief or
correct reason why the progeny of
the pure bred sire is superior to that
OF the scrub. AS a general propo-
sition 1t may be stated that one
healthy animal will produce about
as many pounds OF growth, or in
crease as many pounds In weight,
from given quantity Of feed as an
other, but this is in no sense equiva-
lent to statement that one animal
is as good as another. It is possible,
indeed, we think probable, that this
rule does not apply to the hog with
the same force and certainty as to
cattle; but we are still safe In stat
ing that any superiority in this re-
spect which the pure bred hog may
possibly possess Is not his chief claim
for displacing the razor-back or COM
mon scrub.
Why Good Hogs Bring Moro Per
Pound Than Scrubs.
1t is not denied that the pure bred
hog will grow faster and weigh more
at any age than the scrub, but he
usually eats and digests more to
make this greater weight 1t must
not be supposed. however. that this
more rapid growth is not a decided
advantage. At least three distinct
advantages result from this more
rapid growth Of the well bred hog.
The length OF time required to ma
ture the scrub adds greater cost to
capital invested. renders loss from
disease. cholera. etc.. more likely to
occur. and makes 1t often necessary
TO keep him over through regular
or natural winter periods Of high
priced or scarce feeds. The earlier
maturity OF the well-bred hog Is
enough to alone justify the use of
pure bred boars. IL there were no
other reasons.
The well bred porker will sell for
more than the scrub-not only more
for each animal. but more per pound.
live weight.
The reasons for this are simple
and plain. The well bred hog will
dress q larger carcass per hundred
pounds live weight. For instance,
the champion Berkshire barrows at
the recent International Show, dress
ed 88.2 per cent. while hogs OF in
ferior quality frequently do not dress
more than 60 to 70 per cent The
internal organs. legs, head, and other
parts OF low value. form q much larg-
er per cent OF the total live weight of

TOMMY BURNS WINS THE
AUSTRALIAN TITLE

Sydney. y. s. w. April II.-Tom-
my Burns won from Bill Lang the
heavy weight champion of Australia
in the twentieth round IN the fight
for the Australian title today.
T'ne decision was not popular, for
although Burns had the better of the
first ten rounds, he weakened in the
latter half. while Lang rallied. The
betting was three to one on Burns.
In tne sixth round Burns roughed
Lang through the ropes and he was
booted. Int Lang arose and shook
hands wit5 the American as the bell
rang.
In the ninth round Burns punished
the Australian severely. but the lat
ter fought back gamely. He made a
splendid rally in the twelfth.
In the last eight rounds Lang fought
cautiously. while Burns plainly weak
ened and forced repeated clinches.
Mcintosh gave the fight to the A
merican on points.
