FINA NCIAL AGENT FOR
SOUTHERN TRACTION co.
Walter NJ. Waskom OF Dallas Is Ap-
pointed to Position Above
Named.

Walter NJ. Waskom of 500 Scol- |
lard building has been appointed !
special financial agent for Dallas by !
the Southern Traction company. MI
Waskom's appointment marks the
beginning of the closing chapter In
the company's financial plan.
j. F. Strickland, president, is au-
thority for the statement that all
preliminary arrangements have been
made and that the work of construc-
ton will commence as soon as the
towns which will be benefited by the
road have subscribed to their quota
! of stock The subscription is well
under way along the line and is now
for the first time offered here. 1t Is
| certain that ground will be broken
in six places simultaneously by the
end of December, probably earlier,
and cars will be running eighteen
months after work is commenced,
The total length of the road will
be about 1874 miles Starting at Dali
las, it viii run to Hutchins. Wilmer
and Ferris. There it will diverge.
one to Waco. by way of Rocket,
Waxahachie, Forreston. Italy, Mil
ford, Hillsboro, West, Elm Mott and
Days Lake; and the other through
Trumbull, Palmer, Garrett, Ennis
Alma and Rice to Corsicana.
The territory to be served is one
of the richest and best populated sec
lions in the state. Exclusive of the
city of Dallas, it shows a total Of
135,115 persons, or I ,00S per mile
Judging from the results along the
line of the~interurban from Dallas to
Sherman, this population is expected
to increase to / ,127 per mile within
two years after the road has been
put in operation These estimates are
made by the Fred A. Jones Company,
whose judgment in the case of the
Sherman-DalIas interurban has been
more than borne out by the facts.
The building of the road will mark
the beginning of a new era for the
towns affected Limited and local
service will bring into close touch
communities that now depend on a
somewhat meager railway schedule,
and it is even contemplated to oper-
ate sleeping cars between Denison
and Waco These will, of course, use
the tracks of the Texas Traction com
pany from Denison to Dallas.
The Southern Traction company
will be controlled and operated by
Texas capital, as is the Texas Trac-
ton Company News.

Attorney D. J Murphy of Wauke-
gan, Iowa, is attending district court

suit for partition of property MT.
Murphy says that while his state is
strongly republican be believes the
democrats will win in the national
election next year. He said if the
party would adopt the right kind OF
a platform and nominate the right
man there is no reason why the next
chief executive should not be a dem
ocrat.
This is Mr.. Murphy's first trip to
Texas He had never seen a cotton
gin in operation, and this afternoon
he was shown through one OF the
biggest plants in the city by District

Blackhand Letters
to Crete Men Sent to
Postal Authorities

CRETE, Neb., Dec. 22.-(Special Tele-
Black Hand letters
have been received by Mayor Dredla of
Crete, as we'll as by Joe spirk and Frank
Osborn, negro hack driver. Rev. Mr..
Huntington also received an anonymous
letter, but it contained no threats as the
others did, and is not considered seri-
ously. The threat against the mayor was
OF the worst character that of dynamite,
The following is the letter to him:
Mayor Dredla. You are here notified
to get Niger Frank out of Crete within
three weeks time, IL not your house VIII
be dynamited and the undertaken Will
have you. Have Niger Frank move on
and you will be a gentleman. Now, be-
ware your time is limited from Black
Hand, not the Preacher II. IL you would
of searched that old niggers barn you
would have found Talley. From Black
Hand. Dead niger soon in Crete. He
was starter of all this. Let poor white
man have that job hack driving"
Jos Spirk. a young fellow having
room over the smoke house, also received
a letter telling him to leave that room
and the town or he would get treated
badly" Frank Osborne, who has been a
hack driver at the Burlington depot for
many years, also received a letter of the
same character. He is accused OF knowl-
edge OF poker dens, improper relations,
etc. and ends up by saying; IF you
don't cut this out you will be loaded
down to the bridge with a rope around
your neck"
Osborne, who has known many peoples
questionable secrets. says Talley has not
been in his barn for over a year, and
that while he has known about the gam
bling joints, he has not been In league
with them. He is jolly old negro who
everyone In town knows and trusts, and
suspicion does not rest heavily upon him.
The mayor is wrought up over the case.
He has submitted the letter to the pos
tai authorities at Kansas City for in
vestigation, and says he thinks he knows
who the guilty parties are, and thN he
has evidence that will put the officers
on the right track. He says he knows
no reason why he should drive Osborne
from town.
The Huntington letter only contained a
few suggestions as to the future con-
duct of the minister's prosecution, and
no disclosures as TO what these were have
been made.
Chief OF Police Atteberry went to
Omaha today on the report that Talley
had been seen there, and will be arreeted
