Shorter Route Between Denver

Tentative plans have been made re-
Gently by which the Gould interests are
planning on a new. shorter route be-
tween Denver and the Pacific coast,
says the Kansas City Journal Ac-
cording to a tentative traffic arrange
ment between the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Moffat road, a connec-
ton is to be made between these two
properties, affording the Goulds a di-
rect route west from Denver and do
ing away with the long haul south to
Pueblo and north again to the north
via Tennessee Pass.
The arrangement provides for the
building of a cutoff from point on
the Moffat road to Dotsero on the Rio
Grande's main line through Colorado.
According to reports in railroad cir
cles, the success Of this arrangement
depends upon the ability of W G. Ev-
ans, president of the MOffat road, to
carry out negotiations for financing
the project which are now on in the
East.
If the desired financial assistance is
secured it probably viii mean that the
Gould interests will complete the ar
engagements which have been under
consideration for some time relative to

Pacific coast The Missouri Pacific
route WOULD De TOiOWeQ TO GuSDiO, the
Rio Grande to Denver, the Moffat line
to Dotsero. the Rio Grande to Salt
Lake City and the Western Pacific the
remainder of the way.
This would give the Rio Grande and
the Western Pacific a much shorter
route between Denver and the coast
than any of its rivals. Probably much
of the business which now moves west
over the Union Pacific would be d.
verted to the Gould lines With the
proposed 22-mile cutoff Dotsero would
be IA miles from Denver. where. I'M
der the present Rio Grande routing, 1t
is 345 miles. The saving of III miles
in the transcontinental haul would be
regarded a great advantage, even con-

Of RABBI
TALK OF NEW VOTE
Progressive Members of Syn
agogue Not to Give
Up Fight.

With each side predicting ultimate
victory, both factions of the divided
Adas Israel Synagogue today are busy
planning their future campaigns. The
members of the congregation who are
strictly orthodox expressed their wish
at the meeting of the church yesterday
that the present rabbi, Mr.. Egelson, re-
sign March 1. Their majority In the
vote was only two, the total ballot being
S. in favor of Mr.. Egelson's retention
and So against him.
The division in this congregation has
been brought about by dissatisfaction or
the older and more orthodox members
with some of the features Of Mr.. ESel-
sons pastorate. They claim that he has
introduced too much English into the
church services, and that English is
fast supplementing the Hebrew in the
essentials of the ceremonies. They also
assert that the teaching of Hebrew to
the children of the church is neglected
by Mr.. Egelson.
The progressive members of Adas Is
rael Synagogue are standing by the
young rabbi. They say the election yes
terday was not at all conclusive OF the
feeling OF the entire church on the mat
ter; that in spite of the Importance or
the meeting, a great many members
were absent, and had they been in at
tendance, the vote would not have been
against Mr.. Egelson. Some of the pro-
saying that unless the vote is reversed
and Mr. Egelson Is retained, they will
withdraw their financial support from
the synagogue.
