TWO WAXAHACHIE LINES.
No Connection known Between
Southern Traction Co. and
Stone & Webster.

Now there seems to be some spec
ulation in Dallas as to whether there
will be two inteurban lines to Wax
ahachie, one to go via Lancaster and
the other via Ferris,
1t will be remembered that sever
al weeks ago Harry l.. Monroe, one
of the directors of the Texas Trac-
ton company and representative
\ also OF the General Electric company
made the first positive announce
ment that an electric interurban
| would be built to Waxahachie.
About two or three weeks ago Ed
ward T. Moore, local manager for
the Stone & Webster company, an
nounced that that concern would
build a line to WaXahachie. Those
interested then declined to say
whether this line was the same con
templated by the Texas Traction
company
Last night Mr.. Moore said so far
as he knows there is no connection
between the plans of the Southern
Traction company and the Stone &
Webster company to build line to
Waxahacbie.
Il don't know what the plan of
| the Southern Traction company is,
! but | am confident that Stone &
Webster are going ahead and build
the line they have been talking
about Mr. Moore said Il am adj
vsed that our surveyors have com

Mr. Strickland stated that survey

was contemplated a survey would be
made through Brandon. This line at

Big Mileage.
The entire mileage of this sys-
tenn will be about 1875 miles, it being
approximately 100 miles from Dallas
10 Waco, and about thirty-five miles
from the proposed junction in Ellis
county to Corsicana over the Corsi-
cana line.
1t is the opinion of men who have
given this proposition considerable
thought that this is one of the best
unoccupied interurban fields in the
southwest. and particularly in Dallas
territory.
"A contract has been closed with
the Fred A. Jones company to do the
engineering and report work for this
association, and they are already
moving their material to the field to
begin this work. and arrangements
have advanced far enough both in
the organization and in the financing
of the enterprise for me to make the
plain statemen that work will not
be stopped until cars are running
from Dallas both to Waco and to
Corsicana

a large ma jority of local people. who

Penrose's Prediction

But Senator Penrose, chairman of the Senate finance committee and nominal leader of the republicans in the Senate, has said that there will be no tariff legis- lation during the coming session. He ad- mits that there will be plenty of effort on the part of the democrats to put through revision of some of the schedules, but his intimation and promise to the protected interests is that no bill will finally pass the two houses.
 It is certain that he and his followers will do all in their power to obstruct re- vision legislation. The progressive ele- ment of the party will obstruct unless they can manage matters so as to roh the democrats of full credit for any re- form tariff nlea sures that may pass.
 It is felt more than probable that the tariff board will come in for more criti- cism from the stand pat republicans than from the democrats. The democrats want all the information that they can get. While the republicans argued for delay until the tariff board could report they did not and have not cared so much for information as for delay. The republicans do not want much real information on tariff matters to get to Congress or the people.

AUbURN-GEORG|A
 PLAY TIE CAME

Savannah, Ga., November 29.-The University of Georgia and Auburn fought out fiercely contested scoreless here today. The game was replete with sensational features, but the climax came in the last quarter when after a brilliant broken field dash by Me- Whorter, the ball was in Georgia's pos- session on Auburn's one yard line on the first down.
 At the crucial moment the Auburn line charged forward carrying Snacan back for loss of four yards. Georgia lost more ground on the next down and on the third a tumble gave the ball to Auburn.
 Despite a damp, freezing north wind and threatening sky. the melee was witnessed by a large crowd of enthu- siastic supporters of the two teams. At 3:45 o'clock Georgia kicked to Auburn's 20 yard line and the battle was on. With the wind favoring Au- burn, Majors was called on to punt. Georgia also kicked. The same tac- tics marked the remainder of the quar- ter, time being called with the ball in Georgia's possession on their 35 yard line.
 In the second quarter Georgia was favored by the wind. The advantage however, was not sufficient to en- danger Auburns goal. The time for the half was called with the ball Tn the center of the field.
 | At the outset of the third quarter play was even more strenuous than in | the early part of the game. Trick
 plays, line shifts, forward passes and on-side kicks were tried by both sides Auburn, in series of spectacular plays, brought the ball to Georgias SC yard line. Major attempted place
 ment kick, but the ball was blocked
 and recovered by Georgia. After ex-
 changing punts time was called with
 the bali in Auburns possession just | inside Georgia territory.
 In the last period both teams fought for every inch of ground. With the quarter almost over McWhorter oi
 Georgia circled left end for 40 yards
 Georgias quarterback attempted g
 quick dash through the line, but was | thrown for a loss. The next play was
 equally unsuccessful and neither goal
 was endangered after that time.

Senate's Calendar Sheet

The Senate of the United States will be- gin business next Monday with almost clean slate. The calendar has only 13 bills that have been passed by committees with recommendation that they be passed by the Senate. This is the smallest calen- dar for a second session of the Senate for many years.
 Four of the pending bills affect the Dis trict of Columbia. Among these is the oiil introduced by Senator Johnston of Ala bama known as the Sunday rest bill." This bAl has passed the Senate once. but with a small majority. The main oppo- sition comes from the Seventh Day Ad- yentists.
 Other District bills relate to titles to land in the District.
 Other bills on the calendar are:
 To provide for the raising of volunteer forces of the United States in time of &C., tual or threatened war.
 To proyide for Confederate naval mon- ument in the Vicksburg National park.
 A bill for the erection of a statue of Mai Gen. John Stark in the city of Man. chester, N. H.
 To permit the American academy in Rome to enlarge it's purposes and for other purposes.
 Appropriating $10,00O to aid in the erec- tion of a monument in memory of the late President James A. Garfield at Long Branch. N. J.
 Providing for the retirement of petty officers and enlisted men of the United States navy oi Marine Corps and for the efficiency of the enlisted personnel.
 TO alter the regulations respecting the manner of holding elections for United States senators.

OUTCOME IN DOUBT AND IN RESULT THERE IS CONSIDER ABLE INTEREST-TEAMS SEEM EVENLY MATCHED

The final football game of the current season scheduled for Birmingham will be played at the fair grounds this afternoon between the teams of the University of Alabama and Davidson college. North Carolina.
 The two aggregations are about evenly matched as far as weight and speed are concerned, and 1t is said that by compar- ative scores it is demonstrated that there is little difference in their ability to score.
 As neither team possesses the beef es- sential to tearing an opposing line unto shreds, it is safe to say that there will be presented this afternoon a spectacle of speed, varied by forward passes and 'in- side" tactics.
 The result of the game is in doubt, and there is seldom found a prophet who will risk his reputation on forecasting the out come As consequence, there is dec!d- edly much interest in the battle of the pigskin today, and it is safe to state that

Miles of the Birmingham Athletic club, who is in charge of the ad- vertislng department of the show, stated last night that the general admission fee for the game this afternoon will be $1, and that there will be no additional expense attached. By this he means that unlike on other occasions in addition to paying a fee to enter the gates, no extra fee will be charged for sitting down. He also states that the tickets for the game will be on sale at the following places: Par ker's Florence Cigar store, Brown-Marx Cigar store, Seals-Carlisle Cigar store.
