f6EiGHi BUREAU WOULD u4HR
  ROCK ISLAND LIVE UP TO <
  AGREEMENT,
TO REDUCE THE RATES
V!d Lease Specifies That Same Kat. Should Prevail Ut Memphis as
 at Hopef'eld. Ark.

"emphis. Dec. 28. --Foliowing tue announcement Of the plans of inc railroad Wednesday. comes the an~ nouncement that the legal battle in. VdtVing freight rates in and out If Memphis will not be ended This wac outlined by James s Dayan commis.. slohef Of the Men,phis freight bu. reaii
 The controversy is of several yeafs standing The freight bureau seeka 10 have the city of Memphis enforce clause in the lease executed many years ago to the old Ghoetaw. Oklana. ma and Gulf railroad, covering the rental properties now occupied by tha Rock Island for freight terminals in Which | is stipula ted that so long as tie lease is in effect tie freight rates ; in and OH of this city in no case shall exceed those iu effect in and out , of Bopefield, Ark. This clause has long since been treated as a dead let ter, and the Rock Island after absorb ing the Choctaw's property, has de- tended its course by urging that pres ent day conditions made il impossible for the railroad to abide by the agree ment
 "f understand oi, excellent author fly that the Rock Island does not ln- tend to abandon ths ai4 terminals, notwithstanding the plans which have been made to build additional ones" said MT Davapt Thursday morning The cause for which we are fighting is none the less just by reason If these claims and there appears nH , our effort to have the railroad com
 pany live up to it's contract
 ''The matter Is now in the hands of the city commission, and l understand all papers have been referred to the city attorney for an opinion as to the city's legal right in the pr mises. I l have reason to believe that steps will be taken toward carrying on the fight : at a very early date.'
 The bridge now connecting Tennee- <, see with Arkansas at Memphis han 1 long been overtaxed with the burden of traffic placed upon It by the lines operating westward from Memphis It contains but single track and 1t is so constructed that the addition of another track is impossible fact that gives little encouragement for future growth so long as 1t Is the on- ly bridge to span the river here. An a matter of fact the Rock Island has used the bridge for freight trains on- ly when conditions were such as 10 make transportation of freight cars by boat impractlcable It Is understood that the delays which transportation over the bridge entailed played big part in deciding the company "a adopt the transfer boat plan.

 Hopes Blasted.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Al ~Palzer knocked out Al Kaufman. of Ca1i- fornia, in the fifth round of their scheduled ten round bout at the Ma tional Sporting Club tonight. A right uppercut to the jaw started in the region of the knee was the blow that blasted whatever hopes Kaufman ever had of being a heavyweight champion Of the world.
 The round had but 12 second 70 go when Palzer delivered the tell tale wallop. The blow sent Kauf- man hurtling into the corner and as soon as he went down il became ap- parent to all that the giant Califor- nian was entirely out. 4 lower rope supported Kaufman's head.
 Referee Haley tolled off the fate- full ten before Kaufman could com mand enough of his waning ener- gies to attempt to get up. He got up as far as kneeling position when the bell rang.
 But he had been counted out two seconds before the expiration of the session.
 To many it seemed as if the bell had saved Kaufman and it was fully half minute before they were en- frightened. Several men at the ring side held stop watches and ones of thm insisted that the round had but five seconds to go before Palzer connected

Although it is reported that several fine offers have been made for the properties of the Citizens Light and Transit Company, it was stated last night that no deal had been consum- mated for the sale of the street rail- way or light plant, but that negotia- tions are still on for the sale and may be consnmmated today

 posed Structure is Completed.

Memphis. Dec. 2S---That h. tuiltl- ing Of the new bridge by the Rock Island inter- sts is only one of fl nurn- Der Of big railroad developments f1t this territory Is the gen raj belief Ir raiIroad circles II is considered cer- tain that the building of the bridge is not merely an addition to the ia rilities of he present lines entering Memphis hut Is in contf mplation # the entry Of other lines That th4 Gould lines arc interested in the bridge project is considered certain from statements made by Iron Noun. tain officials oh r. cent visit to Memphis. The completion of the Ma, rama cutoff nto Me mphis within the next three months and the routing of The Cotton Belt traffic over the Rock island lines from Brinkley are eonsi1- cred significant.
 .RuJ the most int r. sting specula- tion afloat connects the building Of the bridge with the proposed Mem- phis and Pensacola road. New off, cers will be elected on January 15. X directors meeting about two weeks ago was followed by the announces ment that actual construction of the road would begin in a short while and that the terminals at Pensacola and Meridian had been secured.
 John C. Jones. one of the promot- CTS. has just returned from several months in England and it is reported today that English capitalists have agreed to under write $30,o0o of the bonds. It is said that Mfr Harahan is interested in this road with sever al of the former controlling influ- ences in the 1liirois Central who re gently withdrew when Harahan F. signed. Certain it is that some of the incorporators of the bridge company are directors of the Memphis and Pe'- sacola.
 It is now sd d that the Missouri and North Arkansas connecting with the Santa Fe at Joplin Mo, will build into Memphis and cross on the new bridge D:.vid R. Francis and his ln- teresst in St. Louis control this road, A connection with the Memphis Pen- sacoia would give the Santa Fe an outlet on the gulf and raise it to the dignity of transcCntinental line like it's competitor. the Southern Pa cific. Many believe that the Santa Fe Is really back of the Missouri and North Arkansas
 It is noticed that the Memphis Pensacola has made no effort to se cure terminals in Memphis. In this connection it is observed that David K. Francis and John P Scullens are the principal bondholders of the Lakeview Traction Company and It ,s possible that the road will come into the c'ty over that company's right of way. The reported reorganization of the traction company in the near fl- .ture gives color to this suppositiol. Ill the meantime, reports say, the Burlington road will come into, Meni- phis and the completion of the new bridge would secure it from being bottled up by the illinois Central and the Hartman system against whica

PRICE OF RADIUM IS LOWER
Joyful News Is Given Out That the Metal Now Costs Only S2.1oo,ooo
 an Ounce.

The price of radium is lower now. The Scientific American says:
 "Sir William Ramsay recently an- nounced that radium now costs $2, 100, ,000 an ounce, which price is slightly less than the value given by him about year ago, as $2 .500. .000 A year ago there was said to be about one-quarter of pound of radium in the world. As a matter of fact. the actual quantity is not now much greater. Radium banks have been established in Paris and London for the purpose of lending radium at price. As much as $200 has been charged for the use of 100 milli- grammes for single day"
 In fact, there is not an ounce of pure radium in the world. It is all but very little in combination with other clements. But there are tons of it in the earth giving life to all animals by its emanations.

UNEXPECTED ANSWER.

A prosperous business man of natural cheery disposition was baf- fled in an attempt to inspire cheer into three members of the laboring class the other day. The business man was taking party of friends through the old Granary burying ground, and in their tour of inspect ing the graves of notables they came across three grave-diggers, who were eating their lunches on the top of one of the large, fiat tombstones.
 "Well, my men, remarked the leader of the touring party, aren't you inspired with awe eating your dinners on the gravestones of great men?"

TRY SITTING AS A MODEL
Grace MacGowsn Cooke Found That Good Way to See Herself as 9th
 CTS Saw Her.

A good way in which to see oneself as others see one is to sit as d model to class of students. A writer in the New York Times gives the ex- perience of Grace MacGowan Cooke, who, before she became an author, tried to fit hersalf to illustrate sto- ries written by others, and to that end studied at the School of Design in Cincinnati.
 Mrs. Cooke's profile is fairly regu- lar, and she was in some demand to sit for the sketch and life classes where the students took the task of posing in rotation.
 1t was at the time that metal re- pousse work was most popular, and she reports sitting one morning with her hair in portentous Psyche knot and double fillet over her head while painting apron that chanced to have key-pattern border was draped across her shoulders to hide her street dress, and listening to the exceedingly frank comments of her fellow students as they worked.
 She had been enlightened consid- erably as to her facial angle, the length of her countenance from eye to lip, and various other details, when one enthusiastic young woman capped the sheaf.
 "Well," she remarked, q just think she's got beautiful head to pound on brass. Don't you think you'd love to hammer that profile of heFsY"
