Situation Grows Out of Grant to
Illinois Central to Construct Track
After Repeal of Similar One For
merly Given the Big Four. 1
TYPICAL CORPORATION TRICK
II is Claimed; Resort to Such Meth
cd, Evidence of Doubt That Big
Four Has Regarding Its Rights.

When the Big Four railroad COM
pany made an attempt about 1880
Sunday morning TO lay a switch
track across Twentieth street ex-
tending along Railroad street south
to Eighteenth, they were stopped by
Mayor Walter H. Wood and a de-
tai Of policemen. All day Sunday
as well as last night police guard
was on duty to prevent any further
resumption Of the work
Several months ago under the for
mer administration. theBlg Four
railroad company was granted an
ordinance. giving them privilege
to construct a switch track from
twentieth street south to Eigh-
teenth on Railroad street A clause
gave other roads privilege to use the
track, provided they bore the orig
inal expense apportionately with the
Big Four, and share the mainten-
ance cost. II is said the Big Four
objected to this proviso and no effort
was made to build the spur.
About six weeks ago. at meeting
Of the council, Commissioner Hurd
introduced resolution repeating
section e the ordinance, and thus
giving the Big Four exclusive right
to tho switch. Mr. IIurd was
prompted to this he stated because.
the matter had dragged along. and
rather than having the roads abon-
don the project entirely. be favored
giving the Big Four the use of the
track alone The motion did not
carry.
This prompted the Illinois Central
to make an offer to accet the ordin-
ance granted TO the Big Four with
the clause providing for it's joint
use with other companies
Last Monday the council re-
pealcd the ordinance formerly grant
cd to the Big Four and gave the
Illinois Central privilege under a
similar draft to build the track The
provisions were that the COMPANY
was to be given fifteen days in which
to file a written acceptance Of the
ordinanc, thirty DAYS to sart the
work and sixty DAYS TO complete 1t.
! City officials claim the Big Four
has no legal right to build the track
but n the Illinois Central accepts
the repeating ordinance, which also
contains the clause objected to by
the Big Four, the latter raod will
have legal right to put in the switch.
The attempted coup of the Big
Four to lay the track in the dead
Of the night was illustrated by tele-
phone message from police head
quarters from an anonymous source.
Mayor Wood was notified and few
minutes later was on the scene with

GIRL SAYS SHE
IS IGNORANT Of
HIGH FINANCE"
Mable Sturtevant Declares She is
Victim of Her Debtors and
Creditors.
WILL PAY COLLEGE WOMEN
BEFORE SOCIETY DONORS


gant, Lib, hailed as the smartest
cirl u ,hc world as tho Grst winner
@. the Braun scholarship prize, ad
mits that she is poor fnancier.
Upon this hypothesis she excuses her
failure to pay back loans from promi-
nent society women and commissions
on the sales of books due to strug-
Cling college women.
Yesterday Miss Sturtevant had re-
covered from the shock caused by
her arrest by postoffice inspectors
on the charge of using the mails to
defraud, and was able and willing
to d.:cuss freely the unfortunate af-
fairs of the Associated College
Women Workers" an organization
Of which she was head. 1t was
through this organization that She
solicited loans from wealthy women
to aid girs to make heir way through
college, but practically all of the
money, according to the postal au-
thorites, went into her pockets, for,
so far as can be learned, she was
the organization.
Tho woman graduate of uni
vcrsity in both academic and law
courses, promises to prove great
puzz,e to the postofficc authorities.
She refuses to view any of her acts
as wrongdoing and seems convinced
that che was interrupted in a great
and chaitable work. She bittery as
sails the postoffice inspectors for ar
resting her, claiming that they have
practically forced her into bank
~uptcy. She talks of debts, credits
and assets as though the game Of
borrowing money from prominent
women was as legitimate as selling
cloth by the yard.

"All the moey that IS taken in on

NIGERIA HERALDED
BY GOVERNOR AS
DEVELOPING LAND

London.-Sir F. Lugard was the
guest at a dinner given recently by
the West African section of the Lon
don Cham ber of Commerce. In pro-
posing the toast United Nigeria,
Lord Miner said that Nigeria was a
country with wonderful natural re-
sources and that they believed that
it was about to enter into new era
of great development. OF Sir f. Luz
gard, Lord Miner said that he be-
longed to a class of men which was
never large enough for the needs of
an empire so vast as the British en-
pire.
Sir F. Lugard referred in appreci-
alton to the efforts of the colonial Of
flee to place him. as governor of the
territory in close communication
with the heads of firms and chambers
of commerce. in Great Britain. The
evolution of Nigeria was only at its
beginning stage and when 1t was COM

comparison. The country would by
next year have a revenue of over 81

estimated at 100000 and its era
was 100000 square miles. The vol

Pretoria. The ceremony, which was
attended by 1000 persons. was per-

A message was read by the COVER

which he declared that all sections in

memory OF a distinguished man who
gave his life's work to the service of
his countrymen.
The Union prime minister, General
Botha. sent a message to the effect
that to the Dutch people contempla-
tion of that simple patriot of extraor-
binary ability was always a stirring
experience. In the English, also. 1t
compelled admiration. The thought
of all turned to that other great man

REDWOOD WASTE MAY BE
UTILIZED IN PAPER MAKING
Forest Service Finds Pulp of other
California Trees Available for Same
Purpose.

utIoSts
San Francisco. The forest service
has been carrying on experiments to
determine the value of California
woods for the manufacture of pulp
and paper. The woods used have in
nearly all cases been those which are
of inferior quality for lumber The
notable exception is redwood With
this species the experiments have
been conducted with a view to find
ing use for the immense quantity of
mill waste in the form of slabs and
odds and ends. Redwood fibers are
much longer than those of the stand
ard pulp wood (spruce) and their
great strength is an important factor.
The results Indicate that the com
merciaI possibilities for redwood mill
waste in the form of tough. stronger
paper are very great. and it is more
than likely that the exploitation of
this material will become a reality In
the near future
Other woods tested are white and
red fir and lodgepole pine. The wood
of the fir Is light in color and com
paratively free from materials which
are not readily reduced in chemical
processes. The fibers are long and
strong and the pulp Is easily bleach
ed The paper produced is found tc
be equal to that of the spruce.
A good grade of mechanical pulp Is
made from lodgepole pine.
All these species occur In quanti'
ties sufficient for the establishment
of large plants, whose operations vii
cover long periods.

PEDIGREE WHEAT SEARCH
BAFFLED, SAYS LECTURER

London. = Experiments made In
Sweden with a view to obtaining
"pedigree" wheat were referred to In
a recent lecture by Prof. 7. b. Wood
of Cambridge at the Royal Institu-
ton.
The two important characteristics
which the farmer wanted, the lecturer
said, were a good quality and large

acre over 10 years in Lancashire, 80
bushels, and in Monmouthshire, 20
bushels, indicated at once, he sala
that soil and climate We're response
BILE to a large extent, and meteoro-
logists were of the opinion that the
weather during the autumn sowing IN
a large measure determined the Yield
The average yield per acre In ditter-
ent countries was as follows: Den
mark. 42.1 bushels; Great Britain,
l32.9 bushels; Canada. 17.6 bushels;
1 India. ia bushels, and Russia, l0
| bushels.
| Experiments at Cambridge and
ether places showed that there was no
relation between the size of the ear,
the size of the grain, or the number
of stems and the bulk of the crop
Both square-head and rivet, one ol
which had a small ear and the othel
a large. gave an almost equal yield
In this connection Professor Wooo
pointed out that the efforts to obtain
a pedigree wheat had been unavail'
ing. In sweden, by mechanical sepa'
rators, they had picked the largest
grains from the largest ears out oI
successive crops, but the result was
actually not so good as that obtained
from an ordinary sowing.

CROATTAN SIEGE
STATE MAY STOP

Vienna, Austria The latest news
from Agram is to the effect that NJ.
de Cuvaj. the royal commissioner for
Croatia. has rendered his resignation.
Ever since March of last year there
has existed a minor state of siege In
Croatia. which the Hungarian govern
ment has at last decided to rescind.
The Hungarian premier, DIR. de LUX
acs Is carrying on negotiations with
leading Croatian politicians, with a
view to coming to some understand
ing which would allow of the reestab-
lishment of normal conditions.
There is a confident expectation
abroad that these efforts on the part
of DR.. de Lukacs will be successful.
but no permanent settlement OF the
Croatian question can be looked for
so long as Hungary fails to observe
the fundamental rights which belong
to the country under more than one
agreement entered into with the gov
ernment at Budapest.
