FRISCO DECREE IS
ISSUED BY GRUbb
Confirms Appointment of
President Winchell and
West as Receivers

Upon the application of Thomas b.
Judge William l. Grubb yesterday is
sued an ancillary decree in the Frisco
lines receivership The decree confirms
the appointment of President b. L.
Winchel and T. II. West receivers
and takes jurisdiction of the receiver
ship for the federal court in this state.
The decree provides that no additional
bond must be given by the receivers
and that all orders in connection with
the receivership must be filed with the
federal court here.
The action here was purely a for
mality on the part of attorneys for the
receivers and was concurred in by For
ney Johnston of this city, counsel for
the Frisco lines in this district.
The receivership of the Frisco has
created no uneasiness in railroad circles
here and no apprehension as to the
outcome of the tangle. Bankers here
and well informed railroad men are
aware that the Frisco lines earnings
for the past several months have shown
a gain over the preceding months OF
last year. The reason for the receiver
snip so far as local information goes
Is unexplained to local satisfaction, 1t
is regarded as certain that some fur
ther developments will occur in the
Frisco case. 1t Is believed that the re-
ceivers will explain such situations in
reference to the Frisco that have as
yet been cloudy to the railroad and in
dustrfal men here and elsewhere.
In connection with the Frisco lines
and the rumor that B. l.. Winchell
Is to leave the company that Is be-
lieved to be probable 1t Is known here
that James j. Hill of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific has made
overtures to Mr.. Winchell in the past
1t is recalled that Mr.. Hill secured
the services of Carl r. Gray, first vice
president of the Frisco, two years ago
and made him president of one of his
lines. Mr.. Hill is a believer in Frisco
men and as Mr.. Winchell is held 10
be one of the best Informed operating
men in middle western service 1t would
not occasion any great surprise IL Mr.
Winche1l goes with the Hill systems
after the receivership of the Frisco is
Strengthened out during the next few
months.

COMMISSION AGAIN
POSTPONES ACTION
ON KELLEY PLANS
Mr.. Exum Inclined to Be
Wrathy, But the Matter
Goes Over Until
Tuesday

NO action was taken on the approval
or disapproval of the Kelly plans for the
proposed street car railway system at
the commission meeting yesterday.
President c. Exum showed inclinations
to grow exceedingly wrathy, but to no
avail The matter was passed until the
Tuesday meeting 1t came up yesterday
from one postponement already.
The delay yesterday was due to the
fact that City Engineer Kirkpatrick ac-
cepted the plans of the Kelley interests.
stating that they complied entirely with
the terms of the franchise, but at the
same time made certain recommendations
Tor alterations in them. The latter recon-
mendations were to the effect that one
of the viaducts of the proposed railway
was too narrow, according to the plans,
but at the same time complied with the
franchise, and the other was that 1t ap-
peared just to allow the company to make
grade crossing at Avenue F over the
louisville and Nashville railroad tracks
instead of subway as called for in the
franchise in view of the fact that the
grade crossing system now being worked
out by the city engineering department
might call for a viaduct here and render
the almost new subway useless.
Mr.. Exum stated that the city engineer
had not been asked for recommendatio
but to either state whether or not he ap-
proved or disapproved the plans. Mr..
Exum desired to act on the matter as
soon as possible because on the date of
such action, according to terms of the
franchise depends future actions concern
ing the railways construction and op-
Grafton. He wanted to vote on the plans
subject to a reconsideration if any of the
city engineers recommendations were
adopted. Mr.. Kelley objected to this,
however, so the matter was passed over
and the city engineer given implicit in.

er or not the plans should be approved
and were in compliance with the fran
