ST Louis and Hannibal Traction Line
to be Operated by Electricity
From This City.

1t Is foregone conclusion that
many interurban lines will be built in
the Mississippi valley before many
years and it is equally certain that
the great Mississippi river power dam
at Keokuk will furnish power for
these lines. The St Louis Globe

Missouri will have an interurban
railway system operated by electric
power from the plant at Keokuk, Iowa,
in the next two years, extending from
ST. Louis to Hannibal and far into
Illinois, by a deal which James D.
Houseman expects to close in the next
few days
The deal for merger between the
st. Louis and Western Traction com
pany, of which Houseman is president,
and the St Louis and Hannibal rail,
road, by which the latter line, now a
steam railroad. would be electrified,
has been tentatively made between
Houseman and Blair & Co, New York
bankers, who own the st. Louis and
Hannibal,
Under the agreement entered into
by Houseman on recent trip to the
east, he has the option of purchasing
or leasing the st. Louis and Hanni-
bal line. The st. Louis and Western
lis projected from ST Louis to Wentz-
Vile, within about two and half
miles of Gilmore, the present south
ern terminus of the Hannibal line.
Houseman, who is in Chicago, will
go to Hannibal tomorrow to confer
with other officers of the line.
The st. Louis and Western Traction
line, under construction, has been
graded as far as Kirkwood. Work on
the tracks is to begin In fifteen days
The road is to be put in operation as
far as Kirkwood by August I. A

NEW PLAN
OF DISSOLUTION
Railroads Given sixty Days In Which
H to Fix UP Their Notice
to Court.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
ST. LOUIS, March IA prelimi-
nary conference between Chairman
Lovett Of the Union Pacific system,
and attorneys for the roads included
in the system, was held here as frs;
step in the formulation of plan for
the dissolution of the Union Southern
Pacific interests, under the decree of
the supreme court last December.
The conference was called after the
announcement by Chairman Lovett In
federal court that the modified plan,
presented by the railroads. had been
abandoned because Of the opposition
OF the California railroad commission
No announcement was forthcoming
after the conference 1t was saie
by system officials and attorneys that
they would proceed carefully this
week with view to coming to an
agreement that would obviate the OBJ
iections of the California commits
sioners.
The California commission objected
to the proposed plan Of dissolution
because it contained provision for
a preferential Interchange of traffic
by the two roads over short line
between Oakland and Sacramento,
The attorneys for the road insist
that this arrangement applied only to
interstate traffic and that the Califor.
MIA commission is unduly alarmed
over an agreement over which 1t In
reality had the jurisdiction.
Federal Judge Sanborn gave the
railroads until sixty days after Febru-
airy 10 to present to the court new
plan of dissolution. He said that Il
new plan was not ready for filins
at that time, he would order the dis
solution regardless Of the railroads

The only basis for the statement
was the fact that President Wilson
informed the senators Of his inten.
