BUSINESS SCANS
S. A. PROPOSALS
.Transcontinental Rail Line
Looms As Bright Prospect.
Holland Says.

A few days before Jay Gould re-
tired from active business he. with
others. received a concession from
Brazil which was presumed 10 con-
tain possibilities. 81 IL were proper
ly used. for large gains. Very like
ly IL involved some. railroad con-
struction. although the privilege
which IL offered were known only
to a few. Mr.. Gould, however. hes
itated. not deeming himself In DO
sition to undertake the important
obligations which the acceptance
of the concession involved.
Mr.. Gould was also at that time
urged TO look favorably upon the
proposed intercontinental railroad.
He gave small thought TO this prop
osition. believing that IL was i'm
practicable. going so far as TO say
that IL q road Of that kind were
built IL could not get trafflc enough
TO pay for the operating expenses
or the interest on the cost Of the
construction.
Were Mr.. Gould alive today he
would realize that the criticism
which he made some forty years
ago was a mistaken view OF future
possibilities. That intercontinentaI
railroad Is undoubtedly TO be built
Only two or three connecting links
now are required
when completed IL will be possi-
bic to take a sleeping car at New
York or Chicago and not disembark
until Valparaiso or Buenos Aires is
reached.
So. too. the concession which
remained imperative chiefly be-
cause Mr.. Gould decided that he
could not accept the opportunities
which were offered Is probably the
Identical one. at least in its chief
features, which a group OF interna-
tional bankers in New York City
are now examining SO that they
may decide whether or not IL be
advisable for them TO aid in the
financing of this concession.
The bankers are awaiting reports
from competent men who are COM
missioned to make investigation so
that IL can he determined whether
or not the proposition may be =
reasonable one. The bankers are
not willing To take the say-so OF
the representative OF South Amer
lean nations who have come to
New York with the purpose Of IN
teresting these bankers in impor-
tant propositions Yet there seems
to be a disposition to believe that
the representation which have
been made. especially by those who
are concerned in the Peruvian and in
the Brazilian concession. will un-
doubleday BE- JUSTIFIED by investigs-
tion. II they are the probability is
strong that there will be a heavy
investment OF American capital in
very large South American propo-
sitions during the year 1920.

Jerry" the zebra, is dead.

Jerry" the zebra, is dead.
Jerry" priced pet of the late Col
Teddy" Roosevelt. presented him
by former King Menelik. of Abys-
sinia, fifteen years ago. has passed
the way of his master" it was
learned last night.
Zoo officials here say old age was
the cause of "Jerry's" demise. He
was past 20. -
But zoo oflcials do not always
know about such things. according
to many a kiddie in Washington,
who feels he knows Jerry" better
than his keeper. From these you
will learn that Jerry" has been
acting lonely" lately-'lonely" for
the Abyssinian steppes where he
romped before 1t was written that
he was to stomp within the wired
Enclosure out there at the Zoo.
"Jerry's" story is an unusual one.

London-The London general Omni-

He was as free as the wind until he
was years old. He was found In
the widest stretches of impenetra-
bic Abyssinian jungles. One day came
hunters on horseback. They cap
tured the surprised Jerry" then too
young to know what it was all
about.
They gave him to the King. for he
was such a beauty. The King, an
admirer OF President Roosevelt, gave
Jerry" to the latter. President
Roosevelt turned Jerry" over to the
Zoo. for Riddles and others to en-
joy. He became one of the priced
captives.
"Jerry's" remains were bequeathe ed
to the National Museum. He will
be stuffed. to live again for all to
admire in death as he was admired
during his fifteen years life at the
National Geological Park. He died
ten days ago.
