NICKEL PLATE ROAD
PLANS BIG MERGER
New Major Rail System To Take
Its Place On Map-Van Swer-
ingens Directing Head

CLEVELAND, April ga new
major railroad system, the Van
Sweringen, consisting of approx
mately 1900 miles Of roadway and
including the consolidated Nickle
Plate, which embraces five railroads,
the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Hooking Valley, operating as a
separate unit, is now one Of the five
great railway systems of the coun-
try, according to new railroad maps
just issued.
Oris P. and Mantis J. Van Swer-
ingen, of Cleveland, pictured in
some circles as the twentieth century
prototypes Of Hill and Hartman aer
the men who control this new sys-
TEN. Both are comparatively young,
Oris P. being AZ and Mantis J. 40.
For the last twelve years they have
been numbered among Cleveland's
leading citizens, but until their en-
trance into the railroad field they
were little known outside the state
and possibly in financial circles in
New York and Chicago.
These brothers, however, appear
Indifferent to fame. The quiet way
they grouped the five roads into the
proposed Nickel Plate system is one
example Of the aversion to publicity
while the method in which they ac-
quire control of the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Hooking Valley is an
other.
According to railroad men here
the alliance with the Chesapeake and
Ohio was a departure from what
had generally been expected, as a
combination between the Nickel
Plate and the Lackawanna or Lee
high was thought probable, thus
giving them an outlet to a New Eng
land seaport or the port of New
York
Instead the Swaringens obtained
outlets at Newport News and Nor
folk. But this was nots all.
The Chesapeake and Ohio, it was ex-
planned, had been overburdened with
traffic originating on its own line
and its expansion retarded on ac-
count of lack Of outlets over other
roads. The Nickel Plate, on the
other hand, carries large volumes
Of agricultural and animal products
freight. 1t is said to have needed the
counter-balance of large shipments,
principally west, the bulk of which
movement would be in the opposite
direction to the Nickel Plate travel
This it obtains from the Chesa-
reake and Ohio.

Jones has filed suit in the City Court
Of Albany against the Georgia-Ala-
5ama Power company and the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway company for

Jones and James E. LawIey, another
carpenter, were working on the over
pass, which is being built by the

JUDGE MFADDEN }
NATIVE OF TYPO.

District Judge c. ]. McFadden
who has suddenly forged into the
public eye without evidence of a
desire upon his part, is a native of
old Tybo, Nye county, where he
was born about forty.flve years ago.
His mother had been u widow
named Clark and had several chill
dren by her first husband, among
these being Angelo Clark of Phoebe
aud Ed W. CLARK of Las Vegas. The
elder MeFadden was a blacksmith.
Tybo was a short-liyed camp. It
came into being in the middle
7os and It's real activities lasted
less than four years. When the
water level was reached the facili-
ties for working the mines were
inadequate and the values OF the
ores declined at the same time.
The McFadden family removed TO
Phoebe when the future Judge was
4 or ; years old. There the father
followed his vocation of blacksmith
for a few years, during which he
grubstaked some men to go % the
then new camp of nelamar. They
secured some good claims and from
his interest in them the father re.
allied a small fortune.
Afterward the family removed
to Salt Lake. where their money
was invested in real property. and
after the fathers death young Nc
Fadden was sent 10 a Boston law
school by the mother. The prop.
erty is still held by the heirs. 1t is
understood, and the Judge has an
interest in II.

". 4. MARSH, HIS
MAN FRIDA Y

William A. Marsh, prospector,
cattle and sheep man. broncho bus
ter and handy man in rough and
tumble. is a native of Austin, Nev.
His parents crossed the plains In
the days of President Buchanan
and remained during the time
when General Albert Sidney John
ston's army was quartered at Camp
Floyd Utah. under the protection
,of the garrison. where the elder
Marsh found employment for mere
than year before proceeding to
the mines of this state.
In his school days young Marsh
was seatmate of Charley Richards.
congressman-elect. Who four years
ago was his colleague as assembly
man from Nye county, and the two
were deskmates in the assembly
hall. In that session Mr.. Marsh
gained a state reputation as an ul-
tra-progrossive and n fighter. The
winter of 1917 was made memora-
bic at Carson City by his almost
daily locking of horns with Charles
S. Chandler, then an assemblyman
from White Pine. Upon one occa-
sion he pictured Mr.. Chandler as
being the mouthpioce that squealed
when the tail of the interests was
tread upon. and when the White
Pine man was speaking tc a ques-
tion of privilege in reply Mr.. Rich.
ards whispered to his old playmate,
Cit up an apologize. Billy
which was done gracefully as the
scholarly White Pine member
stopped to resume his seat
Once when a debate was on
about cattle and rheep differences
Mr.. Marsh started a speech by say
ing, Il guess I'm the only sheep
herder here. From that time on
he was known joollarly as the
'rcd-headed sheepherdcr in the
assembly.
Next to being n signer of the MI
nority report in the McFadden case
Mr. Marsh's greatest claim TO re-
nown is as discoverer OF the rich
est gold camp since the Klondike
Goldfeld. Nevada.
Until the opening OF this session
Mr.. Jurich and Mr.. Marsh had
never met.

reached the head of Berry creek, in
Duck valley, and by following its
course got out of the steepest and
toughest of the country Many times
he had to wade the icy water, as he
afterward did in Duck creek, until
he finally made the road that leads
down to the Lincoln highway, and
then he was able to work and worry
his way on to the smelter town.
There he got shelter and warmth
until he was able to proceed TO Ely
by automobile. and arriving here he
was placed in the White Pine General
hospital and was treated for his ILL
ness and broken ribs by DIR: w. w.
Cook. Mr.. Clinton was found to be
afflicted with pleuro-pneumonia. His
illness was aggravated to a great de-
gree by his exposure and exhaustion
These circumstances delayed his re-
covery
For the last two days he has been
cut and able to call on friends and
tel them of his hardships.
Mr.. Clinton is of English birth and
has seen much OF the world, includ
ing travels on every continent. He
has been through many trying expe-
riences, but this one was far from
being a minor one as compared to

CT not deposition may be taken.
Mr.. Elliott was to have been one OF
the most effective witnesses for An.
thony Jurith. who expected to prove
by him that McFadden had used
blasphemous epithet In speaking of
President Harding. A few dayc after
the trial was ordered Mr.. Elliott un-
derwent an operation at the S:eptoe
hospital for the removal of his tom
sils. Tie doctors report that he Is
doing fine, but that he has suffered
hemorrhage of one tonsil since the
operation II Is believed that Mr..
Eddy and perhaps others will swear
to the facts that Mr. Elliott was ex.
pected To prove.
II is thought that Mr. Edwards
will be asked about various alleged
discourtesies In court during recent
years and about the use OF unprinta-
BILE language by Mr.. Vargas in ad-
dressing the Jury In the Dawn Mar
garet williams trial.
That Mr. Boreman will tell about
an attempted attack on him with a
cane and OF the judge calling him =
had name Is a certainty. He will cor
roborate the discourtesies.
Messrs. Mclean, Bath and Oldneld
are known to be listed to tell about
the transactions of four years ago

BY Mrs. Cornelius
Beeckman.

w ARIETY is called the spice
" of life. Certainly much
pleasure is derived from ar
tistic and novel methods Of serving
various foods, where, if they were
presented in one n1onotonous form,
we would be robbed of much OF the
JOY Of eating.
Yet the oddities of shape and
size Of many table delicacies often
give rise to embarrassing moments
when it comes to the proper man.
ner Of eating them.
1t is no reflection on.the bringing
up of guests that they do not al
ways know the correct procedure
when served with dishes to which
they have not been accustomed.
The thoughtful hostess keeps
such careful watch that Che is
quick to note any hesitation on the
part of guest: With innate cour-
tesy she partakes first of the dish,
and thus by example sets ut rest
any doubt as to what is the proper
thing to do.
Perplexed readers often write me
to ask how to eat foods that pre-
sent some problem because OF their
novelty or the difficulty in deciding
whether to use fork, spoon or fin
gers. Here are some Of the cues
tions which have come to me:
