Widens Field for
Western Union
Officials Reveal New
Machines to Bring
Expansion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Western
Union Telegraph Co. is preparing to
make use of facsimile transmission
Newcomb Carlton, chairman, and
Roy B. White, president, told stock
holders In report sent out today.
It said:
Experimentation and research
have now reached a stage where it
is possible to envisage an important
place for facsimile transmission in
the company's operations.
"The advances made by Western
Union in facsimile have become
possible by the development of a
dry conducting recording paper
which is as sensitive to electric i'm
pulses as photo film is to light.
with this paper it is practicable
instantly, without processing, to re-
cord script, printed or typewriter
matter, sketches, drawings or pic
lures. Compact and attractive ma
chimes have been developed in the
laboratories
Other improvements designed to
bring substantially better and ex-
panding service on a sound econ
omical basis, including a new relay
system, increasing the number of
channels of single circuit, and
other technical devices.
Net loss for 1888 was s1,637,879.

By the Associated Press.

dictions that the reorganization plan
for the Norfolk Southern Railroad
would be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission at an early
date and that the road would be
out of receivership within a year

ton managers appointed by the

Judge Way approved that part of
the reorganization agreement which
calls for security holders to deposit
their securities with the reorganiza-
ton managers, Carol M Shanks
and Wallace D. Dexter, jr., in furth-
erance of the reorganization plan,
and many other details of the agree
ment. A proposed order was sub
mitted to Judge Way, but he will not

Final Arguments Heard
On Missouri Pacific
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission heard concluding argument
today in the Missouri-Pacific Rail-
road reorganization proceedings.
Next step will be the issuance by
the commission of a final plan of
reorganization for the bankrupt car
rier. The commissions plan must
be approved by the Federal district
court at st. Louis and by various
classes of creditors.
The argument was devoted chiefly
to the question of whether present
Missouri Pacific stockholders should
receive anything for their holdings.
Spokesmen for bondholders con-
tended present stockholders should
be wiped out, while the railroads
counsel. E. S. Ballard, argued for a
plan to give present stockholders
warrants emitting them to pur-
chase new common stock in the re-
company.

done research work on the intestine
for many years and has been able
to show that while some healthy in
dividuals have two and even three
bowel movements daily, there are
others who have bowel movements
just two or three times a week and
appear to be just as healthy. In
regard to colitis or sensitive colon,
DR.. Alvarez says:
1.-THE more I see of persons with
a sensitive colon-colitis-the less
want to treat the bowel and the
more want to treat the patient. Do
not tell the patient he has colitis
unless the bowel is liberated and
iniamed. We should tell these pa
tients with sensitive colons that they
will probably always have it, that
it will never injure them nor kill
them and it is up to them to learn
to live with it and avoid the things
that make it more irritable"
DR.. Alvarez suggests "quieting
medicine before a dinner party to
prevent the bloating and desire to
90 to stool.

his cottage. He turned it over to
