Mrs. Shaw gave them a farewell recep-s
ton and banquet at the opera
house. The governors friends
from Denison and all over the county

c., to enter Presidents Roosevelt's cab
inet. The reception lasted for about two

Kuehnle, Hon. j. B. Romans, Hon. Chas.
Bullock, P.E.C.Lally and Governor Shaw.
The governor said that he regretted very
much to leave Denison, his home and
friends and emphatically said: MY
home is not for sale:" that he hoped to
come back to, Denison when his official
career in Washington was ended; that
he would enjoy staying with his friends
better than to go to Washington, but
thought that it was his duty to go.
Governor and Mrs. Shaw have many
warm friends in Denison and Crawford
county, who grieve very much to see
them leave. but who are very proud that
their fellow citizen should be called to
such places OF honor and trust.
The governor and Mrs. Shaw left this

Hartman insisted that the common
interest of all systems now affiliated
under the Northern Securities Company
must be considered rather than the 90
called Community of interest He said
he was a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Securities company and Hill
was it's president, but the combination
under that company affected rates in no
wise. That formation of the Northern
Securities Company and the association
of so many roads might influence rates
brought denial. "It may enable US, :"
said Hartman, when brought 80 close
together, to eliminate the prevailing
distrust as to various lines maintaining
traffic rates. Complaint has been of too
high rates. We may be able to stop
in the rates of one ship

The suggestion was made by the COM
mission that this company might also
prevent reduction of published rates by
roads. He did not consider

tration for pooling. Other larger consid-

tition ever reduced rates more than

HARTMAN TESTIFIES.
Tells of His Purchase of Northern Pa
cific Stock and Declares no Agree
ment as to Traffic Has Been Made
With Hill.

Chicago, Jan 25.-E H Hartman,
who organized the Southern Pacific
Union Pacific combination, was the first
witness at today's session of the inter-
state commerce commission inquiry into
the Community of interests" combina-
ton of the great railways Of the north
vest. The line of questioning by coun-
sci for the commission led up to the
statement OF the great Wall street panic
last May, when Northern Pacific stock
went up to $1,000 per share. Hartman
testified that the Oregon Short Line,
aided by the Union Pacific. had pur-
chased some $7S.000,000 of Northern Pa
oiflc stock, and the Union Pacific, thru
the voice of its directors, controlled the
Southern Pacific. 1t was developed that
all his Northern Pacific stock which was
held in the names of Hartman and
Winslow Pierce, was sold last summer.
An effort was made to learn why the
purchase had been made only to sell
again. Hartman said the Oregon Short
Line people thought it would be advan-
tageous to have an interest In the
Northern Pacific and purchased stock
that was lying loose all over this coun-
try and Europe and they purchased a
majority of the capital stock. No stock
was acquired during the panic in May.
Counsel Day tried to show the. contest
for Northern Pacific stock was the fore
runner of the panic on change, but Har-
riman insisted that such was not the
case.
Just why Hartman had disposed of
his Northern Pacific holdings, what
was lost or made by transaction,
whether Hill had made some agree
ment in case holdings We're sold,
brought from Hartman the response
that natural conditions controlled. He
said he did not know any gain was
made except that his interests found
out that they We're strong enough to
hold their own in Pacific traffic. He
said Hill had given no assurances OF
any division of traffic and the motive
Of the original purchase has been that
of preserving the Union Pacific sys-
TENS avenues of traffic open to 1t.
You wish to represent that no ono
of the other half of the Northern Pa
cific interests made any promise in
control. Hartman replied: There
is common interest among us all,
and we believe that common inter
est will be served regardless of holds
ings. That common interest can be
served by natural conditions. Our In
are SO in common that we can

Lost Creek. Ia, Jan. 25.-Twenty-one
dead were this morning removed from
the ,nproyised mcrgue in shaft two OF
the Lost Creek Coal Mining CompaG
here as n result of the worst mine dds
aster In the history OF Iowa When
brought to the surface they presented
horrible sight, many terribly mangled.
The eleven injured are improving and
no additional deaths are anticipated.
Coroner Foshlinger. of oskaloosa, is to-
aay ho,dins an inquest to determine
who IL responsible for the disaster.
zee effect of the explosion was simply
terrific. Tracks were torn up and the
guide for the cages blown away. On
shis account they could not be operated
for three hours The fans were also
damaged and could not be used to ven
tilate the mine Immediately. All entry
doors were blown completely out and no
system of ventilation could be arranged
until the doors We're replaced by yolun-
teers, 1t being almost certain death to
go into the mine. AS coon as the cages
could be operated, volunteers speedily
stepped forward. The first man to en-
ter the mine was James Timbrell. gen.
eral superintendent. He was eagerly
followed by many others. who took
turns In going to the relief of victims.
The mine was fully explored and
twenty dead bodies were found Coron-
er Foehlinger took charge of the dead
bodies, removing them this morning.
He caused them to be taken to the
company's store about mile distant.
Here an improvised morgue was es-
tablis,hed and the bodies were wrapped
in blankets. The coroner did not deem
dt advisable to expose them to the view
of the crowd
The shaft where the accident occurred
has been operated about eighteen
months. 1t has been thought perfectly
safe. The ventilation is perfect, the on
ly possible fault ever found being that 1t
was a little dusty at times. The explo-
sion occurred east and north of the
shaft in east entries and almost all in
that part Of the mine were killed or
hurt. All the mincGs on the west side
escaped injury and got out of the mine.
In fact some did not know of the acci-
dent until called on for help.

books compulsory. This is the bill that
is backed by labor unions and others
and is strongly recommended. The sss-
TEN proposed is an extension of the
present system where there are free
text books furnished, only it makes it
compulsory all over the state. Senator
Hazleton is strongly for the bill, but it
is understood many educators of the
state are well satisfied with the present
law.
The committees have not been able to
do much yet because the bills are not
printed and members do not like to go
before committees until the bills are in
the hands of persons interested. By next
week a large batch will be on hand.
