HARTMAN ON S. P. PLANS.
Keene Suit Has Not Retarded Improvements
More Steamers Bought.

San Francisco, April 2S-E. II. Hartman. presi-
dent OF the Southern Pacific company, said to-day
that he was not here to meet H E. Huntington in
conference and denied that he interested in
the new streetcar service in Los Angeles. Speaking
of the plans of the Southern Pacific he said:
Our people have two large steamers in the
Pacific mail service, and have just been
bought in the East These four steamers aggregate
$4,000 tons. This is equal to about the tonnage of
of the vessels in here. Other ships VIII
be Forthcoming a the traffic warrants them.
The railroad company by the end Of next month
will complete the reconstruction of the Central
Pacific between Reno and Ogden. a fast service
overland will then be possible. Surveys for 4 long
tunnel through the Sierra Nevada Mountains are
being completed. When that work is done reduction
I'm time be made
The Keene suit has not in the least prevented the
company from spending all of its annual surplus IN
betterments and additions Every effort will be
made to continue that policy until all necessary i'm
provements are made.
Asked when he thought the company would be
able TO pay dividend. Mr.. Hartman replied that
he was not looking that far into the future.
