Special Heads East
CHAUFFEUR IS IN EVIDENCE.
Biz Red Automobile Smashes Police
Regulations on Streets Of salt Lake
This Morning.


The Hartman party left this after
noon for the east after paying a visit
10 the shelters at Murray, The English
men aud fasteners in the party were
out bright and early and appeared to
take a great interest in the attractions
of Salt Lake City. The Hartman RED
deyil with It's French chauffeur big
kakhi dust screen and the legend, 1925
N. y" on the back attracted consider
able attention as 1t smashed all police
regulations to smIthereens, The specta-
Gle Of the stately English representa-
tive of Barring Bros, the famous bank
ers. clutclhng frantcally at his hat
with both hands as he was waited down
S6uth Temple street at S5-mlle gait,
was one that was distinctly ediiying.
The chauffeur also did a few circus
"sttlnts" down on the dr-ot platform
that opened the eyes OF the unsophlstl-
Gated. The automobile and ohaufeur
are carried on the Harrican train, and
M stated intervals are brought out for
exercise. Ii was proposed to take
run 10 Murray at first. Had this plan
been carried out 1t IL believed that
the chauffeur with the resOundlng Pa
rslan name would have had an expert
ence In western roads that would have
Iasted him a life time. As 1t was he
carried an extra pair Of tires and
comniete repair outfit with him even on
the trips up town.

DELAYED BY SINK.
Owing to a sink on the cutoff the
Hartman special did not arrive In salt
Lake until after 10 o'clock last night
making the run from ogden In about
60 minutes. The train stopped IN the
yards lust long enough TO pick up Dr.
Perkins, the Southern Pacific surgeon
at Ogden, and then headed for salt
Lake leaving the officials who had been
waiting around all day to come on IN
another special,
Upon his arrival here President Hor-
rlman chatted with the newspaper
representatives FOR a few minutes ana
then again turned his attention TO mat
tiers connected with railroad interests.
While bordering on the genial Mr. Har-
rman had no information to impart
and lodged leading questions In a
most diplomatic manner For IN
stance, he was asked II Il were true, ~
reported by the Associated Press, that
he had negotiated traffic arrangements
with the Santa Fe. Mr. Hartman
smiled and said: IL would not tell
YOU II | had and I would not tell you

mored changes In traffic, engineering
and other departments Mr., Hartman
dIsclaimed all knowledge or response

ed In the News Mr. Hartman had
not a word 10 say otherwise than that
he had not taken the matter up yet,
He would neither deny or confirm the
story.
SALT LAKE SHOPS,
Regarding the rumor that the big
shops viii not be built at North Salt
Lake as first outlined he said had the
following announcement which was
equally as ambiguous:
THE Improvements and the con-
structlon Of the shops VIII be carried
out according to the terms OF the fran
chise, and we expect to push the mat
ter ahead as fast as circumstances will
permit | don't know why he recent
consolidation should interfere with
this
LUCIN CUTOFF
Mr., Hartman today laughed at the
idea that the Ogden-Luclu cutoff was
TO be abandoned. why" he said,
freight trains are being run over the
cutoff this morning. We went over II
ourselves yesterday Yes. we were held
up for some time by hole IN the grade,
but that Is what we expect until the
track has finally settled There are no
great difficulties to be overcome, none
more than we encounter at various
places on the Southern Pacific. As soon
as the sink Is remedied the cutoff Will
be ready for through traffic"
when asked as TO when passenger
trains would be running across the lake
Mr. Hartman was uon-committal.
Just az soon as possible
HOOD is EMPHATIC.
chief Engineer Hood who planned
the famous CUTOFF, was asked by the
News" for a statement regarding con-
diti0ns on the lake, lie responded by
stating that no had great dislike TO
being interviewed at any time, but right
now II would be proper 10 refer the re.
porter 10 his superior officer, Mr.. liar-
rlman. TO Engineer Berry he entered
into a long dissertation on conditions
which he ayelTed would be shortly
overcome and that the sink hole was
simply another similar experience n
that encountered on the coast, "3ut
II does annoy me-" he said with em-
phasis, that some d. fools are an the
time wiring 10 New York every time
the track settles Bit"
The majority OF the members Of the
party this morning bore mute testimony

cut-off yesterday. Apparently most OF
them climbed down the embankmcnt
