ROAST FOR HARTMAN.
Los Angeles Express Says His Presi-
dents Are His Clerks"

The Los Angeles Express hands out
a not roast for E H Hartman. Speak
ing of his election to succeed H. q.
Burt which at that time had not ta-
ken place, the Express says:
1t is declared the place of president
of the Southern Pacific was offered to
several men of reputation, all of whom
declined it, for the reason, they said,
that they would not act as messengers
or clerks for the head of the Hartman
railway syndicate. 1t is presumed Mr..
Hartman will succeed President Burt
of the Union Pacific for the same rea-
son.
Differences between Mr. Hartman
and President Burt are believed to
have arisen from the fact that the last
named insisted that men in the Union
Pacific shops should work by the
piece. To this the labor organizations
affected declined to accede. President
Hartman in his visit to Omaha settled
the controversy by siding with the men
against President Burt
Railway men conversant with the
facts declare that E. H. Hartman has
a habit of sending for presidents of his
several railway systems to come to
| New York to receive orders. Such
trips have resulted in General Man
ager Julius Kruttschnitt of the South
/ ern Pacific being dragged across the
continent on short notice, and when he
arrived at Mr.. Harriman's Wall street
! offices being made to wait in an ante
room for some time, only to find the
president of the Southern Pacific had
gone out by a private door to go on a
shooting trip that lasted several days
after he had forgotten altogether OF
Mr.. Kruttschnitt's close proximity.
1T would not surprise the initiated
were Traffic Director c. J. Stubs tC

CONSCIENCE CAMPAIGN.
Subject of Col. Bryan's Address
at New Haven Banquet.

New Haven. Jan. 12.-William j.
Bryan was the guest of honor last
night at a banquet in Warner hall at
which about $50 Democrats were pres
ent. Governor Garvin of Rhode lsland
and Congressman De Almond of Mis-
souri, were among the guests from other
states The occasion took the form OF
a celebration of Jackson day. and was
also declared by some Of its promoters
to be intended as sort OF prelude 10
the opening of the presidential cam
paign in New England.
Mr. Bryans topic was "a Conscience
Campaign" He said in part:
The word Campaign suggests war
fare. 1t is good tactics to strike the
enemy where he is weakest and to use
the wea ~ons which are most effective.
The weak point of every bad policy is
that it sacrifices human rights to sell
fish interests, and today to prove sys-
tenn evil we only have to show that 1t
violates a sense of justice that is sat
isfied with nothing less than equal right
to all and special privileges to none.
The only appeal that is permanent in
its effectiveness and enduring in Its
usefulness is the appeal to conscience,
and while it NAV seem weakness to the
brutal and folly to the sordid, it arouses
a response that is at last irresistible.
''If we would touch the conscience OF
others We must give evidence that our
conscience has been quickened. The
great issue at this time is the issue be-
tween man and mammOn, between plu-
tocracy and democracy: All surface. ques-
tions of policy and of taxation, of reg
ulation and of finance are but phases OF
that century-Iong, that worldwide strug-
ganized wealth TO say that it does not
pay for a nation to violate the rights OF

cation and division that many get los

STEAL WASTE TO START FIRES
New Trick of the Hobos at the Ex-
pense of the Railways.

At this season of the year the rail-
roads in this section are having consid-
cradle trouble with tramps travelling over
the line, and who annoy the railroads
in many ways.
One of their favorite tricks is to rob
the journal boxes of cars standing on
the sidings to get waste with (which to
start fires. Superintendent Jones of the
Tucson division of the Southern Pacific,
has Just issued a bulletin to all train
men in which he states that during the
past few weeks a good many journals
have been burnt off, as a result OF
tramps stealing the waste out of the
boxes and he has issued instructions
that conductors when picking up cars
that have been standing on a siding
where tramps are likely to congregate
must have their brakemen examine the
boxes of all such cars, and when found
empty they must be epacked.-Albu-
querque Journal-Democrat.

were forged, after which the checks
were cashed in different saloons about
the city.
So far the guilty parties have not been
located. They were evidently men,
however, who were well posted on the
division. as they seemed to have no
hesitancy in cashing the checks about
the city.
The checks being for men on the east
ern part of the division, the person who
cashed them had no means of telling
whether they were in the right hands
or not, as the men in whose favor they
were drawn were not well known in
Tucson.
Thirteen checks have so far thus
shown up, aggregating in value about
two thousand dollars. The company
has just advised the men who lost their
checks that vouchers would be sent i'm
mediately for their back pay.

Into Blanket.

The attention of an early morning
crowd on Columbus avenue, at New
York, was attracted by a large tomcat
perched on a girder of the elevated
road directly underneath the ties. He
had evidently been there most of the
night, and looked badly scared.
What excited the crowd was the
narrow escape the animal had every
time he tried to climb up to the track.
Time and again he would poke his head
up and duck just as a train roared over
him. Between attempts he sat and
mewed. 1t was a thirty-foot jump, or
a climb down an iron pillar.
A changing crowd, that kept grow
ing, watched the cat for three hours.
