MACNATE TALKS
OF PROSPECTS
Hartman Declares Southern
Pacific VIII Equal Any
System in the Country
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, June PIE. H. Hartman,
president of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn, who is here attending the Repub-
lican National Convention, said to-day:
'"rhe plans under way for the South
ern Pacific viii make it second not even
to the Pennsylvania system. The pro-
posed issue of Southern Pacific stock
is apparently misunderstood. The pres
ent stock will sell at an advance be-
fore a great while and as a matter of
fact the proposed stock issue is really
a dividend Of per cent on the present
stock.
THE general situation, it seems tO
me, is excellent There seems now to
be little question of a plentiful crop
and railroad earnings everywhere are
showing better. Money is more plen-
tiful and these conditions are usually
a prelude to a season of general pros
perity. Altogether I believe the coun-
try is in magnificent 'hape."

NEW YORK, June 21.-A decision
of much interest to importers of fish
has been handed down by the board of
United States general appraisers. It
is in favor of the importers.
About six months ago the general
appraisers said that the brine sur
rounding packed fish must be included
in the dutiable weight. The board now
explains that its former decision must
be interpreted TO mean that only the
brine adhering to the fish after they
have been drained shall be included

MRS. BLACKS STATEMENT.

Mrs James Black, when seen at her
home in Oakland, said that she did not
know what impelled her husband to
take his life unless il was the knowl-
edge that he had ruined his business
through spending all his money on
Miss Hunt. She told the following
story:
was married to Black ten years ago. About
three years ago he opened a wonen's tailor
ing establishment at 530 Fourteenth street and
employed Miss Hunt TO assist him. From that
time he began TO neglect the children and
myself and 70 spend all his money on her.
Although she knew I was aware Of her con-
duct. she seemed TO have no shame and would
wait until my husband was ready TO close the
shop and then the two would go away to-
NV husbands infatuation for this woman
continued until he was so deeply in debt that
he had to sell out his business last March.
Two weeks ago he left home to go to San
Francisco as he said, TO go TO work Before
he left I begged him to break with Miss Hunt
and he told me that he had seen her for the
last time.
Mrs. Turner, the landlady of the
house where Miss Hunt resides, said
that the girl had been living there for
a month and that no man had visited
her during that period.
Black was a member Of the Scottish
Society of Oakland, and will be buried
by that organization. Besides his
widow, two children survive him. Their
ages are 4 and years.
