MACNATES SAID
TO Be At OUTS
Hartman Reported to Have
Gained Control of Street
Railways in Los Angeles
HUNTINGTON is ANGRY
Story From the South Says
Banker Hellman Objects
to the Policy of Roads.

The local financial world was startled
yesterday by report that I. w. He'll
man and H. E. Huntington have disa-
greed over the policy of the Pacific
Electric Railway and the Interurban
Railway companies of Los Angeles, in
which they are jointly interested with
T.. ii. Hartman, and that as a result
Banker Hellman has joined with Harri-
man in placing Huntington in the mi
nority in the control of those compa-
nies. 1t was reported that at the recent
election of directors in the companies
named Hellman threw his stock to
Hartman and thereby aided the latter
in selecting several new directors that
are not supposed to be in harmony with
the interests of Huntington.
Last night this story was followed by
another from Los Angeles to the effect
that Huntington has signified his inten-
ton of getting out of the directorate of
the Southern Pacific Company, an an
nouncement that may mean bitter
fight between the three moneyed men.
1t is only a few months ago that peace
was patched up between Huntington
and Hartman after their war in Los
Angeles over rights of way for street
railway companies. 1t was generally
understood that 1. w Hellman was the
peacemaker, and this fact naturally
deepens the interest of the financial
world in the latest report that Hellman
and Huntington are differing In their
business matters.
A confirmation of the stories ahoat
yesterday could not be obtained from
1. w. Hellman last night, but man
who is very close to the banker and
railroad magnate said that 1T was true
that several changes had been made In
the directorate of the two. Los Angeles
street railway corporations, but he did
not regard it as very significant. Con-
tinuing he said:
Although several directors have been
changed, it remains a fact that Henry
Z. Huntington is still president or the
Pacific Electric Railway. AS matter
of fact, Huntington has always been
minority stockholder, but with the aid
of Hellman he has practically dom
mated in the affairs of the companies.
Furthermore. Hellman, as every one
knows, has long been interested with
Hartman and to-day the banker and
his son are representatives of the Har-
riman interests in a number OF the
steam railroads in California"
A representative of The Call tried to
get a statement from H. e. Huntington
in Los Angeles, but he refused to talk
and Immediately closed the mouths OF
his sJfbordinates.

At Vallejo the entire party was
greeted by a committee and headed by
band they We're escorted to the pa
vilion, where a luncheon was spread.
After the pleasant boat ride the eat
ables were heartily enjoyed by the Wis
itors.
At the head Of the long table sat
President Gompers and on either side
Of him were Mayor James Roney of
Vallejo and L. B. Leavitt Of that city,
who acted as toastmaster. Rear Ad-
miral McCalla, representing the navy.
and other officers from the yard were
seated alternately with members of
the executive council and the Vallejo
reception committee. Among the latter
were ]. B. Dale, president of the
Trades and Labor Council of Vallejo
and F. r. Devlin, president of the VAL
lejo Chamber Of Commerce.
The first speaker introduced by Leav-
tit was Mayor Roney, who welcomed
the visitors to Vallejo and told of the
work the federation had done in secur-
ing the building of warships in Gov
ernment yards. Nothing, he declared,
had been OF so much benefit to the
town Of Vallejo, and, he added, the cit
izens would try to show their apprecia-
ton of the federation's good work by
extending its members a hearty well
come.
ADMIRAL McCALLA SPEAKS.
Rear Admiral McCalla was the next
speaker and he began by saying that
he hoped the brotherhood he belonged
TO, the Brotherhood Of Boiler Makers
and Iron Ship Builders, was well repre-
sented. He spoke of the many paths
labor had taken in the fields of COM
merce and said that a trip across the
continent was an education in itself.
From New York's subway to the mines
of the Sierras the hand OF labor was
apparent. and nowhere more so than
in the magnificent fighting craft that
lay in the harbor.
Frank Devlin followed with a few
words Of welcome, to which President
Gompers afterward responded. He
said that If anything confounded the
opponents of organized labor it was
the appearance of great men of the
country mingling with the labor men
at the feast. He told of President
Roosevelt's statement that if he were
a laboring man he would JOIN "a union
in his trade. He then spoke of the
work of labor for universal peace and
said that a nation needed navy SO
long as other nations increased their
ornaments, and that he hoped that the
Government would build an its ships
at it's navy yards
/ Following the luncheon an inspection
was made of the navy yard and the
party boarded the Corcoran for the,

by a thug on Tuesday night that he
expired from his injuries in less than

lead to the detection OF the murderer.

he was taking his departure for the
purpose Of returning to the ship he
informed Pierson that he would again
call on Tuesday night. at which time
he desired Pierson to accompany him
to a tailor shop, where he intended to
buy suit Of clothes. Pierson waited
in vain all of the earlier portion OF
the following evening and finally re-
tired, thinking that the sailor had
either forgotten or had accepted some
other engagement
1t was nearly midnight when PIER
son was awakened by the doorbell.
When he responded he found Ulin
standing on the porch In a dazed con-
dition- At once the mate explained
that he was IN great pain and asked
Pierson to take him in and care for
him. He said he was walking along
Folsom street when some one struck
him from behind. knocking him help

ODD FELLOWS GROWING.
Gain $4,000 in Iowa Membership
in a Year.

The Odd Fellows have been holding
their annuel meeting at Mason City, re-
Gently. The reports of officers show
gain of $4,000 in the ranks of the order
in Iowa during the past year. Seven
new lodges were instituted during the
year, at Eaglewood, Ainsworth, Potts
vile, Antl.on, Buxton, Bronson and
Green Mountain, respectively.
Secretary Tilton's report says:
"Since District Deputy Grand Sire
John G. Potts instituted the grand lodge
of Iowa on the first day of May, 1913,
fifty-siX years ago, the membership in
this jurisdiction has increased on an
average of nearly 1000 year.
"Since the grand lodge met at Mason
City in 1896, only eight years, our order
order in this jurisdiction has grown
from a membership of 37,025 to 51,O16,
nearly 1000 a year.
"In the date list of grand lodges in
stituted, Iowa stands tifty-first, but in
membership Iowa stands seventh, hav-
ing $4,000 of the grand total of isl ,421
subordinate members.
"And in Rebekha membership Iowa
stands second, having $4,000 of the
grand total of 447, 5S7."

A Corn Husklng Machine.

What is said to have been one among
the first corn husking machines tested
in Iowa was set up and given trial on
one of Rev. Father Hayes farms near
Imogene few days ago. The expert
ment was not entirely satisfactory and
yet the result was not wholly discourag-
ing and gives promise that more expert
cnce in operation with minor changes
and some necessary adjustments the
machine will prove a success. Under
present conditions too much help is
necessary to operate the husker, five
horses and four men being required,
while the amount of corn that can be
put in the crib in one day when the
machine works we'll is placed at 400
bushels. The husking was not done as
we'll as by hand, too many husks and
some stalks passing through the
machine, but these defects it is thought
will be overcome by more skillful opera
ton. A large number of farmers were
interested spectators of the experiment
and the concensus of opinion was that
four men will crib as much corn each
day and do the work much more salts
factory. All new machines, however
have been looked upon with disfavor in
the beginning and this one may yet
turn out to be as valuable as the many
improved farm implements that are now
indispensable to the modern agricultur
alist. The corn husker has doubles
come to stay.
