HARTMAN ON
HIS WAY EAST
Gives Out an Interesting Statement in
Regard to Conditions at San
Francisco.
PLANS FOR REBUILDING CITY
Will Be No Faulty Structures-Says
California is in a Prosperous
Condition.

Omaha, May 10.-E H. Hartman s
special train arrived here at 2:45 p.
IN. on what is expected to be record
breaking run from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast. The highest speed
was made between North Platte
and Green Island in this state. The
1873 miles was covered in ia minutes.
While here Mr. Hartman, in a state.
ment to a representative Of the AS,
sociated Press, said
Harrimans Statement.
when San Francisco is rebuilt no
material damage by any future earth
quake need be feared. Under the new
laws all buildings will be constructed
under requirements which will pre-
vent indiscriminate erection of faulty
structures, and which will promote
the best possible artistic or architec
tural effects by providing that the
height of the buildings shall not ex
ceed one and one-half times the width
of the street, and also that avenues
shall be wider, which will enable not
only the beautifying of the city. but
will prevent the spread of fires in the
future, and make possible a clearer
means of communication or transpor
tation.
Following the experiences of Chi
cag0 and Baltimore, which have suf
| fered from great destructive fires, it is
in every way reasonable to expect that
| San Francisco, upon reconstruction
within a reasonable time, will have
reached a point far beyond that which
it occupied before the earthquake ant
fire.

WORK ON THE
PANAMA CANAL
Chairman Shonts, Of the Isthmian Ca.
nal Commission, Sends in Report
To Taft.
HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Over 10000 Men on the PayroIls-
The American Foremen and For
eiqn Laborers.

Washington, May 1O-In his report
to the secretary of war, Chairman T.
P. Shonts of the isthmian canal COM
mission, says regarding health condi-
tiOns:
Under the direction of Governor
MagOon health conditions on the 18TH
mus are most satisfactory. Notwith-
standing that there are more employees
and their dependents on the isthmus
than ever before (the monthly payrolls
showing from $4,000 to $4,000 employ
es, with daily effective force of about
$4,000 Or 10000 there were fewer pa
tients in the hospitals than for many
months past. DR.. GOrgas reported 45O
beds vacant in the hospitals. There
has been no authentic case of yellow
| fever since last November. Under
the direction of Chief Engineer Stew
ems the bunilding department has
| adopted policy to provide the en-
ployes suitable quarters in which to
live, and it has been carried forward
with great vigor. The building depart
ment has not only provided necessary
! quarters for the existing force,
! but at this time has reserve suffi-
cient to accomdate 5000 additional
laborers
Mess camps have been created at
the different labor camps, where whole
J some and nOurishing food may be OBJ
tanned by labOrers at cost of 10
l cents each, and at this price small
marginal balance in favor of the com
mission is left. 1t is deplorable fact
and one difficult to account for from
a money point of view, that htese lab
orers do not avail themselves of this
except in small numbers. This is no,
due, it is believed, SO much to penur
iousness as to desire to indulge in
eatables less suited to their physical
needs and to crafty other desires.
Four Tracks Laid.

not only have tracks been laid and bal

900 yards of dirt slide have been re

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
Increased Majority for Separation Of
Church and State.

Paris, May 10.-The results of the
election were chiefly important in con.
firming the policy which the govern
ment has thus far pursued. particu-
larly on the questions of separation of
church and state. The groups of those
who supported the government are
strongly increased, while the opposi.
ton grounds are uniformly decreasing
the combativeH nationalists being al
most exterminated. The government
groups are SO much increased that
they are no longer dependent upon
the socialists.

to come down none of it will push
over the prism as it has rome here
tofore. Clay on the top of the cut, on
the other side of the prism which can
not well be handled during the wet
season, has also been removed where
ever there was danger of the side of
the cut going far enough to permit
this clay to slide into the prism this
season. This work is SO well along
that if the present good weather
should continue two or three weeks
more, Culebra cut will be in such
shape as to permit of the removal Of
the largest quantity of material dur
ing the wet season, without danger
from any of the mishaps from slides,
Or derailments due to bad tracks,
which have heretofore ben attendant
upon such efforts.
Chief Engineer Stevens, during the
month OF March, without making any
special effort following the policy of
work herein outlined, removed 24O, 900
cubiv yards of material, with an av-
erage OF 10 7-10 steam shovels work
ing. The reports up to the 18th of
this month indicate large degree oi
efficiency in excavation. He believes
that by July or August he will have
40 shovels installed, and will be in pos
ition to remove 100000 cubic yards
in month. The cost for material hand
led during March, figuring in con
tractors expenses, was 53k cents a
cubic yard. The morals of the force
and its efficiency continues to improve
AS the employees in all the depart
ments gets more familiar with the
work required of them, and as the or
ganization becomes more settled ii
will be able to do considerably better
work.
"As the American foreman become
more accustomed to the ways of the
foreigners. and as the common labor
ers become more familiar with the
work that is expected of them they
are taking more interest in the work
and becoming somewhat efficient
However, it is not expected that any
high degree of labor efficiency viii
be developed until better class o.

MRS. BELCHEUR'S
REASON IS GONE
Affidavit OF DR.. T. D. Tuttle Presented-He Says 1t
Is Doubtful If She Will Ever Again Re-
gain Her Reason--Court Notes.

An affidavit filed in the district court
Wednesday by the defense in the case
of Mrs. Maude Hedges against Mrs.
Adleheid Belcheur carries with it the
Inference that as a result of the bring
ing of this sensational action, Mrs.
Belcheur's reason has become perma-
Eently clouded. The suit was brought
it will be remembered, to recover $25,-
600 damages for the alleged alienation
OF the affections of Mrs. Hedges hus-
band, DR.. Ralph Hedges, by Mrs. Bel.
cheur. The latter was patient in the
hospital here last December and Jan.
uary, and Dr. Hedges was her physi-
clan. 1t is claimed that while he was
acting in that capacity, the intimacy
sprang up between him and his pa
tient.
Time to Answer Extended.
Upon the showing made Wednesday
Judge Cheadle granted the defense to
and including June l., in which to
answer, but ii is apparent that Mrs.
Belcheur can have no part in the pre-
paration of that document.

for her father, a delusion that she
still has. She also labored under the
delusion that she had killed some one.
and frequently said 81 did not want to
kill him" Another delusion was that
blood was SprinEled over everything
in her room, and once when the af-
flant gave her glass Of water, she
insisted that ii was blood. and even
after drinking some of it, said ii tast-
ed like blood. Dr. Tuttle finally had
her placed under the care of the sis
