j. T. Jackson, superintendent OF
county bridge work, is "up against it."
He has been trying for a week to get
ten men with teams for dirt work, and
has as yet been unable to get even one
man and team. He is about at his
wits end, as the work should be done
before cold weather sets in if at ALL and
there is no way to do it without men
and teams.
Marshalltown, however, is not the
only place where labor is scarce. The
town is placarded with want cards cir-
culated by the Newton & Northwest

A. few hours later the daring rob-

Kearney arrived they took him into

Magnate's Dream of Con

tic to Pacific Is Realized
HARAHAN ELECTED
FISH'S SUCCESSOR
Under New Deals Unified
System May Embrace
$4,000 Miles of Railroad


NEW YORK, Nov. by the
election today of J. T. Harahan as
president of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company to succeed
Stuyvesant Fish it is believed that
E. H. Hartman has at last real
lied the fulhllment of his plan to
control a railroad line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. In
this great plan the Illinois Central
was the one link missing to COM
plete a line of track from New
York to San Francisco and Port
land, Or, from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico, and from
the gulf to the Pacific again.
The first important step in the direc-
tion of securing the outlet on the At
lantic seaboard of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads is believed
to have been taken by Mr. Hartman
several weeks ago. when it was re-
ported that one of the roads under his
control had taken over control of the
Baltimore and Ohio by the purchase of
a block of 100000 shares of the Balti-
more and Ohio Company. which was
sold by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
Taken together this system of Harri-
man railroads, if united. puts under
one control more than $4,000 miles of
track capitalized at more than s1.7eo.-
100000.
James T. Harahan, vice president of
the Illinois Central. was elected presi-
dent OF the company at meeting of
the board of directors in this city by
vote of eight to nothing. the ad-
herents of President Stuyvesant Fish

have been a stormy one. The direc-
tors who voted for Mr. Harahan were
John Jacob Astor. John W. Auchinloss,

E. H. Hartman. Walter Luttgen.

of the board.

was not present owing to illness.
Shortly before the meeting the di-
rectors who voted for Mr. Harahan
sent letter to President Fish. giving
their reasons for refusing to vote for
his reelection. The letter declared
that in June last, without consulting
the other members of the board of di-
rectors. Mr.. Fish issued a circular to
the stockholders requesting proxies for
the annual election. At the next meet
ing of the board. it was declared, Mr..
Fish. by breaking the quorum, de-
feated a resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee to solicit proxies.
Later. Fish and Hartman effected an
agreement by which the Hartman
Kuhn-Loeb proxies should be given to

selection of a successor to Grinnell at

Forest was Harriman's choice, but the
statement says Fish absolutely refused
to vote the proxies as agreed, and in
stead used the proxies to elect Fish's
individual nominee. Fish further wrote
and caused to be published statements
rejecting on his fellow directors.

Kanaka Tells of His
Relations With
Women.
Wife Was His Ideal

Seen after a day that was
crowded with trying incidents for
him, John Siemsen, self-confessed
leader of the gaspipe murderers,
showed no trace OF worry or
huster in his cell in the Bush
street station last night.
He was putting at big black
cigar. and said that he had no
complaint to make Of the Jail fare
on which he had just dined.
"I've eaten BETTER" he said,
but that wouldn't prove any
thing. They've treated me pretty
decently since I've been here, and
| have no kick coming.
Il hope, though, that I won't
be kept as busy for the remainder
of my stay here. First I had to
stand up before Dr. Leland and
tell him in detail how | and Dab
ner relieved him of his loose
change. I could see that the doc
tor was inclined 10 question nv
story because he had already
identified a man that was rail-
roaded for a fifty years SEN
tence for the job, but 1 un-
derstand from the police that
he has changed his mind since seeing
Dabner- There ought to be no doubt
about the innocence OF Jim Sutton IN
this job. and hope that he'll be soon
seeing more sun than can be caught
through the bars OF a cell at Folsom.
