But Hartman said other things OF

statement really means he must real

point of honor statements like these
would be regarded as nothing less
than personal insults. A century ago
they would have called for coffee and
pistols. Dualing Is no longer in vogue.
Has honor gone out of fashion also?
John Shelton Williams said things as
severe concerning Ryan. and they bore
on the very point that Hartman touch

MISS BUSCH FLEEs SCANDAL.
Denial of Attempted Forced Marriage
Made by Scharrar

Made by seharrar.
st. Louis. Mo, Jan. 2.-Lieutenant
Eduard Scharrar of the Kaiser's re-
serves, who created a sensation last
| Wednesday by his romantic trip to
Belleville with Miss Wilhelmina Busch
continued to press his suit for the
heart and hand OF the daughter Of the
millionaire brewer despite the fact that
she has gone into retirement for the
present. She is now in seclusion at
her brothers county seat In ST. Louis
county.
The lieutenant refuses to discuss his
case, but he became quite indignant
when he was asked concerning story
to the effect that he tried to force Miss
Busch to wed him because he desires
portion of the Busch millions.
ITS a lie" he exclaimed with
clenched fist as he grew red in the face
Its a cowardly lie. See Mr.. Busch
and get the facts"
A reporter called to see Mr.. Busch
but he was even more noncommunica-
tive than the lieutenant. AN he would
say was that Lieutenant Scharrar and
1 are very good friends. Enough has
already been said about the case"
| 1t became public yesterday that a
family conference was held at the
Busch home at which Lieutenant
J Scharrar was participant.
The result of this conference was
that Miss Busch must decide the mat
ter for herself whom she Is to marry
The family will have no voice, leaving
| all to her discretion.
| Lieutenant Scharrar refuses to state
what his next move will be. 1t is pro-
bable he will remain here until he gets
| his cue from the actions Of the Busch
| family.
Hoerner Tells His Story.

Busch glass works at Belleville, told
the story OF his bringing the clipping

and for me to go get her and bring
her home.

for Miss Busch, sending up my card
to room 1.
IT knew Miss Busch at once, as
knew her we'll, having known her since
she was mere child. had seen Lieu
| tenant Scharrar before, though had
never been introduced to him.
when they came down Miss Busch
presented the lieutenant and after
moments chat we started back to st
Louis. We walked to the corner of the
public square, where the street cars
stop, and waited for car. We had to
wait only few minutes.
Miss Busch and Lieutenant Schar-
rar sat together and sat in seat I'M
mediately behind him. Miss Busch
seemed in good spirits and talked free
" both in English and in German.
Looked Like EIopement.
'tMiss Busch turned to me shortly
/. after we started and said: This looks
pretty much like an elopement, does
MT it?' l agreed with her that 1t did
look like an elopement, but nothing
further was said on that score"

enter into his attitude II SO he Is moi
peculiar in Wall street, for to play the
modern game of high finance men
have to control their tempers and they
seemingly have to become calloused to
considerations Of ethics and honor.
Threatening Reply.
Perhaps the most sensational part of
the Hartman testimony related to po-
litical influence. Ryan had alleged that
Hartman had demanded half share
in the Equitable stock, threatening, at
least by implication, that if he did not
receive it he would use all his influ-
ence, political and otherwise, against
the deal. It was when questioned as
to whether he had used this influence
that he made the significant and threat
ening reply, Not yet" When interro-
gated more closely concerning this po-
litical influence Odell was brought into
the game. Now, Odell and Hartman
have long been close friends. 1t has
even been charged that the two have
played into each others hands in large
ways in the past; that the railroad
magnate, for example, had helped the
New York boss to get his money out
of the shipbuilding mixup; that Harri-
man had stepped In and saved Depew,
using his influence with Odell when
Of throwing the senator down in his
candidacy for reelection, and that
but why extend the list? The world is
full OF .nmsrs, the political world espe-
cially. That fairly oozes with more
kinds Of gossip than the ancient quilt
ing bee. Old man "It Is Said" is the
busiest politician of them all.
Through all this mist of allegations
one fact stands forth clearly. 1t at
least is undisputed. Odell and Harri-
man are and have been very close to-
gether. Chief Inquisitor Hughes never
overlooks things of this kind So when
he had Hartman worked up to the
right pitch he urbanely asked:
ut has been charged that through
your relation with Mr.. Odell you have
pOllllCdl muueuCe WI dl WOu1u you
say as to that?"
"Well," replied Mr.. Hartman, 81
should think Mr.. Odell had political in
duence because Of his relations with
me-"

IN power ana influence Is easily the
4 head Of the FIST Morgan formerly was
there, but the younger man passed him
some time ago. It is safe to say that
Hartman will keep the lead. He has
habit Of Keeping things. He once
said to bunch Of newspaper men who
came to question him about the rumor
that Morgan and Hill had wrested from
him the control Of the Union Pacific:
II guess that isn't so. I have never
yet let 60 Of anything that wanted
after getting it in my possession"
Ordinarily Mr. Hartman does not
talk much. Lately he has been more
loQuacious, but he could not help that.
It was all On account Of Hughes and
that insurance Investigation. A whole

% keep quiet have been saying things

Pregnant Ejaculation.
Mr.. Hartman thinks so rapidly that
It is Impossible fer him to express him
self IN mere words. At one famous
meeting Of the Equitable directors he
Ibecamssiso ssurcharged with burning
ideas that all he could do was to give
.utterance to the memorable sentence,
'sWow. WOW, wow!' That pregnant
ejaculation was ffeighted with more
meaning than is contained in many
