HARTMAN SEES DANGER.
Says He Is Not Opposed to Panama Canal,
but Decries Anti-Railway Agi-
tation.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 1.-E. Fl.
Hartman, president Of the Union Pa
cifc and allied lines, addressing an audi
ence of Seattle business men last night,
denied that he is opposed to the Pana-
ma canal, but warned the people against
what he termed the "anti-railroad agita..
tion,' which is now so pronounced
throughout the country. He said that
while water transportation should be en-,
couraged, the people must not forget
land transportation, which is of greater
Importance. This is Harriman's first
public utterance on the subject of the
Panama canal He promised the Seattle
shippers that the Union Pacific would
reach the city as soon as the necessary
franchises are granted.
