NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
New President Of i. c. VIII Not Have
as Much Authority as Formerly.

as Much Authority as Formerly.
Executive and operating officials
express the opinion thai Harahan, as
president of the Illinois Central, prob
ably Will exercise less authority than
he did, in his vice presidential ca
pacity, under Fish. They believe that
Julius Kruttschnitt, director OF main
tenance and operation of the Union
Pacific, who is one of Harriman's most
trusted men, will really manage the
Illinois Central.
Because Harahan sides against Fish
it is thought that he will have little of
the confidence of financiers and rail-
road men, or even of Hartman. There
would be no surprise in railroad cir
cles should Harahan hold the title Of
president of the Illinois Central and
Kruttschnitt be the actual director of
the system.
Another point raised IS that the state
of Illinois, owing to its heavy material
interest in the Illinois Central, will not
c~omplacently allow the Illinois Cen
tral. which is now an independent
road to become a mere link in the
Hartman lines, and part of the prop
critics of the Commodity Of interests
which controls practically all the big
eastern lines, the Hartman lines and
the Santa Fe- It is predicted that a
Hartman victory will incite the en-
nifty of the state of Illinois. The in
dications are. railroad men say, that
the Observation-Disclosures alliance Will
not march on a path of flowers.

SHARKS SWAN AROUND HIM
Thrilling Experience of DODey
Sailor Overheard in the
Gulf of Alden.


When the German steamship Liebenfels
left Bombay there were thirty-six Lascars
I'm its crew. but there came an addition
TO the ranks Of the dark visaged iremen
in a most unexpected manner when the
steamship was passing through the Gulf
Of Alden Chief Engineer Hensel made
the discovery and, at the same time, was
the means of saving the life of one Mara
Hassan Bin, erstwhile a sailor on
British steamship passing through the
gulf eastward bound. The extreme heat
of the stoke hole had made Mara Hassan
"dippy," as he himself later acknowledged,
and he had dived overheard at night with
suicidal attempt The plunge brought
him to his senses, but he was swimming
about in a big sea, with no land in sight,
and hope seemed almost useless.
AS the Liebenfels was passing up the
gulf. bound for Suez, Chief Hensel, who
had turned in shortly before midnight
and could not sleep owing to the oppres-
sive atmosphere, heard faint cry in the
distance that seemed to come across the
gulf. Then he heard the well-known cry
of "Anahl Allah!" coming over the
waters 1t is the plaintive prayer of every
Musselman sailor, and Hensel knew that
some Lascar was on the sea and wanted
help.
Captain Waterman stopped the ship
and played his searchlight on the sea
until he made out the frowsy head of
Lascar. Those on the Liebenfels declare
that there were sharks all about the man,
but Il IS a well-known fact that sharks
draw the color line sharply.
The mysterious swimmer was hauled
aboard and between his means for "Allah'
managed TO tell his story. He had been
swimming around in the Gulf Of Alden
for over four hours, a most unheard Of
thing, and had lived TO tell the story.
Mara Hassan was put to work as a sailor,
which work he performed in good shape
on board the German boat-when he was
not praying TO Allah by throwing himself
down on the deck at unexpected moments.
on one occasion on the way up the Allan
tic Mara Hassan Frustrated himself sud
denly while carrying a tray filled with
yiands for the captains dinner, and the
trap and its contents we're a sorry sight
Mara Hassan recovered his mental fac
ulties gradually from the day that he was
rescued and declared, upon his arrival
here that he would never again tempt
fate in the Gulf Of Alden, where the
sharks even II they do not touch black
man, make swimming decidedly uncom-
fortable.-Brooklyn Eagle.

DREYFUS' COUSIN AS A WAITER
French Omcer Now in
Chicago,

Louis Dreyfus, cousin OF Captain Ale
fred Dreyfus, is employed as head walter
at the Coliseum in Chicago. The fortunes
Of the Dreyfus family, as related by the
Chicagoan, prove that the celebrated prts-
oner OF Devils island, II the most unfor-
tunate, Is not the only one Of his name
to experience strange vicissitudes.
Louis Dreyfus was born and educated in
the town of Milhausen in the province OF
Alsace. where his father was wealthy
manufacturer of cordials the town was
also the birthplace and home OF his more
famous cousin and the two families grew
up side by side until war and fortune or
dained for them widely different fates. AL
fred Dreyfus was early in life destined for
a military career and with that end In
view was entered as pupil In a French
military school. His cousin and the lat
ter's three brothers were educated along
commercial lines. Then came the war OF
1872 and the province of Alsace became a
portion of the German empire. The two
families took different sides. Alfred Drey-
fus. as an embryo officer of the French
army, carried the sympathies OF his peo-
pie to France Louis Dreyfus' family
adopted the eagle Of the conquerer.
1t would appear that the dominant trait
of the Dreyfus family was militarlsm, for
on reaching manhood Louis Dreyfus and
his brothers, Carl and Emil entered the
German army, abandoning the peaceful
commercial career which their father had
planned for them. They soon found that
the bitter and ignorant prejudice which
was at a later day to martyrise their
French cousin and cause such foul blot
on the military escutcheon of France, eX-
listed TO a far greater extent in the Ger
man army.
1.-THE French people are not naturally
bieoted or narrow minded" is Louis Drey-
fus comment but in the German army
it is absolutely impossible for a Jew TO
became an officer. or course the law Of
fers no objection. but his brother officers
would hound Hebrew from their ranks.
Recently the son of one of the wealthiest
Jewish bankers in Berlin entered the Ger
man army as an officer. He was COM
pleteIy ostracized and treated with SO
much contumely that he was forced to
resign"
Louis Dreyfus' fourth brother served
with distinction in the Boer army in the
South African campaign and was created
adiutant general. Louis himself finding
German army life far from congenial left
Germany to seek his fortune in America,
Of which country he has become natural
lied citizen. A Jew by blood and religion.
