the injured were rushed to the Po-
.trero Hospital, several died while
awaiting treatment.
The small wards of the Potrero Hos
pital were soon filled with the dead

scene was terrible. But in the midst
of the suffering the surgeons worked
calmly and swiftly over the charred
victims.

HARTMAN WANTS LAST WORD
Says He Has Nothing Further To Say
On Letter ontroversy--HiII, The
Stenosrspher Who Caused The Trou.
bic Has Been Arrested.

CHICAGO. April A dispatch to
the Tribune from washington says:
The big interests Of the country have
inaugurated movement to jiscredit
President Roosevelt and prevent the
achievement Of his railroad and other
reform polIticies. and to block the nomi-
nation by the Republican party of Sec
retary Taft or any other Roosevelt
men. This movement is now under
way in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Cali
forria. This is the information Pres
dent Roosevelt has received from a
source In which he places reliance.
The men behind this movement are
E H. Hartman. ]. Pierpont Morgan,
the RockefelIers and other Standard
OIL interests, the Tobacco Trust, and
certain other capitalistic combinations
which have suffered from the Presi-
dents activity.
The movement is much like what is
known as the "Rich mems conspiracy .
of 1O4, when at a meeting Hartman,
so the President has been informed,
solemnly expressed his conviction that
he could deliver the delegates to the
Republican convention from Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado,
and California to an anti-Roosevelt
man. Investigation demonstrated that
this claim was preposterous.
1t was apparent fro mwhat the Pre-
ident said to newspaper men yesterday
that he is not at ali concerned about
the movement which has been started
against him.
The President is quite content to ac-
icept the age of battle offered by Har-
riman and the other trust magnates.
1t is out of the question now for him
and Hartman ever to resume friendly
relations. The publication of Harri-
mans letter to Sidney Webster, Stuy-
vesant Fish's brother in law, alleging
that the President had begged him to
collect contributions to save the nation
al elections and the Presidents re-
sponse through Representative Sher-
man of Ney York ends any hope of re-
Cancellation between the two.
