Supervisors Utilities Committee De-
cides to Defer Resolution Until
Car Strike Is Settled

The public utilities committee of the
board of supervisors held a secret ses-
sion yesterday for the purpose of
agreeing on report upon the resolu-
tion introduced by Tveitmoe declaring
the franchises of the United Railroads
forfeited for violations of the condi-
tions imposed therein. Supervisors
Gallagher, Boxton and Coleman reit-
Grated their public utterances that the
adoption OF the resolution was inad-
yisable at the present time. They
urged that action on the resolution be
postponed until the settlement of the
car strike. IT was said after the meet
ing that majority, at least, of the
committee would file a report recon-
mending thst the resolution be tenn
porarily shelved.
This recommendation is sure to pro-
woke verbal battle on the part of
Tveitmoe and several other supervisors
who are affiliated with the labor unions
and who are determined that the United
Railroads must be punished for it's re-
fusal TO accede to the demands of or
ganized labor.

Senator CuIlom of Illinois. as be
emerged from the White House today.
Senator Cullom intimated that he had
told the President the same thing.
CulIom explained that he believed that
Hartman deserved a term in prison
for his financing methods in connection
with the Chicago and Alton Railroad.

of bonds. He said that the investors

certain TO lose money on them while
Hartman reaped a rich profit
cullom was asked whether the State
of Illinois would be able to invalidate
the bonds.
Il doubt it,- he replied. Governor
Deneen is giving the subject consider
alton, but I do not know that any
thing can be done about it."
Senator Cullom indicated that he
thought that President Roosevelt was

HARTMAN A MYSTERY
Market Is in Doubt as to Magnate
and Itself

NEW YORK. March 21.-Opinions in
the brokers' Offices as to the future
course OF the market differ widely. In
certain quarters the belief is ex-
pressed that liquidation has about run
its course and that the present fever
ish market will be replaced by q more
or less bull market. Those who hold
to this view believe that Z. II. Harri-
man was sincere when he said the other
day that the bears had had their in
nings and that there was going to be
q change.
But there are many who feel that
Harriman's cheerfulness was assumed
for the occasion, and that he was. and
still is, very much worried over the
swing of Union Pacific. The street
would like most of all to have this
Union Pacific matter cleared up.
While the question, HAS Hartman
lost control of Union Pacific:" is now
asked less frequently than in the past

Foreign Interests

WASHINGTON March 21.-Blue-
Jackets and marines have been landed
from the United States gunboat Mari
eta at Trujillo and Ceiba and prob
ably at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in
order to protect American interests in
those ports Advices to this effect were
received at the Navy Department to-
day from Commander Fullam of the
Marietta, and they were at once trans
mitted to the State Department
The Navy Department feels that the
action taken by Commander Fullam

terests is concerned. The landing of
bluejackets and marines and the
American republics by American troops
before trading vessels had been mo-
Tested in any manner or foreign inter-
ests jeopardized Is regarded here as a
diplomatic move that will prevent any
international complications growing
out of the policy of the United States
not to permit European demonstrations

waters.
Both coasts of the warning Central
American republics are completely COW
cred by American gunboats- In addi-
tion to the Marietta on the Caribbean

most in danger. the Paducah is farther
