What Has Become of John w. Roth
Still Unheard From

The continued absence of John w
Roth and the failure to locate him OF
to obtain clue which would lead tC
the discovery of his whereabouts il
alive, is one of the mysteries which
should be solved by the police.
Failing to hear from her husband, or
to locate him, Mrs. John w. Roth
whose home was at Io44 Wyandotte
street, has sold her household effects and
left yesterday for her old home in
Akron, Ohio.
Before parting with her friends in
Shreveport, Mrs. Roth, almost over
whelmed in despondency, declared that
She never expected to see her husband
and believed he had been enticed away

bank and was probably dead

THE FAMOUS MR.. HARTMAN.

THE FAMOUS MR.. HARTMAN
The Hartman letter controversy re-
called the fact that made the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. Hartman during the clos
ing days of Congress, and | must con-
fess that | was greatly impressed with
the strong personality of this small sized
man, who has proved such gigantic
power in the railroad world
He entered the Marble Room with his
son, bright lad of about fourteen, and
the two were evidently enjoying their
talk together perfectly oblivious of all
surroundings. 1t is plain that he shuns
society and loves best the associations
of his own hearthstone One can not
meet man of such tremendous ability,
with his young son by his side, without
realizing that, after all, the real man is
expressed in his paternal affection.
1t does not require an acute observer
to see that Mr.. Hartman is an agrees
i've and forceful personality When he
grasps a mans hand, and looks him
square in the eye the brown eye behind
the glasses indicate keen mental vis-
ion. There is a certain sternness when
business subjects come up. Mr. Harri-,
man gave cordial greeting to several
senators whom he met in the Marble
Room. and then the change of express
ion was at once apparent; but there was
an air of fearlessness and candor about
him, whether talking with senators or
with the lad by his side.
After all is said and done, there is
something about this much-talked of
man that gives one the impression that
it may not have been pure sel6shness
and greed of money that impelled his
great achievements in the reorganization
of the railroad systems with. which he
has become prominent.-Joe Mitchell
