SUES HARTMAN
FOR S500,000
Charges Breach of Contract i'm an
Oregon Railway
Transaction

NEW YORK, June PA suit
was started today in the United
States circuit court by Henry NJ.
Walker, resident of New Jersey,
against Edward III. Hartman and
other defendants, alleging breach of
contract and conspiracy to prevent
the construction of the Portland, Ne
halem and Tillamoock railway in
Oregon In his complaint Mr.. Walk
er places his monetary damages at
100000. Two cooperative defend
ants and twenty-nine other individ-
uals have not been served, and for
this reason their names have been
withheld by the court.
Mr.. Walker says he was employed
in 1905 by the officials of the Port
land, Nehalem & Tillamook railway
to float its bonds in London and
make arrangements with a Califor-
MIA corporation, also named as one
of the defendants, to advance $780,
900 to be used in constructing the
railway, the security to be bonds of
the railway company.
An issue of $3,OO0,OOO of bonds
was to be disposed of by him, for
which he was to receive a commits
sion of Is per cent, 2,400 shares of
stock and $4,000 in cash. The
issue of bonds was to be delivered
to him in London, where he says he
entered into an agreement with the
London Share and Debenture Com
pany, which was to advance the sum
of $2,40O,000 on the bonds.
Mr.. Walker claims the bonds were
not delivered to him, and on his re-
turn to the United States he found
that the president of the corporation
and it's board of directors had re-
fused to sign the bonds. Mr..
Walker also asserts he found that
by trick and device" the charter
and property of the railway had been
transferred to Edward E. Lyttle, an
agent of E. H. Hartman, and all of
the capital stock of the road had
been rendered practically worthless
through the influence of Mr.. Harri-
man. He claims also that Mr.. Har-
riman and his associates brought
about the insolvency of the Califor-
MIA company, which had contracted
to loan the money to the railway for
construction purposes.
The complaint of Mr.. Walker says
that Hartman and his associates are
bitterly opposed to the construction
of this railway or any other in that
vicinity, fearing it would interfere
with their ownership and monopoly
in that part of the state. He asks
that a receiver be appointed for the
property; that officers of the COM
pany be ordered to sign and issue
the bonds, account to him for 1000
shares of stock they have wrongfully
withheld, and to pay $4,000 legally
due to him. He further asks the
cancellation of all transfers made by
Hartman or the latter's agents, and
that the road be restored its fran
chise by the state of Oregon.

CRUSHED BY AUTO CAR
MARRIOTT, WHILE GOING FOR
RECORD, MET WITH ACCIDENT.
WAS CUT ABOUT HEAD AND FACE,
The Machine Was Ruined and injuries
to Driver Most Painful, But Not
Necessarily Fatal.

Hotel OrmOnd, Fla, Jan. 26.-Fred
Marriott, of Newton, Mass, came with
in an ace of being instantly killed and
the steamer Bug" recognized as the
fastest thing on wheels, was totally
destroyed on the Ormond-Daytona
course.
It was the closing event Of what ur
to that time had proved rather a sen.
sationless meeting. The experience was
such as few of the thousands of specta
tors who witnessed the same would
care to have repeated. 1t was happen
ing which sent a thrill of horror run
ming from one end of the course to the
other. The wonder of it all is that
Marriott was not instantly killed.
Marriott and the Bug" had just
started on what was his third, and
what proved to be his last, attempt to
lower his onemile record. He had
gone three miles down the beach from
the starting point in order 10 get n
good start. AS he came acros the mark
he was going like veritable whirl-
wind. To all appearances he was going
we'll and fast enough to get within the
record.
The front Of the hood was seen to
rise up slightly, and as the frail craft
took slight bump the torpedo-shaped
car jumped high in the air. the hood
opened up like the mouth of an ALI.
gator. Hardly a second was the car in
the air, and yet it jumped along for
20 yards. That was long enough for
the wind to take and blow the craft
sideways, making it unmanageable.
When she stPuck the ground the car
rolled over several times and then
broke apart, the boiler going into the
water for some hundred feet, the en-
gine going inland and the whels pin
ioning Marriott to the ground.
Marriott was picked up and carried
into the clubhouse. Here medical at
tention was plentiful Marriott was
conscious throughout, the first thing
he asked being "How is the carr" He
seemed to have no fear or anxiety for
himself.
Nevertheless, he, like the thousands
here, were decidedly relieved to hear
that no bones were broken. He was
severely cut about the head and face,
some four or five inches of the scalp
being torn from his head. He COM
planned about his back troubling him.
Unless internal troubles develope Mar
riott will unquestionably pull out Of
his troubles, although the doctors will
not give any decided opinion for the
next 36 hours.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
ITS PASSAGE URGED BY PREsI.
DENT ROOSEVELT.
STATE AID FOR STEAMSHIP LINES
10 AZ Much a Part Of Commercial Sys.
tenn as state Employment Of Con-
suls to Promote Business.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The presI.
dent Wednesday sent message to con-
gress calling attention to the great de-
STABILITY of enactment OF legislation
to help American shipping and Ameri-
can trade by encouraging the building
and running Of large and swift steam
ers to South America and the Orient.
The urgent need Of the country max
ing an effort to do something like its
share of its own carrying trade on the
ocean has been called to his attention,
the president says, in striking fash
ion by the experiences of Secretary
Root on his recent South American
tour.
State aid to steamship lines, the
president says, is as much part Of
the commercial system OF to-day as
state employment of consuls to pro-
mote business. ..:>
The president says that the pro-
posed law which had been discussed
In congress is in no sense experiment
tai 1t Is based on the best and most
successful precedents, as for instance
on the recent Cunard contract with
the British government.
The President discusses the bill now
before the committee and says:
at would be discreditable for us to
surrender to our commercial rivals the
great commerce of the Orient, the great
commerce we should have with South
America and even our communication
with Hawaii and the Philippines"
The text of the message is as follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives:
II call your attention to the great
decirability Of enacting legislation to
help American shipping and American
trade by encouraging the building and
furnishing of lines of large and swift
steamers to South America and the
Orient.
"The urgent need of our country
making an effort to do something like
its share of its own carrying trade on
the ocean has been called to our atten-
ton in striking fashion by the expert
ences of Secretary Root in his recent
South American tour"
The president, therefore urges the
passage of the ship subsidy bill.

Ern.rt Ocean Mail sortsrs.

One of the most interesting perform
ances of modern times is the handling
of the mails in great ocean steam
ships. Some of the men become SO
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically, many OF them be-
ing able to put their finger on any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
100000 letters and some 10000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting The
oficials do not always manage to fin
ish the work by the time they reach
port, and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post Office and complete the job there.

COUPLE NET DEATH ORATRESTLE
TOOK A FAREWELL KISS AS THE
TRAIN APPROACHED.
Body Sf Man Hurled Into streami
Woman's Remains Found On
Trestle Projections.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-With a fare
we'll kiss and a last fond embrace an
unknown couple awaited certain death
on q traction trestle between Camden
and Gloucester City The calmnesS
with which they stood in front OF an
oncoming and swiftly moving train
wolNd seem conclusively to prove that
suicide pact existed between them.
The woman was young, pretty, richly
gowned and wore much jewelry and
diamonds The man, also young, was
we'll dressed and evidently refined.
There was nothing which would lead
10 their Identification.
It was the train from Atlantic City,
in charge of MotOrman John Bruden,
Of A Pennsylvania street, and COnduc-
tor James Curtis, of Sic Steven street,
Camden, that struck the man and
woman. The train was somewhat late,
and 1t was going at fairly good rate
of speed when the bridge over Newton
creek was reached. Motorman Bur
den's first intimation of the presence
of the man and woman was when the
headlight of his car revealed them
standing in the middle Of the bridge.
At first they faced the train, but
while the Mortified motorman looked
they turned, clasped one another firm
ly, kissed and then awaited for the ter
rible impact, which followed a moment
later.
AS soon as the train could be
stopped the mOtorman and conductor
ran back. The body of the man had
been hurled into the stream and was
not recovered. The woman's remains
were found lying on the projections Of
the trestle work, and were taken to the
Camden morgue to await Identification.
Coroner Fithian made brief examina-
tion and found that her skull had been
fractured, but there were no other
marks on her body.
She was apparently about 25 years
of age, five feet tall and weighed about
125 pounds. She was attired in a red
plaid suit, wore a fur boa and a black
velvet hat, with long ostrich feather.
On her left hand was plain gold we'd

dant from chain, was a gold watch,

and the works 6,446,225. She was evil

, A REMARKABLE CASE.
Swallowed His Own BSains Was Yer
dict Of coroner's Jury.

Decatur, Ill.,, Jan. 2S.-Death from
swallowing his own brains was the
verdict of the coroner's jury at the in
quest held over the body of George
e. Thomas, the Illinois Central brake
man who was injured by falling into
the machinery at the pumping station
near Hama. Thomas died. The case
was the most peculiar known to sur
geons.
In the accident the sphenoid bone
at the base OF the skull was broken
and the skull fractured in such a. way
that the mans BARNS were permitted
to ooze down into his mouth. Thomas
would become unconscious until he
swallowed, after which he regained
consciousness quickly and would con-
verse with ease.
After repeating this process for sew
eral hours Thomas brains all oozed
out.

SENATOR RUSSELL A. ALGER DEAD
STRICKEN WITH FATAL ATTACK
OF oEDEMA OF THE LUNGS.
cnoaress Adjourned Out of Respect to
His Memory.-FuneraI Will
Be Held Saturday.

Washington, Jan. 25.-United States
Senator Russell A. Alger, of Michigan,
died suddenly at his residence in this
city following an acute attack Of oedema
of the lungs, with which he waa
stricken. Although Senator Alger had
not been in good health for some time
his death was most unexpected. The
senator was apparently in his usual
health. During the day he transacted
considerable business and was at the
war department up to q late hour in
the afternoon.
At the bedside when he passed away
were Mrs. Alger and their son, Captain
F. M .Alger, and wife. On Tuesday
night Senator Alger, when about to
leave the house to attend dinner
given in honor of William Alden Smith
by the Michigan delegation, suffered an
attack Of heart failure, but it was only
with difficulty that he was persuaded
by his doctor to remain at home.
Senator Aiger attended the session of
the senate Tuesday afternoon and re.
mained in the chamber until about 1
o'clock listening to the debate on the
Brownsville affair. He then retired to
the cloakroom with Col. Ransdell, SER
geant-at-arms of the senate, and Sena-
tor Warner, of Missouri, where they
remained for some time relating stories
Of the civil war.
The news of the death was at once
communicated to President Roosevelt
and Vice President Fairbanks, the lat
ter being the first to call at the Alger
residence to express his sympathy. He
was shortly followed by Senator-elect
William Alden Smith and by Mr.. Tru-
man Newberry, assistant secretary Of
the navy and his lifelong friend.
When the president was informed of
Senator Alger's death he addressed
note Of coincidence to Mrs. Alger and
accompanied it with floral offering.
The funeral services will be held at
2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the
family residence in this city. The body
will be taken to Detroit, Mich, for
burial.
Senator Alger is survived by his
widow and five children.
AS mark of respect to his memory
it is ordered that the flags af all mil
itary posts be displayed at half mast
on the day of the funeral.
The house of representatives ad.
journed out of respect to the memory
Of the late senator.
