Cincinnati, O., Feb. 25.-The suit
brought by the Massilon Coal Mining
company to test the validity of the
recent order of the Ohio railroad com.
mission regarding the equal distribu.
ton of all freight cars, whether the
property of railroads or not, came up
for hearing in the United States

Fight for British Title.

New York, Feb. Pa dispatch
from London says that much interest
is manifested in English sporting cir.
cles in tonight's fight between Gunner
Moir and Tiger Smith for the heavy
weight championship OF England. The
contest is to be twenty rounds, be-
fore the National Sporting club of
London, and is for a purse OF $3.50
and a side bet of $25OO. Moir, who
holds the championship title, is nat
urally the favorite. Smith, who comes
from Wales, is of the light heavy
weight order, and while he has clean
ed up with all others, has never
shown real championship form, ac-
cording to good judges. His most no
table victory was over Seaman Kelly,
one of the best heavyweights in the
service at the National Sporting club
last November.

HARTMAN INQUIRY }
WAS RESUMED TODAY
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION STARTS WORK ON
HARRlMAN'S BIRTHDAY.
sneciaI to the Herald.

| Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb. 25.-Did the inter.
state commerce commission mean to
hand Edward Henry Hartman a
lemon when It fixed upon today as the
date for resuming its investigation
into the financial operations OF the
Hartman railroad interests? But
perhaps the commission did not know
that today was Mr.. Harriman's birth
day.
It was just fifty-nine years ago. on
February 25. 1913. that the man who
now controls $4,000 miles of railroad
with a total capitalization of over
81, 700 .OOO.O 900. first saw the light of
day in the rectory of little church at
Hampstead. L. l., where his father was
an Episcopalian minister.
Young Hartman entered Wall street
as a clerk in the SOS. In 1870, when
30 years of age, he was able to buy a
seat on the New York Stock Exchange.
IN 1883 he came actively into the rail-
road field. In 1887 he became vice
president of the Illinois Central rail.
road. The year 1907 finds him in con.
troll not only Of the Illinois Central.
but the Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific, Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago G.
Alton, and Kansas City Southern.
And now the interstate commerce
commission purposes to find out how
he did Il. It has already conducted
hearings in Chicago and on the Pacific
coast relative TO the traffic and oper-
ating departments of the Hartman
roads Today the hearing was resum-
ed in this city with especial refer
ence to the financial methods of the
Hartman corporations.
That the greatest importance is at
tached to the present stage of the in
vestigatiOn is evidenced by the fact
that Chairman Knapp has brought all
the members of the commission to
New York to take part in the inquiry.
Heretofore II has been deemed suffi- |
cient for only one or two of the COM
mission TO conduct hearing.
1t is expected that the commission |
will sit continuously here until the in
vestigation is over. The examination |
of Mr.. Hartman is to be the first feat
ure on the program. When his testi-
mony has been obtained that of Jacob
H. schiff. D. Ogden Mills. William
and other big financiers
will be sought /

sought are in Europe, and it is thought
quite likely that they will find it con-
