TAKE WARNING MR.. HARTMAN
Locomotive F'iremen and Engineers
Want Grievances Adjusted.

Peoria, Ill, Jan. 2.-Grand Master John
J. Hannahan of the Brotherhood of Loco

issued a second ultimatum to E. H. Har-
riman of the Southern Pariflc railroad
warning him of the impending drastic
measures that will be placed into effect
unless he exercises his powers to termi-
nate, the grievance now prevailing. The
Peoria, Jan. lie. H. Hartman. Presi-
dent and Chairman, Southern Pacific,
New York: !.
THE dispute on the Atlantic system of
the Southern Pacific company notwith-
standing statement to the contrary, is be-
tween your company and our members.
On other of your lines the feeling is grow
ing that they may expect the same in
justice in the near future. If your repre-
sentatives really desire arbitration. we
are anxious to adjust in the way and we
insist that third party should not be
permitted to influence your company in
this matter. .-a
"Once more, in justice to the men and
the public. who will be affected by an ex-
tension of a strike to other parts OF your
system, ask you to exercise your 'au-
thority and restore the conditions which
the abrogaton of the agreement took
away from the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen on May l. Your officials
entered willingly into agreement with

Hartman has plenty of money with
which to buy up the mileage of the
United States, and has had capital SUI
ficient to make him the railroad en-
peror of the nation Yet, for years ne
has pleaded to those westernets that he
simply could not get cars, from the
shops of the east; that the orders were
alrger than the shops capacities.
Some western men declare that Mr.
Hartman might build his own shops
He may do as he pleaseS, after Janu-
airy, in one state; but he must supply
cars.
Those western business men thought
that a man who commanded the billions
controlled now by Mr.. Hartman GER
tainly might secure an interest in ex-
listing car plants somewhere, so that he
could get cars built. However that may
be, after January in oregon he must
either have cars enough or pay $40
day demurrage. When 1T Is considered
that Oregon alone needs right now
more than 1000 cars, which she can not
get, il will be seen that that recipfo-
cal demurrage bill means that Mr. Har-
riman might have to pay $4,000 a day
penalty for failure to meet the needs or
the shippers. Potentially, then, the
people of Oregon purpose to construct
a financial club worth 100000 year
with which to batter the Wizard of
Wall street." But, of course, before
1907 shall have passed, Mr.. Hartman
will have found cars somewhere; else
he will have receuped in part the losses
suffered by Oregon shippers through his
failure to perform his duty as COM
mon carrier.

THE WAY THEY Do IN BAKER.
Celebration of New Years Like that
of Pilgrim DAYS.

Baldwin, Kan. Jan. 2.-The young folk
in Baldwin celebrated the advent of the
new year in a rather unique way. An
old year never recorded more tender min
istry than did 1906 at the hands of these
youthful Voyagers. During the early
hours of the night, groups in all parts of
the city were formed where, around
pleasant gas fires, stories were told,
poems were recited. essays were read and
songs were sung. Nor was ever a new
year greeted with better cheer and hearty
hand shakes than 1t was here. When the
eyes OF the old year were closed in its
smoothed to rest for the last time, and a
benediction of loving regret was said, the
mourners suddenly changed themselves
to jubilee singers and the quiet hollows
of The sleeping village resounded with
echoes of joyous shouts and songs. The
old chapel bell was called upon Ito testify
and it's peals went about over the. hills
and along the streams till they met the
wells to the old. Weeome O1; farewell 'OS.

the champion. Cans appeared care

Chicagoan at the end or the round.
The sixth and seventh rounds were
all Cans. In the eighth Cans started
out by feinting and drawing Herman's
FIRE. They fiddIed around the ring un-

kid swung wildly with his left. He
left an opening. Like a flash Cans
whipped left and then swinging right

the wreck of an Oregon Short Line
train at Peterson. Utah, which caused

men, has confessed, that he alone
caused the wreck.
The youth, who is a son of the sta

was prompted to the deed by a desire
to see the long freight train plunge
into the river below. Five farmers
who were arrested yesterday have
been released though they admitted
they had recently tempered with the
block signals at Peterson and stopped
freight trains that they might steal
coal from fiat cars. Some Of these
farmers probably will be rearrested.
