APPLY BIG STICK
PLAN TO SECOND PRESIDENT
IN FIGHT AGAINST HARTMAN
GOV. DENEEN GETS OPINIONl
Attorney General States that Civil
Remedy Exists against Men Who
Have Wrecked Alton Railroad.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 8.-That Gov
ernor Deneen is planning to second
President Roosevelt in laying the
big stick" across the backs of e. H
Hartman and oLler railroad kings
is evidenced in an opinion handed to
the governor today by Attorney Gen
eral Steady.
The opinion treats of the manipGia
lions of the Chicago & Alton railroad
properties within the last few years
by Hartman and some of his finan
cial associates, including G. j. Gould
James Stillman and Mortimer l.
Schiff. 1t is given In response to
request from Governor Deneen made
after his and the attorney generals
return from conference In Washing
ton in which the attoney general Is
asked to advise what his conclusions
are In the matter and what action.
II any, Is contemplated by the legal
department. of the state
After setting out at some length
the various manipulations to which
the railroad corporations and proper
ties forming the Alton system were
subjected, Attorney General Stead
concludes that there is not the least
doubt that a civil remedy exists
against the financial men who have
wrecked this prosperous railroad
company and at the expense Of limo
cent stockholders and bondholiers
have gathered to themselves har.
vest of millions of dollars"
Mr.. Stead Is doubtful, however.
whether it is within the province OF
the state to enforce the remedy. The
revocation of the company's charter
which, apparently, would be the nat
ural procedure, would bring most Of
the suffering upon innocent stock
holders, Hartman and his Wall
street friends having already unload
ed large part of their holdings, he
holds.
Mr.. Stead inclines to the belief
that the remedy lies with the COM
pany itself, or in the event of its re-
fusal to act, with some one or more
Of its stockholders. This conclusion,
however, is not final, for the attorney
general states that if he should be
satisfied upon further investigation
that an effective remedy can be en-
forced by the state he will not hest
tate to institute proceedings. Nc
opinion is expressed as to whether
the members of the Hartman syndi-
cate are criminally liable under the
statutes of Illinois.
According to the figures set in Mr.
Stead's opinion, Hartman and men
that were with him made a profit of
$24,64S,600 out of their operations IN
the Alton deal.

The Aero club of France attempts
to settle some vexed questions of no
menclature. 1t declares that "aeron
eff" describes flying machine heavier
than air; that is, an apparatus having
no gas bag. "Aeronefs" are divided
into several classes: ''Helicoptera,
machine depending on screws for
flight; '"aeroplanes," machines in
which equilibrium depends on plane
surfaces, and "orthopetra," mechanic
al birds and machines propelled by
the tapping of wings. The expression
aviator" should be applied only to
the pilot of "aeronef," as "aeronaut''
is applied to the pilot of gas bal
loon.

Not only does British law unseat a
man whose election to the house Of
commons has been secured by bribery,
but the house of commons itself dis
franchises a constituency which shows
itself to be unusually corrupt. The
house has lately refused to allow an
election to be held at Worcester to fill
vacancy caused by the unseating of
a member, and the city will not be
represented until the present parlia.

standard in such matters is not quite
