WALL Street IS
NOT SURPRISED
Criminal Prosecution Idea Was
Never Seriously Entertained
in Financial Circles.

New York, June S.-The decision of
the federal authorities not to institute
criminal proceedings against r.. IL.
Hartman in connection with his rail-
road operations was the principal SUBJ
ject of discussion on Wall street today.
Mr.. Hartman spent the day at his
country home and his associates would
rot discuss the matter for publication.
Interests friendly to Hartman assert
a belief that the government will aban-
don it's case against the so-called Har-
riman lines.
The idea that Mr.. Hartman would
be criminally prosecuted was never
very seriously entertained in financial
circles. Mr.. Harriman's friends say
that there has been no basis for such
action and that most of the alleged IL
legal acts imputed to him are barred
by the statute of limitations.
The stock markets response to the
news was a substantial rise in the Har-
riman issues with corresponding adj
Vances elsewhere in the list.

San Francisco, June S-The con-

several weeks ago as guests of the is

States transport Sherman.
Asked what appeared to him 70 be the
greatest need for the prosperity of Ha-
wall, Ernest F. AchesOn, congressman
from Pennsylvania, declared without hes
itancy:
The American farmer. What they
need there is development along the lines
followed in our western states, brought
about by the influx of our aggressive,
energetic American farmers. There is
always a shortage of labor there. and it
is of a poor quality Of natives. There Is
a broad opportunity for the vigorous
American. Great tracts are open for
hOmesteading of land that will produce
coffee. tobacco, pineappies, rubber and
other tropical crops. The American feels
no ill effects from the climate, as the
temperature is 10 degrees below that Of
any island situated in the same lOngi-
tude. owing to the prevalence of trade
winds bringing cool breezes down from

County Authorities.

Greenwater, Cal, June S.-Officer J. 4.
Rodgers took his first crowd of prisoners
to Independence, the county seat. Wed
nesday morning. Albert Keyne was an
pretended for insanity. He has a mania
for setting fires and he made the remark
that the Brogleman Mercantile company's
building would make a pretty blaze He
has busted himself building small fires
in the street all over town until taken
into custody under instructions from the
officials at the county seat. The prisoner
was once well-to-do citizen of Los An
geleS, where he has a niece who is
wealthy. 1t appears that owing to litiga-
ton over the estate in the courts he be-
came insane after arriving on the desert
last November. The officer took no
chances and heavily ironed him and fast
ened him so there was no danger of his
escape, for should the team have run
away with the vehicle, Keyne would have
gone the route with it. j. A. McCrimmon
went along with Rogers to help guard the
prisoner on the long journey.
John Walsh, an old time Butte miner
lately of Goldfield, for months has been
making Greenwater his headquarters He
too, was taken to Independence on the
