HARTMAN TO ESCAPE
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-There IS
very good authority for the statement
that no criminal prosecution of +. ii.
Hartman will develop out of the cases
of rebating uncovered at the recent IN
yestigation by the interstate commerce
commission into Southern Pacific af-
fairs at San Francisco.
When the reports of the investigation
were first published, showing that sew
eral cases of rebating had been estap-
lisbed some of which were in inter-
cato business and therefore violations
of the Hepburn law. it was believed
bers that efforts would be made to fas-
ten a case upon Hartman.
II can be stated, however. on the
hest authority. that no evidence was
brought out to show that Hartman
had personal knowledge of what hau
hae,. done by some of his subordlnates

]. w. Cookery, who was a delegate
to the National Undertakers' associa-
ton which met at Norfolk, Va, return
ed home this afternoon after an ex-
tended trip throughout the east.
There is nothing at all serious in
the financial situation in the east a,
nearly as l could find out" said Mr..
Cookery to a Statesman reporter this
afternoon. 81 took especial pains to
talk with men all through the cOun-
try about it and none are of the opin
ion there is anything extremely ser
ious in the situation. | talked with
men in Washington D. c., Indiana
polls, ST. Louis, Denver and at Ogden,
oughly versed in the matter ana un-
derstand the situation and know what
they are talking about. Not one is
pessimistic about the matter and all
are of the opinion it is merely a tenn
Lorary furry caused by wildcat spec
ulatiOn in the east.
1T is the general opinion that peo-
pie in the east have been living be-
yond their means in this time of gem
eral prosperity and have had their
money invested where they could not
get immediate access to it when it
was needed, hence when money was
needed, no one was ready. Banks had
their money invested in wildcat spec
ulations and some of these have prov
en- bad, consequently they have gone
under. There is nothing at all seri
Gus in it and nowhere did | hear ali
expression that there is anything per-
manent or dangerous in conditions.
Everyone has confidence in tn
west. The general prosperity and con-
tlnued success of western institutions
has given tone of solidity to the east
for d minute that this furry in Wall
Street will affect the west in any par
ticular. In Ogden they laughed at the
prospect of the west being affected by
the financial trouble of the east. Their
opinion there is that it is merely a
touch of local financial collie which
will soon pass over.
I'm the east the bankers respect the
western financiers and admit they are
much more conservative than they.
Their securities are good and all have
confidence in the west

BIG REVIVAL
SERVICES OPEN
REV. n. c. HART breaches FIRST
OF SERIES OF EvANGEL-
lSTIC SERVICES.

At the tabernacle on the corner of
Poplar and East streets, the uni ed
Methodist revival services began yes
terday morning with the sermon. by
Evangelist H. c. Hart.
The sermon was one of the most
powerful ever preached in Walla Wal
la and was heard by an immense
crowd. The great tabernacle was well
filled and more than 1000 of the people
of his city were on the inside of the
building to hear the eloquent evangel-
ist open the meetings.
The text was takeL from John 16,
seventh and eighth verses: "Neverthe-
less / tell you the truth; it is expedSent
for you that / go away; for if l go not
away the Comforter will not come un-
to you; but if l depart l will send him
unto you. And when he is come. he
will reprove the world of sin and of
righteousness, and of judgment"
Using this as a basis, Rev. Hart
pleaded for better conditions socially,
morally and religiously, dwelling par
ticularly on the latter The main idea
of his discourse was to tarry until the
spirit of the Holy Ghost is bestowed
and the speaker made use of this i'm
a most effective way.
Rev. Hart is a fine speaker and the
meetings under his leadership will
prove popular. Meetings will be held
tuica daily at n m and 40 n m
All are invited and urged to attend.
