HARTMAN MAY RUN
HIS TRAINS FASTER
Bridge Tests Believed TO FOrcshadOw
Resumption of Speed War
Across Continent.

Chicago. Sept 4.-Elaborate bridge
tests now being made by the Illinois
Central In Iowa have given rise to
persistent and apparently well-found-
ed rumors that II H. Hartman Is
planning to put into operation In the
near future the fastest transcontinen-
tai service ever known. The immedi-
ate purpose OF the tests Is TO deter
mine at what rate of speed heavy
trains can be run across the Iowa
bridges. The fact that a number Of
electrical experts from Cornell univer-
sltS and the University OF Wisconsin
are assisting the regular testing crews
and making exhaustive tabulations Of
tho number of vibrations caused by
the passage OF the trains driven az
varying speed. gives color to the ru-
NOR. The structures tested so far are
said to be in condition to aocOmmo-
date high-speed trains without peril,
but It is probable that a number Of
others will require reinforcement.
Considering the thoroughness OF the
tests. some time, It Is expected. viii
elapse before definite announcement
is 10 be made By the officials Of the
Hartman lines.

WIDOW IS HELD
FOR MURDER
Of HUSBAND
SENSATION SPRUNG IN
CLEVELAND SOCIETY
Story That John R, Phillips,
a Wealthy Coal Dealer, Was
Killed by a Burglar Don't Go
With the Police,

\. Cleveland, O., Sept. 4.-Develop-
ments in the investigation into the
cause of the death of John r. Phil
lips, the coal operator, banker, broker
and club man, came thick and fast to-
day and took a sensational turn late
this afternoon, when Mrs. Phillips,
widow of the deceased, was taken into
custody by Chief of Police Stamburger
at the aristocratic suburb of East
Cleveland.
Mrs. Phillips has been in a highly
nervous state since the tragedy early
Monday morning, after which the an
lnouncement was made that her hus-
band had been shot and mortdlly
wounded by a burglar. This afternoon
she collapsed and was unable to at
| tend the funeral, which took place
from the family home, with only the
| immediate relatives present
Shortly after the funeral had been
| held, Chief of Police Shamburger an
nounced that, after a conference with
| Deputy Coroner Houck, who had con-
Quoted the inquest, and Deputy Prose-
cutor Mooney and others, he had taken
the widow into custody. The chief
stated that four deputies would guard
| the woman in her home until she had
4
fore a justice of the peace for a pre-
! iliminary hearing.
The police are very reticent concern
ing the case and refuse to say whether
they believe Mrs. Phillips is guilty of
the murder of her husband, or
whether they merely believe that she
can give some facts which will throw
| light nthe mystery surrounding the
| tragedy
The inquest into the death of Phil
| lips was held this morning by Deputy
Coroner Houck. DR.. o. l.. Richard
son was the first witness to testify at
the hearing. The physician testified
| that he had not been summoned to at
tend the wounded man until a. m,
more than three hours after the shoot
I IN goecufed. He was called up by
telephone and Mrs. Phillips admitted
him to the house. "Oh, doctor! Some
thing dreadful has happened. Mr.
Phillips has been shot by burglar,
was the woman's greeting 70 him, the
physician testified. DR.. Richardson
found the wounded man in bed. He
called in Dr. Rhoades. After DR..
Rhoades had arrived at the bedside of
the wounded man, Phillips asked both
I the doctors to retire to another room
LAS he wished to converse with his wife,
The husband and wife We're alone fol
perhaps two minutes. Dr. Richardson
testified that there was considerable
blood on the stairway of the Phillips
residence and the bed in which Phil
lips was. was bloOdstained When the
physicians reached Phillips they real
lied that he could live but a short
time. The wounded man was informed
of his condition and appeared recon-
ciled. He declared he wished as lit
Tie notoriety as possible In connection
with the affair.
| While the funeral was in prOgre IS
today in the Phillips home the police
ransacked the place IN search for the
revolver and other evidence In con-
nection with the crime. As far as can
be learned, no revolver was discovered

Moors' assault without yielding one
foot from the position they occupied.
General Drude quickly employed his
forces to the greatest advantage, and
