private office at the time, and all

preceded the shooting was earned
from the lips of the broker before he
died.
OlIphant said that his refusal to
extend further credit TO Gelger caused
the tragedy. There IS reason to be-.
lieye, however, that Celger had be-
come mentally irresponsible. A note

cd computations by which the writer
apparently had figured that he would
be worth 100000 by January t.

HARTMAN EXAMINED.
Gives Testimony Concerning Railroad
Transportation, but Refuses to
Answer Some Questions.


4 New York;. H. Hartman, head
Of the Union Pacific system, spent
Monday In recital of portions Of the
intimate history of the financial opera
tions OF himself and his associates be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission. which, in behalf of the gov.
ernment, Is investigating consolida-
tons and combinations of carriers, re-
lations between railroads and commu.
nifty of interest therein, their rates,
facilities and practices.
Special counsel for the government
made particular attack on the reorgan-
ization and financing of the Chicago &
Alton railroad by the Hartman syndi-
cate. and their action, with challenge
by counsel for the railroads of the
right of the Interstate Commerce Com
r1ossion to inquire into the private
transactions of an individual, consti-
tuted the two chief events of the days
proceedings. IT,
Mr.. Hartman declined to tell what
proportion of the preferred stock Of
the Alton sold to the Union Pacific be.
lcnged to him individually, and the
way was paved for taking the question
into the Federal Courts. The poilt
raised involves a material limitation
en- the inquisitorial power of the COM
mission, ana is of serious importance
to the whole question of interstate cor
Loration investigation.

FortifyIns Hawaii.

Honolulu, Hawaii.-After months OF
procrastination the United States mill.
tary authorities have begun the work
of fortifying this island and there is no
doubt here that the Japanese situation
has hastened this action.
Civil engineers have been engaged
for some days in contour work about
Diamond Head, where is to be one of
the principal batteries. Captain
Otwell, in charge Of the work of forti.
tying the island, has fund Of $260,000
Immediately available and about as
much more will be available after the
present session Of Congress.
The idea of locating guns and NOR.
tars in the vicinity of Diamond Head
is to protect the approaches from the
northeastern direction. Diamond Head
lies to the eastward and southwark Of
Honolulu, and is about three miles
from the center of the city. Months
must elapse before the actual work OF
erecting the batteries will be com.
menced. The guns, in fact, are not yet
here

RAILROADS MUST PAY.
Nebraska Counties Win Suits for
Taxes.

Washington. The cases of the
Union Pacific and Burlington railroad
companies against the various county
treasurers of the state of Nebraska,
involving the tax rate upon the prop
erty of the railroads, and calling into
question the administration of the Ne
braska state tax law, were decided ad-
versely to the railroads by the Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day. The decision was announced by
Justice Holmes.
Omaha.-The decision of the Su.
preme Court of Nebraska tax cases
means that the railroads parties to the
cult must pay into the treasures of the
sixty-one counties interested an aggre-
gate of about 100000 of taxes now
due, including penalties. This includes
the taxes for 1904, 1905 and 1906. The
railroads had d-tendered about $4,000, 900
has what they considered the proper
amount Of their taxes, so that the
amount really involved was about
100000. However, the other roads
operating in Nebraska have paid their
taxes under protest, and had these
cases gone against the state would
have demanded refund Of about onel
inird of the amounts paid.

BAD WRECK BUT NO DEATHS.
Miraculous Escape Of Passengers In
Pennsylvania.

Johnstown, Pa.-When the Pennsyl-
vaEia special, the famous eighteen-hour
New York-Chicago train of the Penn
syly ania railroad, was wrecked at
Mineral Point, seven miles east of
here. at midnight Friday, none of the
passengers were killed, and but one
probably fatally injured. The train
crew also escaped serious injury. Prac-
tically all Of the fifty-four passengers
upon the train were more or less hurt.
The escape of the occupants of the
train from death seemed little less
than miraculous. The train was rum
ming at the speed of more than fifty
miles an hour when the last three cars
OF the train, Pullman sleepers, sud
denly left he rail- They turned over
twice and then slid down the sixty-foot
embankment into the Conemaugh
river. The cars went through the heavy
ice, but there was SO little water in the
river that there was no danger Of
drowning.
The wreck, 1t is thought, was caused
by the dropping of the brake rigging
upon the first sleeper following the iol
comotive and combination car. The
rigging lodged under tie, derailing
this following cars. The locomotive
and combination car remained upon
the track.
Relief trains were at once dis
patched from Johnstown, Altoona and
Pittsburg. Eight injured ones were
taken to the Altoona hospital and four
were sent to Pittsburg. The other pas
sengers with insufficient clothing, shiv-
ering, many with nothing to cover
them but blankets and bed clothing,
were also sent to Pittsburg. The rail-
road company supplied them with food.
medicine and clothing and sent them
on west on a special train.

The Governor Calls Attention to the
Fact That Seven Weeks Of the ses-
sion are Gone and Nothing Done.
Denver.-Governor Buchtel has writ
ten the following letter TO the Repub-
lican members of the Legislature:
ITO the Republican Members of the
House and Senate:
'Gentlemen-The pledges we made
TO the people on our state platform
were explicit and definite. On this
platform I worked like a dray horse,
from the goth of September to the 9Th
Of November. said to all the people
in every part Of the state that this Ian
guage was to be understood as the
sincere pledge of honest men who de
sired to do something for the public
good. i said to the people on the au-
thcrity Of this platform: II you will
elect this Republican ticket from top to
lotion. we will make such a record of
constructive legislation as has never
before been known in Colorado The
people believed me. They did elect
Our ticket. It Is now our business to
keep faith with the people.
About seven weeks OF the session
OF the Legislature have now passed.
approximately FIVE weeks of the ses.
sion remain. Down to this day we have
not made good on one Of these pledges
l appeal to you in the name OF the peo-
rie to put through this program in
every detail. We must make good, or
the people will wipe the Republican
party on the map at the next election.
II we keep all our pledges both in let
1Pr and In Cnfr{f W. ms
pect that the people will be glad to
continue thee Republican party in
power.
I'VE ought to have frequent meet
ings to agree on the details of our pro-
gram. It is your business to make the
laws, l hope 1t may please you to
confer with me about the main fea-
lures Of laws which you agree upon in
caucus, for two reasons: First, because
| went everywhere making promises to
the people in working for the whole
ticket. Second, because the laws you
enact must be approved by me. 1t is
therefore fair and reasonable to expect
tina. we shall all be eager to get to-
gether and stick together for the honor
of the Republican party and for our
cwn honor as men Of integrity.
With the utmost courtesy, am,
Yours for the good of all Colorado.
