made that at the request of President

in carrying New York for the Repub-
lican party at the election held in

ate and willful untruth-by right it
should be characterized by an even
shorter and more ugly word. I never

dollar for the presidential campaign Of

s.. Result of Old Age.
Glenwood, Pa, April 1.-Former
Congressman Galusha A. Grow Is dead
rs the result of general breakdown
attributed to old age He was eighty
four years old.
Mr.. Grow was elected to congress

that body and after retirement from
public life for nearly forty years he
re-entered the house of representa-
tives as congressman-at-larg from

A meeting will be held at the ma

Wednesday night at 1880 Of the local
people who bought lots on Alewa
Heights at the auction sale on Nom
day. The object will be to form
club which will look after the inter
ests in that section and will bring
about the building of roads as soon al
possible. There has been s240o paid
in already on the lots that were pur-
chased. OF this sum, 1880 must be
paid over to obtain the rights of way
for the road through the Ballou and
Andrews property. This will leave
only $500 available for building roads
at present.
1t is proposed to ask those who are
able, to pay the second fnstalIrnent
of twenty per cent. Immediately. This
will amount to s240e which win he
more than enough to build the road
from Wyllie street up to the top Of the

New York. June s.--The decision or the federal authorities not to tnsti- tute criminal proceedings against P. Fl. Hartman in connection with his rail- road operations was the principal sub- ject on Wall street today.
 Mir Harriman Is spending the day, at his country home and his associates, while showing their satisfaction at the news from Washington did not care to discuss the matter for publicasicn Interests friendly to Mr. Harrtmsa ace in the latest turn of affssrs Q etapoS sitfon Oh the part of the government to abandon it's case against the so- called Hartman iinef and Wall stFeet professcs to believe that the ehtire matter will soon cease to be q rock market factor. 'ss
 The idea that Mir. Hartman would be criminally prosecuted was never very seriously entertained in financial circles. In the first place. Mir. Harri- mans. friends say that there has not been any basis for such action It is also pointed, out that most of the alleged illegal acts imputed to. MT. Hartman and his associates are barred by the statute of limitations
 The stock markets response to the news was a substantial rise in the Hartman issue, with corresponding advances elsewhere in the list.
