Judge sWartz. making use Of the most
eondemnatory words possible. made il
clear. when he began 70 render his de-
cision. that he utterly discredited The
shocking accusation made against Mrs.
Carver by the husband regarding her
alleged conduct with the negro jenkins.
He demonstrated 10 AIr. Carver and TO
all the auditors that he was entirely sat-

This man Hartman is suddenly
recognized as one of the wonders of
his generation. He is not yet sixty
years old. Three months ago the
country was startled at discovering
that he had placed himself in con
troll of $4,000 miles OF the most i'm
portant railways on the continent.
Yesterday it was startled anew at
the revelation that in six months
past he has been buying himself in
TO control of as many more miles of
road. Apparently he has got well
on the way TO domination of his
second block of $4,000 miles.
His resources seem unlimited, his
ambition unbounded. Left TO his
own devices, there is apparently no
reason why he should not actually
make himself the car of the whole
railroad system of the country. And
that means thirteen billions of dol
lars worth of property-one-eighth
of the value OF the United States.
Can Be The Dictator.
1t is not necessary for one man to
own all this mileage of road in order
TO control it. Any railroad or finan-
cial expert viii say that in the
hands of the right man, far less
than One-half the railroad mileage
could be made absolutely to rule all
the rest; 10 dictate its policies, reg
ulate its earnings, determine its div
idends; to determine where cities
should be built up, and where cities
built should wither and de-
cay; to dictate what sections should
prosper and what should be op-
pressed; TO say that this section
should pay tribute, and that that
should receive it.
Hartman has known, from the
day when he outlined his ambitious
project of becoming the uncrowned
railroad king of a continent, that
if he got the right roads first he
could force his control of the others.
Is Not a Railroader.
He has been a railroad man for al
most a generation. but always looking

victims TO his soft and sweet voice and
his convincing and charming manners.
He heeeed them out OF thousands Of
dollars and left them with many bot
ties OF highly-colored water for which
they paid great prices. The most inter-
esting and bold and audacious scheme
he perpetrated on the gunible public
was in an Ohio town, probably Youngs-
town.
Once a Preacher.
DR.. Flowers was educated for a
CampbelliJe preacher. and had charge
Of church with a large congregation
in the Ohio town. He was a very bril-
liant talker and highly thought Of. He
drifted from the plain gospel and took
up the faith cure theory.
He opened up z faith cure sanitarium
"a most wonderful institution. on the
roof Of the building he had what ne
called a sun psrlor. II was inclosed
both on the sides and on top by glass.
Rich women were his victims The
treatment consisted of the patients
taking OF all Of their clothes and walk
ing around Ia the parlor under the rays
OF the sun.
Treats the Nude.
The doctor declared himself TO be
possessed Of a divine power that made
HIM physically blind in the presence
OF his nude female patients. By the
touches from his divine" hand the
women were declared cured.
Angry husbands learned of this
hOcus-pocus racket. and as a result
DR. Flower had TO search for new
heids 10 work his game.
Patients Made It Warm.
He made several visits 10 Danviue
and reaped "a rich harvest. Fashion

farmers. and all classes OF people fi0cked
10 his quarters at the leading hotels
and paid him big sums for his treat
ment. His visits. however, became
shorter and shorter. and the last time
he was here ne stayed less than two
days

former patients made it so warm for
him that he had 10 vacate. The next
heard of him was when he was arrested

nent and influential farmer OF Pittsyl-
vInia county 10 believe that he had
leprosy. The doctor" demanded $500
cash down for the cure and the farmer
mOrtgaged his farm 10 raise the money.
Women, who were religiously inclined,
were easily gulled by the doctor, who
could talk the gospel day and night.
