4 committee from the Fourth
ward waited on the school board
last night for the purpose of calling
the attention of the board to the
necessity for more school room in

a block of ground be purchased
west of Maple st. on the Northwest
boulevard for school purposes, and
that a portable school be erected
there for the present, or until such
time as the board could secure
funds to build school building on
the location secured.
The committee was informed that
there is no money now available to
build school houses. but was asked
to get estimates on the cost of the
site and submit them to the board.

BRIDGE MODELS USED
IN BIG DAMAGE SUIT

Judge Huneke's court today con-
tinued trial of the $4,000 damage
suit brought against Porter Bros.
by w. M. Mckim. The plaintiff
this morning did not know just
what threw him from the bridge,
but the testimony of different wit
nesses for the plaintiff was that the
accident was caused by spike
which had been driven into a loose
timber lying across the stringers
of the bridge. causing it to roll over
when plaintiff stepped upon it.
The Olive av. bridge was in con-
struction at the time of the accident
and is reproduced in miniature as
an exhibit in the court room. The
trial proceeds with but II jurors in
the box, w. |. Davenport having
been excused after having been
sworn upon consent of both plain
tiff and defendants. He received a
telegram calling him to the bedside
of his dying father.

In going over the evidence Del.
mas told of reasons Thaw had to
fear that White was seeking him
with a revolver when the latter
learned that Thaw had removed the
girl from his clutches, and this was
added TO the spectre Of fear on the
girls behalf that had haunted him
so long. He also argued that Ewes
lyn persisted in her refusal to marry
Thaw until his mother came to her
with a plea on behalf of her SON.
whose anxiety was more than he
or she could bear.
He pointed out that Thaw could
not forget the wrong done the girl,
and when he saw White still seek
ing to resume his power over her
he conceived he had mission to
perform. He was determined TO
save her.
The argument concluded in a
burst of eloquent appeal for the 2
blighted lives which was consigned
to the jury's keeping in dealing
with Thaw.
Yesterday afteS1oon Delmas de-
voted much of his address to caustic
criticism of Evelyn's mother and
White. holding them jointly re-
sponsible for the girls downfall.

Special Correspondence to Tho Press

Special Correspondence to Tho Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., April O.
The war between President Roose-
welt and e. H. Hartman is some
thing more than a personal feud-
though it partakes of that character
also. Roosevelt sees in Hartman
the personification Of all that is
most vicious in what he calls cap
italistic anarchy"
In all the so-called Wall st. oppo-
sition to the administration s poll
cies of corporation and railway con-
troll, e. II. Hartman is looked upon
by the Roosevelt people as having
been the leading spirit. They say
he led the 2 year fight against the
rate law; that he financed the lobby
that worked in Washington.
He is the largest individual con-
troll in American railroading today.
and is denounced as the most fla
grant violator of all laws which are
aimed to make the roads deal fairly
by all.
The administration forces are
now calling attention to the fact
that Hartman not only defies the
laws which are on the statute books
but he defies the peopel to get good
laws from the men they send to
congress to represent them
For II years Judge l.. A. Payson,
former congressman from Illinois,
has been the lobbyist in Washing
ton for the Hartman interests, and
for all those years has succeeded in
influencing congress to conform to
Harrimans views, as he last winter
prevented the passage of the cent
fare bin and all but one of the other
railway bills before the interstate
commerce committee.
Theo. Roosevelt has been opposed
by Hartman in all his political ad-
vance. 1t was Hartman who start
ed the anti-Roosevelt propaganda in
1923, passing the word along
through his railway systems that
Roosevelt was too dangerous, too
radical and not quite sane. Defeat
ed in his attempt to head off Roose-
velt's denomination, Hartman gave
aid and comfort to the Parker move
ment.
The president can only guess
what purpose Hartman had in
mind when he paid his recent visit
to Washington and brought his lit
tie boy to see The president. There
was very brief interview, at which
witnesses were present.
Hartman then sent his attorney
to ask another interview. Mr.. Loeb
told him to come any time. But Mr..
Hartman did not come.
1t is believed the result Of the
FIRST brief interview-at which the
