HARTMAN VIOLATED JAW
Suppressed Railroad Competition in an Area Equal to One Third
 of United States.
KELLOGG AND SEVERANCE MAKE REPORT
Attorneys for Interstate Commerce Commission Declare Various Agree ments Entered Into by Different Roads Are In Violation of Sherman Antitrust Act.

New York, May 16.--A portion of the recommendations Of Attorneys Frank E. Kellogg and Charles Sever ance to the Interstate Commerce com mission concerning the Hartman railroad investigation has been pub lished here. It reviews the testimony and holds that railroad competition has been suppressed in an area equal to one-third of the United States; that the contracts between the Union Pacific and Rock Island for the con- trol of the Alton railway. as we'll IS the contract between the Union and Southern Pacific for the con- trol of the Illinois Central and the San Pedro road, are all in violation of the sherman anti- trust act. It recommends that the at torney general institute proceedings to annul these agreements. It also recommends that there should be new and effective laws to prevent infla. ton of securities and declares that the profits of the great railroads of the far West are being used to buy stock and control systems in the East in stead of building more roads for the development of the West as they should be.

Affected Stock Market.

New York, May l6.-Union Pacific was the storm center of an attack by traders on the stock exchange Tuesday on the appearance of the report of counsel for the Interstate Commerce commission. Union Pacific stock slumped nearly four points before sup- port was forthcoming and the whole list became weak and unsettled on the news and declined point on the average. Southern Pacific fell off a point but steadied with good buying. All railroads holding stock control of other lines were adversely affected Dy the news principally Pennsylvania, which became weak. After the first shock had passed the market became
 teady at the decline.

Washington, May 16.-The recom- mendations of Messrs. Kellogg and Severance in regard to the Hartman railroads are not yet accepted and confirmed by the Interstate Commerce commission, so that they stand at present merely as recommendations to the commission and not the report of the commission of itself.
 The memsers of the commission conferred for an hour Wednesday af- ternoon over the report from New York that the recommendations of Frank D. Kellogg and Charles Sever ance had been made public and then authorized the following statement.
 The commission has not prepared d report in the so-called Hartman case. nor has it yet decided any of the questions involved in the inquiry. The whole matter is still under con- sideration and some phases of it are being further investigated
 "It may be that the briefs or mem- oranda submitted by counsel have be- come known in some quarters and the mistaken inference drawn therefrom that the commission has agreed upon a rpnort

Early Morning
 Incipient Blaze

About 2:39 this morning the quiet of the Tombstone public was disturb
 ed by the alarm of fire. Bells from each fire district announced simul- taneously that a confagrstion threat ened the city. Bremen rushed ex- Gitedly to and fro; hose carts glided
 luther and hither; old men but par ly clad, matrons heroicslly mad, maid
 ems en deshabii;e, with multitude oi
 vsriegated urchins formed a picture oi
 the foe to the flame. Belle changed
 ani pistol shots rent the air, the con-
 tin'lous noise serving to heighten the
 excitement oi those "goin' to the lire.
 After reconnoitering a short time the
 entire fire department, together with
 all the inhabitants of the city, arrived at the corner of Allen and Fourth I streets, where an incipient blaze was found in the fre-proof kitchen of Kreuder's restaurant. It appears that
 the origin of the fire was due to care lessness that permitted c spark or
 coal of fire to fall into the fuel box,
 where it fed and grew into portent-
 ous flame, to be quickly subduei as
 soon as the fire department discov-
 cred the motive of the clandestine
 monster. It required but few mo-
 ments to conquer the threatening flame
 but while so doing damage to the amount of about $250 was unavoid- ably done the kitchen furniture and the building.
 While the excitement was at its height and the entire building was in apparent peril, Mir. Kreuder was co,,lIy and quietly making prepsra- tions te furnish his guests with break fast this morning, showing conclu- sively that even a devastating confia- grafton will not serve as dsmpner on the enterprising proprietor of the | Tombstone Dining Rooms.
 MT, Kreuder served breakfast at the | same old stand this morning, the culinary department Icing as perfect, and the service ss uncxc slIed as though no mishap had occurred, the success of which is due 10 the efficiency of the Tombstone fire department. for whose tireless work the popular cs- terer is loud in praises and profuse with thanks.

Mail Cars Are
 to be Replaced

The Southern Pacific is preparing to replace all it's wooden mail cars with cars of sSsei.
 From designs of it's own motive poHer engineers, the Southern Pacific company's Sacramento shops have just turned the most advanced type of a l-etsel postal car. There is not a scrap oi wood anywhere in the car ex- cept the window frames. From wheels to roof tbe car is of steel-frame, floor, sides and 6tsings.
 Besides cutting down tbe danger of seisscoping and reducing deteriora- tion to minimum, the value of the ailsteei postal car, the raisoad of ticlals say, is that it protects the en- tire train from the fire danger by in terposipg an unburnable barrier be- tween the locomotive and the coaches The additional safety sees,red to postal emfloyes and the contents of the car is another imp ortsnt advantage
