Strange Talk Heard.

Conversations about low gear and high
gear. and other kinds of gears, could be
heard in all parts Of the house last night,
upstairs and down. Now and then
passing sleigh. with bells, would make
the ordinary spectator stop, look and
listen. The bells brought back fond rec
elections. But 20 the professional and
the real automobile enthusiasts the sleigh
bells had no more effect than the passing
Of a street car. The word horse is
never mentioned at an AUTOMOBILE show.
Many new cars were added 10 the
show yesterday. Several Of the exhibit
ors. in order to accomplish this, took
out cars that had been on exhibition dur
ing the first part Of the week and re
placed these machines with others OF the
1907 model that hadn't been seen IN Wash
ington before. One Of the largest if not
the very largest, cars at the show Will

Despite the heavy snow last evening
the largest crowd Of the week attended
the show. There were young people there
and old ones, too. Some didn't know any
more about automobiles than a South
Sea Islander knows about cold weather.
Others were so familiar with all the
various makes and their parts and their
names that the pronunciation Of chassis,
limousine or chauffeur never caused them
any hesitation whatever. But they all
had a good time-those who were wise

HARTMAN SEEMS TO HEAR
THINcs.

II seems to be evident that Edward
II. Hartman is recovering from his
severe case OF the "pubic.bedamneh"
policy with which he has paen alrlict-
cd eve. since he became railroad
mnsnatc. Judging from moves he
has recently made he Is now able to
hear when he puts his ea. to the
ground llarriman's idea of railroad
finance may he correct but they do
not conform to those cnte! tanned H.;
the people Mt large. He has made
good in Whatever field of railroad
management he has operated. as the
stockholders Of his companies can
testify. TO say nothing of the personal
fortunes of himself and his friends.
But the time has come when stock
deals in the way they have been work
cd out by Hartman must be divorced
from the railroad business
Recognizing the attitude of the pub
lie mind, Hartman has had n special
committee appointed TO act with the
executive committee OF the Union Pa
ciiic Railroad company to devise a
plan whereby the securities OF other
companies which are held by the
Union Pacific may be put in the keep.
ing OF the holding company. This win
separate the Investment side of tile
business from that of transportation.
The popular idea is that railroads were
designed only to ,.ans;er merchan.
disc and passengers from one part of
the county to another: not 10 trade
In stocks or to buy in other com.
panies
II was believed that when the ru-
NOR that the Investment securities
of the Union Pacific were to be seq.
regatcd was first circulated that. II
such thing ever were. II would he
done after a plan worked ont Nv Har
riman himself. As chairman of the
executive committee and practically
IN control of nearly all the Uuion PA.
cilic directors, Hartman could have
devised the scheme himself annonnc
ed ii and had 1t approved. 1t is graft.
iyms that he has preferred to follow
me more normal cou Sc OF putting the
whole matter in the hands of largo
committee of directors. perhaps This
committee will do the bidding of Mr.
Hartman and will not report any
plan of which the magnnte does not
approve, but it is Just the same better
10 have whole lot OF heads togethe-
on such an important matter and it
Is healthy sign that MIR. Hartman
is beginning 70 have the belief that
there are others in the financial and
railroad world besides himself.

THE SCHOOL BOARD VISITS THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.

On Monday last the Board of County
School Commissioners presented their
annual estimate of funds necessary for
the conduct of the schools during the
year beginning August 1. 1907. The
total estimated funds needed amounted
to $73, $50 the largest item of which is
S57, 500 for salaries, $4,000 for books
aud stationery and $4,000 for fuel.
Their estimated resources outside of the
levy are, free book fund, $4, 442 O5;
academic fund, 81 600; state free fund,
ST $50; state public schooltax, SOS, 942.-
90, leaving a balance to be provided for
by the commissioners of $40, 1866.
They further stated that under the recent
ruling of the attorney general that the
free book fund should be taken from
the state school tax, their state revenue
will probably be reduced about 81, 500.
They called the boards attention to the
need of a new school house at Chenille
and one at Forest Institute, and an ad-
ditional room at Hickory, besides the
unftness of seven old churches and rented
buildings now used for colored school
houses; that at Havre de Grace being de-
clared uncomforta unsanitary and
unsafe
