JAIL PROSPECT
FOR HARTMAN
PROSECUTION OF THE GREAT
RAILROAD MAGNATE LIKELY
TO BE STARTED.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-In the OPP
fnion of men close to the President
and to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the prosecution of e. H. Har-
riman and his associates for violation
of the Sherman antitrust act in merg-
ing the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads will be undertaken by the
Department of Justice next fall. The
reasons given for such an assumption
are based on the belief that an. actual
violation of the law has taken place,
and that the only reply that can be
made to Hartman, who alleges he is
being prosecuted, is to file such a suit
and find out which is right
There is no doubt that Frank B..
Kellogg, the only Government attor-
ney who has thus far gone into the
merits of the case, is of the opinion
that there is ground for legal action
against Hartman on several counts.
While the conservatives on the In
terstate Commerce Commission have
had their way in the preparation Of
the report made Saturday, the radicals
on the Commission are still outspoken
privately to the effect that suit should
be entered by the Government. Fear
ing, however, that it would be charged
that the Commission had exceeded its
authority in recommending prosecu-
ton under the Sherman act, when its
duty was to administer only the Inter
state Commerce act, the conservatives
prevailed in framing the report, but
this fact has not lessened the serious
ness of the split in the Commission as
to what should be done.
The decision In the matter rests with
Attorney General Bonaparte, who is
now taking part of his summer vaca-
ton in Massachusetts,. After he has
determined what to do he will report
to the President and final disposition
of the case will be made.

HAS ROOSEVELT
FOUND TIE Way?
THE PRESIDENT HAS AN I'M
PORTANT NEW BIG STICK" FOR
CORPORATIONS.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-President
Roosevelt is credited here with having
under consideration a new and novel
plan for attaining better federal con-
troll over railroads He is said to pc
contemplating a recommendation to
congress for such legislation as will
enable the government to become a
small stockholders in some of the large
railroads with view to having a rep
resentative placed on each board of Gil
rectors.
By this process the government
would become thoroughly informed as
to the inside facts of every railroad
and be in position to force such re-
forms as it might desire to make.
Nothing is known expect that the pro-
position has been laid before the presi-
dent and that he is giving it careful
consideration. 1t has been represented
to him as a step in the direction OF
accomplishing reforms in the railroad
business that could not be secured IN
any other way. The most serious
objection is that it is really the first
step toward government ownership and
that it was the step taken by Germany
before that government went into ma
Atonalization of railroad properties,
After having gotten this sort of foot
hold in the railroads, Germany went a
step farther, bought a trunk line, re-
duced rates and dubbed all the other
roads into submitting; the ultimate
result was government ownership.
If the president decides to ask Con-
gress for legislation he will recommend
that funds be appropriated to pur-
chase = small number of shares of stock
in certain railroads that may be select
ed. When these shares have been ac-
qulred, assuming that Congress would
fall in with the plan, the administra-
ton will know how to proceed to force
the roads into allowing the government
director on each board. 1t is not
thought there would be much difficulty
in obtaining a director, as the govern
ment would know to use its great
strength to secure its desires. Once
part of the great railroad combIna-
lions, the governments representa-
tives would have no trouble in becom-
ing acquainted with every detail and
would be in position to quickly report
violations of the laws of the country
by the carriers.
1t is said if the president does not
determine to adopt this suggestion, de-
morcratic leaders in congress will bring
it forward, acting under the advice OF
w. j. Bryan, who has for some time
been considering similar scheme and
is believed to be at work upon it's de-
Velopment. 1t is in line with Mr..
Bryan's ideas that the government VIII
ultimately be compelled to purchase
and operate the roads. 1t is likewise
in line with his views that the govern
ment should exercise the fullest sort
of supervision over the roads until
the period comes when there will be
popular demand for government own
ership.

An interesting test of Mr.. Bryan's
present popularity in Missippi was de-
veloped during the recent Williams
Vardaman debate at Meridian. The
governor is a Bryan man, and natural
ly he referred in his address to the
Nebraskan as the next Democratic can
didate for the presidency. At this,
there were a number of voices in the
audience shouting, eve hope not Bry-
an means sure defeat" It was signi-
ficant, it seemed, that there was no
counter demonstration. This change
of feeling in Mississippi dates from
the Madison Square government own

 Years ago when our ancestors (" did chores by lantern and read The News by candle light, they little dreamed that the day would come when their houses would be illuminated from cellar to garret and their barns from basement to hay mow by simply turning switch and sending the electric current through a pair of wires and little did they dream that their descendants would, when they desired to talk with a neighbor few hundred feet distant or the friend in another part of the state, walk to little box contain. ing bell and crank and carry on 8 conversation by wire in the same tone o1 voice that one would use in addressing another person in the same room. No1 did they dream that the free daily de livery of mail to station near the .'front gate" would ever be a reality. In the olden days once a week, or twice al most, the men folks went to the village store for the mail. No one ever thought of receiving it more frequently on tht farm.
