Great English Coliseum.

The athletic stand that will be
erected in England for the Olympic
games next year will seat 367 900 peo-
pie. At Athens the Stadium seated
10000. The English stands will be the
greatest building of the kind ever
erected 1t will seat four times az
many as the ancient Coliseum at Rome!s
At the English derby, the greatest
sporting event of the world. they some
times have 100000 spectators, but only
few of these are seated. At least
half the number are scattered over
the hills within the race track and for
a mile up and down the course. This
gigantic preparation for the Olympic
games of 1908 shows how amateur
athletic sports have grown in popular
ity during the past few years.

Hartman Case Before Interstate Com.
merce Commission.
Washington, April 5.-Arguments in
the famous Hartman case, which was
heard by the Interstate commerce
commission a few weeks ago in New
York, have begun before the commits
sion here. The proceedings are not
In the nature of hearing, but merely
IN argument involving the question
| whether the Union and Southern Pa
cif1c roads are competing lines. In
bis testimony before the commission
In New York E. H. Hartman insisted
that the two lines were not compel
Ing lines.
Mr.. Harriman's side Of the case was
presented by John G.. Milburn and R.
S. Lovett, so far as the Southern Pa
cif1c is concerned, and by Paul D.
Cravath, who, it Is expected, will ex-
plain the deal respecting the Chicago
and Alton railroad which was brought
out at the New York hearing. The
Interstate commerce commission is
represented by it's special attorneys,
Frank B. Kellogg and G. A. Severance.
On the result of the arguments may
depend whether Mr.. Hartman and his
associates are to be prosecuted as a
combination in restraint of trade un-
der the provisions Of the Sherman
antitrust law. When on the stand in
New York Mr.. Hartman declined, by
advice of counsel, to answer certain
inquiries put to him by the commits
sion concerning the transfer of GER
tain Union Pacific stock. 1t has not
been determined yet whether the COM
mission will endeavor to force Mr..
Hartman, through proceedings in the
United States courts, to answer those
questions or not.

WILL AVOID PROSECUTION
Corporations to Restore Coal
Lands TO Public Domain.

Chicago, April ga dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Washington says;
1t is learned that the Hartman cor
| porations, whose qualifications extend
| to coal lands and other vast interests
in the Far West, are Offering to re-
store to the government properties
| they have heretofore claimed as theirs
| by good and ample title. They prefer
to do this rather than be prosecuted.
Coal lands worth in the aggregate
| millions of dollars are to be restored
to the public domain as a result Of
recent activities of the Interstate COM
| merce commission. The commission
several months ago set about to in
| vestigate the land frauds in wyoming,
Colorado and Utah.
| AS result Of it's investigations the
| department of justice was given trans
cripts of testimony taken at Omaha,
Salt Lake, Denver and Pueblo by In
| terstate Commerce Commissioners
Prouty and Clark and was directed by
the president to prosecute in any cases
where there was ground for prosecu-
ton.
At the first suggestion of prosecu-
ton, however, the Union Pacific Coal
company has capitulated. It has made
q proposition to the government that
it will return a large area of wy
oming coal lands to which it admits
it's title is worthless. The govern
ment law officers are considering this
proposition and while final action has
not been taken it is learned on the
authority of men who have been con-
Quoting the investigation that it will
probably be accepted and the lands
returned to the public domain.
It is understood on high govern
ment authority that the officers at the
department. of justice will give the
Utah Fuel company and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company a chance to
return the lands in the same manner
and that if they refuse prosecutions
will be commenced at once.

TO DEFEAT HIS POLICIES.

Against Roosevelt

Against Roosevelt.
Washington, April 5.-The big in
terests of the country have inau-
gurated a movement to discredit Pres
ident Roosevelt, prevent the achieve
ment of his railroad and other reform
policies and to block the nomination
by the Republican party of Secretary
Taft or any other Roosevelt man.
This movement IS now under way in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and California.
This is the information President
Roosevelt has received from a source
in which he places reliance. The
men behind this movement are E. H.
Hartman. J. P. Morgan, the Rookie
fellers and other Standard Oil inter-
ests, the tobacco trust and certain
other capitalist combinations which
have suffered from the presidents &C.
tivity.
The movement is much like what is
known as the "rich mans conspiracy
of 1904, when, at a meeting, Hartman,
so the president has been informed,
solemnly expressed his conviction that
he could deliver the delegates to the
Republican convention from Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado
and California to an anti-Roosevelt
man. Investigation demonstrated that
this claim was preDOsterOus.
