HARTMAN WAS
NOT CONSULTED
Rock Island People Sold the Al
ton Road to Clover Leaf
on Short Notice.

New York, Augustine Rock Island
people did not consult E. II. Hartman
when they bought control of the Chi
cago e Alton, and they did not con-
suit him when they sold it. Mr.. Harri-
man is in San Francisco, but it seems
that his interest in the matter has
Willingly or ~unwittingly been well
taken care of by the parties to the re-
cent transaction.
The Union Pacific owns $40, 100
Alton preferred, representing an in
vestment of about $500, OOO The stock
draws per cent dividends. Seeing
that these dividends are paid is the
chief concern of the Union Pacific in
the Alton.
Must Get q Per Cent.
The new purchasers of the Alton
must continue TO get per cent pre-
ferred dividends out of the Alton in
order to pay interest on the per cent
collateral bonds secured by Alton pre-
ferred. AS long as the Rock Island
can get the interest on these bonds the
Union Pacific will get the dividends
on its Alton stock.
Hartman finds his $4,000, 600 Alton
investment delivered without his con-
sent into the keeping of his old friends,
Edwin Hawley. General Hubbard, and
others.
Under the terms of the transaction
the Alton turns over to the Glover
Leaf S6,3S0,000 Alton preferred at 100
cents on the dollar, and gets in return
Sc, 600 par value Glover Leaf col
lateral trust bonds, bearing 4 per cent
interest, secured by the preferred
stock so turned over. In the absence
of any data showing the life of the
bond it is safe to say that it is not
worth more than 80 or go per cent
say. from $4,000 900 to 1880, 900, in
round figures for this lot.
Further, the Rock Island turns over
S14. 420.000 par value Alton common at
80 cents on the dollar, and gets in re-
turn collateral trust bonds of the Clio
yer Leaf. bearing 2 per cent for the
next five years-in other words. S4.-
10000 Glover Leaf per cent bonds.
secured by $14, 900 Alton common.
Interest Now Much Higher.
Thus the Rock Island, on it's orig
inal investment of from $4,000, 900 to
SO, $50, 600, has been receiving only
S255, $50 per annum-that is, per cent
dividends on $500 shares of Alton
preferred, or, say, 212 per cent on the
original investment. They will now
receive this and $50, 400 per annum ad-
ditional-the per cent interest on S4,-
100000 par value 2 per cent bonds,
total of $685.. SOC per annum, or, say,
3 1-3 per cent on their original invest
ment.

Aged Uncle of Steel Trust Man In
 Great Grief Over Marriage.
 PITTSBURG, May 3.--The official announcement by Miss Mabelle Gilman in New York that she would be mar. ried to President w. Ellis Corey of the United States Steel corporation in New York on May 13 caused great grief in the breast of J. B. Corey, the old and wealthy uncle here. The old gentle man fairly wept. He will go into a local pulpit the day before his nephew is married. where, he says, he will speak of divorce and marriage.
 "So Ellis is going to marry that painted creature of the stage! We'll, this is a sad day for the name of Corey" said the old coal king as tears coursed down his cheeks.
 'Mark you. this marriage will be re- gretted in time," continued Mir. Corey. "The day will come when harm will be shown. It is neither human nor de- cent that man should divorce the wife of his youth, the mother of his children, ill order to marry another woman, and one of the stage at that. I have frequently been miscalled the father of Ellis. I do not relish such mistakes at this time."
 Mrs. Laura Cook Corey, the former wife of Corey, who obtained divorce so that he could marry Miss Gilman, is with her mother. She refuses to be seen

tainly fair to arrive. at the con-
clusion that Waldo has been made

ferlor to her sister ship, the Louis

In Newport News. The Newport News

the Louisiana has proved herself the
superior of the Connecticut In every
respect. That has been fully proved

MUNICIPAL MILK FOR WASHING

Tho latest and most surprising eX.
pertinent In municipal ownership is
to be made In the city of Washington,
under the shadow Of Congress- and by
persons appointed to office by the
President. The commissioners of the
District of Colunbit are going to set
up municipal dairy under commits.
sion of which DR.. Wiley, government
chemist, and DR.. Stcrnhcrg, formerly
surgeon of the army, will be mem.
hers.
In spite of the expenditure of mil.
lions to filter the water OF Washing.
tho the city continues to suffer con-
stantly from typhoid fever. The doc.
tors have not been able to locate the
source of infection, though the public
supply of milk is suspected. Apart
from that there seems to be no doubt
that 90 per cent. of milk now con.
sumed In the city comes from cattle
infected with tuberculosis.
The district has severe food inspec-
s'Nt ih"o, but WV CpSl VI VI
destroying half the COWS in the diaries
has made 1t impossible to enforce
them. The plan finally adopted is for
the city to provide enough certified
cattle to yield pure milk for the use
of infants and gradually to increase
the supply willie encouraging private
dalries to adopt the same precautions,
Tho idea seems to be that, by force
of example and perhaps practical en-.
enlargement in breeding, the dairles
can be induced to substitute certified
cows for the tainted ones now In use
to such an extent that after n fen
years tho inspection laws can be en-.
forced
1t is not quite certain that there is
authority of law for this experiment,
but the commissioners are seeking 1t.
and the federal departments interest.
cd are helping them. Should the mu.
nicipal dairy in Washington accom-
plish the expected results, 1t will be
a useful example for other cities.
