HARTMAN ISSUES
SHOW We NEED
LIMITATION BILL?
Stock and Bonds to the
Amount of $11,O00,0 900
to Be Sold.

Mr.. Hartman has passed the bill to
limit issues Of capitalization by rail-
roads," declared an official OF The Inter
state Commerce Commission, discussing
the Union Pacifc's announcement that
a total OF Sill. 100000 OF new stocks and
convertible bonds OF the chief roads in
the Hartman group, are TO be issued
This official did not Overstate the Ieei-
ing in Washington concerning the an
nouncement of the new Hartman is
sues. For some weeks there has been
much interest and concern as TO the
financial turn which Mr.. Hartman
would make, by way of caring for the
big commitments Of his system. There
has been fear, too, that whatever policy
was adopted would have bad effect
on the money market These fears, Il
is considered have been IN part real
lied already in the slump that followed
announcement Of the Union Pacific plan.
Demand for Limitation.
The demand for legislation to regulate
such issues is now expected to become
the occasion for the most important
and lengthy Congressional debate Of the
coming session. Nothing like a detailed
plan for handling the matter has been
worked out as yet. Opposition 10 the
il means nothing less than chaos in the
whole realm Of railroad finance. The
financial sEOwings Of different railroad
systems will be analysed IN the effort
to prove that they cannot submit 10
such a regulation without having their
finances hampered and their plans or
expansion and betterment crippled.
Against all this showing from the rail-
road side IL viii be urged that such
financial methods as Hartman eXem-
pliiies can only be cured by strict Cow
eminent regulation. II will be demand
cd that hereafter no issues of Capitali-
cation shall be permitted except when
some proper Government authority shah
have been convinced that the issue -
jCscihable on the grounds of the needs
and plans OF the issuing company, and
IS assured Of being remunerative At
once there will come In the question
Of whether one company shall be allow
Cd to issue its own Capitalization in
order to buy control of other properties.
This alone will be the occasion for an
epochal debate

EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.

The average ann cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg
lect them, as SO slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy a good reputation.

ITALY PROTESTS TO

Objects to Cuba's Delegate to
The Hague.
WAS NAMED BY MACON.

Washington. June 24-The Italian
Government has communicated to the
State Department its displeasure over
the appointment of Orestes Ferrara
as a delegate to The Hague peace
conference from Cuba. Ferrara, ac-
cording to the representations made
was formerly an Italian subject and
made good deal of trouble for the
Italian government. The Uniteo
States is informed by Italy that 1t
is disagreeable for the Italian dele
gates to the conference to have to sit
in conference with the Cuban dele
date. Governor Magoon, of Cuba,
made the appointment and it
is understood here his appointment
was made to please some of the for
mer rebel leaders.

ITS OWN REPAIR WORK.

Owing to the fact that the railroads
are gradually wedding out the old,
small, wooden freight cars and are or
dering steel cars of great capacity, it
has been found nece ssary to replace
machinery in many of the shops, and,
in addition to installing heavy machin-
cry, it has been decided to enlarge the
shops on certain divisions on account
of the increased repair work. The
strong lines are taking the position
that it is better to build their own cars
and make their own repairs, and the
Pennsylvania is doing more of it's own
repair work now than at any period
in its history, running its shops the
full time. except on Saturday, when
they are run but half day.

STORY OF A HISTORIC HUNT.

Armed For the Fray, the Frightened
but Determined Old Settlers Sought

The first steamboat that ever turned
her PROV against the muddy Usage wa
tiers was the Flora Jones in the spring
of 1S44 There was no commercial
club in those days to stimulate river
traffic, no telegraph or telephone to her
aid to the hardy pioneers the approach
of the boat-only the unearthly shrill
screech of a banshee-like whistle,
enough to blanch the cheek Of the SIM
pie minded folk who had lived far
from the worlds progress.
The little boat went up as far as
Harmony, Mo-. in Bates county. His
tory records the fact that when the
Flora Jones pulled her way along the
st. Clair county shores and the wall of
her siren was tossed back and forth
by the limestone bluffs many of the
old settlers were not only frightened
figuratively out of their boots, but lit
orally out of their homes. Matthew
ArbucllIe, a pioneer, tradition tells us,
was blowing in his field about mile
from the river when the wall of that
whistle struck his ear. He unhitched
his horse from the pillow. managed to
get on its back and, wild with terror,
struck for the hills. In one hour he
was at Papinville, fifteen miles dis

rider white with terror. He had bare

INTERCHANGE OF FREIGHT.

The state railroad commission meets
the shippers of Richmond shall have
an interchange Of freight between the
Pennsylvania and the c., c. & l.. All
the shippers in the city want this inter
change andssome are actively cam
paigning to get it, while others, for
some strange reason, are remaining
passive. 1t has been limited that in
the case of the latter their passivity
is due to a desire not to antagonize the
zation has stated in no uncertain terms
that it is decidedly against any inter
change OF freight. Every citizen,
however, is alive to the advantage
Richmond would derive from an inter-
change of freight. 1t would make fac
tory sites in all parts ofsthe city more
valuable and attractive to concerns
considering locating in this city. 1t
would enable those factories already
more economically from the transpor-
tation standpoint.
Practically, the only objection the
Pennsylvania has raised is that it
would be too expensive to make the
connections necessary to render inter-
change possible, considering the
originated. The Pennsylvania is hard
ly justified in taking this stand. 1t
should not. consider the amount of new
business that will be originated imme-
diately, but it should cooperate with
our shippers in rendering it possible
by the interchange of freight, to in
crease our future business. The
Pennsylvania should not forget that
Richmond's industries pay it a large
sum of money every year for freight,
and that furthermore these same in
dustries support our population, from
tie sum. each year in passenger fares
Considering these points, it is self-evi-
dent that the Pennsylvania, if it is sue
cessful In baking an interchange of
freight, has no respect for the needs
and desires of people from whom it
draws portion of it's revenue. We
trust, however, that the state railroad
commission will feel that the demands
of our shippers are just and according
ly, will order the interchange of
freight.
