HEARST IN LEAGUE WITH HARTMAN?
WILLIS ]. ABBOT GIVES SOME FACTS

Washington, July lin the New
York American, and probably i'll Other
newspapers of the Hearst syndicate.
appeared on Wednesday of last week
an article which seems to have a GER
tain significance When Mr.. Hearst
nominated himself for mayor of New
York, he made trade with Benjamin
b. Odell, the former governor of the
state, and at the moment the Tepubli-
can boss of the state. BY this deal
Hearst's personal ambitions were to be
advanced and the republican candidates
for the legislature aided by the Hearst
organization.
1t was 4 matter of nOtOriety at that
| time and has since been a matter Of
official record that the man back of
Odcll was one f. II. Hartman. Some
time thereafter there was talk of an
understanding between Mr.. Hartman
and Mr. Hearst. Mr.. Hartman con
trolls the Southern Pacific railroad, be-
sides many other railroads. Mr.. Hearst
has a newspaper in San Francisco
which for a long time fought the South

been very silent on the subject.
| 1t seemed incredible that Hearst, the
fearless tribune of the people, Should
be allied with Hartman, but it was
not to people who know anything about
his management of his newspapers
There are no papers edited so thor
oughly with view to the personal in
lterests of their owner as the Hearst
lpapers; therefore such expressions OF
compliment to Edward II. Hartman rs
those which appeared in the New Yori
American last week are most signifi
cant. The most striking article on
the first page bears these headlines
which may be somewhat condensed:
"ROADS JOIN TO FORCE

Masters of 100000 Miles of Trackage
Aroused by Alarming Increase il

!, The article itself, after describin!
, how brave an act it is for anyone t,
antagonize the powerful steel trust
, goes on thus:
. HARTMAN LEADS THE REVOLT.

diplomacy, and recently he gave an or
der for 10000 tons of rails to the Ten
nessce Coal q Iron company, practic-
ally the only Independent plant in the
country. He did so after Mr. Krutt
schmitt, vice president of the Southern
Pacific. notified him that 449 rails on
his line had broken in the month O,
February. OF these .179 had been in
service less than six months"
Mr.. Hartman was quoted at saying
with the order:
THE lives of the passengers on
the Southern Pacific are more valua
bic than the necessity for dividends OF
steel stocks
Mr.. Hartman S example has strength
ened the hands of the American Rail
way association, which. through it
committee, intends to make a finisl

ISOLATION"
When the picturesque and usual
somewhat hysterical language of tn,
introduction is ended, the reader find
that Edward H. Hartman is givei
nearly column to tell of the sins O
the steel trust and how nobly he is or
posing them.
If the Hearst newspapers were rm
today as newspapers, instead of as pc
litical leaflets, the Hartman intervie
would be what is called good stuff
AS matter of fact. it is interesting
but the manner in which the story i
handled indicates only too clearly t
those who understand the presen
Hearst methods that the reported con
bination of Hearst and Hartman ha
foundation in fact, and is probabl
complete. The famous trust buster
and the trust organizer seem to hav
gotten together.

fact that the typical modern lawyer is
addicted to quibbling, trickery AMI
technically, and cares nothing about
justice. the merits of the case. or the
real issues. He thinks it altogether
proper to confuse the court and get
reversible error" into the record ~
hook or crook. He prepares snares
and pitfalls for the judge, and rejOicos
when the efforts are successful. He
stretches statutes and solemnly argues
for interpretations that he knows 20
be prcpOsteTous. He defeats homes
claims. regardless of all moral consid-
erations so long as some loophole 70"
the rascally client can be discovered.
He deceives legislators into putting
jokers into bills and then goes into
court TO invalidate the acts fashiOne
by himself with an air of innocence
and good faith He takes advantage
of the failure of a plaintiff to observe
the most technical and obscure rules
of practice. He will get off, crimi-
nails and turn them loose in the com.
munity on the most trivial and trans
parent preteXts. And SO on, to the
end of the indictment.
Mr.. Hill gives a number Of striking
| illustrations. especially from criminal
IpraCtice, to illustrate his charges. For
example, Il burglar who had robbed 4
railway station and killed a constable
was once saved from conviction on :
charge Of murder in the first degree by
the point that the statute in regard Il
burglary was so wOrded as not f.
cover railway stations. and that the
constable had been guilty of trying Il
make an Illegal arrest in interfering
with the burglar.
Only lawyers can so well expose Ia
gal Chicane and artful lodging. and il
is to be hoped that Mr.. Hills eXampl-
will be widely followed by other con
scientiOus members of the profession
As he says. lawyers should see them
selves as others see them.

4 Fourth of July celebration was
given in New York by Tammany. Bryan
was asked 10 attend, but, being unable
to do so. sent the following message:
q trust your celebration will increase
the enthusiasm of the New York democ-
racy and direct attention to the fact
that the economic questions before the
country, the trust question and tariff
Question and the railroad question, all
involve the same issue. namely, whCth-
or the government shall be administer
ed in the interest of a few favorites or
IN behalf of the whole peOpie? Other
questions will enter into the campaign,
but these questions emphasize the i'm
portance of applying to the govern
ment the JeffersOniau doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to

There's the democratic position in d
nutshell. Along these lines democracy
Las fought and will fight Bryan is the
foremost exponent of these democratic
ideas. THE trust question. the tariff
question and the railroad question all
involve the same issue, namely, whether
the government shall be administered

Patchogue, l.. l., March 14.-Four
women and one man, of Patchogue,
l.. l., were attacked by rabid cat
with such ferocity last week that on
the advice of the family physician
and a fellow-practitioner called in
consultation they were sent to the
research laboratory OF the New York
Board of Health. at the foot of East
Sixteenth street, for treatment. The
wisdom of this course was shown
when report was received from
the laboratory, where the brain of
the cat had been examined microsp-
ically and given the usual tests en-
ployed by Pasteur to determine the
characteristic disintegration of the
brain matter as 1t appears in hydro
phobia.
The report was specific and posi-
tive in determining that the animal
was suffering from rabies in its
most violent and dangerous form.
