APPROACHES
HARTMAN IN MOCCAs|NS
Quietly Preparing to Use
Hatchet Because of
Alton Deal
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CHICAGO. March ga Washington
special to the Inter Ocean says prepa-
rations to proceed against E. H. Harri-
man are going on quietly at the direc-
tion of the President, who is deter
mined that the exposures brought out
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at New York some time ago shall
be sifted to the bottom.
He wishes to avoid, however. all the
stir possible in view of the present
condition of the railroad situation as
reflected in Wall street. The Depart
ment of Justice has been at work on
the case for some weeks and the In
terstate Commerce Commission is also
rushing the preliminary work on its
final report on the investigation. This,
however. cannot be completed until
some time after April 4, the date set
for the final arguments.
Both the Hartman roads and the
commission have announced that they
have no further evidence to submit and
all that now remains is to hear the
protests of the railroad attorneys
against the proposition that the merger
of the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific is a combination in restraint of
trade and hence violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law.
The Alton deal is what Is being es-
pecially investigated by the Depart
ment OF Justice. The latter has been
CO operating with Governor Deneen
and Attorney General Stead. but 1t is
understood that the Illinois officials
have told Attorney General Bonaparte
that there is no statute In Illinois un-
der which the Alton deal can be
reached, and that If Hartman is to be
proceeded against the action will have
to be by the Federal Government
1t is likely that the prosecution will
be for violation of the Sherman act.
It is pointed out that the procedure will
be almost parallel to that in the North
ern Securities case. when the Govern
ment won.
There is also thought to be ground
for criminal prosecution by the Fed
eral Government in connection with
the San Pedro-Oregon Short Line con-
tract and this really makes a third
matter for the Government to settle
with Hartman.
Nearly all callers who visit the
White House nowadays come away
confident that something extreme Is
going to be done to Hartman, and
what they say is taken as reflection
of the Presidents views Of the matter.

ONE PERSON IS HURT

PITTSBURG, March 22.-The Chicago
limited, from New York to Chicago, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, while go
ing about thirty y-five miles an hour, was
wrecked at Stewart, seventeen miles
east of here, today. The engine and
the first of the cars were derailed. The
only person injured was ]. A. Watts,
an employe of the United Railroads of
San Francisco. He is not seriously
hurt. The passengers were transferred
to the three rear cars and brought to
this city. where another train was
made up and they continued their
journey.
Evidence that the track had been
tampered with was found at the scene
of the wreck. An investigation by the
railroad officials showed that the fish
plates had been removed at the rail
joint, the bolts having been taken out
and the rails bent inward. claw
bar and several other tools not prop
erty of the railroad company were
found near by and it is believed that
these tools were used by the wreckers.
The train was derailed on straight
track, and to this. was due. beyond a
doubt, the escape of the passengers
from serious injury. The officials at
tribute the work of the wreckers to
either malice or a plan TO loot the
train and passengers.

graphic reports reaching here from
Czernowftz. on the border, been exag-
gerated.
1t is estimated that 400 homes IN
MoIdaya have been devastated and
5000 fugitives have fed over the Rou-
nianian frontier into Austria "A total
of 10000 Jews is homeless. The num-
Der of dead and wounded cannot be
given accurately. but the reports OF the
day give a total of about eighty-hve
men killed and about $50 wounded.
The outbreak seems today TO have
been partly suppressed. The Rouma-
nian Government Is still sending troops
into the affected district. Practically
the entire province of MOldaVa has
been involved
The movement is really more agra
rian than anti-Semitic. The peasants
are in revolt against the great farm
ing trust, which has leased half the
cultivatable lands in Moldava. The
absentee landlords who control the
trust are Jews, and this fact brings
the ire of the peasants down upon any
and all Jews that they meet, and to
this situation is added strong racial
feeling, arising from other causes.
On Thursday 500 peasants tried to IN
wade Michaelineot. despite the fact that
there was a sufficient number Of Rou-
manian troops in the station to stop
the rioters. The peasants at first got
the upper hand because the soldiers
acting on the orders of the prefect Of
the town, were not permitted by their
officers to open fire. In the face OF the
menaces Of the furious peasants. how
ever. some Of the soldiers did fire
against orders. This volley killed If
teen Of the rioters and wounded forty
five, whereupon the peasants withdrew.
A more successful attack was made at
Vaslui. to the south of Jassy. Here a
body OF 1000 peasants forced its way in.
The prefect did not have sufficient
troops at his command to stop the in
furiated countrymen- He stood by,
helpless witness, while the rioters in
an incredibly short space OF time plum
dered practically all the buildings on
the three principal strets OF Vaslui
and set them on fire. The peasants had
looted freely and the fire completed the
destruction.
The prefect sent in a hurried appeal
for reinforcements, and the peasants.
ignorant Of this step, remained in the
town until the soldiers arrived Then
ensued a serious fight, in which the
soldiers won. Twenty rioters were
killed and many wounded
The most serious fight OF the day
occurred near Piatra, a town about
sixty miles southwest OF Jassy. Sew
eral thousand peasants marched against
this town, where an entire regiment OF
infantry was stationed. The soldiers
charged the peasants with fixed bayo-
nets. The peasants replied with rifles
and revolver fire, and then the troops

The police are puzzling over the
strange story that has been told them
Of an alteration between Samuel

man, and a dashing woman giving her
name as Mrs. Houston at her residence.

dor yesterday on a charge of battery

Investigation could be made. Davador,
who had been staying at the Hotel St
Francis. has suddenly disappeared and
all efforts to locate him have proved
futile.
According to the story told by friends
of the mining man. Mrs. Houston called
him I'D at the hotel and invited him
out TO her house. When he arrived
there his friends say he was introduced
TO another woman, who shortly after
left the room.
The story goes that Davador was
making love TO Mrs. Houston when she
screamed for aid and man rushed
into the room. lively scuffie is al
legged to have occurred, in which Dava-
dor was worsted and thrown out Of the
place. Miss Houston is also said to
have emerged from the fray in a badly
battered condition.
Mrs. Houston stated last night that
she was introduced 20 DavadOr by
friends and that she invited him to her
home for a social evening. She says
that he attempted to make love TO her
and that she resented his attentions
and ran upstairs 10 summon aid.

returned DavsdOr struck her a blow in
the face. telling her. She says that she
was unconscious for several minutes
and that when she came to her guest
had fed. Mrs. Houston saws that the
incident was witnessed by several We'll

refuses 10 divulge
Mrs. Houston lives IN a magnifcently
furnished establishment. She claims to
have been in this city for many years
and that after the fire she took up
her residence at her present address.
Davador attracted a great deal OF at
tention when he registered from New
York at the St. Francis several days
ago. He is a tail foreigner, evidently
a Frenchman. and dresses in a man
ner that eXcites curiosity. He claims
10 be a French Count and to have eK-
tensive mining interests in various
