NORDICA STARTS WORK.
Plans for First Building of Her
Musical School Under Way

New York, July 9.-Active work has
been begun on the plans for the ad-
ministration building of the Lillian
Nordica festival house to be erected
by the singer at -Hud-
SON. This is the first of the group OF
handsome and artistic buildings that
fostered by the prima donna and three
men and women of wealth and society
who are to constitute the board of
managers and patrons, will go to make
up a musical institution similar in
every respect to the Wagner festival
house in Bayruth, Bavaria. founded by
Richard Wagner.
AS soon as the administration build
ing at Harmon is completed Nine.
Nordica will open 1t as a headquarters
from which the work on other build
ings will be directed by an executive
staff now being gathered for the pre-
liminary work in connection with the
practical construction of the opera
house and the buildings to be devoted
to the teaching of music and voice Gull

Complete Control Of Hartman
Over Expenses Remarkable.
Railway Wizard Makes Record
Despite Depression.
UP WITH LAST SEASON
No Falling Off in Net Earnings
Is Noticeable.
Other Items Of Interest i'm
Railway Circles.

Much attention is being devoted to
the statements of earnings of the Har-
riman roads. the particular feature Of
which is the complete control that
those who are in charge of the operat-
ing department have obtained over tho
expenses. This is made conspicuous NV
the fact that while there has bean :
decided decrease in gross earnings Of
late net earnings show but little air
ference from those ofthe correspindinr
period last year.
Gross earnings of the Union Pacific
ior May, Tor example. show a decrease
OF $l,ll0,74S, but the only loss in net
was *6S,2S6. For the same month gross
earnings of the Southern Pacific de-
creased $2,003.349. or 10 per cent while
the loss in net was kept down to s453-
2O3. For eleven months of the current
fiscal year the loss in net earnings for
the Union Pacific was kept down to
81, 407, 900, which is INSIGNIFICANT when
compared with the decrease in net suf-
fered by a majority Of the roads in the
United States.
Reports filed with the interstate COM
merce commission show that these
gratifying results have not been OBJ
tanned at the expense of the mainten-
ance of the physical condition OF the
property, because for the period COW
ered these expenditures have been as
liberal as formerly. The results must
be credited to the low cost of conduct
ing transportation, to which especial
attention has been paid and a record
made which cannot be exceeded. even
by the favorite Hill road This condi-
ton has obtained on all three of the
principal roads in the Union Pacific
system. The ratio of the cost of trans
portation to gross earnings on the
Union Pacific proper has been BIS per
cent, remarkably low figure. but that
OF the Oregon Short Line has been still
lower, amounting to only 225 per cent
of gross earnings, while the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company has
conducted its transportation at a ratio
of 2S.6 per cent of gross earnings For
April the Oregon Short Lines ratio of
the cost of transportation to gross
earnings was only 10 per cent, and in
the case of the Union Pacific road for
that month it was 27h per cent.
No other road in the country of any
Importance is able to show anything
like this record, and 1t could not have
been made on the Hartman roads ex-
cept for the immense amount of money
previously expended for physical i'm
provements. In the last ten years
there has been spent for such improve
ments on the Hartman roads some
$500, DOC, 000
The improvements consisted of the
lowering of grades, the elimination of
curves, the relaying of tracks with
heavy rails, the double-tracking of the
principal lines, the construction of
suitable terminals, freight yards, side
tracks, stone ballasting. and the. fur
nishing of all the lines with larger and
up-to-date equipment. The results OBJ
tanned constitute forcible evidence that
all such improvements pay in the long
run.

THE SUNFLOWER STATE.
What Its Delegates and Visitors Are
Doing.

Denver, July 9-Had John H. Atwood.
national committeeman from Kansas,
dropped into his states headquarters
it is possible that he would have been
Immediately looking for a side exit.
Mr.. Atwood might have been pulled
about by scores of his fellow statesmen
and each would probably have had
about the same question:
How about a ticket for me?"
Kansas seems to have Jared worse
than almost any other state in the
matter of tickets. The delegates were
allowed only three tickets each and
these were gobbled up almost as soon
as delivered. There are more than 300
here from the Sunf1ower state and 1t is
probable not more than a half of these
will see the inside of the convention.
The headquarters was packed. Ev-
erybody was in an ill humor.
Hugh c. Farrelly, candidate for
United States senator, was among the
disappointed ones at first.
Billy Newlin of Hutchinson, Kan,
an active Stubs worker in Reno coun-
ty, has been quite conspicuous around
the Kansas headquarters.

cratic candidate for the nomination of

that he is helping his candidacy.
So far as can be seen the Kansas
the vice presidency Some of the mem
mally. but even then these were mere
ly attempts to get at individual opin-
ions. John Mitchell is being talked OF
little. The argument regarding him
is that he would certainly carry the
Third district and, at the same time,
assure the Democrats representative
from that district. The Kansans will
try to agree by caucus on one of the
many candidates for vice president.
Among the conspicuous visitors at
the Kansas headquarters is w. E.
Clark of Smith Center, Kan. In ap-
pearance Mr.. Clark e. is like Buffalo
Bill his hair long and his imperial
mustaches luxuriant.
Ex-senator Harris of Kansas is a
type of Democrat who believes that a
convention should have some freedom
of action in making a platform and Sc
lecting it's candidates. He has been
insistent that the most available can
didate for vice president the Demo-
Gratis could nominate would be Cover
nor johnson of Minnesota, and the fact
that some of the Bryan men do not
like the manner in which the campaign
for Johnson is conducted has not
changed in the least the attitude of the
kansan.
With johnson on the ticket Senator
Harris believes the Democrats could
carry Kansas.

CROPS ARE GOOD.

New York. July edwin Hawley
has recently returned from an inspec-
ton trip over the principal divisions
of the Minneapolis e. ST. Louis and
the Iowa Central of which two rail-
roads he is president and also over
the Chicago & Alton in which he is
largely interested.
He found crop conditions in the
territory covered by him much bet
ter than he had expected. Corn has
been damaged to some extent on the
low ground, but Mr.. Hawley thinks
that when the crop is harvested this
damage will represent only an in
significant loss HIS says that he has
never seen the central west and
that part of the northwest through
which he journeyed looking better
than week or two ago, when he was
making his trip. Business men gen.
orally in the west Mr.. Hawley adds,
are expecting better times soon.

Hl1CHCOCk'S COMING.
Is Eagerly Looked Forward to at Hot
Springs.

Hot Springs, Va, July 9.-The
coming of Frank H. Hitchcock, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, was looked forward to today
the Republican political colony here.
One of the duties of Mr.. Hitchcock
will be the appointment of an execu-
tive committee of eight members who
may or may not be members of the
national committee. 1t is not expect
ed that the committee will be an
nounced Immediately as the selections
for this duty are made carefully with
a view of harmonizing all elements of
the party.
Representative Cooper of Wiscon-
sin, and Alfred o. Rogers national
committeeman for Wisconsin, left for
their homes last evening, after deliv-
ering to Mr. Taft a personal assurance
from Senator LaFollette, confirming
his former statement that he would
support the Republican ticket. Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho, Frank B. KEEL
logg. national committeeman from
Minnesota and Representative Wat
son, of Indiana left for their respec-
tive homes Mr.. Taft was up early
today and after spending an hour in
his office started for the golf links
with Postmaster General Myer and
former Governor Myron T. Herrick,
of Ohio.
Why Sheldon Was Chosen.
1t is announced that one of the rea-
sons for the selection of Mr.. Sheldon
as treasurer was that as treasurer of
the Hughes campaign in New York he
had made a complete public state
ment of the expenses of the cam
paign and that as treasurer of the
national committee he would make a
like report. the laws of New York ap-
plying in national as we'll as in a
state campaign.
In this connection it is recalled that
the publicity plan. which was favored
by Mr.. Taft and President Roosevelt,
was rejected by the Republican con-
vention.
The statement issued by the COM
mittee follows:
mr.. Geo. r. Sheldon is elected on
the recommendation of Mr.. Bliss of
New York ex-treasurer, who declined
to accept reelection. Mr.. Sheldon is
the president of the Union league club
of New York and was treasurer of the
Republican state committee during
the campaign of Mr.. Hughes for gov
ernor of New York and rendered a
complete statement under the pub
lfcity law of that state of the receipts
and expenditures of the campaign.
This was one of the reasons, in addi-
ton to the recommendation of Mr..
Bliss and the standing of Mr.. Sheldon,
that has induced his election, as the
law of New York requiring publicity
will apply to his action as treasurer
of the national committee"

Mr. Atwood is one of the best
known attorneys in the middle west
and his work in connection with the
prosecution of many important cases

been in Mr.. Bryan's confidence for
years and at the request of the Ne

Mr.. Cummings: HE is neither a

McKEEN HAS RESIGNED.
Union Pacific Motive Power Head
Takes Hartman Job.

Omaha, Neb., July 9.-W. R. Nc
Keen has resigned as superintendent
of motive power and machinery of the
Union Pacific Railroad company to
assume management for e. H. Harri-
man of the McKeen motor car shops
which will be established in Omaha,
with a capital of $1,000,000. The
manufacture of the motors at the
Union Pacific shops here has been so
successful as to create a demand for
the cars that can not be met except
by the establishment of an exclusive

President Mohler of the Union Pacific

manufacturer of the cars, have de-
cided this new arrangement necessary.
A new plant will have to be built in
Omaha in addition to the mammoth
Union Pacific shops already here.
F. F. Fuller, who has been assistant
to Mr.. McKeen, succeeds him as SUI

Willing to Accept Second Place If
Party Wants Him.

Denver, Colo, July eff the vice

honor 1 care nothing for it; if the
people want me to accept the office.
that is another matter. john
Mitchell
This is the statement of the labor
leader, until lately head of the United
Mine Workers of America, in refer
ence to his vice presidential aspira-
lions. The statement was made to a
friend who pressed Mitchell for
some expression that would give his
followers assurance that they were
not working in vain.
James w. Mytton, Jimmie as he
is known in the familiarity of poll
teal lingo, delegate from st. Joseph
Mo-, and the "originaf John Mitchell"
man, after a conference with the la
Dor leader said that he believed
Mitchell could poll great strength in
the convention. Mytton is bill"
Stones chief co-worker in the north
western part of Missouri, and a typi-
cal. bristling, hust1ing young Demo-
crat of the state. He enjoys the dis
tinction of having served two terms
as prosecuting attorney for Buchanan
county. something never before
known, and has figured actively in
Democratic politics of his state.
Mytton undoubtedly will be the
Democratic nominee for congress
from his district, the Fourth.
Mitchell is one of the most logical
candidates for the vice presidency"
said Mytton. HE is recognized on all
sides and by all parties as being a
born leader and with wide knowledge
of public affairs. Mitchell could poll
100000 votes, and they would go
to the ticket on which he runs"
Mytton says the Missouri delega-
ton, as well as Illinois, would give the
greater part of its votes for the
nomination of Mitchell.

yer convention. The nomination was
to be announced by footing whistles and
ringing bells. After the noise had sub
sided the plans include an advance on
Fairview where Mr.. Bryan's neighbors
will notify him of the nomination.
Mr.. Bryan received a large number
of kilograms this morning and the Fair
view mail was unusually heavy. Mr..
Bryan began work early and assailed
the huge pile of letters. During the
early morning he managed to do con-
siderable work without interference.
The destruction of the Taft banner
aroused excitement. The Republican
state central committee began work on
a new banner and Chairman Hayward
announced that he meant to protect the
emblem by force if necessary.
Many Democrats condemned the at
tack on the banner and disavowed all
knowledge of the affair. number of
Republicans insisted that the hosting
of the emblem was a mistake.
