II. II. Hartman has caused loss
to the stockholders of the Union Pa
cifc of over $40,OOO,OO0 by his stock
speculations with the funds of that

of directors yesterday.
A formal demand was made that

recover the sums lost to the company

The action is preliminary to a suit

Stirred Up in st. Louis
Society Over Mrs. Roose-

st. Louis, Mo-, March 13.-Mem-
bers of fashionable womens clubs of
st. Louis have stirred up pretty
muss among themselves over the
question of who should have issued
the official invitation to have Mrs.
Roosevelt visit st. Louis on her cruise
up the Mississippi in the Mayflower.
Mrs Otto Forster, who met Mrs.
Roosevelt during her visit to the
Worlds Fair in this city, was the
first to extend a welcome on behalf
of the ultra-exclusive womens clubs.
Mrs. George Frankel, after convers-
ing with several of the club women
who belong to the Federation OF
Women's Clubs, decided to ignore
the first letter and indited another to
the first lady of the land. Neither
have so far been answered from the
White House, though 1t is understood
in advance that Mrs. Roosevelt will
accept the hospitality of the city.
