HARTMAN HAS
BEEN DREAMING
SAYS THE PACIFIC SHIPPING
TRADE WAS A SENTIMENTAL.
UNDERTAKING.

Chicago, Aug. Edward H. Har-
riman, while in Chicago for few
hours last night, talked freely of
railroad conditions and of Asiatic
trade. When asked why the trans
continental roads had decided to go
out of the Oriental trae he replied:
'sThe Oriental business is largely
sentimental The hope of building
UP large Asiatic trade through the
Pacific has been largely dream,
and it has turuned out to be to a
great extent a fake. 1t was not my
dream, for / have been familiar with
conditions in this regard from the
very first. The interstate commerce
commission has ruled that the roads
must do certain things in connection
with that trade, such as publishing
the inland proportions of their ex-
port rates and their dealings with
tramp steamships. We believe that
there is not enough business to war
rant our taking chances of injury to
our inland or domestic business
What will be done with your
ships that have been engaged in the
Oriental trader"
Ships Only Garry Air.
"Well, we have been carrying air
mostly in those boats, and l suppose
that we can continue to do SO. The
Japanese would like to control the
Pacific trade and eventually they
may"
In speaking of the deal whereby
"a syndicate of bankers recently took
up 100000 in short time notes of
the Wheeling & Lake Erie, Harri-
man said:
There is to be no abandonment
of railroads nor is there to be any
combination of railroads overnight.
What has been done has been under
taken solely with the purpose of saw
ing a bad financial situation.
What l have done has not been
done for the purpose of making
money" he said, "but simply be-
cause matters were becoming tangled
and it had become necessary for
someone to try and make bad sit
uation better. Some of us do rot
believe that it would be good thing
for the country generally if more
railroads should go into the hands
of receivers, and so we are doing
what we can to prevent this in the
interest of self-preservation. That is
all there is to 1t.
I'm fact, things have become so
complex that / scarcely know where
1 am. 1 am going out to the Siski-
you mountains to think over the
situation and when / come back
may be able to talk intelligently
concerning the futurue.
"But in the meantime I should
like to have it understood that there
is no deep laid plot back of it all,
but that the deal back of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie was simply to save
railway and thereby benefit all
other roads alike"
Hartman declined to discuss po-
litical matters.
"They don't interest me at all" he
said.
He predicted an improvement in
business conditions.

Milton's Tercentenary. -.
The tercentenary of Millions birth
day comes on December 9th, and it is
urged that America should join with
Great Britain in celebrating that day.
The New York Sun wants some uni
versity, preferably Harvard, to unite
with Cambridge, England, to get up
the celebration.
Such a celebration, we think,
would meet with warm response.

ing the liberty of his countrymen.

when he told of the downfall o! the
devil What a reporter he would
have mads for a national convention:
How would this description do fer

tins?

Aspect he rose, and in his rising
seemed t
A pillar of state; deep on his front
engraven
Deliberation sat, and public care;
And princely council in his face yet

Majestic though in ruin. Sage he

With Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear

The weight of mightiest monarchies;

Drew audience and attention still

CUSTER SUIT HEARING.
Taking Testimony In Missouri Case
Against Harvester Company.

Of testimony in the custer suit of At
torney General Hadley against the In
ternational Harvester company Of
America on the allegation Of violation
Of the antitrust laws, was begun here
Thursday before Special Commission
er Theodore Brace. @r
The company admits doing business
In Missouri as agent for the Interna-
tionaI Harvester company of New Jer-
sey, but denies that 1t Is violating the
state antitrust laws. The directors
and officers of the company are the
same as for the New Jersey company
and stock is held by Trustees G. A.
Deering, George w. Perkins and G. H.

that this showing is evidence that the

put and prices for the sale Of agricul-
tural machinery.

wiped of the map is Vici, postof-
fee in the southern part of Woodward
county, where 1t Is said there is not
a house left standing.
Thrilling incidents are being related
by all who have received any informa-
ton from the storm center. Mr.. Hale
Of Little Rober was one Of the most
prominent cattlemen in that locality.
DR.. Howser at Vici was taking refuge
In a dugout when he was killed. A
horse was lifted by the wind and
dashed through the top of the dugout,
burying the victim beneath the entire
earth roof Of the dug out and the
weight Of the animals body. A horse
belonging to Mr.. Sibel Of Mutual was
killed when a piece Of 2x4 lumber
was driven through his body. At
Mutual IL young persons had gathered
for a Sunday evening social. The
storm lifted the house completely OF
the floor on which they were seated,
leaving the floor and the young PEG
pie unframed. o. e. Null and daugh-
ter, of the vicinity Of Arnett, were
overtaken by the storm while driving.
They took refuge in a hollow tree,
but their horses were killed when
nearby tree fell.
AS there is family on every quar-
ter section Of land in the storm area,
which is a mile wide and fully fifty
miles long, definite figures on the
number Of victims are not obtainable
as yet.

sand persons, including representa-
tives Of political, official and social

many places about the stands. Over
the speakers portion of the presidents

Of Ambassador Nabucho.
During the ceremony the flag OF
each of the score and one countries
represented was hauled aloft by a
bluejacket from the Washington navy
yard and attached to wire and when
the last one had been placed in posi-
ton, the group made line OF emDlems
that stretched from one end OF the
court to the other. AS they were be-
ing hauled up the marine band played
strains from the national airs Of the
particular country the flag represented.
On the presidents stand there were
seated the cabinet, the supreme court,
the diplomatic corps and members of
the senate and house. John Barrett.

Topeka, Kan, May S.-The applica-

federal courts for a temporary in
junction to prevent the board of rail-
road commissioners inforcing the new
freight rate schedules, will not be
heard next Wednesday. 1t is not
known just when the hearing will be
held, as Judge John G. Pollock of the
court has been sent to the east to try
some cases and it cannot be told just
when he will return. A restraining
order is now in force so that the maxi
mum freight rate schedule cannot be
made effective during the indefinite

the actual life of Washington and so far
are we at this time that many of the chill
dren read and hear about him as if he lived
centuries ago, when in fact there are those
still living, who perhaps lived at the time
Washington did, yea perhaps even knew
him personally Not that his life is tar
nishing by age, but that young America is
travelling at such rapid gait that hun
dred years seems like centuries, which ac-
counts for the remoteness of his life.
