SAYS HARTMAN
HAS GOULD Lines

NEW YORK, July 30.-The Amer
ican says: BY treaty of peace be-
tween E. H. Hartman and George J..
Gould, which Wall street heard was
approved by both parties today, inn
mediately after Gould's arrival from
Europe, Hartman becomes the domi-
nation factor in the Gould railroads
and the Erie becomes the eastern
outlet for both the Hartman and
Gould systems, besides getting an
entrance into Pittsburg.
Under this arrangement Hartman
becomes master of about 10000
miles of railroad main track and
scores of ocean lines. Gould will re-
main president of the companies as
heretofore, but it is understood that
Hartman will dictate the policies.
This arrangement will rehabilitate
the credit of the Gould companies.
1t will enable the Gould roads to
raise money for Improvements that
are desperately needed. 1t will give
Hartman joint use with the Missouri
Pacific of the, Western Pacific rail-
road. 1t will give the Erie railroad
a half interest, either by direct own
ership or trackage rights, over the
Wheeling and Lake Erie and the
Wabash Pittsburg terminal.
At one stroke this turns both the
Gould and Hartman lines into trans
continental railroads. 1t makes
Hartman the first man to bestride
the continent. He has achieved his
ambition of being the first man in
the United States to control an oceas
to ocean railroad.

.SOTHERN DIVORCE
CAUSED BY ACTRESS

ATLANTA, Ca, July 30.--If on
December 23, 1906, Virginia Harmed
had remained in Atlanta instead OF
jumping 1000 miles to Chicago for
the sake of seeing her husband, E..
H. Sothern, the divorce suit now
pending might never have been filed.
On the night mentioned Miss Harmed
appeared here at the Grand in Ca
mile"
She played to packed house and
then hurried back to her hotel, where
she entered the long distance booth
to get into communication with Chi
cago, where Sothern was then play
ing. 1t was her custom to talk with
Sothern every night, no matter how
far apart they might be. She got
Chicago, hut she could not get Soth-
ern to the telephone.
Greatly excited she caught the
midnight train for Chicago. 1t is
stated that there she learned her
husband was attentive to beautiful
actress. 1t was Christmas and, it is
further said, Miss Harmed learned
that the actress was staying at the
Annex. She hurried there and found
her husband and the actress to-
gether. Then followed scene and
the estrangement which led to the di-
vorce proceedings.

1 snouIu ran II would damp my ardor.
But l never have had an accident
81 have continued my experiments
with various models, many of which
| still have In more or less complete
shape. in various towns in Illinois,
Missouri. Iowa, Indiana and Ohio. The
last flight made in one of my machines
took place near Shelbyville, Ind, three
years ago. My assistant manned the
car, and several short flights of 200
yards and less were negotiated with
success with and against the wind and
across 1t.
"Now, although many people who
have not studied the matter may scofr,
| venture to predict that within five
years there will be constructed aero
plane ships to carry crews of twenty
to thirty men. having engines of from
GOO to 1000 horsepower and capable
of n flight of 1000 miles at clip.
'The ship which I am building ac-
cording to the specifications furnished
the government will stay in the air
one hour, will make It's ascents and de-
two men. My experiments have prov
ed to me that the planes above and
below must be perfectly fiat. and there
will be no curves or concavity in them.
During the hour that it remains in the
air my ship will maintain its equilib-
rum, be under perfect control and
move in all directions, as required by
the specifications provided by the sig
nal corps. The weight of the genera
tor will be 400 pounds, and 1t will be
a craft of 100 horsepower.
"As compared with the aeroplanes
of the near future the craft so far
made are as dugouts to the modern
ocean liner. I have the greatest re-
spect and consideration for all the eff
forts that have been made by NJ. Hen

city, who was operated on for appen-
dicitis at the Joseph Ratti hospital at
Bloomsbury last Thursday evening,
was reported as much improved yes
terday and the family begins to en-
tertain hopes of her recovery.
When the operation was performed
the disease was found to have reached
such an advanced stage as to almost
preclude the possibility of recovery.
The little patient, however. proved
a perfect heroine; in addition to which
the hospital affords the very best and
most scientific mode of treatment. AS
result the unexpected seems about to
happen and it was stated yesterday
that the patient is practically out of

Grip Germs From Mars?

1nterpolated in his predictions for
February, John c. Busby, a weather
prophet Of Independence, Ia, advances
a theory to explain the presence of the
grip germ. The native habitat of the
germ, he \says, is the planet Mars,
which is now very near to the earth,
and the germs have leaped through the
Intervening space. He believes that
Mars is inhabited by human beings
like ourselves, who, he would infer,
have suffered recurrent attacks of the
prevailing malady for years.
