HARRIMAh's DREAM REALIZED.

While people have been condemn
ing him, while government agents
have been prosecuting him, in the
face Of the greatest obstacles e. H.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, has
succeeded in realizing that dream Of
all railroad magnates, to have under
one management a line of railroads
reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciac.
In the past few weeks Mr.. Hartman
has been changing the railroad map of
the nation and instead of having but
one transcontinental system, as he
planned he would have with the com.
pletion of the Birmingham division Of
the Illinois Central railroad, which
will take place April 10, he now has
practically three transcontinental sys-
tens. On the Atlantic coast he has
the Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie and
the Central Of Georgia as his outlets.
On the Pacific he controls the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, together
with a network of lines about the Pa
cif1c coast. He not only has a trans.
continental line, but two or three of
them, and a grasp on the country that
looks like a strange hold"
The government has been on the
trail Of this prestidigitator for a couple
of years, but with all its facilities has
succeeded only in part in discovering
the arts by which he passes millions
from one hand to the other without
using a handkerchief for conceal.
ment. It is true that a few Of the
passes have been disclosed, without
credit to the passer, but the more fas.
cinating straightforward has not been
analysed.
At the moment when the wizard
seemed to have been worsted and Sc
curity values we're sliding down the
chute he bobbed up smiling with q
tale Of optimism on his lips. While
he was still supposed to be struggling
under a load almost too heavy to bear
he suddenly emerged with relief for
the Erie that may add it to his collec,
ton, and, by proxy, drove the last
spike In another tra%nscontinental line.
Bridging this great country from
ocean to ocean, and from Great Lakes
to Gulf, this man Hartman is plan.

HAWAII PROMINENT ON
NEW RAILROAD MAP

Being separated by a couple Of thou
sand miles of Pacific water from the
mainland has some compensating ad-
vantages for Hawaii. One Of them is
chs fact that we are so far from the
mainland that map makers wanting 10
give a complete map of the United
States have to give Hawaii a corner OF
her own. apart and distinct. This not
only calls particular attention to the
islands but gives the map men a
chance 70 spread the Hawaiian adden-
da on a larger scale than the map OF
the mainland. Thus. instead OF being
dwarfed by the larger states and terri
tories Hawaii looms up like a first
prize winner.
This is the case on the new map just
issued by the Santa Fe railroad COM
pany. for instance. the Islands having
a corner all their own, and in addi-
ton there is an up-to-date map Of
Honolulu. The Santa Fe map is a

well printed. Copies Of it for Offices

SEVEN LEPERs
TO LEAVE SUNDAY

The arrangements for the return of
the japanese lepers at Molokai TO their
native land have all been made, and
they are expected TO arrive here by
the Iwalani on Sunday morning and
be transferred TO the japanese steam
ship Kasato Maru and sail for Japan.
The arrangements were made on be-
half of the japanese government by
Consul General Mkt Saito, and the
action of the Territorial officials has
the approvaI of the government at
Washington.
The movement to send these lepers
to their native land came about
through the action of the japanese
people of the islands, and that was
based on the fact that Japan has re-
Gently decided to segregate the lepers
in her own country and TO provide for
them in leper hospitals. The commit
tee that was formed among the Japa-
nrese TO raise funds for the purpose
and carry it out, presented the mat
ter to the Board of Health. The Board
of Health would not consent to any
thing except upon the approval of
the japanese government, and the
making of arrangements for the trans
portation of these people to Japan.
The japanese government by a cable
to Consul General Mkt Saito announc-
ed its willingness that these subjects
who were suffering from leprosy and
were in the Leper Settlement at Mo-
lokai should be returned to their ma
tive land. Notice of this was sent to
Washington and the approval of the
Washington government was secured.
Yesterday A. L. c. Atkinson on be-
half of the Japanese, and President
Pinkham of the Board of Health, sent
wireless message TO J. D. McVeigh,
the Superintendent of the settlement,
President Pinkham authorizing him to
send the seven japanese lepers to Ho-
nolulu by the Iwlani. a message was
also sent TO the Iwalani at Maui au-
thorizing the master of that vessel
to receive the lepers. So they are
expected on Sunday morning.
Arrangements in the meanwhile have
been made with the master of the
Kasato Afaru to receive them on his
ship and transport them to Japan.
In addition to the seven japanese
there is one Korean at the settlement
who will also be taken back to his
native land if wireless communica-
ton can be established in time with
the Iwalani In addition there is a
japanese woman at the. Kalihi Receiv-
ing Station, who recently came to the
station from Kauai. 1t is believed
among the japanese that one of the
effects of this action will be to bring
any japanese lepers there may be in
hiding, out of their hiding. as they
will now know that they can be sent
home and will not have to go to Mo-
lokai
There will still remain four Japa-
nese lepers at the Molokai settlement.
These remain, not because they do not
want to go back to Japan, but be-
cause they are in the hospital at the
settlement being treated for other dis
eases than leprosy, and hence they
are not able to be sent at the present
time.
