READY FOR HARTMAN.
The Government Has Been Waiting on
Its Attorneys.

Washington, Jan. 22.-With reference
to the contemplated suit against E. H.
Hartman by the government question
ing the legality under the antitrust act
of the purchase by the Union Pacific of
the controlling interest in the Southern
Pacific and other railway lines alleged
to be in competition with the Union Pa
cific, Attorney General Bonaparte said
today that when brought, the suit
would be based on the report of the in
terstate commerce commission Of last
Pacific and other railway lines alleged
merger were given. He said that after
the report had been made the subject
of it had been discussed at conference
held at the White House, when the en-
tire matter was referred to the depart
ment of justice for consideration and
investigation and that early in last De-
cember action was determined upon but
was delayed by reason of the unexpect-
ed absence in Europe of c. A. Sever
ance, one of the special counsel for the
government. He added that Mr.. Sever
ance has now returned to the United
States and will be in Washington with
in a few days as also will be Frank B.
Kellogg, the other special counsel
When they arrive the attorney general
will have a consultation with them af-
ter which an authorized statement will
be made to the public.

TAFT. men PUZZLED.
They Don't Understand Kansas Ac-
ton on Primary Bill.

Washington, Jan. 22.-News of the
action of the Kansas house of repre-
sentatives in providing for the cleo
ton of all delegates to a national
convention at a primary in May,
gave much satisfaction to those OPP
posed to the nomination of Secretary
Taft They see the probability of two
delegations from Kansas which here
tofore has been considered a sure
Taft state. Under the national con-
vention call the legislature alone can
not provide a way in which delegates
to the national convention shall be
elected. 1t takes the joint action of
law and the state or congressional
committee. The Kansas state COM
mittee having called a state conven-
ton for March 4, it is presumed this
convention will be held at the time
designated and if the mouse bill shall
become law 1t is also presumed that
delegates will be elected at the May
primary. This would create a COM
plication that would give great salts
faction to opponents of Taft. 1t is
known here that the time for the
Kansas state convention was fixed at
an early date so there might be a
decIarat ton for Taft and Instructions
given to delegates elected for him.
With a probability of other delega tes
being elected at later date it would
depend on the present national COM
mittee as to which set of delegates
would be seated. This committee at
its last meeting in Washington was
anti-Taft. While opponents of Sec
rotary Taft see very much encourage
ment at the news from Kansas his
friends are confused and disappointed
and should the legislature agree to the
house bill it would SO complicate
matters as to make it probable that
Taft will not have delegates from
Kansas in such a manner that there
will be no question of their right to
seats in the convention.

HER UNCLE's MONEY.
Miss Emma Blaclxrnore Says He Gave
Her $4,000 and Sues to Keep 1t.

Emma BlaekmOre, a beautiful girl
scarcely twenty years of age, and an

that she has more than ordinary bust
ness ability by continuing to outwit
shrewd attorneys who. are attempting
to wrest a small sized frotune from
her which she claims her uncle leIt

After getting the best of the attor-
neys almost at every turn and being
made the plaintiff to suit instituted
by Lydia E. Blackmore, widow OF the
uncle of the girl, Emma Blackmore,
has now brought suit in the United
States circuit court against the widow
and the bank that refuses to pay oyer
the $4,000 certificate of deposit winch
she holds in her possession.
The suit has some unusual features;
Emma Blackmore claims that she ana

anything to do with the girl. mat

claims the money because she is the
Administrative of the estate and the
bank refuses to pay until the court de-
cides to whom the money belongs.
Though threatened with arrest at first

SALARY OF $4,000.
Will Be Lost to Shaw When He Quits
the Carnegie.

New York, Jan. 22.-Ex-Secretary
Shaw stated today that he has not re-
signed from the presidency of the Car
negie Trust company, but had contract
ed to sell his holdings in the company
and If paid according to terms, would
resign on March 1. He declined to dis
cuss the differences which have existed
between him and Mr.. Dickinson, who
with his immediate family owns the
control of the institution. Mr. Shaw
says he came to the Carnegie Trust
company on his retirement from the
secretaryship of the treasury on March
4, under a contract with Mr.. Dickinson
and his associates in control at salary
of $4,000 a year. When 1t developed
that Mr.. Shaw and Mr. Dickinson diff
fered as to policy and methods, Mr..
Shaw proposed purchasing control of
the institution but Mr.. Dickinson de-
clined to consider the offer and Mr.
Shaw therefore contracted to sell to Mr.
Dickinson. Mr.. Shaw says his best
wishes remain with the institution and
he hopes for it's continued success.
Mr.. Shaw declined to discuss his po-
litical ambitions, further than to say
that he is as much interested Gin the
wise solution of public questions as
ever and as certain in the convictions
that the continued success of the party
in power is essential to that end
He has made no arrangement for his
business future.

A FARCE SAYS BURTON.
Ex-senator Expresses His Opinion of
Primary Law.

Ex-senator J. r. Burton of Abilene,
is spending a few days in Topeka
watching the political community of
interests get in it's work at the state
house. Senator Burton said:
This primary election law is a farce.
1t amounts to nothing. What's the use
in trying to patch up the farm when
you have tenant in there who is con-
tinually tearing thing to pieces? The
first thing to do is to get out the tenant
What difference does it make about the
primary law when we don't have a
democracy? We never have had pure
democracy in this country or in any
other country
You observe that the senator from
my county, Senator Brewer, has intro
duced a bill in the senate making the
office of bank commissioner, of board
of control members. and so forth, cleo
tive. That is because there are five or
six hundred copies of my paper, Home
Rule. circulated in that county, and
people want to have little more de-
mocracy.
Primary election laws do not help to
break down the machine. There's Dan
Anthony, in this district. Dan is rich,
and he can be returned to congress as
long as he likes. under the primary law.
He will hire a man to come out in every
county necessary and can be renom-
mated by merely getting 25 per cent or
the vote His poStmasterS control ~
per cent of it already. The only way
to break this up is to make everything
elective from governor to road over
seer and from president to postmaster"

CAUGHT A BOOTLEGGER.
Mike Kelly Is in Clutches of tho
Police

Mike Kelly, whose name is not new
once in police circles, was arrested last
night charged with distributing liquor
by the boot Logging scheme. His beat
was East Sixth avenue to the Santa Fe
depot and the officers claim that he has
done thriving business during the
past few months. On account of the
mode used in distributing the fire wa
ter 1t is almost impossible for the po
lice to make a capture and find the Of
fender with more than small amount
of liquor on his person.
The method employed by the boot
logger is unique. He has a regular list
of customers, many of whom belong to
the white horse gang and most of the
remainder belong to the village drunk
ard class. A customer makes his wants
known and the bootlegger goes to the
seat of supplies and comes back with
a package Of the required size
The police claim that it takes three
or four members of the bootlegger
brigade to care for the wants of the
customers on the Quincy street beat
Saturday afternoon and evening. 1t is
from theis source that the farmer boys
receive their supply of whisky for the
occasional spree in which they indulge.
The police are determined to break up
the bootlegging business If it requires
the entire time Of the police force for a
day or so.

Claire Boone. II years of age was

"In this room,'' the letter went on,
there is a valuable French painting
of a woman and of peculiarly Infamous
suggestivity.'
In another letter Thaw suggested
that plumbers working on a building
adjoining the Twenty-fourth street
house might be induced to drop some
heavy article through the skylight
and reveal what was below. Thaw
also called attention to the fact that
there was libel suit in Paris insti-
tuted by young woman who had been
mentioned as posing for the picture
previously complained of. Thaw de-
clared that the houses in Twenty-sec-
ond and Twenty-fourth streets were
ICONS ecrated to orgies by a gang of
rich criminals
Thaw, in his letter suggested that
a copy of one of his letters be sent
to District Attorney Jerome and also
suggested that If Comstock needed
he might ask Miss Helen Gould for
assistance in that line. Giving the
name of a young actress. Thaw de-
scribed at length what he said was
an effort to save this girl from 1.-The
backyard" Thaw said he enlisted
prominent man in the cause, who
was at first Ioath to believe that such
practices as complained of existed,
but afterwards was convinced. This
man threw his protection. about the
girl, but when he had gone abroad
1.-The BLACKBOARD got her.
Offered Moro Money.
Besides four victims 1 have al
ready told you about, there is anoth-
err" Thaw continued. THE black
guard asked her to marry him and
she left her place. 1t is now being
talked about in the newspaper offices
and I hope to be able to give you the
name and details soon. Please destroy
this"
In several of the letters Thaw
spoke to enclosing $1,000 more for
the secret service fund. Thaw wrote
under the name of Ferguson" in
accordance with an arrangement he
had previously made so that his name
would not be included in the annual
report of contributions On cross ex-
animation District Attorney Jerome
asked Mr.. Comstock If he ever got in
to the oath street house.
NO sir"
The prosecutor devoted much of
his time with the witness to calling
attention to the fact that the state
ments in the letters were coherent,
understandable and rational in their
references to historic evidence. The
communications, the witness said,
came in the usual way through the
mails, with postage full paid and adj
dressed to directions given to Thaw.
Mr. Comstock was still on the
stand when recess was ordered.
