TRIAL
NOT POSSIBLE
Hams Brothers Will Not Face
a Jury Until Middle
of November.

New York. Aug. 22.-All hope of
bringing the Hams brothers to speedy
trial for the killing of William f. An
mis- at the Bayside Yacht club last Sat
urday, has been given up. The trial
probably will not begin until the mid
die of November. No attempt VIII be
made for release in the meantime, nor
will the Hams brothers ask for
change of venue.
1t may be decided tomorrow whether
or not to ask for separate trials. AT
the conference held today regarding
the conduct of the case, the private
sentiment favored basing the defense
on the confession which Mrs. Hams is
alleged to have made to her husband.
but which she says she was forced TO
sign Mr.. Mcintyre, counsel for the
defense, said he had no doubt that he
will be able to get that statement be-
fore jury.
Counsel for the accused brothers are
not in a mood to make overtures to
Mrs. Hams in order to obtain her as
sistance at the trial They hold that If
called upon she will be compelled TO
repeat in court what she mas said in
this alleged confession.

HAD FRONTAL HEADACHES

DROPPING IN MY THROAT

MRS. ELIZABETH H MARTIN. 3S2

Garfield Circle, writes:
"Peruna has been a blessing 10 our
family for a good many years, as we
have all used it off and on for colds and
catarrh, and / have given it to all of
my children with the best of results
IT found that a cold left me with
catarrh of the head in a very bad
form. My head was stopped up, l had
frontal headaches, my eyes bothered
me, and there was a nasty dropping in
my throat which nauseated me and
made ii impossible many times for me
to eat my breakfast.
"As soon as 1 began to use Peruna l
found II relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and in a remarkably short
time was rid of catarrh.
II can, therefore, give my personal
experience with your valuable medi-
cine, and am pleased to do So"

Railroad men in Salt Lake who have
made a careful study of the various
maneuvers of Edward H Hartman,
the railroad magnate, are of the opin-
ion that there are indications of 4 sre-
mendous railroad struggle in the east,
which may involve the Pennsylvania
line and the New York Central lines,
which have in the past avoided taking
part in the numerous wars of the west
ern lines. These students of the rail
road situation say now that Har-
riman and Gould have come to some
sort of an understanding, there is no
probability of a fight resulting from the
opening of the Western Pacific They
say that the fact that Hartman has
Strengthened out the financial difficult
ties of the Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road, a Wabash branch into Pittsburg,
indicates that the Harriman-Gould I'M
Outstanding is even more far-reachibS
than is generally supposed.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie is called
by railroaders the ''most expensive rail-
road in America" 1t is twenty-six
miles long. and each of the twenty-six
miles cost $3.50, 900. 1t was built so that
the Wabash could get into Pittsburg,
but after its completion it did not Sc
cure the business expected, for various
reasons, and there were times when it
was difficult for its managers to pay
the interest upon its bonds.
A short time ago, when this interest
fell due. Hartman supplied the funds,
it is said, so that there would be no m
terruption in payments and conse-
quent embarrassments to the line. This
fact is looked upon as significant.
1t is the opinion of several Salt Lake
railroad men that Hartman now plans
to force business from his western lines

WHAT IF HARTMAN ATTEMPTS TO
CONCENTRATE THROUGH TRAFFIC
ON ONE EASTERN TRUNK LINE?

over the eastern roads he controls, and
that the Gould roads may be included
in his plan of campaign
His western system, it is said, has
now been thoroughly organized and re-
quires less of his immediate attention.
With the vast volume of business
which passes over his western lines to-
ward eastern points, it is said, II would
be possible for Hartman to build up
another eastern line as powerful as the
Pennsylvania or the New York Cen
trail. and it is considered probable that
this may be included i'm his future plan
of campaign.
Both the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central are said to be at present
upon good terms with all of the west
ern lines, and the officials of both roads
are said to be anxious to maintain
that policy. But if Hartman under
takes to send all of the business of his
own western lines and of the Gould
lines to New York over a railroad of
his own choosing for the purpose of
building up great line to the ATTAIN
tic coast, it is said he will stir up a
titanic struggle with the powerful in
terests back of the Pennsylvania and
the New York Central railroads.
In the maps issued with it's new fold
ers, the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
now shows the Western Pacific road,
marked with red line. Printed across
the state of Nevada, in the map, are
the words: Twill be completed and in
operation in 1909" The completed por-
tons of the new railroad are indicated

lowing the course of the survey.

SANE ENOUGH
TO TALK STRAIGHT
Harry K. ThaW Makes State
ment Regarding Petition
in Bankruptcy.

Poughkeepsie, y. Y, Aug. e.
Harry X. Thaw made public tonight a
statement that is reply to various re-
ports regarding his financial dealings
that have arisen since he filed his pc
tition in bankruptcy. Thaw. in his
statement, says:
Il am able to say that statement
attributed to Mr.. Semple was not made
by him. Mr.. Semple will assure any
inquirer that l have never given q
draft of any kind upon my mother. At
my request my business attorney, Mr..
Lyon, obtained a loan for me on June
8, 1906. from my mother, but that Is
very different from drawing upon her.
have not drawn upon her at any
time
No Subtle Scheme.
Regarding the rumor that che has
same Interior purpose in being rad-
judged a bankrupt, Thaw enters sspe-
cific denial. His lawyers, Colonel
Bartlett, Mr.. Morschuer and Mr.. Pea
body, have had charge of the conduct
of his case. he says, but they have
paid no attention TO his business mat
tiers, which were in his own hands
until heavy claims, some of which he
believes were gross overcharges, forced
him to protect himself and his legiti-
mate creditors by maintaining an APP
plication in bankruptcy. The bank
ruptcy proceeding. he declares, was no
subtle scheme of his lawyers.
VIII Guarantee Return.
Thaw says that he has no wish to
go to Pittsburg. as he believes that
Mr.. O'Mara and Governor Stone will
protect his interests, but if his pres
ence is required his counsel will add
their word to his that he will return,
or if a bondsman, not a counsel, is
needed here in Poughkeepsie, he has
friends who will put up $4,000 or $4,000
which he thinks is ample as security
for a citizen charged with no crime
whatever and detained under a COM
mittment which no lawyer or authority
considers to be legal or constitu-
tiOnal.
