miss the midsummer jinks. they stayed
away this time for fear that the bell
might be touched and there would be
no response.
Hartman was at his big office on
the tenth floor early yesterday morning
and there was a long line of bankers
loilmen. financiers and men with schemes
to promote the welfare of several con-
tinents on hand to get the attention OF
the great railroadman.
Those who had an appointment with
him had to be punctual, for Hartman

out his minutes to those who see him
as if they were the last on earth.

f. Z. Calvin, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Southern Pacific,
accompanied Mr.. Hartman north.
E. 7. Cory. general manager and

day and made report on the work that
was being done in the Imperial valley
and the condition of the levees for the
curbing of the waters of the Colorado
river 1t is said Hartman was pleased
at the showing.
Epes Randolph. who represents the
Hartman lines in Mexico, also saw the
big chief and made report on the work
that was being done in the neighboring
republic.

strolled into the Flood building at noon
yesterday and, his presence becoming
known, he was the object of much
curiosity to every small boy working
in the Hartman employ.

thing of his fathers nature and uncon-
cernedly took the elevator for the tenth

SAY DR.. ORT[GA
KILLS OFF RIVALS
ExiIes From Guatemala Expose
Bloody Rule of Cabrera and
Right Hand Man

A circular letter showing up in de-
tail the condition OF affairs existing in
Guatemala under the corrupt and
bloody rule of Cabrera and his clique
has been scattered broadcast among
American physicians, the evident pur-
pose being to discredit the fifth Pan
American medical congress, which
opened in Guatemala August 5.
The letter was signed by DR.. Eus
both exiles from Guatemala and well
known in San Francisco. In it bitter
attack is made against DR.. Juan j. Or
tega, the presidents right hand man,
who has charge of the preparations for
the congress. 1t says that Ortega, him
self an incompetent physician, is afraid
of the rise of any other member of the
profession and throughout his career
has adopted the simple method of
eliminating competition by getting
them killed or imprisoned.
When Dr. Calderon was arrested for
attending to the wounded on both sides
during the war of 1890, they declared.
Ortega daily pleaded for his death. A
year later he seconded a duel, and is
charged with having forgotten" to
load DR.. Proves weapon with powder.
In 1895 he sent five dangerous rivals to
Zacapa to stamp out the yellow fever.
The lot were herded in one night and
taken to the disease stricken spot as
if they were so many prisoners. They
were given no medicine and allowed no
chance to provide themselves with the
necessary appliances. Four of them
died. The fifth, DR.. Ruiz. left the place
against orders, was later captured, i'm
prisoned and shot.
The circular concludes by asking the
physicians whether they will shake
hands and accept the hospitality OF
man OF such character.
AS far as the medical profession OF
the west is concerned the congress has
been of but little interest. No physi-
clan from San Francisco is attending 1t
and it is doubtful If there will be any
present from the entire state From a
scientific standpoint 1t is considered al
most valueless, and those American
physicians who do attend will go more
for the pleasure of trip abroad than
anything else.
