HARTMAN STOCKS

Southern Pacific Reached High
est Point in Its History
Last Week.
TALK OF A HOLDING
COMPANY IS REVIVED
Assertion Made That Preferred
Stock Will Be Replaced
by Bonds.

Several minors weTe prevalent In
New York during the past week relative
to the Hartman roads. the Southern Pa
cific and Union Pacific, and they had
most decided effect on the stock OF
these roads, One was that the directoTA
were to increase the dividend rate on
Southern Pacific from 6 per cent to
per cent per annum. SO as to encourage
preferred stockholders to exchange
their holdings for common stock. An
other report had reference to the issue
Of 5l00,000,000 Az per cent bonds to
retire preferred stock before it is placed
upon permanent cumulative per cent
basis in 1910.
The dividend on Southern Pacific
was not raised to per cent, the regu-
lar quarterly dividend OF ~ per cent
was declared, and no announcement was
made by the directors to any bond is
sue. The day before the meeting Of
the directors, however, which was on
Wednesday last, the rumors were vigor--
ously current, and though they were not
confirmed, they were not denied, and
this naturally stimulated buying by in
vestors and speculators. The result
was that Southern Pacific common rose
69s points to ll9s, and Union Pacific
common 3M points to 1878, while
Southern Pacific preferred advanced
lh to 120, and Union Pacific preferred
1 70 pOlulS W
This was the first time in the history
of the Southern Pacific that it crossed
l19, and Union Pacific also broke new
ground for the year, selling at 1875
Talk About Holding Company.
Coincident with the reports in regard
to an increased dividend rate for South
ern Pacific and the alleged contem-
plated issue of convertible debenture
bonds for the retirement Of that road q
preferred stock, additional rumors were
put forth stating that the long-dis-
cussed plan for forming holding COM
pany for the Union Pacific Railroad
company g investment assets will be an
nounced within the near future and that
this plan provides for distribution
among the shareholders of a 100 per
cent stock dividend.
While it was believed by most sre-
cialists in the Hartman shares that
these reports were premature, it still
was thought that they were generally
correct and that the Southern Pacific
preferred stock will be retired before
the end of this year and that it will be
replaced by a convertible Gebenturo
bond issue, although such plans as we'll
as the proposition TO increase the South
ern Pacific common dividend to per
cent a year. have not been completed

NOTES OF ~"

The recent agitation at the univer.
sity with regard TO the introduction Of
set of rules regulating the actions
Of students at the University of Utah
has resulted in the posting by the up
per classmen, il conspicuous place on
the campus, of printed copies Of the
following set OF regulations:
Rule l. No junior shall wear a Derby
or other stiff hat.
Rule 2. No sophomore shall wear
any hat other than q soft crusher Of
style adopted by his class. He may
wear any kind of cap, however. No
sophomore shall take more than one
roll in his trousers.
Rule 3. No freshman shall walk IN.
side the cement walk around the cen.
trail campus. If he crosses that part
OF the grounds he shall be required to
run. No freshman shall loiter around
the steps OF the library building. No
outside his trousers No freshman shall
wear a hat of any kind. He may wear
a cap. No freshman shall have his
trousers rolled up.
Rule 4. The rules for freshmen ap
ply also TO ''preps -. In addition, no
prep shall year a cap of any kind I'M
less the sad cap be worn With the
lining outside and the outside next
his head,
According to the posters, the rules
are to be effective on and after Mon
day morning, November 23 but are not
TO apply except between the hours OF
Z a. N. and p. m, and moreover, they
shall be inforced only while student
is actually on the university grounds,
The students say that the rules are
patterned after similar regulations
which are effective in other modern col
leges, and they believe that the major
ity of the freshmen will be perfectly
willing to abide by them The upper
classmen and the sopbomores accepted
the rules before steps were taken to
have them printed. and while there are
probably some freshmen who viii raise
objections, the other students say that
few hair-clipplngs and a bath or two
in the Thirteenth East street reservoir
will take the life out OF any freshmen
who are inclined to be obstinate. Most
of the freshmen seem to figure that
they will soon be sophomores and that
their turn will come then.
The main trouble, the students say,
will be in connection with the medics,
who think that they should be exempt
from any such plans, This does not
coincide with the idea Of the engineers,
however. and they will probably make
it 90 hard with The medics if any at
tempt is made to resist once.
Since the boys do not intend to modest
any student while he is off the campus,
they do not anticipate any intcrfer-
ence from downtown sources, and they
hope that the plan will be received in
the spirit in which it is launched, so
that no action by the faculty will be-
come necessary,

BREAKING OF HAUsER DAM.
Town Of Craig Swept Away-Prop
erty Loss, $4,000.

VAty 0VooS Y1V,VVVs
HELENA, Mont, April 15.-In
every town and village on the Mis-
souri, river in northern Montana the
residents are terror-stricken and are
fleeing to the hills to escape the food
caused by the breaking of the TO-
foot dam at Hauser lake yesterday
afternoon. The town of Craig, in
Lewis and Clark county, 46 miles
north of Helena, was more than 20
feet under water, and from every in
dication tens of thousands Of dollars
worth of property was swept away.
The 40 inhabitants of the town are
camping on the hills.
Last night General Manager Ger
ry announced that the water was re-
ceding and che is confident that no
damage will occur beyond Craig.
The latest estimate of the loss is
from 100000 to 100000.
The Hauser dam was completed
last year at total cost OF 1900
900, and many Eastern capitalists
are interested in the company. The
structure was 631 feet long and
nearly 400 feet gave way and was
washed down stream.

JOINT DEBATE IN TENNESSEE
Carmack and Patterson Factions In
Bitter Campaign.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 10.
-Chattanooga will be the scene to-
morrow of the first skirmish in the
verbal battle for the governorship
of Tennessee, when Gov. Patterson,
who is seeking reelection, will meet
former United States Senator Car
mack in a joint debate.
This war of words will extend to
43 other stumps in the state and will
probably result in one Of the bitter
est campaigns in the political his
tory of Tennessee. The final debate
will take place at Brownsville on
June II. some two weeks prior to
the gubernatorial prpimary which
will decide the political fate of the
contestants.
The feeling between the Patterson
and Carmack forces is extremely bit
ter in some sections of the state, and
1t Is unlikely that the campaign will
be brought to conclusion without
bloody fights and fatalities among
the partisans Of the candidates.

cREsToN CLARKE TOMORROW.
THE Power That Governs" a Fine
Vehicle for His Talent.

Two seasons ago Creston Clarke
presented portrayal of Booth
Tarkington's Monsieur Beaucaire,"
which fingers in the memory OF
many theater-gOers and has been
fruitful of fine fancies since that
time. This son of John Sleeper
Clarke and nephew of Edwin Booth
comes of family who know the art
of acting, and this younger scion
has long been recognized as a capa-
BILE, scholarly and convincing inter-
prefer of Hamlet "Richelieu,
The Bells" Monsieur Beaucaire,'
THE Last of His Race" and similar
DEMONSTRATIONS which appeal to a
refined mentality.
The Denver Times says of his
present vehicle, in which he comes
to the Temple theater:
THE Tabor had two crowded
houses yesterday to see Creston
Clarke in new play called The
Power That Governs 1t was writ
ten by Adelaide Prince, herself a
player of some distinction and also
the wife of Mr.. Clarke.
1T is a play of considerable inter
est. The opening act suggests The
Great Divide and the last two are
favored with the atmosphere of The
Lion and the Mouse In other words
it opens with passionate melodrama
and ends with society comedy. The
dialogue Is fluent and the situations
are vivid and create applause. The
first scene, the interior of shack
on the Sierra Madre, with the brill
liant atmospheric coloring of Mexi
co pouring in through the open win
dow, is attractive, and when just
before the curtain falls the young
heroine is rescued from a trio o.
blackguards it is thrilling-very.
"In all candor it must be said thai
Mr.. Clarke's new play is entertain
ing and virile, although we wish HI
could get another Monsieur Beau
caire,' with its romantic delicacy
charm and poetry. That play fittet
Creston Clarke to a nicely.
"The supporting company is quite
good. 1t includes Atkins Lawrence
the white-haired veteran, who play'
a sort of John Ryder, and Mr.
Lawrence's child-wife, Virginia, wit
is the Dorothy of the opening ac1
and gives the part a certain adde's
cent grace"

Ak1v York Daily
lvEushion Hints

NEW YORK, April 14.-The
mushroom hat has proved SO becom.
ing that it will doubtless remain \
popular style through the season.
The brims turn down all the way
around, but are a trifle wider than
before. Some are wider on one side
than on the other, and others come
a very little broader In back than
in front, but the exaggerated shapes
are not so much worn. Usually the
crowns are completely covered with
flowers or on some straws fringed
silk or soft plumes are used. AL
though the toQue is not favored by
the French milliner for general
wear, still they are shown in the
fashionable houses in great numbers.
They are made of fancy straw and
trimmed with silk. velvet and soft
dropping plumes. according to the
shape of the toque. The sole trim-
ming on some is velvet and bis
handsome buckle.
NEW YORK. April 15.-There are
many noticeable changes in the
walking spirit of this season. The
two new models are the circular and
gored skirts, still the plated ones
have not entirely left the field. and
there are some of the fashionable set
who are now wearing them. The
exaggerated short skirts are no more
to be worn, for the new walking
skirts all reach to the ankles, which
is a more sensible fashion. They
must fit smoothly and closely around
the hips, and yet they cannot follow
the lines beyond certain point. The
circular skirts with the inverted
box plat in the middle front and
back have some narrow fiat trim
ming around the foot which IS very
inconspicuous and all other orna-
mentation is put on the coat and
blouse. A popular design of trim
ming is button-trimmed tabs meet
ing in chevron shape along the
seams. 1t is safe to say that buttons
are really fashionable trimming on
this seasons skirts. The two bands,
when used on the walking skirts end
at either side of the front breadth
and are rounded and finished with
buttons. In place OF the one deep
fold is one OF practically the same
width, but set on in tunic fashion.
pointed downward back and front.
These angles are generally hard to
get perfect and to avoid being unbe-
coming this fold Is in most cases
ended at the sides of the front
breadth. thus leaving the front skirt
length unbroken.
