He had previously purchased con- trol in the Union Pacific and at the time of his entering the Baltimore end Ohio was negotiating for direct line west of Salt Lake.
 The Southern Pacific had been bought, too. at that time. but 1t was in an un- developed state, and Hartman concen- trated his energies and ambitions on uni- flying the Union Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio and the other lines necessary for a coast to coast railroad.
 Later, however MT. Hartman aban- doned his idea of the merger of the east and west lines, but directed all his atten- ton to the development of the roads pre- viously taken over
 It may have been that the continued threats of prosecution by the federal gov ernment or the uncertainty over the Northern Securities merger, or perhaps the opposition of the Pennsylvania rail- road, deterred him in his plan. At any rate, it did not materialize.

within five days, she will have to go
to Ludlow street Jail for contempt of

Strikes at Wealth
New British Budget
(special from United Presso

IOp6OIetI
London. April 30.-England is nearer
Socialism, to-day than at any other
time in her history, in the opinion of
those who have studied the financial
budget for the coming fiscal year, pre-
scented to the House of Commons yes
terday by Chancellor of the Exchequer
David Lloyds George. The more the
budget is considered the more it is
denounced by the conservatives as a
surrender to the Socialistic demands
of the Radicals and labor party. /
Whit the new budget will place
enormously increased taxes upon the
wealthy, the middle class is also hard
hit and the complaints from it are
loud. The increase in the whiskey tax
the income tax and the increased Sa-
loon taxes are sure to be opposed by
the middle class.

 kitchen door before us.
 The whole place was in darkness. and we crept about without making a sound. Only those who have en- deavored to break into a house at dead of night know how the heart
 thumps on such occasions. how breath less the moments are, and how ter Irible is the tension on both senses of sight and hearing. ~
 To use the iemmy upon the door would be to alarm the sleeping in-

 concerting thought occurred to me. A man like Rufford. knowing that he was
 wanted, would certainly never run the
 risk of being surprised by the police in his bed. He would surely have burglar alarms set always!
