LONDON, May lS.-The British war

the trouble lies In the food they eat

meat. cereals. fruits. potatoes and 9TH

frowned upon.
The circular 10 also a pronunciamen-

upon Its resisting powers by wearing
such garments" the circular says.
There can be no leveling up or the

Harriman's Officials Had His Fullest
Confidence.

Confidence.
San Francisco. Sept. 10.-"Edward
H. Hartman was the greatest rail-
road genius the country ever has
produced and personally he was a
1ovable character. He was little I'M
derstood by the public"
Such was the tribute paid by e. E.
Calvin, vice president and general
manager of the Southern Pacific.
Hartman was well loved by the
men who were associated with him as
his subordinates in the railroad
world Mr.. Calvin continued. HE
studied the characteristics of his
officials and when satisfied with them
they had his fullest confidence.
Because of Harriman's genius for
organization I think his death will
have comparatively little effect on
the carrying out Of plans for the i'm
provement of the roads under his
control All big undertakings in the
west mapped out by him were con-
sidered and planned in detail and I
believe they will be carried out by his
associates without interruption.

man, 1 have no official information.

WILL GO TO The PEOPLE
Taft Will Take Public Into His Con-
fidence on Tariff Matters.

Beverly, Sept. 10.-President Taft
has sent for Attorney General Wick
ersham to come to Beverly on Satur-
day to discuss several matters of i'm
portance.
1t is said Mr. Taft will take the peo-
pie into his confidence regarding the
recent tariff fight in congress during
his tour in the west.
It is further stated that the presi-
that beset him in dealing with the tar
iff situation and that he will put
squarely up to the people the question
of whether or not they desire a still
further revision. The president will
tell his hearers that the remedy for
any shortcoming in the bill will be to
elect people pledged to a revision
along the lines desired.
Reports regarding the presidents
intention say he will specifically take
up several of the most important
schedules dealt with in the fight for
revision. The wooden goods schedule
which was not touched in any way in
either branch of congress, will come
in for particular attention. Mr. Taft
has told a number of his callers both
here and in Washington that he was
not satisfied with the course congress-
and this will be one of the subjects on
which he will indicate to the people
that they can express their wishes
during the congressional campaign of
next fall.

department of the system; Julius
Kruttschnitt, who has supreme control
over the physical property and opera
ton, or j. C. Stubs, who has charge
of all traffic affairs, rates and the han
ding of the vast commerce annually
transported over the Hartman sys-
tenn.
Upon assuming the presidency of
practically all the corporations com
posing these two great systems. MT
Hartman was confronted with the
problem of designing an organization
that would economically and efficiently
supervise their operation without i'm
posing upon him any of the details.
This he did by creating two unique
positions in the railroad world-the
office of director of maintenance and
operation, held by julius Kruttschnitt,
and traffic director, held by John G.
Stubs. These two men, with offices
in Chicago, have been given complete
responsibility for the active manage
ment of the system just as If Hartman
had not existed, although reporting di-
rectly to him, and with complete
Jurisdiction over 1900 miles of rail
lines and $4,000 miles of water lines.
These men are still on the job and
Chicago railroad men believe the man
agement of the roads will go on just
the same no matter who is finally
chosen president at the annual meet
ing of the directors, unless the or
ganization is changed at that time.
