The arrangement of
our office, it's mechan-
ical equipment, and,
above all, the unusual
proficiency of our
dentists, together with
an unstinted supply
of the best and high
est priced materials,
are items in the man
agement of the Union
Dentists not to be
lightly overlooked.
Absolutely no bet
ter dentistry can be
produced than you
will get in our office,

LATEST RAILROAD DEAL
Much Speculation as to Financing OF
Missouri, Kansas and Texas

One of the questions that was ask
ed after the announcement was made
of the presumptive or actual transfer
of the control Of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas railroad to interests
identified with Edwin Hawley was
whether the recently reported advent
of former Governor Myron Herrick
and his syndicate into the Wall street
district, whereby control was secured
of one of the old and conservative
banks, may not in some way reflect
the very large financing necessary for
the transfer of this great Southwes-
tern system says special to the Phil
adelphia Ledger
Ex-Governor Herrick has been as
ISOLATED very closely with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas system and
is presumed TO have had in the past
close business relations with James
Speyer 1t almost always happens
that after the return of Mr.. Speyer
from his summer excursions to Eur
ope there come announcements Of
very important financing, so it is now
inevitable that there should be the
inference that he also persuaded
some of the foreign stockholders of
the Missouri. Kansas and Texas that
IL would be eXpedient if they were to
facilitate such transfer of authority
as would bring this great system
within the sponsoring administering
of the Rock Island system and of Ed
win Hawley
However. this is no more than
mere surface gossip following what
some still claim is a premature an
nouncement OF the transfer of the
property Probably the most impor
tant feature OF this transfer if it has
really been accomplished, was the de-
monstration again made that Mr.
Hawley is able to command other in
fluences in the world OF finance than
those associated with the estate Of
c. T. Huntington. He seems now to
have demonstrated his ability as
railroad constructive genius.
One of the reports announces that
Jacob Schim is the direct successor
of Mr.. Hartman in the Union Pacific
board Another insists that this dis
tinction goes to Henry w. DeForrest.
If sentimental reasons prevailed, UNI
doubtedly Mr. De Forrest is entitled
to that honor.
Mr. Hartman had the highest es-
TEEN for him He is one of those men
who has fame but no notoriety. He
is a lawyer less in the public eve
than his brother, Robert Weeks De
Forrest, both of whom gained their
first and afterwards their intimate
knowledge of railway affairs through
their long-maintained relations as
counsel for the Central railroad of
New Jersey. And if it be said that
Robert w. De Forrest is a man of
ideal citizenship and character this
description fits as admirably his
brother and law partner.

and women who gathered there today
at the opening of the fifth annual con-
ference of the national child labor
committee. Sitting side by side in
the assemblage were statesmen, phil

idea of the conference. Such bu- |
reau, it is proposed, should investigate |
and report upon all matters pertaining |
to the welfare of children and child |
life and would especially investigate
questions of infant mortality, the birth
rate, orphanage, physical democracy,
juvenile delinquency and juvenile
courts, desertion and illegitimacy, en-
ployment, dangerous occupation, acct
dents and diseases of children of the
industrial classes, legislation affecting
children in the various states and ter
ritories and such other facts as have Il
a bearing upon the health, efficiency,
character and training of children.
One of the features of the confer
ence will be paper by DR.. Thomas A.
Rotch of Boston on the chronologic
and anatomic age in connection with
the Roentgen ray. Dr. Rotch is re-
garded as the leading American au-
thority on children, and he will show
that laws designed to protect children
should take into account the anatomic
age rather than the chronologic age.
