On Tuesday evening the Berean
class of the Baptist church was de-
Ilightfully entertained by Miss Leona
Cantrell at her home on Kaufman
street. Japanese lanterns illumin-
'ated the lawn, where the girls and
young men formed a merry group
and enjoyed several games and con
tests. The flower contest was very
unique and amusing and was fol-
lowed by an observation contest
which caused much interest and
laughter. The cards for these con-
tests had been painted by the hostess
in most appropriate designs, as were
also the invitations, and the minia-
ture japanese lanterns containing
funny fortunes, which were given
to each guest.
After having been served with de-
licious ice cream and cake, the guests
still fingered, regretting to put an
end to such a happy occasion

Losing $1,000 Worth
Of Gems

Chicago. Jan. 6.-The police are TO-
cay searching for a man and woman
who robbed George II. Hucharik. a
jcweler, OF S1,50O worth of gems by a
clever trick. Incidentally, az jewe;ers
are being warned of the ruse In an
effort 10 prevent it, repetition. The
woman, well-dressed anG apparently
well-to-do, entered the jewerry store
and asked 10 be shown some rings.
Kucharik laid several trays before
her. After looking at them she de-
clared that she did not like them and
walked further down the store looking
at other things.
The jeweler followed ner and did
not notice the approach OF man out
side. Suddenly there was a crash
as a brick was thrown through the
window and the man grabbed two
trays of Jewels and ran.
AS the jeweler started toward the
door the woman blocked his way and
fell into his arms in an apparent
faint.
While holding the woman the jew
eler saw the man with the Jewels dis
appear down the street.
In the excitement nat followed, the
woman recovered from her faint"
and slipped from the store.

DISSOL Wing OF THE MERGER
OF THE HARTMAN
RAILROADS
Edm aWIey Formerly Of the Union Pacific but Now Western Pacific
Director WitneSs-Union Pacific Could Have Been Injured
by Southern Pacific Prior to tiarrman' Purchase

New York. Jan. 6.-Edwin Hawley
OF THIS city, president of the Iowa
central Railway company and of the
minneapolis & St Louis Railway Co.
and director In several other roads.
including the Western Pacific. was
the first witness called by the gov.
ernment today in the hearing of the
action to dissolve the merger of the
Hartman railroads. Mr. Hawley said
he had been In the railroad business
forty years. becoming connected with
the Union Pacific In 1888.
Mr.. Hawley was questioned con-
corning trans-continental business of
the Union and Southern Pacific at the
time of the alleged merger.
Mr.. Hawley said that he was gen
eral eastern agent Of the Southern
Pacific at first and that he had juris-
dlction over the Morgan line of steam
ers, which was used as a part OF the
Sunset Route. Competition among the
rival railroad companies before the
formation Of the merger he said, was
general. He declared that he always
opposed the consolidation of the COM
mercial agencies OF the Union Pacific
L
On cross-examina,Ion, counsel for
the railroads asked Mr. Hawley If 1t
were not absolutely necessary for the
Union Pacific TO use the Southern Pa
c,fic line in transcontinental traffic.
MIR. Hawley replied that the Union Pa
cific did use 1t. The witness said
that it was quite possible that if the
Union Pacific attempted to force an
issue with the Southern Pacific, the
latter road could divert its traffic at
Ogden to the Denver e Rio Grande.
In It's southern traffic, he said, the
Union Pacific has always been oblig-
ed to use the Atchison, Southern Pa
cific or the Texas Pacific.
In reply 10 questions as TO whether
the Southern Pacific was not dom
inant factor In trans-continental traf-
iic and practically had controlled the
rates. the witness said that the South
ern Pacific was an important factor
and that even freight shipped entirely
by way of the Texas Pacific or Union
Pacific had to be turned over to the
Southern Pacific at the terminals.
He denied that specific agreements
as to rates had been made prior to
the merger, but said there had been
discussions as to the dicision of rates
between the various roads other than
which IL passed. The witness said
that freight could be shipped from
Now York to San Francisco by an
all-rail route which would avoid the
use OF the Morgan line Of steamers
from New York to New Orleans. The
Canadian Pacific tried that. he said,
some years ago.
Separate agencies were maintained
by the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ciflc, he said. in New York, Boston
and Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hawley said that the Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific. and Oregon
Short Line were included in an agree
ment or pool that existed for trans
continental rates a few years ago.

signs OF WEAKNESS and a sleepless

Mrs. Hams about Annis, I don't want

Thornton Hams declared that he

us It fact that when the captain
was In the Philippines. you called up
on Mrs. Hams and said TO her. My
God you look sweet and grabbed her
by the arm?'

I'm a prisoner here ="
Mr. Mcintyre interrupted and said
that il the district attorney would
agree TO call Mrs. Claudia Hams he
would have no objection to the line
OF testimony. Hams. however, de-
clared that II was not true.
The district attorney asked the wit
ness If he had not said to Mrs Hams
that he would like to kiss her II she
were not his brothers wife. The de-
