TAFT WILL URGE
POSTAL SAVINGS
PRESIDENT FAVORS POPULAR
BANK SCHEME
Declares Financiers Have No Quarrel
with Law and Believes Many
Would Patronize Enter
prise
tBy Associated Press.l

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 25.-Prest-
dent Taft indicated in talks with call
ers today that in his message to con-
gress next December he will strongly
urge the early establishment of postal
savings banks.
President Taft believes several hun
dred millions of dollars will be placed
at the governments disposal through
postal savings banks. 1t is suggested
that this money might we'll be employed
in taking up the 5000, 900 or 100000 out
standing government per cent bonds
which have given much concern to the
treasury department officials. Already
the bonds are selling below par, ana
there is fear of further depression.
The president believes the postal
banks would appeal to timid persons
who are afraid to trust ordinary banks
and who would rather get the small IN
terest the government would pay them
than place the money in the regular
savings banks.
BY placing the interest to be allowed
by the postal banks at less than 2
per cent Mr.. Taft is convinced that no
harm would be done to ordinary banks
of commerce, for discriminating per-
sons would not withdraw deposits
drawing high interest and place it un-
der government care at half the inter-
est offered by ordinary savings banks.
President TAFT expressed nlnselI DIS
unalterably opposed to a guaranty of
bank deposits. He declared he did not
believe in making one set of bankers
responsible for another set.
Tomorrow the president will confer
with Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
senate finance committee, and Secre-
tary MacVeagh. Postal banks will
have a share in the discussion.
President Taft had a long talk today

Three Lads Who Made Perilous Es-
cape from Camp on Catalina
Island Thought to Have
Perished in Sea

Not until the sea gives up its dead
and the last wave washes tho shore Of
eternity will be known the fate of
Willis Ernst, George P. Weaver and
Ramon Salazar, Whittier cadets who
escaped from Camp Banning, Catalina
island, August II, is the belief of fish
erman and seafaring men of Avalon
and San Pedro.
Ernst. Weaver and Salazar We're in
mates of the Whittier Reform school,
The second week in August they, with
a large number of fellow students, were
taken to Catalina island on the annual
outing of the Whittier cadets. Camp
Banning, as the cove in which they
make their summer home is known, is
fifteen miles as the crow flies from the
harbor of Avalon.
On the night of August II Willie
Ernst, II years old committed to
Whittier from Alameda county; George
P. Weaver 16 years old, committed
from Santa Clara county, and Ramon
Salazar, 16 years old, from Riverside
county, made up their minds that the
world was wide and large, and the
Camp Banning cove, with its environ
ments and the reform school in the
background, was too small for their
occupancy, and then and there they
plotted to escape.
Scale Sheer Cliffs
It was easy of accomplishment, this
getting. away from the reform school
camp. There was only some hundreds
of feet of cliff and bluff to scale; just
a few miles of goat trails to follow;
only a mile or two of ocean to swim,
and then freedom.
Freedom. That word meant all the
world to these boys, and they gave the
world for it. From Camp Banning they
crept up the side of a bluff hundreds
of feet high to a narrow trail that led

SPANISH GENERAL BEGINS
ADVANCE ALONG SEA FRONT
Troops Now Seem Glad That War Has
Begun and Are Encouraged by
Mobiles in Ranks

MELILLA, Aug. 25-EXpert opinion
has been justified as it has been found
impossible to cut the Marchica canal
under four months. General Marina,
commander OF the Spanish forces, to-
day commenced an advance along the
sea front in intense heat towards Res
tinga.
The men appear glad that the war
has begun. They are encouraged by
the presence of the duke of Saragossa
and the marquis of Vallecerrato, both
of whom are serving as privates. The
marquis of Vallecerrato came from
Cambridge university as a volunteer.

MAGNATE GETS FIRST
VIEW OF BIG DOMAIN
IBy Associated Press.l


ARDEN, N. Y, Aug. 25.-When e.
H. Hartman awoke this morning he,
for the first time, surveyed the match
less view of the Ramapo valley from
his magnificent new home perched on
a peak $500 feet above sea level. 1t
was dusk when he arrived last night,
electric lights were burning and he
could get no view of the thousands of
acres of mounted scenery which he
has acquired.
Although a small army of reporters
remained near the great stone mansion,
which is. the nucleus of a S2,000,0OO es-
tate, all night, the private electric
lighting plant was shut down soon af
ter 10 o'clock and darkness in Mr..
Harriman's suite of rooms indicated
that the financier and railroad mag
nate had retired.
No Official Statement
Efforts to obtain an official state
ment from Harriman's physician as
to his exact condition or his pros
poets of recovery have failed. DIR.
Lyle, the financier's chief physician,
stated that the family did not desire
him to make such a statement There
is little doubt, however, that financial
circles have been largely reassured by
Mr.. Harrimans buoyant spirits on his
arrival from Europe yesterday and by
his eagerness to talk with reporters
and by his frankness.
Mr.. Hartman would have talked
with the newspaper men all the way
from Jersey City to Arden in his pri-
Vate car had not his companions OBJ
jected. Even on reaching his country
estate he seemed eager to speak for
publication and the lightness of his
spirits had been diminished in no way
by the fatigue of the journey from
the ship.
The convalescence of the distin-
guished invalid is a matter of conjec-
ture. He had decided definitely to re-
main at his estate here until he has
fully recovered his normal strength,
which he admits is now at low ebb.
The magnifcence of thirty rooms,
which have been finished in the house,
which will contain more than one hun
dred. did not impress Mr.. Hartman as
strongly as did his private inclined
railway which is the only means of
reaching the house on the summit of
the mountain unless one attempts to
make the long and tiresome journey
by foot.
After leaving the railroad station
here, it is necessary to drive quite a
distance before coming to the outer
line of the Hartman estate.
Then it is necessary to traverse
fully five miles of private road be-
longing to Mr.. Hartman and access
to which is given only to those who
are invited
Then comes the inclined railway,
which is a large platform capable of
carrying automobiles and horses and
carriages up the steep mountain side.
1t is operated by cable from an cleo
trio power house, which also provides
the lighting for the estate and all the

Uneasiness Strongly Reflected by
Spectators in Business Trans
acted on Stock Exchange
Yesterday
Especial to The Herald. ]

M EW YORK, Aug. 25-Tonight at
his country estate near Arden,
~ Edward II. Hartman is resting
shielded from business cares, barred
from visitors.
While he was resting at his palatial
country home today there was a day
of intense excitement on the New York
stock exchange, and stocks at the close
of the market showed a decline of from
21a to points.
That was an Indication of how closely
the stock market has been watching
the man who is in control of the South
ern and Union Pacific systems and
practically dominates the railroad situ-
alton in the United states today.
Hartman disappeared from the pub
lie eye in a manner no less dramatic
than was his display Of grit upon his
arrival from Europe yesterday.
1t was announced at the Union Pa
cific offices that he was resting quietly
and by telephone to Arden it was
learned that there was no change in
his condition.
Uneasiness on Wall Street
Just as the country eagerly read the
cables from abroad concerning the
financier's health, and bought or sold
stocks accordingly, so 1t has gone on
since the brief glance at him yesterday.
Uneasiness was strongly reflected to-
day in the stock market.
With a weak opening Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, together with
New York Central-now classed as a
Hartman stock-underwent declines at
the outset under rather heavy selling
orders.
Firmness followed the first losses, but
it was only temporary and was fol-
lowed by even greater declines as trad
ing continued and by noon nearly all
active stocks were off from 21a to .
points.
Bear operators made capital of his
interview of yesterday, indicating that
improvements rather than dividends
would be his aim.
Substantial gains were recorded as
the afternoon wore on, but the pressure
on Hartman stocks made the close ir-
regular Trading was not i'm a remark
ably large volume, but at 2 o'clock
500, 900 shares had been sold.
With Mr.. Harriman's permanent re-
tirement from the active management
of his railroads, considered at least a
possibility, many pick Judge Robert s..
Lovett, general counsel for the Harrt-
man lines, as his successor. This is
mere gossip.
Judge Lovett is a native of San ia
cinto, Texas, where he was born forty
nine years ago. After entering the
railroad legal field in 1881 he became
general counsel for the Southern Pa
cific in Texas When Mr.. Hartman
took over the road he picked Judge
Lovett as a man of ability, and has
since advanced him rapidly.
