HARTMAN HAS
GONE TOO FAR

Riu Hartman is nearing the end
of his rope. After having been convict
ed three times in justice court on the
charge of disorderly conduct, and once
on the charge of being an habitual
6runkard. he is now in the county jail
awaiting his second hearing on the
latter charge. having been turned over
to the county authorities by the police
this morning, in accordance with the
provisions of the new criminal code.
According to the recent enactment,
man shall. after being convicted three
times of disorderly conduct, be
charged with being an habitual drunk
ard in case he persists in his carous-
ais. After three convictions on this
count. he is eligible to the vagrancy
class. for which three convictions shall
render him liable to a term in the
state penitentiary. In case Hartman
is convicted on the present charge, it
will be his second, and but one more
chance is left him, before he enters
the vagrancy category.
Hartman will probably be tried
early next week under the accumula-
tive sentence act.

BALLINGER
MUST HIKE

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 1.-"Ballinger
must CO. is the burden of an edito-
rial in Senator LaFollette's magazine
this week in which, regarding the sec
retary he says:
THE reclamation of the arid lands
of the west is one of the greatest of
the Roosevelt policies Not reclama-
ton by big business interests but by
the people In seven years the recla
nation service has reclaimed and
acres of heretofore arid lands. There
was no graft and no rakeoff for the
big business 1t is just the people re-
deeming the deserts for themselves
with their own capital.
"The president proclaims his loyalty
to the Roosevelt policies. We don't
question the presidents sincerity in
his repeated pledges. But we condemn
heartily those whose official conduct
places the president in constant ne
cessity of reassuring the people of his
loyalty othese policies.
Chief of these official malefactors
is Ballinger. While the president is
pledging his loyalty to the Roosevelt
policies, Ballinger is overturning them
whenever it is in his power. If Ballin-
ger will serve the interests let him
do it in private employment

country from the Gas Traction COM
pany of Minneapolis. The engine is
a mammoth affair with huge rear
wheels, and it weighs seven tons. Cap
able of pulling a 12-bOttom gang plOW,
ton will revolutionize present ideas OF
farming and because it is so well
adapted to this country, branch plant
has been established in Portland where
these machines will be manufactured.
The engine is capable of 80 h. p. and
is built on the principal of an automo-

one of the improvements over anything
of the kind ever built and when once in

of demonstrating it. the machine was

The speed that the engine can main

per day and all this can be done by
one man.
The engine will be taken to the local
fair grounds where it will be set up
and placed on exhibition.
Answering the question, Can it do
work on side hills a recent account
of the work it accomplished on the
Ladd farm in Oregon recently, proves
conclusively that it can. This article

("Lucky') Baldwin, the famous horse
man, who died near here, lay in state
in THE Cottage" on the Santa Anita
ranch yesterday after his body was
embalmed. 1t will be sent to San
Francisco tomorrow and the funeral
will take place in that city on Thurs
day. The final resting place will be in
San Francisco by the side o. his first
wife.
Lucky" Baldw1ns estate Is worth
$30,000000, according to statement
by his manager. A. H. Unruh. This is
the largest estate ever probated in
southern California.
Knowing that there would be an at
tempt to break any will that he might
make, Baldwin had his attorney Brad
ner w. Lee, draw document that
would be sure to meet every possible
legal requirement. This was executed
several months ago while the old mans
mind was still perfectly clear. Attor-
ney Lee declined to discuss the con
tents of the will He said, however,
that the document provided for an
equitable division of all property. From
one who has seen the will it is learned
that it allows Mrs. Baldwin more than
would be hers under court decision.
and provides for all of the legal heirs.
There is a blanket mortgage against
the estate for about $1,500,O00 held by
the Hibernian Savings bank of San
Francisco. This and minor incum
ORANGES are expected to reduce the
value of the estate to the heirs tC
about $2S,OOO,000.

Washington, Mar Appropriations
for the induction of William Howard

The work on the great court of
honor, one of the most beautiful
features of the Inauguration, received
it's finishing touches yesterday, and
this focal point of the national function
produces a color and decorative
scheme which is said to eclipse all
previous efforts in this direction.
The task of getting the pension Of
flee in readiness for the inaugural
ball will be finished tomorrow. The
beauty which will attend this bril-
liant social event will be unsurpassed,
the committee having spent 100000
for decorations alone.

arrived were augmented to-day by
many more thousands reaching the
city on every incoming train. There
was also an influx of many organiza
tons from different states.
