The news Of the death OF Hartman,
the greatest railroad organizer the
world has ever known, was received
here last Saturday evening. 1t created
no surprise, ~ everyone who reads
the daily papers had been expecting
such news for several days.

Illinois Central railroad and took
rank as star In the financial fir
manent.
He organized u sydicate which ac-
guired the Union Pacific railroad In

Hartman Is Said To Have Said

Speaking the panic of 1907 and the
promptness with which rehabi lita

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
 FOR THIS DEATH
Did Wayne Simpson Come to His Death I,y His Own or the the Negli- gencc of the Cotton Belt.

Little Rack. May 19.-In the United States Circuit Court this morning the case of j. $. Maberry. as administra- tor of Wayne Simpson. against the to trial before a jury. The amount in damages demanded is S25,0o0.
 Wayne Simpson. it is not denied, met death as the result of being run over by freight train in the yards at Humphrey on July 2S 1908. The plaintiff claims it was the fault of the company and the company claims Simpson was entirely to blame.
 The proof in the case so far shows that a freight train was blocking the crossing at Humphrey, and from that point the case is contested It is claimed by the plaintiff that Simpson was told by the conductor of the freight train that he would have plen- ty of time to pass between the cars. that he attempted to do as directed and before he could get lnfOuSn tue train it started up without warning and ran over him.
 The defense of the railroad company was not put on this morning. but from the questions asked it was clearly in- dicated that the company will under take to show that Simpson was drink ing very much, if not badly intoXicat- ed. The plaintiff objected to the ques- tions about the liquor. but Judge Trie- Der held the questions were compe- tent Witnesses have testified that Simpson had bottles of liquor in his hand, but all contend that he was not drunk or drinking to excess.

HOW PICTURE MA

The uses to which Motion Pictures may be put are many and varied. For
 educational purposes in schools they
 have assumed importance scarcely
 second to text books. In church
 work they have become factor, and
 in political campaigns and for ad-
 vertising schemes their value has long been recognized. They are also used for recruiting purposes in the Army

Now comes the newest and most important phase of all. The Motion Picture ;Patents Company has issued license to teh United States Navy to operate under it's patents, h making motion pictures of Battleships in action. The camera will be adjusted after the fashinon of the Compass. so that it will remain level in spite of the pitch ing and tossing of the ship.

defined to be any of the acts enumer

date or cadet who has been connected
with the Military Academy less than
one year of harassing, tyrannical
abusive, shameful, insulting or humili-
ating nature. or that may endanger the
physical well being of such candidate
or cadet
The word Hintent' in these regula
lions has been made much of by the
cadets since the rule went into force
For instance, before making a cadet
fill his pockets with ants, as several
were made to do last year, or asking
as was done this year, a Fplebe' to
represent Sysonbv. the famous horse,
in one of this years "horse races
or Hhorse auctions.'' the older cadets,
it is said. would ask question some
thing like this:
eff YOU are Sysonby, and so act, will
you feel Inundated or consider it in
compatible with the position Of a
cadet,'
The "plebe,' if he answered no,
would then hear something like:
"All right, Sysonby, you are off.
and off he was, as fast as he could
travel on all tours.
As for the members of the first class,
it is understood that their department
throughout the entire regrettable occur
repce has been in keeping with the dig

The National Guard is playing an
important part in the military maneuv-

The presence of the large bodies Of

pose some plan by which these various
interests, which have often conficted
IN authority in the past, may be con-
troIled for the greatest good of the ser
vice, not only in the matter of econo.
my, but in regard to military efficiency
as well.
The board consists of seven line of
ficers of the navy. Rear Admiral Viii
liam Swift, retired, is president of the
/ board, the other members being Capt
Sidney A. Stanton, Capt. Leavitt c.
Logan, Capt. G. E. Vreeland, Capt. f.
F. Fletcher, Commander Roy C. Smith
and Lieut.. Commander Chandler. Com
mander Poyer is recorder.
Secretary Meyer stated that this
board would not determine matters in
relation to the possible abandonment of
any navy yard. He said that such ques-
tons would be referred to a Joint board
of the Army and Navy, as questions of
military eXpediency.
Should the board now sitting in Bos-
ton decide that it would be wise to
abolish some of the bureaus of the Navy
Department, legislation would be re-
quired to give effect to such plan.
1t may, however, decide upon some
other method of coordinating work I'M
der which the several bureaus could be
operated with the efficiency of a single
organization, in which case the plan
to be proposed might not involve the
necessity for any legislation.
Hazing Punished.
Even the stringent laws passed by
Congress have not been sufficient to
deter some West Point cadets from
hazing. Cable dispatches received yes
terday state that seven men have been
expelled for indulging in this practise.
Determined TO put a stop to the
rushing of new cadets, the authori-
ties have drawn the line very fine. and
any suspicion of hazing has been
promptly investigated. Minor cases
have been punished by close arrest in
quarters, from periods of greater or
lesser duration. while the most fragrant
offenders have been sent to their homes.
Throughout the recent Investigations,
the frst-elass men maintained a very
dignifed attitude. Inquiries from
fourth-elass men as to how they should
answer questions put to them by mem
bers of the board of inquiry. met with
the response from them that the truth
must be told, though no cadet need

Pending the receipt of orders from
Washington regarding work ON the per-

ficers Of the construction department
are devoting their attention to the

1t is the intention to have everything
ready for business just as soon as
Washington gives the signal to go
ahead, and the constructing quarter
master and his assistants are not spend

order some change in the plans as now

viii doubtless stand as planned, and

Stiff Practise March.
There is nothing of tin soldering in
the practise march which Companies E
and G of the Twentieth United States
Infantry started on yesterday after
noon. Waianae gap was the objective
point of the soldiers, when they left
Fort Shafter.
Waianae gap furnishes an exceeding
~ good opportunity to test men out
under the conditions which they must
expect to find in actual warfare, and
the officers concluded to make the
march for the purpose Of ascertaining
Just how easily the passage through the
gap can be made.
The negotiating of the gap means the
lowering of wagons and other impedi-
menta by means of ropes, and is some
thing that tests rot only the ingenuity
Of the officers. but the endurance of the
men as well.
Settled Navy Policy.
The need of continuous policy in
the navy in order that the efficiency
of the service may not be interfered
with by a shifting of authority during
changing administrations is, according
to Secretary Meyer of the Navy De-
partment, the controlling reason for the
apnointment of the board now holding
sessions at the Boston navy yard. That
board has been given instructions by
the Secretary to coordinate the work
NOT only of the several navy yards, but
of all the bureaus of the Navy Depart
ment. The board is expected to pro-
