which his chair and the chairs Of his
party were stationed under the trees
outside OF the cottage. He declared he
did not know whether it is of Turkish
origin or domestic manufacture, but
he feared it would have to do. He
seemed to be amused because the rug
had been spread out on the ground.
When Robert Goelet rode in front of
q photographer who was trying to get
a snapshot of himself and portion
of his party, Mr.. Hartman called out:
Say, Robert, if you wish to have that
pony of yours photographed, you had
better get him around here a little
more in the rear"
With this obstacle automatically re-
moved by a command from the mag
nate, the photographer was enabled to
secure Mr.. Harriman's picture.
Mr.. Hartman is a man of much per-
sonal pride and while admitting he did
not get time to read much of the stuff
printed concerning him, said he did not
like to have hard things said of him,
as 1t was read by others.
Mrs. Hartman and the greater por-
ton OF the party will return to the
east the latter part of the week. Mr..
Hartman undoubtedly will remain in
Pasadena three weeks. After his stay
here he will return to New York by
the way of San Francisco.

COOPER'S TRIAL
MAY END TODAY
BOTH SIDES CONCLUDE ARGU-
MEnTS TODAY
JUDGE EXPECTS TO COMPLETE
CHARGE QUICKLY
Attorney General McCarn Maintains
Former Senator Carmack Was
Shot In the Back-De-
nounces slayers
LBy Associated Press.l

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 15.--The
case of Col. ID. b. Cooper, Robin j.
Cooper and John ID. sharpe, charged
with having murdered u. w. Carmack'
probably Will go to the jury tomorrow.
Judge Hart announced today, hIler
the close of arguments, that he hoped
to have his charge to the jury ready
by that time.
Attorney General McCarn finished his
closing argument in the Cooper
Sharpe murder trial as court was ad-
journed.
'At the time of adjournment had
shown you by physical facts that Sen
ator Carmack had been shot in the
back" said Attorney McCarn today
Don't forget that. He was shot in
the baclx-he was shot from behind
from the back.
They ask US for our tneory Wel'
gentlemen, my theory is that the bull
let which came out of Carmacks
mouth entered the back. No, gentle
men. these men are not only assassins
of Carmack, but they are cowardly as
sassins OF facts.
"cowardIy Assassins"
doctors tell you Carmack could not
do anything after he was shot in the
back-do you know, l think that IS
why they shot him from behind?
";rhe law of reasonable doubt Is a
good law. II you have doubt or their
SuIlt. / tell you. as the counsel on the
other side have, turn these men loose;
but If you believe that it Is against
the law of Tennessee to go up behind
a man and kill him because he wrote
a few bantering editorials, then ask
you to say so by your verdict.
I'VE have in the office here thousands
of blank murder indictments. We ex-
pect TO fill them out, and they WILL be
filled out much faster IL you decide
that man can be licensed to go out
on the street and kill"
When Attorney General McCarn had
concluded, General Garner arose 10
saw he did not accuse General Meeks
of counsel for defense of wilfully falsi-
flying the record.

HARTMAN SPECIAL
MAKES SENSATION IN
MAZATLAN DISTRICT
NATIVES SWARM ABOARD IN
AWE-STRUCK WONDER
Maqnate Finds Intruder Vainly En-
deavoring to Solve Mystery Of
Mirror and Presents Him
with Specimen

The Hartman special, consisting OF
seven coaches, is the first train to nave
gone over the Cananea, Yaqui River q
Pacific road as far as the line is fin
ished. The special made the run down
into Mexico with the Hartman party
several days ago on the trip to the
coast. 1t was the first regular train
that the natives had ever set eyes on,
and they swarmed through the coaches
of the Goelets and Kruttschnitts and
even into the private cars of Hartman
himself. Here for the first time some
of the natives laid eyes on the looking
glass.
1t was just little south of Mazatlan,
where the road comes to an abrupt
stop. that the natives were the most
curious. Hundreds turned out to greet
the special. They brushed past the
porters and made direct for the
coaches.
Coming into one of his private cars.
Mr.. Hartman, it is said, found ma
tive picking savagely around the
edges of a French bevel wall mirror,
irving to find his counterpart which
was reflected in the glass. SO much
did the incident amuse Mr.. Hartman
that he is said to have gone into the
Goelet car and brought out Robert
Goelet's shaving mirror which he pre-
scented to the visitor.

have to see Mr.. Spreckels. At any rate
this is not the time to talk about
future lines.
GAS soon as an amendment is passed
giving to the interstate commerce COM
mission power to allow railroads to en-
ter into q mutual agreement-that is,
permitting the stronger roads of the
country to extend their credit and pro-
lection over the weaker roads--just so
soon will the long contemplated i'm
provements decided on prior to the
late financial depression be taken up
and rushed through to completion.
"This means, of course, the expendi-
ture of a great amount of money, and
eventually, 1 believe, it will result in
lettering the conditions of the country
generally.
"At the present time there is a clause
in the law which prohibits one road
having any control over parallel or
competing line. This is what we. want
changed. 1t is a question of the weaker
being protected by the stronger. Ii
the stronger are allowed to come to the
aid of the weaker roads there Will be q
marked betterment of conditions all
along the line 1t will result in giving
employment to thousands of men and
the opening of many new lines.
I'VE feel hopeful President Taft will
appreciate this state of affairs. We
are depending a great deal on the
new administration"
In speaking OF his half ownership in
the Pacific Electric, Mr.. Hartman
said:
Mr.. Hartman has a keen sense of
humor. In welcoming the reporters
who called to see him, the magnate
apologized for a rather worn rug on
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-16

Kruttschnitt meditatively shook his
head as would a general who was con-
templating the future Of q conquered
empire, but he made no reply.
1t is evident that Mr.. Hartman is
fully aware that, figuratively speak
ing, the great west is his.
When informed it had been rumored
persistently that H. E. Huntington
was about to retire and that he, Mr.
Hartman, intended to take over in
their entirety the interests of the local
magnate, Mr.. Hartman refused to re-
ply directly to a question as to the
accuracy of such a report, but sug-
gested his interrogation see Mr.. Hunt
ington personally.
Mr.. Hartman is one of the most in
teresting types of men in the public
eye today. A short talk and visit with
him makes 1t easy to see the reason
of the permanency of his greatness as
q f1nancler. His conversation con-
vinces one he realizes more than ever
the relative value of things. He Is
not faddist and he knows today just
how far a dollar will go as well as he
did before he became a master of
high finance. He is moderate in his
living, although he denies himself and
his family nothing. He enjoys all the
comforts of life. without indulging in
extreme extravagant luxuries.
Denies Conference Intended
Mr.. Hartman denied he is here for
the purpose of holding a conference
and when reminded of the fact that
a score of the most prominent rail-
road men had assembled here in the
last two days he declared they are
merely friends of Kruttschnitt, who
wished to meet their old chief. He
says he is seeking rest and quiet and
will forget business for the two or
three weeks he contemplates remaining
in this section of the state.
A direct wire with New York has
been established in the cottage occu-
pied by Mr.. Hartman, which is sit
uated on the grounds of the Hotel
Raymond, but the magnate declared
he had not given instructions for
private Geographic connections.

GRANTING OF INTERVIEWS

Eliminating the men who are inter-
ested financially in the Hartman I'M
dertakings, the closest man to the
great magnate is Thomas Price, his
private secretary, he being the one
who either blocks or paves the way to
the financier's presence.
While Mr.. Hartman is democratic
in his habits. it is impossible for a
stranger to get to him unless matters
are first arranged through Mr.. Price.
The latter believes in diplomacy rather
than snobbery, and has made hosts OF

advice of Walter Parker, Mr.. Harri-

HARTMAN HOPES
TO COMBINE ALL
ROADS INTO ONE
RAILWAY MAGNATE EXPECTS
AID OF GOVERNMENT
SAYS STRONGER LINES SHOULD
ABSORB WEAKER ONES
Noted FinancIer Will Not Discuss
Local Politics and Declares He
is Not Walter Parker's
Keeper

TDWARD H. HARTMAN believes
h there are still problems in rail-
IL reading for him to solve. After
an extensive search the transportation
king has detected there remain in the
United States a few little railway sys-
TENS which he does not control with
the good will of the new administra-
ton, however, Mr.. Hartman hopes 10
possess soon a controlling interest In
each of these lines.
When the government makes 1t pos
sible for him to get hold of these Few
scattered roads, as he hopes it will, the
magnate plans to incorporate them To-
eether into one great combination.
Before his hopes are realized, however,
it will be necessary for him 10 secure
the consent of the SiXty-tirst congress,
now in session. He does not expect
any effective obstruction from the ma
TONS executive. In fact, Mr.. Harrl-
man expresses the belief that Presi-
dent Taft will be more likely to iend
his aid than to attempt to deter MIN
from carrying out his plans. He feels
the larger and stronger roads should
be allowed to take over the weaker
lines and extend to them their credit
and protection.
At the present time there is a clause
In the law governing railroads which
prohibits one road having control over
a parallel or competing line. If the
government will come to his aid and
make an amendment to this law, Mr..
Hartman declares the long contem-
plated improvements planned >by him
will be taken up and rushed to COM
pletion. He states that under one,
gigantic combine the public could Sc
cure a maximum of service at mini
mum cost. These minor systems could
be provided with new rolling stock, and
their condition in many other ways
could be bettered and improved, &C
cording to Mr.. Hartman.
Seeks Southern Entrance
Another project that Mr.. Hartman
is fostering is transcontinental en-
trance into Los Angeles, south of ex-
listing lines. While not admitting he
is interested in such q project, the mag
nate did not deny his connections with
the scheme to bring his southern road
into Los Angeles through Yuma or
San Diego. In fact, his demeanor
when asked this question was an abb
solute admission of his future tnten-
lions. When his interrogation put the
question to him Mr.. Hartman turned
to julius Kruttschnitt, his right hand
man, and laughingly remarked:
