HE WON'T RETIRE.
No Foundation for Rumors That He
Will Quit Active Work.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 1S.-The
statements attributed to E. H. Har-
riman at Pasadena last night r2Sard-
ing the present state of his health and
the possibility of his retirement from
active life as published here this
morning, appear to have been some
what at variance with the intended
meaning of Mr.. Harriman's remarks
on the subject Mr.. Hartman in his
statement went far as to say only
that he knew that sooner or later the
heavy burden OF responsibility that
had rested upon his shoulders would
have to be shifted to younger ones
There was no hint, however, of any
possibility of retirement in the near
future.
DR.. George A. Dixon, private physi-
clan to Mr.. Hartman, is quoted as
saying that the latter's health has not
been better in years and that the pres
ent trip has greatly helped his con-
dition.
DIR. Dixon's full statement was as
follows: u aa
"Mr. Hartman has not been in bet
ter health in years. He has steadily
bettered hfs condition on the trip. He
is not only fully capable of continu
ing his strenuous labor, but also, am
certain. intends to do So.
Later, Mr.. Hartman himself said:
There is absolutely no foundation
for any assertion that 1 intend to re-
tire from active business

KING SAW HIM FLY.
Edward Witnessed an Exhibition
Given by Wilbur Wright.

Pau, France. March 1S.-King Ed
ward witnessed two flights by Wilbur
Wright yesterday afternoon and show
ed an equal amount of enthusiasm with
the other spectators in the remarkable
accomplishment of the American aero
pianist.
The sky was unclouded and there
was very little breeze. Wilbur and Or
vile Wright and their sister, Miss
Wright, were presented to his majesty
Wilbur Wright then conducted the
king to the aeroplane shed, where the
latter minutely examined the mechan-
ism of the machine which was deco
rated with American, British and
French flags. His majesty watched the
preparations for the ascent with the
greatest interest, taking a position with
a group for photograph. Wright
made the first ascension alone He re-
manned in the air for seven minutes,
performing marvellous evolutions with
the utmost precision and coming to the
ground without difficulty. On the sec
ond flight Miss Wright was passen-
ger. They scared to a great height and
then SKINNED along the ground and
disappeared in the direction of Pau.
They reappeared after interval of
six minutes, descending amid applause
from the king and other visitors. His
majesty warmly congratulated Mr..
Wright on his success.

WILL SHAVE HIMSELF.
Roosevelt Is Now Practicing Daily
With Razor.

Oyster Bay. n. J., March 1s.-Ex-
President Roosevelt, will be mis- own
barber in Africa during the year he
will spend there at the head of the
Roosevelt-Smithson African expe-
dition. He does not intend to grow a
full beard as has been reported and pic
tured recently. The ex-president has
purchased a dozen sticks of shaving
soap at a village drug store and has
been practicing the use of a razor
since leaving Washing gton.
At first ii was rather difficult for
Mr.. Roosevelt to manipulate the razor
because during his seven years occu-
pancy of the White House he has been
shaved daily at his office there, by a
negro barber who was employed on
the executive office staff.
Hun dreds of offers of all kinds of
articles for use on his African hunt
have come to Mr.. Roosevelt, but he
has consistently refused to accept any
of them. Fire arms of all kinds, cart
ridges, camping outfit articles and ev-
cry imaginable thing he might need
has been offered to him mostly by
manufacturers and dealers who de-
sired to use his name for advertising
purposes

PICTURE MEN LOSE.
Representation of Plays Is a Violation
of Copyright Law.

Washington, March 1S.-The United
States circuit court of appeals has
ruled that a moving picture is stage
representation" within the meaning
of that term in the copyright law. The
question arose in a suit brought by
Harper & Brothers and klaw &
Erlanger against the Ka1em company
to enjoin them from producing exhibit
tions of 'Ben Hur.''
The film manufacturers urged that
the representation was only an
exhibition of pictures and not
dramatic performance within the
of the copyright law. The
courts decision holds that in order to
produce a moving picture it is neces-
sary to prepare a synopsis or story
which is in effect a dramatization and
that the author alone has the right
to make or authorize a dramatiZation.

MODJESKA IS ILL.
Suffering From Kidney, Heart and
Lung Trouble.

Los Angeles, March 1S.-Madame
Helena Modjeska, the famous Polish
American actress, is seriously i'll at
her home on Bay island near New
port Orange county. Madame
Modjeska's husband, Count Bozenta, is
in constant attendance at his wife's s
bedside.
The veteran actress has been suffer-
ing for a long time from chronic kid
ney trouble but her ailment has been
newly complicated by an affection of
heart and lungs.
Nine. Modjeska was born near Cra-
COW, Poland in 1914 and was married
to Count Charles Bozenta Chlapowski
in 1868. She made her first public
appearance in Poland in 1851.
No immediate alarm is felt over the
condition of Nine. Modjeska. al
though her advanced age renders her
more serious.
