piece of detective work Sheriff A. B.
Hazen of this city has arrested
George Washington Martin, wanted
in Douglas county since 1904 on a
charge Of horse stealing. Sheriff

INTEREST
IN HARTMAN WILL
Railroad Securities Will
Be Held in Trust.

New York, Sept. 15.-The will of
Pr. H. Hartman will be filed this
week, according to Robert S. Lovett,
who has been elected chairman of the
Union Pacific executive committee to
succeed Mr.. Hartman in the admin
istration of the vast Hartman rail-
road interests.
Mr.. Lovett, who was believed to
have been closer to Mr.. Hartman
than any other man, would not dis
cuss the contents of the will, but said
it had been drawn by Charles A. Pea
body, president of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, and that it was
in his possession. This will, which is
perhaps exciting more interest than
any similar document in many years,
will probably be filed for probate at
Goshen, the county seat of Orange
county, which includes the large Har-
riman estate at Arden. For legal pur-
poses a copy may be entered in the
courts in this city and it is under
stood that the first announcement of
the Wills details will be made in this
city.
Among MIR. Harriman's intimate
friends the belief prevailed that the
enormous Hartman railroad holdings
are not to be divided for a long period
and that the will creates a trust for
their administration, the income going
to the heirs.
1t is also said that while the rail
road and commercial interests win be
held intact through a trusteeship the
will gives to Mrs. Hartman the mag
nificent estate at Arden and also the
town house in Fifth avenue.

Dumont with his remarkable perform.
ance here, when he fed in an aero.
plane at II speed of about ,hirty-fve
miles an hour, mas attracted much at.
tention on account of the diminutive
size of the machine. The aeroplane
of Santos-Dumont weighs, together
with the pilot, only 11S Kilograms
(229.6 %pounds). 1t has nine square
yards Of surface, as against twenty
two square yards in the Curtiss aero.
plane, t~wenty-six in the Bleriot and
fifty-three in the Wright machines. A
two-cylinder motor developed thirty
horsepower and ran at the rate of
1900 revolutions a minute. The most
striking feature in the appearance OF
this aeroplane is the short and broad
wing, tilted at a high angle. It has
nc tail and its general appearance is
that of a quail.

MOTIVE REMAINS A MYSTERY
No Explanation Of Shooting Of Chill
dren at Utica, N. Y.

Utica, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Although a
reward of $500 has been offered for
information that will lead to the ar
rest Of the murderer of Theresa Pro
copio, seven years old, and Ferdinand
Infusino, aged two and one-half years.
the police are still without a clue.
Fanny lnfusino. the siX-year-old sister
of the little boy, who was shot in the
arm, is feverish and so weak from
the loss of blood that 1t has been I'M
possible to question her closely and
even were she able to talk it is doubt
full whether she could give a reOo9-
niZable description Of the man who,
In a culvert under Eagle street, shot
her and her two little companions.
The motive for the triple crime re-
mains unsolved, as the parents Of the
children say they know of no enemies
who might have sought revenge and
that they have had no letters from the
Black Hand demanding money.

BRYAN BITTER
IN HIS CRITICISM
Denounces Men Who Violate
+ Party Pledges.
"EMBEzzLERS OF POWER"

to Repudiate a Platform, but 1t
Should Be Done Before Election.
Democratic Declaration at the Com
Ing Election, He Says, Must Be spe.
cific and Emphatic.
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 15.-Denouncing
as an embezzler of power the man
who would violate Il party pledge,
ratified by the voters of his party,
William j. Bryan, before a large audi
ence in Bush temple, discussed the
tariff. While not denying to a candi-
date the right to %repudiate a part of
a platform such reputation, Mr.. Bry-
an asserted, should come before the
election.
"Cannonism" Mr.. Bryan described
as despotisnl and he suggested an
amendment to the rules of the house
Of representatives to correct what he
considered faults.
Mr.. Bryan's subject was "Democ-
racy and the Tariff" He emphasized
the necessity of senators and cor
gressmen being bound by party plat
forms, saying he would later suggest
a form for such a plan.
eff all of the Democrats in the sem
ate and house had voted against every
proposed increase in the tariff and for
every proposed decrease we might
have made IL fight next year upon
the party's record without making a
specific declaration on items of sched-
ules," said Mr.. Bryan, "but in view of
the fact that Democrats in both the
senate and the house differed as to
the Interpretation of the Democratic
platform and as to the rates that
should be imposed under the various
schedules I believe that it is neces-
.sary for u platform to be specific
and emphatic. If we expect to ecure
control OF congress we must convince
the public that we will, If entrusted
with power, favor. material reduc-
tions."
Mr.. Bryan concluded his address
with an extended argument in favor Of
free raw material.
