$4,000 Loan Of Mayors Was
"Artistic Debt" Repaid

Lack of Appreciation in

DUN MARRIED CAREER.

Mary Garden gave voice to-day to her
Indignation regarding Mrs. David Mayer,
Of Chicago, wife OF the retired dry
goods merchant, who In the language Of
places where the artistic temperament
prevails less than Il does in Miss Gar
denis apartments, grub staked" the
prima donna during her early days as a
singer.
Garden was persuaded to speak at all.
Temperament was getting in the way
all the time. Mr. William Guard, the
representative OF Oscar Hammerstein,
forbade all reporters approaching Miss
Garden to-day at all, She was all keyed
up. he said, for her farewell to the New
York public tonight, when she will sing
salome for the last time this season.
Miss Mary Garden refused to see any
callers at her apartments In the Lorel-
Is, at No. s. East Sixty-fifth street. Her
sister Amy came to the door and said,
in great trepidation. that she hoped no.
body would try to speak to Miss Garden
about those horrid Mayer people, for
she did not want her feelings disturbed
before her performance. The slightest
Jar might throw her out altogether. and
the occasion was one that must suffer
no chance Of such a catastrophe.
Would Talk Only by Phone.
A reporter for The Evening World
then called up Miss Gardens apartments
on the telephone, and asked II she
wouldn't change her mind, Sister Amy
came to the telephone and said that. so
long as Miss Garden did not have to
speak to a stranger, face to face, there
were a few things she would like to say
to the newspapers about those Mayors.
II the reporter would dictate his ques-
tions, they would be read to the singer
and her replies would be transmitted
back over the telephone.
Yes" said Sister Amy over the tele-
phone, Miss Garden SAYS she has read
the statements Of the Mayors that her
conduct has been ungrateful and inhu-
man. As to that she has only this TO
say:
Miss Garden felt that she owed an
artistic debt to the Mayors, She felt
that she repaid this debt by the devel.
opment Of her art, and in full, and that
the Mayors should have appreciated the
magnificent return made to them In that
way.
But Miss Garden found they felt that
she still owed them material and mer-
cenary debt. She at once paid It, and
gladly, because she did not want her
artistic temperament deranged and irri-
tated by such unpleasant matters as
money squabbles."
Was the money paid with INTEREST,"
asked the reporter,
Long pause. Sister Amy returned
rather out OF breath.
Miss Garden says she said, thai
the repayment Of money involved in al
| investment which has brought a grea
great artistic return is always paid Will
interest"
Does Miss Garden think the Mayors
are justified in calling her inhuman and
ungrateful?"
Miss Garden says" came the an.
swer. after the customary pause, pre-.
sumably while a dainty hand was held

YOUNG NEW ORLEANS MAN
STARTS AS RAILROAD SEC
TON BOSS.
His Father at "a Began in the Same
Way and is Now Influential
in Railway Operations.

NEW ORLEANS, June A circu
lar issued by the superintendent of the
Shasta division of the Southern Pa
cific, news of which reached here to
day, discloses the interesting fact that
one Of the sons Of julius Kruttschnitt
of New Orleans, director of operation
and maintenance Of the Hartman sys
TEN, is trying 10 work his way up from
the bottom without the influence
which might be exerted in his behalf
The circular announces that T. H.
Kruttschnitt has been appointed as
sistant road master of the Siskiyou
district of the Shasta division of the
Southern Pacific at Weed, California.
The circular was the first informa-
ton, a dispatch from Chicago says,
that Director Kruttschnitt had of his
sons appointment. The headquarters
referred TO as a lumber town in the
heart Of the Siskiyou mountains.
The position which young Krutt.
schnitt, who is a graduate of Yale. has
accepted, is reported TO be so humble
that heretofore none but track labor.
ers had aspired to it. His duties will
consist of bossing a gang made up OF
Greeks, Italians and japanese. BY do
ing this rough work he hopes to Sc
cure a practical knowledge of track
construction, after which, it is under
stood, he will apply for admission tc
the students course of the Southern
Pacific, which requires forty-twC
months of strenuous work, including
working on a freight train.
Young Kruttschnitt was chair
man of the Democratic State Central
Committee of Louisiana.
The elder Kruttschnitt made his way
up to his present commanding posi-
ton in the Hartman system by dint
of hard work and thorough mastery
Of the details of railroad construction
and operation. He graduated as d
civil engineer from Washington anf
Lee in 1873 and when "a years old got
his first railroad position. He started
as an engineer on the extension Of
Morgan's Louisiana and Texas rail
road and then became road master oil
the Western division. His promotion
has been steady. but it has been due
entirely to the splendid ability and
efficiency he displayed in every pos
he was called on to fill.
Those who know young Kruttschit-
believe he will follow in his fathers
footsteps to high rank in the railroad
world.

TEXAS AND PACIFIC STRIKE.

ginemen have positively and definite
ly refused to sign the agreement ex-
tended by the Texas and Pacific and
General Manager Thorne has firmly
pointed out that it is up to the fire.
men to take or reject the contract
as he has said the last word. The
firemen have found in the contract
a new grievance. They desire a
clause specifying that the manage
ment of the road must promote fire
men to engines as rapidly as va
cancies occur. Mr.. Thorne has re-
iected the demand. stating it TO be
his policy to promote. but that he
will not be bound to it by any rule.
The Texas and Pacific has never
pursued a policy of promotion, and
| their engineers in consequence are
generally members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, with
few promoted members of the Broth
terhood of Locomotive Firemen
among them.
Tim Shea, First Vice President Of
the brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, still asserts that there is no
prospect of strike. and that he is
hopeful OF a settlement before many
