LovErr SUCCEEDS HARTMAN.
Man Chosen by Wizard" President
of Union Pacific.

New York. Oct. 22.-All doubt as to
Edward H. Hartman 5 successor was
set at rest today, when Robert S. Lovett
was elected president of the Union Pa
eifie road at the annual meeting Of the
directors. In connection with his elee
tion il was stated that he would soon
be elected president of the Southern
Pacific, of the Oregon Railroad Nayi-
CATION company and of the Oregon
Short Line.
The sole difference in future con-
ditions. compared with past conditions,
will be that Mr.. Lovett win devote his
entire attention and energy to the Har-
riman lines proper. The annual report
shows that. inasmuch as it discloses the
fact that the Union Pacific has sold its
stock holdings in several other railroads
for which Hartman was credited with
reaching out, il can be stated with Ger.
tainty that Mr.. Lovett was the man Sc
leeted by Hartman 10 succeed himself,
and that he is highly acceptable to the
officials of all lines. The officials, in
fact, many of the rank and file who
knew Mr. Lovett as a humble attorney
in Texas, regard him with the keenest
affection and respect.
The other men mentioned for the Har-
riman places. among whom were Edwin
s. Hawley, Messrs. Kruttschnitt and
Stubbs, John D. SpOor, president of the
Chicago Union Stoekyards company; L.
F. Loree and William Newman, were
never for a moment considered by the
board Messrs. Kruttschnitt and Stubs
knew before Hartman died who would
succeed him, and neither ever aspired to
the position.
More even than Hartman. Mr.. Low
EFT was familiar with the details of the
great system which the "Napoleon y
Of the railway world had builded. Bet.
Ter than any one else Mr.. Lovett knows
how TO carry on and to perpetuate the
system which made Hartman the rail
way king Of his time.
Mr.. Lovett viii also, as the meeting:
of the directors take place, be elected
president of the steamship companies
and other corporations at the head OF
which Hartman stood.

MALARIA RACES IN INDIA.
Death Rate Mounts High-Confsrence
to Be Held in SinIa.


Calcutta, Oct. 25.-An important
official conference will assemble at
Simla this month, charged with the
duty of examining the whole question
of malaria and drawing up q plan Of
campaign for the consideration of the
government of India and the local gov
ernments. This special inquiry has
been instituted by the governor general
IN council as the result Of a proposal
put forward by the sanitary commits
sioner that g permanent organization
should be formed TO investigate syste-
mstically the problem connected with
the disease. The official communique
on the subject points out tnat the num-
Der OF deaths ascribed to fever through
out India spproximates $500, 900, rep
resenting mean death rate OF nearly
20 per 600, and though this total is
greatly in excess OF the actual figure,
owing to the general practice Of ascrib-
ing to Clever" deaths which are in re-
aiity due to other causes, yet it has been
estimated, from indications afforded by
certain special inquiries and by the dis
pensary returns, that the actual death
rate from malarial fever is about per
!, 900. This represents about l, $780,
900 deaths, and as the mortality in
malarial fever is ordinarily low such q
death rate indicates terrible amount
Of sickness, much Of it preventable.

Firemen's Strike Serious.

Augusta, Ca, May 21.-The fire

than it was at this time last night.
White Fireman Sloan was forcfbly
elected from the Buckhead train at
Thomson, 40 miles out, tonight. The
passengers and mail laid over until
/ a. m. there and missed all connec-
tions. A freight loaded with perish
able goods is on the side track at
Lithonia, near Atlanta. Three fire
men have been sent to it and all have
failed the company and the armed
guards arrested for carrying weapons
concealed. The .Picayune, due here at
S:45 a. M, is still tied up at Camak.
Three trains are sidetracked at Deer
ing. A mixed train, two through
freights and two local freights are
tied up, at Union Point. United
States postal inspectors have reached
there to protect, the mails. One
through freight is tied up at Thomp-
son. At Thompson today an angry
crowd jerked the armed guard from
an engine, beat him and ordered him
back to Augusta. There is no train
moving on the Athens branch. The
sheriff of McDufie county and the

Anderson, May 21.-A sensation
was sprung in the court yesterday
afternoon, when Solicitor Bonham,
after hearing the testimony Of Mr.. J.
F. Rice, complainant in the case
against C. D. and Gertrude A. Pyle,
charged with obtaining goods by false
pretenses, told the witness to come
down from the stand and ordered a
verdict of not guilty. WELL" he
said, "you will have to come down,
Mr.. Rice, will have to direct ver-
dict of not guilty. cannot prosecute
this case in this court" The applause
that followed this statement by the
solicitor, shook the court room, and
was continued long and loud.
In the warrant against the Pyles it
was charged that they had borrowed
SIS from Mr.. Rice, who is a money
lender, on August 31st, 1907, and
were to have paid back S30.50. They
secured the amount by mortgage on
certain articles of furniture, etc., and
failed to make settlement. BY Mr..
Rice:s testimony it was shown that
the Pyles had borrowed s25, but had
in reality gotten only $40, the SIS
having been paid back to Mr.. Rice
for drawing certain papers. The
Pyles were represented by Messrs.
Paget and Watkins.
