RAILROAD ATTORNEYS MAY
MEET TO SCORE HARTMAN
Conference of Officers and Lobbyists
Expected in Springfield to OPP
pose Legislation

CHICAGO. April 6.-Unless all signs
fail, there will shortly be gathering
in Springfield of railroad attorneys
who have won their laurels as lobby
lists.
1t is not unlikely that the presidents
and directors of other railroads whose
tracks enter the city will privately
confer a few maledictions on the heads
of Messrs. Hartman and Harahan.
The cause is an amendment TO section
% of the cities and villages act, (which
will be introduced in the senate tomor
row at the instance of Mayor Busse as
a further move toward the electrified
ton of the Illinois Central suburban
service, which is now hanging fire.
The amendment reads:
And prescribe by ordinance the mo-
tive power by which cars or trains
may he operated within the limits Of
CITY or village, and change the same
whenever in their judgment such
change is necessary"
1t is said this step is the direct out
growth of Mr.. Harriman's suggestion
that the city pay half the expense of
the proposed Improvement.

that it would be "of unreasonable
value to the executive in the wise eX-
tension of our foreign markets and TO

would not live with Mrs. Sampson any
longer.

Sampson, testified that he found nc
powder marks thereupon. The ply

Mr.. Roosevelt is further quoted as
having said that the president of the
United States was more powerful than
any constitutional monarch of Europe.
He pointed out, the French correspon-

power to veto: that he appointed the
entire diplomatic corps and the high
governmental functionaries and that
he was a maker of treaties with only
the consent of those he chose as the

He said that for two years while

he had left behind an America where
the only king was the state.
