LITTLE KING IF THE RAIL
 LOOKS SICK
Hartman, However, Declares He is Much lmproved-.s En Route to Mexico in Quest of Rest

FL PASO. March 5.-E H.. Harri- man. the Napoleon of American rail roads and accredited president of Mir ROosevelt's Ananias club, has arrived
 in Fl Paso from the east on his way to Tucson and other Arizona points and later to Mexico. Looking decid- edly i'll and giving eyasiVe answers to questions put to him by a newspa- per man, the magnate stood for half hour on the platform of the union de- pot talking to prominent. Fl Paso rail road men and others and later came up town.
 That Mir. Hartman Is contemplat- ing any extensions in the Mexico roads he would not say. When aksd about general Improvements through out the country he said;
 "As they say in Texas. you are bound to have Q heavy rain after a drouth"
 Mir Hartman Is little man, about five feet five inches. and is very slen- der. There is ho color to his face and his dropping noustache and little gotee gave him the appearance of be- ing sick man. However, Ar. Harri- man declares he feels much improved from his Texas visit. While at San Antonio he took the baths at the springs which helped him immensely.
 The railroad king was accompanied
 by his wife, two daughters, his pri- vate physician, Dr. Dixon, Vice Presi- dent Kruttshnitt of the s. P. company and number of others.
 The train, consisting of Mir. Harri- mans private car, the Arden, the pri- cate cars Guadalupe and Iowa, a din CT, another private car, which bore no
 name. and baggage car. was brought into the union station by engine No. 274 of the c. H., an oil burner. At the station were Superintendent
 Wade of the c. H., Superintendent w. l II. Whalen of the Tucson division of
 the union depot and number of oth-
 CT officials of the road and Collector
 of Customs Sharpe, while Jack Hap per, president of the chamber of com merce. was also there to welcome the magnate to our city.
 MT. Hartman remained al the de pot in consultation Ss.th officials while the other members of his party, occu-
 pying three automobiles, took a trip
 around the city and over to Juarez,
 returning to their train for lunch.
 IL is several years since the mag nate has visited this city and he walk cd uptown with Vice President Krutt. schnitt and marvelled at the growth
 of the city He gas particularly in terssted in the new chamber of com
 merce building which Is fin course of
 construction on San Francisco street and gave considerable attention to ex- czvatioB, work which was progressing on the plot of ground next to the Mine and Shelter supply company.
 Though the Hartman party orig inaliy intended 10 go right through to Tucson. orders cause later tkzt they would not depart until o'clock and finally it was. ordered that the train would wait tbe arrival of the Mexi- can Central train to take on the pris vate car of E. N. Brown. who will pro ceed to the west coast with the party. While Mir. Hartman declared that he had not given a thought to changes which are to occur in the conduct of the system or the improvement of lines and the extension of his Aexi- can lines, the fact that E. N. Brown, known as the Hartman of Mexico. is coming to meet the king of them all, gives color to the report that the lines , which are at present under construc-
 ton in Mexico are not the only ones that Hartman has a card or two up his sleeve which he will not shew un-
 tii the time is ripe.
 When questioned as to how long he 1 would stay in Mexico and California
 he replied: T have pot decided, prob
 ably longer than they will want me thore. buf I cannot tell IS minutes ahead just what I shall decide to do
