Mr. Hartman, It is further reported IS seriously
considering the adyisability Of retiring from the
presidency Of the Union and Southern Pacific and
assuming the office Of chairman of the board OF
each company. Such a change If decided on
would be simply another step in the direction OF
freeing Mir. Hartman from the necessity OF giving
attention to details OF the executive management,
and would not signify lessened interest or ac-
tvity in the affairs OF the great railroad system
of which he is the responsible head.
James J. Hill resigned the presidency Of the
Great Northern Railway Company some time ago
and became chairman Of the board, obtaining by
the transfer from much OF the routine work
devoirfng on the president and a corresponding
amount Of additional time TO devote to the shaping
Of the policies governing the Hin system and 70
supervision Of the carrying Of those policies into
execution. In the way Mr.. Hartman, IT is
said would chairman of the board Of the roads
OF the Union Pacific system be actively identified

would concern himself with broad questions Of
policy, to the exclusion OF matters OF detail.
Mr.. Hartman is expected to return 10 New
York within about week. but probably viii start
soon on another trip after settling certain inn

CAMBLED IN KENOSHA
Three Men Arrested for. Playing
at 'Farbin" in q North Side
Saloon on Thursday
PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES

Ever play Farbin !" Don It do it
for you are liable to find it an expen-
sive game. Notwithstanding the fact
that the city of Kenosha is always
free from gambling Police Officer John
Leik managed to stumble on to a
game of ..'Farbin' III the saloon of
Stephen Popovich on North Chicago
street Thursday and after he had
studied the game under the tutelage
of one of the players he decided that
it was just as harmful an amusement
as draw poker or roulette and he ar
rested the three men who were in the
game. The men gave their names as
Stephen Popovich, who declared that
he had sat IN the game but twenty
minutes and had played up a fifty cent
stack of chips, Femeter Wenntel, who
informed the officer Of the beauties of
the game, and Stephen Biski, who had
no excuse to offer for his part in the
dealing of the cards. All three of the
men were brought before Justice Nc
Carron this morning and they entered
"a plea Of "Guilty" to violating the
gambling laws The court assessed a
fine Of So and costs in each case. All Of
the men managed to settle up. IT is
probable, however, that they will fight
a little shy of the "Farbino game
in the future. The court was not able
to understand the game exactly, but he
saw enough of it to feel certain that
the game was one that would fall
under the category of gambling and as
Wenntel had insisted that he had lost
his money there was nothing to do but
issue the warrants.
It is said that the police have been
given strict Instructions in regard to
gambling IN the city and that several
places are being closely watched.

County Clerk Jones Calls Special
Session Of County Board to
Meet on May 4th
MAY TAKE UP JAIL QUESTION
No Reason for the Meeting is Stated
in the Call but Several Matters
May be Taken up at the
Short Session

County Clerk Russell HI. Jones this
morning issued formal call for a
special meeting Of the County Board
of Supervisors to be held at the county
building on the morning Of May 18th.
No cause for the meeting is stated in
call, but the Board is being called to-
gether primarily to provide means for
the payment of the bills of the new
Municipal Court. The law which pro-
vides for the court makes it necessary
for the expenses of the court to be paid
under the direction Of the County
Board, but as yet no moneys have been
appropriated for this purpose and it
is necessary to arrange for this detail
The calling Of the special meeting
however, is most opportune as the
members of the Board are anxious to
take some action in regard to the pro-
posed improvement Of the county Jail
and it is probable that this question
will be taken up at the special meet.
ing. The architect drawing plans for
the Jail in keeping with the suggestions
made by the member of the State
Board of Control recently in Kenosha,
will have these plans ready within a
few days and it is possible that they
will be submitted to the State Board
for its approval before the time set
for the special meeting Of the Board
Some of the members of the Board are
strongly IN favor of the building of a
new Jail for the county and the special
session may bring quite fight on this
question. The members of the special
building committee have all been elect
ed to membership of the Board for an
other term and there will be no com
plications along that ;ine. The com
mittee was instructed to report at the
November session Of the Board, but
it is just possible that they will decide
to have their report ready for the
meeting in May. Should the plans for
the Improvement of The jail be accept
ed by the Board at that time it would
be possible to get the work well under
way this summer and it is just posi-
BILE that it could be completed before
the opening Of the winter.
These two matters are probably the
only business that will come before the
Board and it is not expected that it
Will continue for more than one day.
It will, however, give the new mem
bers elected at the spring election a
chance to get acquainted with their
duties as supervisors.
