LEAVING PASADENA

Pasadena, Cal, March 16-With the
scattering of nearly all OF the railway
men who have paid their respects TO
E. H. Hartman since his arrival here
Sunday last, weight has been given to
Mr.. Harriman's denial of the report
that there was to be an important con"
ference between him and his lieuten-
ants here and one Of the results would
be several changes In the heads of de-
partments of the Hartman SYSTEM.
Julius Kruttschnitt, director Of main
tenance and operation of the system,
left tonight for Chicago. and the gener-
al counsel of the Southern Pacific is
already back In his San Francisco Of
fee.
j, T. Harahan, president Of the Illi-
nois Central. says that the story that
he is to be sent to New York, to be
president of the New York Central
road. is without foundation and that
he just happened to be in Southern
California with his wife, on a tour OF
inspection combined with pleasure, at
the same time that Mr.. Hartman
happened to arrive here with his fam
lily and friends for the benefit of his
health.
General Manager O'Brien of Port
land, head Of the Hartman interests
In the Northwest, left for Colorado this
morning.
Epes Randolph. Harriman's Arizona
representative, has departed for Phoe-
nix. So Mr.. Hartman has no one TO
confer with. 1t would seem.
II anything OF great Importance was
accomplished at the meetings betwcen
the various department heads OF the
system and Mr.. Hartman yesterday
Mr. Hartman keeps results secret for
he contented himself today iwth telling
the newspaper men how he was en-
joying the sunshine OF Southern Call
fornia and what great country the
Southwest was. He refused to talk OF
railroad changes.
The belief Is general here that II
any of the important changes hinted
at heretofore are to be made, the an
nouncement of them will come after
Mr. Harriman's return to New York
The exact date OF his leaving Southern
California has not yet been fixed
