There are today a number of bal
players who would give the scorers
all kinds of trouble if they played IN
der their proper cognomens.
In a number of cases the players
have changed their John Hancock OF
their own accord, while in others the
scribes fixed up the players sigma
ture so it would fit in the box score
without causing much trouble.
The Maps in Ed Foster have a play
er who shifted to a name easier to
pronounce. Foster has a real name
that embraces about thirteen letters
and is pronounced like the name of
numerous Russian counts. To get it
off properly it is best done by sneez-
ing.
Charley Dexter, not the old Cub
player, but the youngster drafted by
Cleveland from New Orleans last
year and returned to that club short
time ago, is really named Karl Schoen-
berg. He didn't figure that he would
have much success under the correct
name, so he shifted to Dexter, and
quite a few of the fans believed him
to be the old big Lacquer.
Fred Abbott, the Toledo catcher re-
Gently appointed manager by Armour,
when boy answered to the name OF
Fred Winbinger. When a Nap sew
eral years ago he travelled under the
name of Abbott. but long before that
time had decided on shift, as he
figured Winbinger didn't mix very
well with Reilly. Casey and few OF
the other Irish names that grace
baseball.
Barney Petty, for several years tie
crack pitcher of the st. Louis Browns,
shortened up his name just after join
ing the bush league. Peltheimer was
the original name, but Barney early
in life decided that Petty was much
more euphonious. Petty is one Of the
few Hebrews who have made sue
cess as a major Lacquer.
Baerwald Of Memphis is the player
who received a tryout under the name
of Bell a few years ago as a member
of the New York Americans. He
shortened up his name on joining the
majors. but when he proved failure
in the big league. went back to his
correct name as a bush Lacquer.
The correct name of Second Base
man Charles of the st. Louis team, is
Aschenbach. AS a college player he
went under his right name During

HARTMAN WILL
TRY REST CURE
RAILROAD WIZARD AVOIDING
BUSINESS CARES
Magnate to Go First to San Diego
and Then to New Orleans,
Where He Will Board
Yacht

Everything is in readiness for the
long sea trip which Edward H. Harri-
man will take with the hope of regain
ing his health. The big conference of
railroad men which was to have been
held at Pasadena has been called off,
although more than a dozen officials of
the Hartman interests had gathered
here from various parts of the country.
The trip north to San Francisco has
been Cancelled, and the Napoleon of
Wall street will leave for San Diego
this morning, where he will remain un-
til word is received that his private
yacht Sultana is well on the way to-
ward New Orleans.
1t was for the purpose of avoiding
the excitement and turmoil of the marts
of trade, it is said, that Mr. Hartman
has decided to go to San Diego and
thence to New Orleans to meet his
yacht. Although Mr. Hartman planned
a three weeks sojourn in this vicinity,
it is understood his physicians have ad-
vised a sea journey.
Turn Work Over to Others
There is no doubt that Mr. Hartman
intended his Wednesday interview to
be his last. 1t was during this talk
and in answer to a question from one
road magnate admitted that he had
been advised by physicians to turn his
work over to others. He said that for
the first time in his career he had been
compelled to realize that there was "a
hereafter. Just how long he will re-
main away from New York is not
known. That he will not again person.
ally direct all the affairs of the great
system of railroads under his control
is believed generally, Mr.. Hartman is
not critically ill, and there is no imme-
diate danger of his becoming so, it is
said if he is allowed rest and quiet.
His retirement will be gradual, it is
understood.
1t is a we'll known fact that Mr.. Har-
riman has been advised many times
during the last two year that it would
be necessary for him to retire soon. It
was feared a year ago that his health
was undermined, but the plucky little
builder of big railroads refused to heed
the advise of the medical men and re-
mained in the game.
The work of placing the Sultana in
commission is being rushed, and the
vessel is expected to leave soon for
New Orleans. The destination of the
Sultana after New Orleans is reached
is not known at the present time, al
though 1t has been declared that Mr..
Hartman would visit Panama for the
purpose of looking over the work of the
canal. The greater part of his party
has returned east and he will be ac-
companied by the Goelets only when he
goes to San Diego.
Meanwhile. it is learned that apart
ments have been reserved for the party
at the Potter hotel, Santa Barbara. for
Monday next, with the intimation that
a stay of several days will be made

NO CHANGES ON HARTMAN
LINES ARE CONTEMPLATED

OGDEN, March 1S.-Julius Krutt-
schnitt vice president and director OF
maintenance and operations of the
western roads of the Hartman system,
arrived from Los Angeles this morn
ing in his private car over the San
Pedro and Oregon Short line railroads.
Replying to queries, Vice President
Kruttschnitt said:
II am just returning to Chicago aft
er an absence of nearly one month
with President Hartman in the south
west and on the coast, where we found
railroad conditions in excellent and
satisfactory shape. President Harri-
man and other officials connected with
the system will remain on the coast
indefinitely, and plans for the return
trip east have not yet been perfected.
mo radical changes are contem-
plated at this time in the management
of either the Southern Pacific, Oregon
Railway and Navigation company
Oregon Short Line or Union Pacific
roads. You may quote me emphatical-
ly on this subject, as I am desirous
that this fact should be generally
known throughout the territory COW
cred by these lines.
II would like to impress railroad Of
ficials generally with the fact that the
Hartman management is not desirous
of making changes at any time"

INCIDENTALLY HE REFERS TO
PUBLIC QUESTIONS
Chief Executive Declares Former

No Statesman in Discharge
of Public Duty

NEW YORK, March 1S.-"rhe Payne
tariff bill unquestionably is revision
downward" said President Taft to some
of his callers today on the train during
his trip from Washington to New York.
The president was made acquainted
with the principal provisions of the bill
before 1t was finally approved by the
committee on ways and means.
He thinks the revenue to be derived
from tho proposed federal inheritance
tax will be largely in excess Of the
amount that has been estimated.
President Taft came to New York to
eulogize In his first public address as
president, "a Democratic predecessor in
the Office he now fills, the late Grover
Cleveland.
Mr.. Taft praised Mr.. Cleveland as a
man who was as completely American
in all his character as Lincoln.

VI Taft Mhn arrived here from

NJ EW YORK, March 1S.-President
Taft, who arrived here from
~ Washington today, made an ad-
dress at the Cleveland memorial exer-
cises at Carnegie hall this afternoon.
Mr.. Taft's address was not only a
eulogy of ex-President Cleveland, but
it incidentally referred to the many
public questions which were dealt with
during Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
Mr.. Taft spoke as follows: "Fellow
citizens: Grover Cleveland was as
as Lincoln. Without a college educa
ton he prepared himself for the bar.
His early life was confined to western
New York. His vision of government
and of society was not widened by
foreign travel. He was a public prod
uc. of the village and town life of the
middle states, affected by New Eng
land ancestry and the atmosphere of
a clergyman'S home. His chief char
acteristics were simplicity and honesty
courage of his convictions. with sense
of public duty that has been exceeded
by no statesman within my knowledge.
1t was so strong in him that he rarely
wrote anything whether in the form
of a private or public communication
that the obligation of all men to OBJ
serve the public good was not his chief
theme.
His career was a most remarkable
one. By his administration of the af-
fairs of his city as it's mayor he
showed his power of resistance to and
overcoming the influences that made
for corruption and negligence in city
government both in his own party and
in the party of his opponents.
"His reputation in this regard spread
over his native state of New York at
time when such an attitude as his
seemed exceptional and his standing
before the community became an asset
of the Democratic party that even
those who had but little sympathy
with his principles were glad to seize
on him as a means of getting into
power. Accordingly he was nominated
for the governorship and was elected
by the votes, not only of his own
party, but of thousands of the Repub-
llcan party. The discharge of his du-
ties as governor confirmed and
strengthened the reputation he had
acquired as a mayor.
Before he had ceased his office as
mayor he had been elected governor.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Submission of a law providing for
statewide prohibition will probably
be an issue in the next session of the
Virginia legislature.
1t is rumored that the rival demo-
cratic factions in Missouri may unite
on David r. Francis as the next
democratic nominee for United States
senator.
Congressman w. s. Hammond, the
only democratic congressman from
Minnesota, may become candidate
to succeed the late Gov. John A.
Johnson
Former Governor George G. Pardee
may decide to become a candidate
once more for the Republican gVber-
Material nomination in California;
The control of water power fran
chises and the elimination of the use
of money in political contests are to
be the chief issues upon which Lieu
tenant Governor John Strange will
conduct his fight for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in WiscOn-
sin.
Governor Glasscock of West Vir-
ginia has announced he is in favor Of
an income tax amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution and will use his in
fluence to have the next legislature
ratify such an amendment. An ex-
ira session of the legislature will be
called this fall
Governor Harmon of Ohio, who has
been mentioned as a possible presi-
Dental candidate on the Democratic
ticket, has accepted an invitation to
deliver the Grafton at the Democratic
Day celebration to be held at the
Texas state fair in Dallas next month.
In legal and political circles in
New York a story Is current to the
effect that Frederic d. Coudert and
other eminent legal lights of the me-
tropolis are at the proper time to
bring suits in the United States
courts to test the constitutionality of
the federal corporation tax law.
Although the state primary in Ala
bama will not be held until next year,
the contest for Office has become so
tangled up with the question of pro-

South Carolina now stands thirty

knowledge of their overwhelming
majority the Prohibitionists are pre-

making prohibition statewide, as in
