Arrests Expected.

Chicago. Ill, August 19.--Three for
Central Railroad Company were arr
rested to-day on warrants in connec-
tIon with the alleged frauds by means
of which the railroad was defrauded.
it Is said. OF $1,50o.ooo.
The men arrested were Frank 3.
Hartman. formerly general manager
OF the road: Charles L. Ewing. formerly
manager OF lines north OF the Ohio
River; j ohm 81. Taylor. formerly gen
eral storekeeper OF the road.
The warrants, sworn to by j. T. Har-s
8ahan, president Of the illinois Central
Railroad. charge the three men with
conspiracy to cheat and defraud the
railroad by false pretenses and with
Operating a confidence game. Harrt- :
man and Ewing were taken to the Har-
rison Street Police Station. Their
bonds of $4,000 each were signed by
"a professional bondsman.
The allegations in the graft case
are startling. The investigation be-
gan year ago. 1t reached Crisis
last spring, when President Harahan
began actions to recover sums said to
aggregate more than $1.00o,o0o, alleged
to have been taken from the road by
Sui cQdAA companies III SOhASs oAAS~
with high officials OF the road Harrt-
man. Ewing and Taylor and many
others of less magnitude resigned their
positions.
Headed on by Death.

been repaid privately. The name OF
Ira G. Rawn, who resigned the vice
presidency of the Illinois Central roaz.

| tenn. and who was found dead recently
| at his home with bullet wound in
his breast, was brought into the scan-
6al. Murray Nelson, Jr.. attorney for
| the Illinois Central. to-day said tha;
| Rawn.s death ~ headed of 81 wa Grants
which would have been issued for him.
Private detectives. working under
the direction OF President Harahan,
are said to have unearthed frauds other
lthan those connected with padded car
lrepair bills. These are said TO involve
the diyerting OF s1.ooo.0o0 or more for
new construction funds. The investi-
gators say they have procured several
confessions. which will be used in their
attempt to fasten guilt on culpable per-
sons.
To-days developments bring the name
of Ewing into the case for the first
time.
II have never been approached by
any attorney or detective engaged in
this case" said Mr.. Hartman. II am
perfectly innocent OF any and all
charges made against me. I will adj
nit that have been awaiting some
such action as this in order to refute
the charges am glad of the oppor-
tunity to clear my nam" "
An official of the Illinois Central
Railroad tonight intimated that other
warrants would follow those issued.

Ing of the annnuncen1entSSofs of an ar e
rangenent for Japan to- take over the
Empire of Korea, forecasted by Ambas-
sador O,Brien In a dispatch to the de-
partment yesterday from Toxic. The
Associated Press dispatches describing
the unusual activity OF officials in Ko-
rea and OF the warships controlling
the Korean coast are interpreted as
substantiating the information con-
yeyedS to the department by the Amer
lean ambassador.
The American government thus far
has made no protest concerning Japa-
nese domination In Korea. Following
the course taken by other powers. no
protest was made to the article OF the
Portsmouth peace treaty between Ja-
nan and Russia which Japan probably
regards as the latest recognition of Its
right to take over Korea. This article
provides that ''the imperial Russian
government, acknowled ging that Japan
possesses in Korea paramount politi-
cal, military and economical interests.
engages neither to obstruct nor inter-
fere with the measures OF guidance
and protection and control which the
Imperial government of Japan may
hnd 1t necessary to take in Korea" :"
The United States. however. has q
number of treaties with Korea which
would be affected by the taking over
OF that country by japan and whlch
would require Japan to notify the
American government of her jurtsdic-
