Boston, Aug 30-Thomas w Law
son vouches for Mrs. Lillian Hobart
Frenchs statement that the recent
Waterloo of F Augustus Heinze, the
copper magnate, was due to a certain
beautyful young woman, who obtained
from him his innermost financial Sc
crets and used them in the interest of
the Standard Oil to club Mr.. Heinze
into financial pulp and left him won
dering what hit him. He was so seri-
ously hurt that Mrs. French's jewels
were used to tide him over.
When Mrs French made her latest
statement it was believed that she
was romancing. Mr.. Lawson declares
it was correct and says this accom-
plishment of the beautiful employe OF
the Standard Oil was an ordinary feat
for her.
* am astonished that the person.
ality of this Titian-haired beauty never
has been brought into print before,
said Mr. Lawson, "HeinZe is only one
of the men whose secrets she has been
able to betray to Standard Oil. Time
after time she has been the moving
spirit beneath many Standard Oil
coup and only those who had babbled
their stories to her know how the mag
mates at 26 Broadway were able to cir
cumvent their carefully laid plans

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-Nineteen law
yers representing big Western railway
systems were present when the inter

The hearing involves 202 transporta-

ping interests.
According to President Darius Miller
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
the larger lines will not urge poverty
as necessitating rate advances. Mr.
Miller said that business necessity and
expediency, rather than "verge-of.
bankruptcy arguments will be made
The shippers have been organized to

The shippers claim that the rail
roads have padded records of their
operating expenses in order to make
it appear that an advance in freight
tariffs is demanded by common justice
to investors in their securities.
