HOWELLS CALLS HIM GREAT
Novelist Says Tolstoy Was Also
a Verv Good Man.

William Dean Fiowells. the novelist, raid
the relieving tribute 20 Count Tolstey:
y think ne vas a very great man and
2 very good nlan-perhaps the greatest
and -he best of his time. In Z sense. there
is nothing 70 add 70 that, and moreover
have written Of what Tolstoy has meant
n me IN nv Literary Passions. The fact
that he Is dead now does not alter the
signifcance OF his work and Of himself.
And yet perhaps this dramatic, this
painfully, terribly dramatic END, may call
fer semething more than I have already
said Il is true that Turgeniev once ad-
visec Tolstoy 20 stick 70 his writing and
forget his theories Of conduct, but il is
Z mistake 70 consider Tolstoy the man
and the creative artist as two separate
entities mat nav be divorced from each
other Who attempts 10 divorce art and
life makes e grave errer.
-sTolstoy was realist in art and in life.
L Is perhaps difficult To estimate what his
influence has been on contemporary hu-
manity. but I should say il has been very
great He believed in taking the life of
Christ for an example. and fer nreeept.

seems 20 be rfle tendency of the younger
Christianity.

that's it; the lesser man has uenneris1ns

but 4 great personality is iucommunicable.
I DO not pretend 70 try 70 explain To-
stoy later days. I have never met him,
never been in comnlunica ton with him,
but II seems to me that he believed what
he lived and that ne tried 70 live what he
believed, It WIS unfortunate that his be
lief forced Itself into such poignantiy dra-
matte expression. There he sat at one end
coarse food, while a Eootman stood at the
ether end Of the table and served delicate
viands 10 his family.
There is this about such poverty as that
that il IS imaginative in essence and dra-
matte in form, rather than real. The ulan
experienced poverty; he lived the life o.
the poor. wore their clothes and ate their
food. Dut ne could not feel the dread that
is never lifted from the very poor, the
dread Of actual want tomorrow II vas

RECEIVER ASKED FOR
Illinois Central Seeks Protection in
Its Fight TO Recover From
Pullman Car Co.

Chicago, July 6.-The Illinois Cen
trail road, through its attorney, Muir
ray Nelson, Jr. filed an amended bill
in the state courts today asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the
West Pullman Car Works and for an
extension Of an injunction recently
granted SO as to restrain the Central
Trust Company from paying out over
100000 which it is said to have on
deposit for Hanery c. Ostermann.
The amended bin was admitted by
Judge Walker, who set the receiver
ship hearing for argument next Mon
day.
The latest move by the Illinois Cen
trail road was made for the purpose of
preventing the officers of the West
Pullman company from selling and
disposing of all the assets of the
company and distributing the pro.
.ceeds among the alleged conspirators
who are charged with defrauding the
in connection with repairs to cars,
Fraud is Charged.
It is charged in the amended bill
that the assets of the West Pullman
Car Works, formerly the Ostermann
Manufacturing Company are not
worth to exceed 100000, That the
works are closed and that more than
100000 has been paid by the CON
pany to Ostermann recently and de-
posted in the vaults of the Central
Trust Company or its bank
This money, it is alleged, is part Of
the $750,0)0 out of which the West
Pullman company, in connection with
four former officers of the Illinois
Central, defrauded the latter com
pany. In addition to the money there
is said to be notes Of considerable
value in the Central Trust Company's
vault, the notes being a part of the
payment to Ostermann for the plant
of the West Pullman Car Works.
1t is also charged in the amended
bill that on many cars repaired by
the car company for the Illinois Cen
trail the charges for certain apparatus
was for greater quantity than such
cars are equipped with and that in
many cases the charges were for
roofs to coal cars, which are open
gondola cars.
