of we'll known fingers have been puT-
chased, while the two most prominent
young pitchers in the Central associa-
ton last season, Douthett and Clark,
have been retained, in addition to sew
arel youngsters, with excellent records.

Late E. H. Hartman Dreamed
of Rail Monarchy West of
Mississippi.
Baked BY HIS BANKERS
Told That 1t Was Too Much for One
Man to Undertake-Facts Are
Brought Out in Court.

New York, March S.-The story of
an absolute railroad monarchy that
failed to materialize was told yester-
day in the suit in which the federal
government is trying to dissolve The
merger OF the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific railroads.
1t was the story of E. H. Hartman 8
browning ambition, to be the undis
puted railroad car of the vast half
continent lying between the Missis-
sippi river and the Pacific ocean. and
it was the tale, too, of how lack of
cash and inability to convince his
financial hackers of his ability to
reign successfully as such a czar
thwarted Mr.. Harriman's aspirations.
Called TO Show Monopoly.
Otto II. Kahn of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. the bankers who financed
Harriman's greatest projects, was the
narrator. He had been called as a
witness. and the government hoped
his testimony would go far to prove
its contention that the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific merger was a monop-
olistic enterprise.
Mr.. Kahn's testimony, although 1t
failed to carry such admissions as had
been hoped for, was chiefly interest
ing because of the inside history il re-
vealed relating to the unfulflled ambi-
ton dearest to the heart of the man
who, before his death, was hailed as
the greatest railroad magnate the
world ever had seen.

T. j. SHANNON ASSAILS
PLAN TO ALTERATE FLAG.
U. V. Legion Commander Labels
Suggestion MOnstrOsity.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 15.-National
Commander Thomas j. Shannon, of the
Union Veteran Legion, in his annual
address to that organization yesterday,
bitterly ridiculed the bill before Con-
gress providing for new arrangement
of the stars in the flag. He also voiced
his opposition to bill providing for the
release of old soldiers from office when
they had reached the age of 70 years.
"Such flag would be monstrosity,
he declared "The bill introduced in
Congress during February of 1908, pro-
posing the change in the formation of
the field, never got beyond the COM
mittee, but the same bill was reintro-
duced March II, of this year. The plan
is to put the stars in the form of one
large emblem, and as each new state
star is added, it Is to become a tail to
the points of the large star 1t Is not
the flag we loved and fought for. Pro-
tests are coming in from comrades in
every section of the country. 1t is the
work of every patriotic organization
and ours especially, to protest and de-
mand that our flag, which has carried
us safely over 1870 years, be sacredly
preserved in its present form.
