BLAMES E. H. HARTMAN
FOR RAILWAY JUGGLING
Joseph Ramsey. jr.. Drass in Wizard $
Connection With $30.0O0.O00
Pittsburgh Terminal Bonds.

That the late E. H Hartman was
responsible for letting the bottom drop
out OF SSO.O0o.oOo worth of first mort
gage bonds of the Wabash Pittsburgh
Terminal Company was hinted at broad
ly by Joseph Ramsey. Jr- president of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad.
at a hearing before the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce yesterday. The hearing was on
the Townsend resolution. directing the
Interstate Commerce Committee to in
vestigate the financial operations OF
the company. which Representative
Townsend charges. has been the vic
tim of ruthless, systematic. and sensa-
tional looting through financial Jug
glery.
Mr.. Ramsey testified reluctantly as
to the Hartman connection, and could
not be drawn into an open charge Of
unfair dealing against the late rail-
road wizard. He had asked, in letter
and telegram addressed to Mr.. Town
send. for an investigation, and had de-
clared himself to be "in a sense" the
father of the plan for the consolida-
ton of the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
the wabash Terminal Com
pany, q sixty-mile railroad into Pitts
burgh. In the syndicate formed for
this purpose Andrew Carnegie, George
Gould, and Myron T. Herrick each had
a s5,0O0,000 interest.

State of Melancholy. Whose Only

MANIA BECOMES CONTAGIOUS

Ware the tarantula He'll drive you

Students of psychology believe they
have discovered the cause OF the tango
craze which has gripped youth and age
in this country. Under the subtitle
'.Tarantisrn," a well known encyclopedia
has this illuminating information:
THE tarantula has given its name to
one of those dancing manias which over

snider threw the sufferer into q depressed
state of melancholy, accompanied by
various nervous disorders. The condition
was accompanied by an increased sensi-
biIIty to the power Of music The excite
rnent Of the nervous system amounted IN
some cases almost TO insanity. The only
means Of arousing the sufferer from the
lethargy into which he sank was music.
Under the influence OF this, he woke, as
Il were, and commenced moving rhythmic

This dancing mania became contagious
one person caught II from another, quite
INDEPENDENTLY of the bite Of the tarantu-
IA, and in this way whole districts became
affected.
THE bite of the tarantuls is painful,
but not dangerous, and the real cause Of
the phenomena as described must be
sought in the temporary epidemic pre-
valence Of a hysterical condition"

Full Protection for Public Rights Pro-
vided in Changes Pleases Conserva-
tionists and Defenders.
REINTRoDUcE MEASURE TODAY

Full protection for public rights In
water-power sites and navigabie streams
Is assured by changes made IN the Adam
son dam site bill, over which final con-
ference was held at the White House
Tuesday night Conservative members,
headed by Secretary Lane, left the con-
ference satisfied. as did Judge Adamson
and Majority Leader Underwood, who
were aligned with Secretary Garrison in
defense of the bill. Chairman Ferris. Of
the Public Lands Committee, and Repre-
sentative Lenroot, Republican, Of the
same committee, were happy yesterday
for the first time since the bin was intro
duced.
Five changes were made in the bill. and
It will be reintroduced today, to be taken
up Immediately after the passage Of
the urgent deficiency bill.
Jurisdiction over the water-power sites
Is divided under the agreement The
War Department retains jurisdiction over
all navigable streams, the Interior De-
partment over nonnavigable streams IN
the public domain, and the Secretary OF
Agriculture over nonnavigable streams
In the forest reserve.
The repeal section. which conservation
lists feared would work to repeal the
authorizations under which reclamation
irrigation, and municipal water supply
projects are operating, is changed 80
that 1t VIII apply only TO water-power
projects not In the public domain.
The Secretary OF War at the termina-
ton OF the fifty-year lease provided In
the bill may make q new set OF regu-
lations for the operating company, nxing
conditions, charges and prices for serv-
ice. The Secretary may let the project
to a new company. or take It over by
purchase.
The government will be required to pay
only the original cost for land purchased
from government, State or county, but
for land purchased from private indi-
viduals a fair valuation" must be paid.
Another clause authorizes the President
to withdraw from tho public domain at
his discretion and transfer to the turis-
diction of the SECRETARY Of War any land
necessary to complete a power site.

GIBBONS PLUCKED FOR
ENGLISH IDEAS, IT'S SAID
House Naval Affairs Committee Today
Will Ask Members of Board to Ex-
plain Captains Retirement.

Too much English" is said to be the
cause Of the 'plucking' of Capt John
Henry Gibbons. U. S. N. who has been
retired against his will by the navy
"'plucking board" As a result the House
Naval Affairs Committee today will call
upon members Of the ''plucking board to
explain why Capt Gibbons was retired.
Admiral knight, a member of the board,
VIII appear before the committee, at a
hearing on the Beakes bill. directing the
restoration Of Gibbons to the active list
Of the navy.
Gossip as to Capt. Gibbons retirement
is that he is tempermentally unified.
The tempermental deficiency is reported
TO consist largely OF a number OF con-
tinental or English ideas and man.
nerisms. which his brother officers resent.
Capt. Gibbons was commandAnt at An
napolis when the daughter of a Yale
professor, who was living with the
family of a naval officer as governess,
was asked to leave the floor at one Of
the hops. At the time Of his retirement
Capt Gibbons was in command Of the
Utah, then in Mexican waters. He is
ffty-fve years old and apparently in fine
physical trim.
