lfcad of Combined System Haa Not
JIade Any Tlans for Return to
East, but Will Devote Time to
Western Development.
OGDEN, Utah. March 18. Julius Krutt
rchnitt. vice-director, and director of
maintenance and operations of the West
ern roads of the Harriman svstem, ar
rived from Los Angeles this morning In
Private car over the San Pedro and
Oregon Short Line roads. Replying to
queries. Vice-President Kruttschnitt said:
"I am Just returning to Chicago after
nearly a month's absence with President
liarrlmnn In the Southwest and on the
.Va.st. where we found railroad conditions
iry excellent and satisfactory shape.
I Harriman to Stay West.
"President Harriman and other of
ficials connected with the system will re
main on the Coast Indefinitely, and plans
Tor the return trip East have not yet
leen perfected.
No radical changes are contemplated
at tills time In tho management of either
the Southern Pacific. Oregon Railroad &
JXavtgntion Company. Oregon Short Line
or I nion Pacific roads. You may quote
me emphatically on this subject, as I am
desirous that this fact should be gen
erally known throughout the territory
covered by these lines.
No Changes Likely.
"I will add also that the stories re-
irently published regarding rumored
changes are without foundation in fact.
Many of these rumors are originating In
Chicago. Omaha and San Francisco, and
have traveled back and forth from the
lakes to the Pacific and have created a
feeling of unrest and uneasiness all along
the different roads and various depart
ments. This has a disorganizing effect in
many ways, and results In a feeling of
uncertainty that is not conducive of
either efficient or successful railroad op
orations. -I would like to Impress railroad of
ficials generally with the fact that the
Harriman management Is not desirous
of making; changes at any time."
IIARRIMAX NOT HEADY TO QUIT
Health Is Good and Will Not Retire
at Present.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 18. The
statements attributed to K. H. Harri
man e.t Pasadena last evening regard
ing the present state of his health and
tne possibility of his retirement from
active life, as published here this
morning, appear to have been some
what at variance with the intended
meaning of Mr. Harrlman's remarks
on the subject. Mr. Harriman In his
statement said only that he knew that
sooner or later the heavy burden of
responsibility that had rested upon his
shoulders would have to be shifted to
younger ones. There was no hint, how
ever of any possibility of retirement
1 the. near future. Dr. George A.
Dixon, private physician to Mr Har
riman is quoted as saying that the
latter s health has not been better In
years and that the present trio has
greatly helped hU condition.
Dr. Dhcon's full statement was as fol
lows: ;"Mr. Harriman has not been In better
lifalth In years. The Improvement at
tained during his trip is very apparent,
lie ha? steadily bettered his condition
He is not only fully capable of continuing
hla strenuous labor, but also. I am cer
tain, intends to do so. The retirement
rumor must have originated with the
bears on Wall street."
Later Mr. Harriman himself said-
"Thero is absolutely, no foundation for
any assertion that I Intend to retire from
active business."
Mr. Harriman'! secretary. Thomas
Price, said It was evidently "an over
night effort of the New York bears to
have some fun." - .
an anonymous letter In which the writer
says he heard a certain man. whom he

CURED AS MEX.
Quackenbos Says They Do Not De
sire Cure, but Says Hypno
tism Succeeds.
WASHINGTON. March 18. When so
ciety women fall victims to the arink
habit, they are not so easily cured as
men. according to a statement made at
tonight's session of the American Society
for the Study of Alcohol by Dr J D
Quackenbos, of New York. This arid a
declaration by Dr. W. S. Hall, of Chi
cago, that alcohol caused race suicide
gave the 'delegates plenty to talk about
and they made full use of the oppor
tunity. Dr. Quackenbos " asserted that the
women did not wish to be cured in most
instances and were prompted to Indulge
to excess too frequently by the added
sense of pleasure they felt In the flattery
of their admirers. Dr. Quackenbos em
phasized this point in giving the small
percentage of women drinkers who were
possessed of powers of resistance.
His statement that he had permanently
cured more than 800 patients by the'
method of hyno-suggestton after the sub
jects had become asleep through the use
of a drug aroused vigorous protests from
several prominent "scientists, who openly
challenged its accuracy.
