XTarriman's Lieutenants Are Made
Vice-Presidents Stock In Oilier
Road Sold by Union Pacific
Within . the Last Year.
XETT TORK. Oct. 21. Special. All
doubt as to Edward H. Harriman's suc
cessor was set at rcat today, when Robert
P. Lovett was elected president of the
Union Pacific road at the annual meet
ing of the directors. In connection with
his election It was mated that he would
soon be elected president of the Southern
Pacific, of the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company and of the Oregon Short
Line. ,
The sole difference. In future conditions,
compared with p5t conditions, will be
that Mr. Lovett will devote his entire
attention end energy to the Harrlman
Unca proper. The annual report shows
this. Inasmuch as It, discloses the fact
that the Union Pacific haa sold Its stock
holdings in several other railroads for
which Harrlman was credited with reach
ing out. It can be stated with certainty
that Mr. Lovett wss the man selected by
Harrlman to succeed himself and that he
la highly acceptable to the officials of all
lines. Th officials. In fact, many of
the rank and file who knew Mr. Lovett
as a humble attorney in Texas, regard
him with the keenest affection and re
spect. No Other Man Considered.
The other men mentioned" for the Har
rlman places, among whom were Edwin
B. Hawley. Messrs. Kruttschnltt and
Etubbs. John D. Spoor, president of the
Chicago Union Stockyards Company; L.
F. Loree . and William" Newman, were
never for a moment considered by the
hoard. Messrs. Kruttschnltt "and Stubbs
knew before Harrlman died who would
succeed him. and neither ever aspired to
the position.
More even pin Harrlman. Mr. Lovett
was familiar with the details of the great
system which the "Napoleon" of the
railway world had bullded. Better than
any one else Mr. Lovett knows how to
carry on and to perpetuate the system
which made Harrlman the railway king
of his time.
Mr. Lovett will aso, as the meetings
of the directors take place, be elected
president of the steamship companies and
other corporations at the head of which
Harrlman stoodN
Head of Executive Committee.'
After the election of Mr. Lovett to head
the Union Pacific Railroad Company he
waa re-elected chairman of the executive
committee, which ! in effect the con
trolling body for all the Harrlman llnee
proper. The other members of the com
mittee were re-electd. so that the com
mittee la constituted Just as it stood
shortly after the demise of Harrlman.
The committee consists of the following:
Robert S. Lovett, president; Henry C.
Frlck. Man-In Hughitt, president of the
Northwestern road; Frank A. Vanderllp,
president of the National City Bank, or
New Tork: 'William Rockefeller, brother
of John D. Rockefeller, and Jacob H.
Bchiff. of the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb" 4 Co., of New Tork.
Vice-President for Each Road.
The only change made In the conditions
which obtained during Hariman's life
was the election of vice-presidents for the
Union Pacific and for the Oregon Short
Line. A. L. Mohler. general manager of
the L'nlon Pacific, was made vice-president,
as were also J. C. Stubbs, Julius
Kruttschnltt and William Mahl. Mr.
Etubbs is traffic director of the Harrl
man lines: Mr. Kruttschnltt is director
of maintenance and operation and Mr.
Mahl la controller of . the Union Pa
cific. William H. Bancroft was re
elected vice-president and. together with
Meters. Stubbs, Kruttschnltt and Mahl,
was made a member of the executive
committee of the Short Line. William
Rockefeller and Jacob Sehlff were alao
placed upon thla committee, thereby com
pleting It."
The election of rice-presidents for the
various Harrlman lines will be completed
as soon as the boards meet and this ac
tion has no especial significance. - The
election of Messrs. Kruttachnltt and
Stubbs as vice-presidents of the lines
does not in any manner change their re
lation to the properties. They are al
ready vice-presidents of the Southern Pa
cific road.

Into an account of his first encounters
with big African game.
"The dangerous game of Africa," he
says, "are the Hon, buffalo, elephant,
rhinoceros and leopard. The hunter who
follows any of these animals always does
so at a certain risk to life or limb: a risk
which it is his business to minimize by
coolness, caution, good judgment and
straight shooting. The leopard is, in
point of pluck and ferocity, more than
the equal of the other four, but his small
size always renders it likely that he will
merely maul and not kill a man.

up the arm from the wrist to the elbow,
but Akely threw it, holding Its throat
with the hand, flinging Ha body to one

two wounded legs uppermost, so vhat It
could not tear him. He fell forward
with It and crushed In Its chest with his
knees until he distinctly felt one of its
ribs crack; this, said Akely, was the

Handwriting Experts Testify That
Blakesley's -Chirography Is Iden

on Quick for Money.
BY FRANK J. M'GETTIOAN.
ST. HELENS. Or,. Oct. 21. (Staff Corre
spondence.) Thus far none of the threats
of "Toots" Blakesley, alleged blackmailer
of County Treasurer Quick, to expose al
leged . political corruption In Columbia
County has been fulfilled, but that he
succeeded In putting county officials on
the anxious seat developed today.
In session before Blakesley's trial on the
attempted extortion charge, the Columbia
County grand Jury heard of Blakesley s
promise to bow several county heads in
shame, and the inquisitorial body voted
to defer final adjournment until Blakes
leys' trial Is ended. The probers have one
more day to wait, for rapid, startling
progress by the prosecution today pre
dicts that the evidence alleging blackmail
by Blakesley will be in the hands of the
jury tomorrow.
Paramount among the alleged exposures
promised by "Toots" Blakesley was the
Courthouse plot, said to have been put
before County Treasurer Quick by Blakes
ley. The alleged conspiracy, said Quick.
planned robbery of the vaults at tax-col
lectlng time and subsequent dynamiting
of the old Courthouse in order that tie
(Quick), as the owner of an abstract of
fice, might sell Columbia County the
only duplicates of Its records in existence.
Bringing out of testimony on this point
was blocked by District Attorney Tongue

defense, but upheld by Judge Eakin.

District Attorney Tongue had called
Treasurer Quick to the stand to Identify
the letter which Dases the blackmail
charge against Blakesley. When the de

on the letter, a halt was called by Dis

ensted the letter as evidence, but merely
a "Exhibit A for identification." This
barred examination of Treasurer Quick
on the most important feature of the
case and Judge Eakln declined to g.rant

SACRAMENTO. Cal., Oct. 21. (Special.)
The market price on hugs and kisses
when Oak Park's fair ones are victims
was fixed today by Judge Hughes, when
he assessed William Long, a man of fam
ily In the Sacramento suburb, $250 for
forcibly displaying his affections.
The price was a high one, but Long l
married. Had he been a single man, there
Is reason to believe he would have got off
cheaper. What Is more, they were long
hugs.
Long was originally arrested on a
charge more serious than mere hugging,
he having choked 17-year-old Emma Dud
ley. Several other women and girls In
Oak Park Identified Long as a man who
had molested them, but as there waa no
proof of further Intent, it was decided to
reduce the charge to simple assault, to
which Long pleaded guilty.

Daughter of Ohio Millionaire and

Holy Matrimony Groom Con

, LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21. (Special.)
The romance of a young couple whose
marriage was planned 12 months ago
In a small town In Ohio, and which

the man were afraid to risk their love
In matrimony as they professed, was
revealed today when Ross L. Brown
was married to Miss Daisy D. Culp
in Pasadena. The bride Is the daughter
of a millionaire furniture manufacturer
of Vanwert, Ohio.
It also marked the end of a pursuit
which had taken the girl's father twice
across the continent, once seeking the
bridegroom and again seeking his
daughter.
It ended In a peaceable, quiet and
appropriate manner, and a trifling mis
understanding that at one time threat
ened a tragedy is settled.
The young couple are now living
quietly in a hotel near Sixth and Flower
streets. The bridegroom, a mechanic.
Is working for the Los Angeles Gas
& Electric Company, and despite the
wealth of his wife he refuses to return
to the East.
Miss Culp met Mr. Brown when she
was a student at a fashionable girls'
school. With her class she visited the
factory where Brown was employed as
a mechanic.
They became acquainted and finally
Miss Culp proposed that they marry.
Brown refused because she was very
wealthy and he very poor. She over
came his objections and the wedding
date was set.
Brown disappeared on the evening
of the wedding and Mr. Culp sent de
tectives after him. He was found at
Seattle, but escaped and fled to Los
Angeles before Culp could reach him.
Located here Brown was met by Culp,
explanations followed and the daughter
was sent for. C'uip went home today
happy.
