Harriman Inquiry Resumec. ■
N6w York, Feb. 25.—Did the Inter
state Commerce Commission mean to I
hand Edward Henry Harriman a lemon
when it fixed upon today as the date 1
for resuming its investigation into the j
financial operations of the Harriman i
railroad interest? But perhaps the I.!
C. C. did not know today was Mr. Har-'
riman's birthday.
It was just fiftv-nine years ago, on
February 25, 1849, that the man who
now controls over 25,000 miles of rail
road with a total capitalization of over
$1,700,000,000, first saw the light of
day in the rectory of a little church
at Hempetead, L. 1., where his father
was an Episcopal minister. •
Young Harriman entered Wall street
as a clerk in the sixties. In 1870, when
32 years of age, he was a-:le to buy a
seat on the New York Stock Ex
change. In 18S3 he came actively into j
the railroad field. In 1887 he became
vice-president of the Illinois Central
Railroal. The year 1907 finds him in
control not only of the Illinois Central
but the Union Pacific, Southern Paci
fic, Baltimore & Ohio,' Chicago & Al
ton, and Kansas City Southern.
And now the Interstate Commerce
Commission purposes to find out how
he did it. It has already conducted
hearings in Chicago and on the Pacific
coast, relative to the traffic and opera
ting departments of the Harriman
roads. Today the hearing was resumed
in this city with special reference to
the financial methods of the Harriman
corporations. . -
That the greatest importance is at
tached ta the present stage of the in- .
vestigaticn is evidenced by the fact
that Chairman Knapp has brought all
the members of the commission to
New York to take part in the inqquiry.
Heretofore it has been deemed suffi
cient for only one or two of the com
missioners to conduct a hearing.
It is expected that the commission
v/ill sit continuously here until the in
vestigation is over. The examination
of Mr. Harriman is to be the first feat
ure on the programe. When his testi
mony has been obtained that of Jacob
H. Schiff, D. Ogden Mills, William
Rockefeller and other big financiers
will be sought. Several of those whose
testimony is desired are in Europe
and it is thought quqite likely that
they will find it convenient to remain
abroad unail the investigation is con
cluded. Prominent among the absen
tees are James Stillman and Charles
A. Peabody, president of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company and a direc
tor in both the Union Pacific and Illi
nois Central railroads. H. H. Rogers
and Henry C. Frick probably will be
called upon to' tel! what they know
regarding the Harriman system of fi
nance. President Winchell of the Rock
Island, President Felton of the Alton
and a number of other railroad execu
tives arc also slated to take the stand
as witnesses.
Postmaster Would Be Mayor.
Chicago, 111., February 25. — The
standard bearer of the Republican par
ty in the coming mayoralty campaign
doubtless will be selected at today's
primaries, subject to confirmation at
the party convention next Saturday.
Postmaster Frederick A. Busse, who
has conducted an active fight appears
fo have the best chance of landing
the plum—or the lemon, as the result
ot the April election may decide.
Bussc has a strong organization at
his back and has the support of the
Republicans generally. He has held
state, county and city offices and is
well versed in every thing that con
cerns the game of politics as it is
played in the Windy City. He is not
exactly in favor with the business
element of the party, which would
prefer that the mayoralty nomination
go to Alexander H. Revell or some
business man of high standing, particu
larly in view of the fact that the
contest this year hinges on a busi
ness proposition, namely, the question
of the street car franchises.

FLUE CURING IMPROVESTOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
- Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger
•~ \ y
There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
V. '
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the'later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
the tobacco.is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating -taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco- grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous •
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to SI.OO per pound; Schnapps is sold
at 50c. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and 15 cent plugs.
