NEW YORK, March I'm the
course of the Herald's interview
with Vanderbilt he spoke as fol-
lows: "The great difficulty now is
that speculation has got possession
OF the people and there are very
few who are able to Withstand its
destinations. Hardly a day passes
that I am not called upon to help
some one who has lost his or her

women have it as bad as the men.

think"
"Is it true that you can control
speculation In Wall street when
you like to do SOP"
- "What nonsense! Why. there
are twenty men down there who
could go round me three or four
times before breakfast - not
twenty, but hundred aud tweu.
