Positively Stated That Hill Wants to Con
troll the Northern Pacific.
New YORK, May From parties
well Informed as to Great Northern and
Northern Pacific matters, it is posi-
lively learned that the real cause Of the
hasty departure Of President Hill OF the
Great Northern and Mr.. Adams of the
reorganization committee of the North
ern Pacific, was the discovery that j.
Pierpont Morgan, who is now in
Europe, is giving Northern Pacific mat
tiers some attention, and that he, in con
junction with August Belmont, di-
rector of the Northern Pacific, is form.
ing plan of reorganization in the
interests Of the first, second and third
bondholders and the stockholders.
When it was stated that President
Hill was after the Northern Pacific, the
idea was pooh-poohed on the ground
that Mr.. Hill had enough on his hands
and was altogether too busy to be wor-
ried by another property; but it is an
open secret that Mr.. Hill has long
cherished the ambition to control the
Northern Pacific lines to cover the
Puget Sound terminals with the mantle
of his greatness, and some years ago he
had his object so nearly accomplished
that it was only by fuke that he lost
the game. He is now at work upon 1t
again, and if he loses it will be because
Morgan and Belmont are too strong for
him and Henry Willard wants too
