SILL REAcHING oUT.
Hartman Syndicate is After Other
Big Svndicates.

New York. Feb. 2.-The Evening Post
says: 1t was announced on high au-
thority today that the Hartman syndi-
cate has not only acquired large hold
ings of Southern Pacific stock, but is
also obtaining control of the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas. Thus it is shown that
the motives which led the Hartman
syndicate to secure the Speyer and
Huntington holdings in the Southern
Pacific railroad and thus a dominating
interest in that property, involved
Vaster scheme OF railroad consolidation
The close identification of the Gould
I interest with the members of the har-
riman syndicate would facilitate the
new relations proposed for the Kansas
& Texas property, and the control OF
the Missouri. Kansas * Texas, II was
asserted today, had been practically
already assured to the syndicate
The syndiCate's control of these prop
critics made more feasible and desirable
the control Of the Southern Pacific, be
cause it was the only remaining COM
pany west of the Mississippi whose
lines were in intimate relations with
the other properties controlled by the
syndicate.
The Southern Pacific connection to
san Francisco is essential to the Union
Pacific and the Missouri Pacihc's Den
yer line, lying between that of the
Union Pacific and the Atchison, and
I reaching the Mississippi river at St
Louis. gives an outlet to the lower Mis-
sissipDi river essential To the broadcast
control of the markets of the west.
The Missouri Pacific and other Gould
lines, particularly the Texas & Pacific,
are, on the other hand, very closely in
terwoven with the Texas lines extend

ton, but in the eastern portion of the
state both Missouri Pacific and the
Southern Pacific lines have an extern
sive mileage. largely competitive and
reaching jointly all the important cit
les. including Fort Worth, Houston,
Austin, etc.

the Southern Pacific may be taken as
