MOORES CONTROL
President Leeds Denies Hartman
Interests Have Become Own
ers of Rock Island.
NO CHANGE IS CONTEMPLATED
OhiciaI Also Declares. False Story of
Purchase of Chicago Il
Northwestern.

You may state on my authority,
said w. b. Leeds, president of the
Rock Island railway. 10 a representa-
tive of the Chicago Tribune Saturday
afternoon, that there is no founda-
ton whatever in the report that the
Hartman interests have secured con
troll of the Rock Island. There has
been no change whatever in the con-
troll of the road, and, so far as / am
aware, none is contemplated. The
first | heard of the Hartman story
was. when l read ii this morning on
the train ON my way here from DEN
YER"
President Leeds also denied the re-
port that the Rock Island. or parties
controlling it. had or were about to
secure control of the Chicago &
Northwestern. He also said thar
there was no intention of bringing
west Vice President Charles \. War
rem, of the Jersey Central. as vice
president i'm charge of traffic of the
Rock Island, or as assistant to the
president.
Rise i'm Stocks.
The story about Hartman buying
control of the Rock Island from the
Moore brothers looked quite as
"fishy' to well informed railroad Off
cials here as the story about the Rock
Island securing control of the Chicago
x Northwestern. continues the Fri
bune. Mir. Hartman is in Mexico,
and has been there for the last two
weeks, and Mr.. Leeds would certainly
he consulted if sale of the Rock Is
land was made. as he is understood
to hold personally more stock than
the Moore brothers. As stated in the
Tribune last Tuesday. the only foun-
-dation of these stories of mergers
and consultations at this time is the
phenomenal advance in the stock of
the Rock Island ana Northwestern
roads during the last two weeks.
Plan to Cut Money.
The rise i'm Rock Island stock Is
easily explained The impression has
prevailed for some time that it is the
intention of the Moore brothers to
double the stock of the company and
place it, on ( per cent basis. The
road * now said to he earning 9 or
10 per cent on its present capitaliza-
ton. This would make the stock
worth about 200. and there are many
outsiders who are trying to- buy some
stock to get Il slice of the melon. In
order to get. it these people have to
pay a high price, as there is little of
the stock on the market.
AS for Mr.. Hartman, it can he stat
ed ON good authority that he is not
anxious to acquire any more railroad
properties at present. He has about
all he cares to have under present
conditions. The present outlook is
not the best i'm the world. Business
is steadily falling off and scarcely any
grain is moving. The interstate
commerce commission is making a
most determined effort to enforce
the interstate commerce law, and the
legality of the mergers and combina-
tions lately effected by Hill and Har-
riman is being tested in the United
States courts. Until these troubles
have been surmounted it is not likely
that any of the big railroad magnates
or syndicates will attempt new COM
binations or consultations of parallel
lines.
