Chicago. Dec. 2s-AI that Can be obtained
from John ]. Mitchell tonight regarding the
Chicago and Alton sale is that he. E. II. Harri-
man and J. A. Stewart. the New-York banker
appointed a committee recently by the
Hartman interest which now holds 90 per cent
Of the Alton preferred stock. to get the larger
part of the remaining 80 per cent OF the pre-
ferred.
The plan is TO merge with the Kansas City
Southern Road. already owned by the Hartman
syndicate. and thus get outlet to the Gulf
of Mexico. Mr.. Mitchell says the sale was kept
quiet, necessarily, until few days ago. when
the Hartman syndicate committee began ener-
getic efforts to acquire more OF the preferred
stock AS TO the details of the Immediate plans
Mr.. Mitchell declined TO say anything
This indicates that Mr. Mitchell. who is Mr..
Harrimans right hand man in the West. is
rot offering Alton stock to any other road. but
is buying it. and that the much rumored mer-
ger OF the Alton road with another line Is that
stated-with the Kansas City Southern and In
the interest OF the Hartman syndicate. SThe
fact that Mr.. Mitchell was willing TO talk at all
at this time about the plans is significant, and
indicates that the committee OF which he Is a
member with Messrs. Hartman and Stewart has
about secured all the additional Alton preferred
that is required for the deal with the Kansas
City Southern.
