That Control of Northern Pacific
Cannot BE Gained.

lating to Northern Securities matters
James J.. Hill. who was in Chicago to-day.
spoke as follows:
Mr.. Hartman undoubtedly is trying to
secure control of the Northern Pacific.
That is easy enough for anyone to see.
However. the laws Of several Of the
States through which the Oregon Short
Line and the Northern Pacific run are
utterly opposed to such ownership or con-
troll. and l presume he would be prevented
from accomplishing his purpose by those
laws"
Asked whether Mr.. Hartman would Sc
cure control of the road in event the
courts sustain his views regarding the
redistribution of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific stock. Mr.. Hill replied:
He would not. in my opinion"
In the HarriElan-Pierce petition 1t is
stated that Mr.. Hartman received nearly
100000 together with Northern Seeuri-
ties stock in exchange for Northern Pa
cifc stock.
When asked why this sum was given
Mr.. Hartman, Mr.. Hill replied: 1T was
part of the purchase price of the common
and preferred Northern Pacific stock held
by Mr.. Hartman. He sold his Northern
Pacific stock absolutely, and did not ex-
change it."
In speaking OF the Pierce suit Mr.. Hill
said:
Mr. Hartman claims that it is a
friendly suit. That is all l know about it,
