Guilty, that Speyer & Co. have sold their
one-third interest in the Railroad Sc
curities company to Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
The story, as told by this writer, IS
bigger story than the acquisition of
the Burlington by the Hill roads in
1901. The Hartman bankers have
bought in the open markets OF the
world in the last two years over 49,
100000 out Of $95,0OO,000 Illinois Cen
trail stock. The control of the Rail
road Securities company gives them
about $12,OOO,O0O more, making about
$37 100000 in their hands.
Hartman in Saddle.
This is not actual control. It is,
however, so big block of stock that
not even the immense confidence of
Stuyvesant Fish can be counted upon
to stem the tide. 1t is now practically
recognized by the owners of other rail
road properties in the southwest that
Hartman control Of the Illinois Cen
trail may be expected to be announced
at the annual meeting next October.
Hartman wants the control OF the
Illinois Central railroad for two rea-
sons. The first is that, by tho expen-
diture Of about $20.O00,Oo0. it could be
made the most feasible line from Oma-
ha to Chicago. The second, and most
| important, is that it can become a
greater weapon of conquest for Harrl-
man in the next five years than the
Union Pacific has been in the last eight
years. ::
Company Will Expand.
1t is intended that the Illinois Cen
trail shall expand. 1t IS also INTENDED
that it shall become holding compa
nv. It's expansion will be west OF the
Mississippi. Possibly it will make {
cutoff between Galveston and st. Louis
It might even create new short route
from St. Louis to Kansas City. Will
the credit of the Illinois Central any
thing can be accomplished.
Primarily it will strike the Missouri
Pacific and the Rock Island squared,
and strongly. At the present time al
it's neighbors are at peace with the Hi
nois Central. There is keen rivalry
but not destructive competition of an,
kind. The Illinois Central has KEEP

Rails for 1907 delivery will be or

to the difficulty this year of getting

be because the rail manufacturers cam

JEWS IN ENGLISH SOCIETY

Ia England and In London. where SO

and carefully preserved circles. These
are. for the most part. composed of the
members of very old aud very proud
English nobility and gentry. and this
