Illinois Central Sale
Financiers Accept Story of
Hartman Purchase.
ALREADY HAD BIG HOLDINGS
Union Pacific Interests Previously
Bought Up Quarter Million Shares
Through Jersey Company.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Aithough de
tails are lacking, the report of a closer
alliance between the Union Pacific and
the Illinois Central railroads. if not the
actual purchase OF the last named road
by the Union Pacific, IS generally ac-
cepted by financiers as true. Neither
E. H. Hartman. president of the Union
Pacific. nor Stuyvesant Fish. president
of the Illinois Central. will discuss the
subject.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
several Illinois Central railroad ofTicials.
who talked only on condition that their
names should not be used, expressed
their belief in the truth OF the report
One of these men is a director and an
officer OF the road
Buying for Two Years.
According to the story the Union Pa
cihc, out Of It's profits growing out of
its investment in Northern Pacific and
Great Northern shares, has purchased
So per cent. OF the capital stock of the
Illinois Central 1t was said further
that the accumulation of this stock had
been gradual, extending over a period
of two years.
There are many indications that the
Illinois Central has been acquired by
interests identified With the Hartman
party. II has been known for some tirae
that the Illinois Central holdings in the
hands OF this party have been figured
as high As 10000 shares. OF a par value
OF $4,000, coo. According 10 statements
made by persons who are in position
10 inspect the transfer books of the
Illinois Central, there is evidence in
them that goes far toward confirming
the story OF Il merger.
II is said that the Union Pacific some
time ago took over all the Illinois Cen
trail stock owned by the Railroad Sc
curities Company, a New Jersey corpo-
ration organized by The Hartman in
terests for the purpose Of owning and
holding Illinois Central shares
Has Quarter Million Shares
The records show that this company
had acquired at least S0.0O9 shares OF
this stock. and this, added TO the stock
already i'm the hands of the Union Pa
o.fic. would make that road at present
holder Of at least 240, go shares, OF
par value OF So, ,0O0. 600
