While the FIVE per cent. increase is
acceptable, there are many men who
believe that the Wilmington City Rail-

Wide Diffusion Of Roads Stock
Holds Back Standard Oil
Crowd.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 27.-The Chicago, NIL
waukee & st. Paul road is not to be
taken over by the Union Pacific, de-
spite the revived report that E. H.
Hartman is seeking it's control. It
will continue indefinitely to be operated
as an independent line unless conditions
greatly change. This statement is made
by man who is in position to know
the facts and it tends to verify the as
sertlon Of Mr.. Hartman short time
aago, that all stories connecting the
Milwaukee and the Union Pacific are
"purely imaginative H.'
1t is believed that Mr.. Hartman is
using Standard Oil money in his rail-
way operations. It is also well known
that William Rockefeller, II. H. Rogers
and other men identified with the
Standard Oil company for many years
have owned a large block Of stock in
the Milwaukee. It develops, however.
that they do not, as has been frequent.
~ asserted, own majority of it's stock,
but only from Is to 20 per cent. With
their reputation as business men this
is enough to give them commanding in
fuence on the roads, policy, but It is
not enough to enable them to turn the
road over to Mr.. Hartman, even if they
were disposed to do so, and that they
are disposed to do so is anything but
certain. ,4
A chief reason why it would be diff
cult for the Hartman interests to get
control of the Milwaukee is the wide
diffusion Of it's stock. It is held in
small blocks not only by people all
over the United States, but in almost
every country in Europe. and even in
Asia, who have bought it las an invest
ment. The hardest fight ever made for
the Milwaukee was that Of J.. j. Hill
and after. forcing this price up and Sc
curing only t16 per cent of the stock he
believed Mr.. Hartman would meet with
no better success. = II
