Am lNrEREsrINe FAMILY.

The Innes-Ker family has an inter-
esting history, which goes back to
Anglo-Norman times. The Kers are
said to be descended from two broth
ers who settled in Scotland in the
thirteenth century, and as neither of
these two brothers would yield prece-
dence to the other a deadly feud ex-
listed between them. and their descend
ants founded two rival houses, whose
representatives at the present day are
the Duke of Roxburghe and the Mar
quis of Lothian.
In 1916 certain Sir Robert Ker. who
had been the first to carry the news Of
Queen Elizabeth's death to the Scot
fish king, James VI. was made Earl
of Roxburghe. and his descendants
kept this title until the fifth earl was
made Duke of Roxburghe and Earl of
Kelso.
The third duke died childIess, and
famous lawsuit then began, which
lasted some years and finally was de-
cided in favor of one of the claimants,
Sir James Norcliffe Innes, who. on
succeeding, took the name of Ker in
addition to that of Innes, and in this
way the family name became Innes-
Ker.
OF the Innes family it has been writ

the Union Pacific, and the Union Pa

Until his death, in 1900, Coils P.
Huntington had held the south against
this Napoleon of railroads and had
defied him. For five months after the
passing of its creator this route boom

No one seemed to be wise as to its fu-
ture. but it was rumored that the Van
Gerbilt interests were back of the
property. Early in 1901 it came like a
shock that a controlling interest in the
road had been bought by syndicate

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-01-26

"a BOUT the time Edward H Har-
"a riman achieved the ambition
- of his life-became the master
of a chain of railroads ex-
tending across the continent from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceanic be-
gan to attract the attention of the in
terstate commerce commission. That
is not to say that the operations of the
railroad manipulation had never before
excited the interest of that restraining
body. His clever evasions of the law
which it was the business of the com
mission to enforce kept its members
continually on the alert. To catch him
mapping was the burden of their hope
They believed that he would overreach
himself. Has he done so? That is
what the investigators are trying to
determine.
Less than fifteen years ago Edward
H. Hartman was an unknown quantity
in the wide field of railroad affairs. 1t
was his activity as a minority security
holder in opposing the reorganization
of the Erie railroad by J. Pierpont Nor
gan that brought him into public view.
for the first time At that time there
were a dozen railroad magnates in the
country who were better known. Later
on he appeared as the controlling pow
err Of the Chicago and Alton and &C
complished its reorganization with
success that made him a power in rail-
road circles.
Since then Mr.. Hartman has been
expanding marvelously. AS a builder
up of railroad properties the world has
not seen his equal His methods are
distinctly reminiscent of those of the
late Jay Gould, but they are more mas
sive in conception Hartman is as
farsighted, quick of action and bold as
the elder Gould in his prime. Like Jay
Gould, also, he has the faculty of gath
ering about him first class executive
Men. Although he is a master of de-
tail he realizes that it is not prudent
for him to overburden himself with
matters concerning the mechanical
operation of his reads. He knows that
1t is necessary for him to save his
strength for the big things.
This man who is reputed to control
% 900 miles of American railroad has
worked silently. No flourish of trum-
nets has followed the successful out
come of a single deal of his engineer
Ing. 1t was as late as 1898 when his
name first appeared on an official no
tice. Then it was at the foot of the list

of the directors of a new company of
which, it has since been revealed. Har
rinlan was practically sole owner. He
held no Office in the company. He
wanted none. Men spoke of him as
possibly the representative of w. K.
Vanderbilt as associated with
George ]. Gould. and he was quite sat-
isfied to let it go at that.
At that time and even considerable
later no one-at least no one but ia
cob Schiff-knew exactly what sort of
man Mr. Hartman was. 1t was in 1898
that he raised the mask a trif1e. In the
spring of 1893 he stepped from the
ranks. One day he was simply one of
the directors of the Union Pacific. The
day following he was chairman of the
executive committee of that trans
continental line. Men talked wonder
ingly of him at the clubs and about the
posts on the floor of the Stock Ex
change. Still. however, he was re-
garded only as the agent. the energetic
agent. perhaps, of w X Vanderbilt.
The Union Pacific doomed prodf
giously. Never in its history had any
thing like it been known. Earnings in
creased beyond the most extravagant
dreams. All of the great roads of the
west shared this prosperity but the
Union Pacific was the star. Hartman
mounted to the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. then to the millions and at
last to the tens of millions BY the end
of 1900 he had become a financial pow
er- All those who had gone in with
him to win won. His banking house of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. became the largest
financial institution in the country out
side of the national banks.
And still Mr.. Hartman kept shady"
Men in Wall street spoke of the Union
Pacific as the Kuhn Loeb & Co. road"
The genius of the transmutation was
not yet revealed to the world eau
uously, slowly and even conservatively
ne created and fostered the credit of
the Union Pacific. He believed that in
this process alone lay the hope of his
giant schemes. In this he purposed to
erect his system of systems which
should some time. and not remotely.
lay at his feet the commerce of the
Pacific coast.
To this end Edward H Hartman

magnates of the country have ever

eEoReE WESTINGHOUSE.

George Westinghouse seems to -four
ish on opposition, and remarkably
well at that. When everybody says
it is impossible to do a thing, he does
it. They said the brake was impossi-
BILE, but for nearly forty years it has
been controlling the movements of
trains in all countries.
They said that the alternating cur
rent was impossible to use in CONNER
cial practice, but Westinghouse used it.
Then they said that it was a danger
Gus thing to have in a community, and
it would kill populations. They" were
the experts, and they tried to have
laws passed forbidding the use of this
death dealing current.
In the files of the North American
Review of about twenty years ago may
be found a we'll written and forcible
article supporting these pessimistic
contentious and warning the country
against the impracticability and dan
ger of the alternating current. The
article was written by Thomas A Edi-
son.
Westinghouse backed his belief with
