HARTMAN AND HILL,
Railroad Rivals March Arm-in-A Arm
Down Pine Street.

NEW YORK. September 13.-Wall street
was interested yesterday in a detailed &C
count circulated in the street Of the way
in which E. H. Hartman and James J.
Hill. rivals in the western railroad field,
walked arm-in-arm down Pine street from
Nassau street to William street accompa-
MED by George F. Baker. president of the
First National Bank. and Otto H. Kahn.
1t appears that they met casually at the
entrance to the Equitable building In Mas
sau street. near Pine. and being bound In
the same direction they went arm-in arm
instead of cycling each other to see which
should strike the first bow.
The latter form Of march. 1t was thought
In Wall street would better have carried
out the popular impression Of the attitude
of the two men toward each other. though.
as q matter Of fact the meetings of the
great railroad rivals have always been of
the pleasantest kind.

Of his race
Rev. J. P. Bryant. d. D.. of Atlanta. Ga.
chairman of the national B. Y. p. U. board,
said: I'VE hope to be able to get the
young negro to consider life from a serious
standpoint. to let them see that they can
not afford to throw away their money and
time. but to have bank accounts. to buy
property and become substantial citizens.
This will be worth more to US than
thousand race leaders who go over the
country with no object in this world except
to be race leaders. The negro race is in
need of upright men and women and not
so many leaders. Let us produce men"

NEW YORK. September flowing TO
the Generalization of the copper industry
some stock market observers. who had
been extremely conservative since the frst
of the year. but who recently had come to
believe that there would be very little
change in general business. are now afraid
that the iron and steel industry and vari-
other lines will suffer, in proportion
to the falling OF that has taken place IN
the demand for copper metal 1t Is real
lied, of course. that there has been over
extension in many lines of business. and
that the real estate situation in some re-
spects has been unsound for some time.
Therefore, they would not be at all sur
prised to see the much-talked-of general
depression in business recession take place
within the next few months.
X
While such turn in affairs would Of
course. trouble and suffering for
those most directly interested, 1t is pointed
out that the ultimate results would be de-
cidedly beneficial to the whole situation
1t Is pointed out that the lack of money
was the chief cause of the present condi-
ticn in the copper industry. and that II
the mines of the large producers are closed
down temporarily, the money market will
be very much relieved The same desir-
able results would come from a general
slackening in business. Those who are
in a position to know the condition of
affairs throughout the United States say
that Wall street interests should not be-
come too pcssfmistic. because the country
as whole Is prosperous. developing rapid
~, and that no serious general breakdown
IS likely to occur
1t is realized that there are some decided
ly weak spots in the situation such as was
indicated by the developments In Philadel-
phia yesterday A man who has been act
I've in financial affairs In that city for some
years said this morning that he did not
tn nix that anything more serious than q
further shrinkage in market values Is like
ly to develop In stock exchange circles in
that city. AS he understands the situation,
there Is lack of ready funds there and at
other important centers to carry on the
business that has been undertaken. With
generally easier monetary conditions he
thinks that the local situation and others
will be cleared UP.
1t Is understood that a prominent bank
ing house In this city, which has been ex-
tremely conservative for many months, has
In the last two days loaned $4,000. 900 in
Wall street and that good part Of it was
put out for six months at about per cent.
In some circles this is regarded as a highly
significant and important factor for 1t Is
argued that the firm would not thus deplete
its resources If its members were appre-
hensive of any serious developments in the
near future or If they believed that money
was not going to work easier
