KEENE SUES
 HARTMAN

New York, March S.-James R. Keene has sued E. H. Hartman to gain part of the profits. Hartman acknowledged before the Interstate out of the Southern Pacific stocks. The writ was issued today Keene is also taking steps to sue the bank ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, which handled the financial end of some of the big Southern Pacific deals. It is understood that the present action against Hartman is in con- nection with the sale, four and half years ago, of 3O0,00O shares of treasury stock to William Rockefel- Ter, which transaction was intended to defeat Keene's purpose of gain ing control of the Southern Pacific stock. He had bought it far below 70 when he was convinced that the stock was earning about per cent. He called on Hartman in the name of the stockholders to declare div idends. Before the time came to vote on the proposition Vim. Rocke- Teller appeared wit11 the 3oo,000 shares of treasury stock that had been sold to him secretly. Harri- man asserted the earnings were to be put into Improvements instead of distributing them to the stock holders.
