A FOREGONE CONCLUSION
Never Entertained to Insti-

tute Criminal Proceedings Against
Hartman.
New York. June S.-The decision of
the federal authorities not to institute
criminal proceedings against E. II.
Hartman in connection with his rail
road operations was the principal sub
iect of discussion on Wall street today
MIR. Hartman is spending the Gay
at his country home and his associates
while showing their satisfaction at the
news from Washington did not care 20
discuss the matter for publication.
Interests friendly to Mr.. Hartman
sac in the latest turn of affairs a dis
position on the part of the government
to abandon it's case against the So
called Hartman lines, and Wall street
processes to believe that the entire
matter will soon cease to be a stool:
market factor.
The idea that Mr.. Hartman wouidr
be criminally prosecuted was never
very seriously entertained in financial
circles. In the first place, Mr.. Harri-
mans friends say that there has never
been any basis for such action.
1t is also pointed out that most of
tie alleged illegal acts imputed to Nj.
Hartman and his associates are barr
ed by the statue of limitations.
The stock markets response to the
news was a substantial rise in the
hartman issues with corresponding
advances elsewhere in the list.
