TO CONNECT THE BRIDGES

finally approved contemplates the utilization OF
the Williamsburg Manhattan and Brooklyn
bridges and provision Of n short loop on this
side Of East River.
As originally planned. the Mcdonald subway
aimed To supply an entirely new transportation
system 10 Brooklyn and not an outlet for exist
ing lines in that borough. Moreover. though
there had been some uncertainty about the in
terests which It's author represented. he was
suspected Of working for the InteTbOTOugh Com-
pany. Recent developments confirm that sus

lessee will have monopoly of the loop In Man
haitian, even though the underground route in
Brooklyn were used only hy a single company.
Provision s To he made for four tracks and
not merely two, was first proposed The
portion Of the system lying on this side Of East
River will be constructed first. II is announced.

therefore, that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
NEW YORK, June II, 1907
1 asked one of the wise men of Wall street
whether it is true, as reported frequently
in the newspapers, that the great finan-
ciers and railway managers have picked Mr..
Hartman for Jonah and have decided to
throw him overheard an awful example
to propitate the White House.
For time after the sensational dsclos-
ures about the Alton transaction and the
March panic some of the Wall street lead
ers tried to throw him down." replied my
friend; but II. II. Rogers and the Rookie
Teller crowd stood by him to the limit. Sew
eral of his associates got out from under.
Some of them tried to break him and in
sisted upon his withdrawal from the active
control of the properties with which he is
connected, but Hartman wouldn't listen to
them minute. He seems to be stronger
than ever and hasn't lost mile of road.
He is the last person in the world to lay
down. Hartman always fights to win. He
gives no quarter and he asks none.
Men who get in his way are apt to have
trouble. while those who betray him or try
to trip him had better get out of the bust
ness before he has time to settle.
His associates have quit fighting him on
the inside. but he has army of enemies
on the street. The iEcessant hammering
has impaired confidence, and the big pub
lie throughout the country is distrustful on
account of the enmity of the President and
the sensational reports concerning the in
tentions of the interstate commerce COM
mission and the Department of Justice. But
these are only temporary Public opinion
is supreme. 1t takes some time for it to
develop and express itself. It is usually as
slow as proceedings in court, but it gets
there all the same, and when it makes up
its mind whether Hartman Is a villain or
an empire builder, it will render its de-
ciSiOn.'

the ships motion. smoking always tie corn

them he selected that on which he should

on the socket of the steel hook. and In two

growing of thanks.

smiling full at him. Now what are you
