ed great deal of attention in Wall
street. For many years the antagonism
which existed between the Hill Morgan
forces and the Hartman interests
caused Mr.. Harriman's relations with
the Morgan banking firm to be of the

ever, the president OF the Union Pa

the members Of the Morgan firm, and 1t
has been observed that the conferences
have had an air of cordiality that has
been puzzling to Wall street

shares had been formed by prominent
members of the stock exchange to con-

marked strength and great activity

According TO the story as circulated
the proposed corporation is to be mod
eled after the charter Of the railroad
securities company which Mr. Harri-

poration has never been questioned by
the government. A similar company
was recently formed by James j. Hill
TO take over the ore lands OF the Great

The plan, according to the rumor. Is
to turn over to the proposed corpora
