HARTMAN FIGHTS HILL.
Plans Final Struggle For Chicago Ter
minal.

TIahs FlnaI struggle For Chicago Ter
minal.
E. H. Hartman was in Chicago re-
Gently, planning a gigantic fight with
j. j. Hill for possession of the Chicago
Terminal Transfer railroad, over
which Hartman expects to enter Chi
cago with the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road.
Hill wants the Terminal Transfer
for his own entry into Chicago with
the Great Northern. The Terminal
was one of the properties over which
John R. Walsh had control, and is
practically the only terminal facility
left for any great system to enter Chi
cago. Through the fight for it, Walsh
hopes to rehabilitate his industrial
properties.
Hartman is now in the west upon
a tour of inspection of the Pacific
coast railroads, in which he is inter-
ested.
