 MINNESOTA RATE HEARING.

 of Northern Pacific.

Big Profits Made Ky Reorganization
 of Northern Pacific.
 St. Paul. Minn.. July 29-That J. P. Morgan and Company and others in the syndicate that re-organiEed the North ern Pacific Railroad in 1896 made 8 profit of $22,202.3 .3s3. was what the at- torneys for the state attempted to es- tablish today at the Minnesota rate hearing.
 Attorneys for the railroad. however. contended that these figures repre- sent the par value of the stock in- volved and that the stock at that time was not worth par. They further con tend that he question of whether J. P. Morgan and Company made a large fee in connection with the reorganization has nothing to do with what the Northern Pacific road is worth today.
 It is on the present worth that they expect to earn an adequate return.
 H. A Cray controller of the North ern Pacific testified that the re-organi- zatien was perfected by calling in the stock of the old company in the hands of the public and Issuing the new stock on the payment by the stockholders of an assessment of s1O a share on pre- ferred stock and SIS on common. Not all the old stockholders are willing to pay these assessments. so the syndicate paid them and took over the stock.

FRIENDLY RELATIONS
HARTMAN AND GOULD INTERESTS
 GET TOGETHER.
A Lengthy Conference Was Hela Yes- terday Between the Two RafIrona- Magnates and New York
 Banking Firms,

New York. July 29.--A conference to- day between George J. Gould. head of the Gould Railroad system; E. H. Hartman. president of the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific Raiiroads and representatives of the banking firms of Kuhn. Loeb and Company and Blair and Company was accented .as giving substance to the report that Mir. Hartman and his associates are about to stay upon friendly arrange ment with Mir. Gould which will har- monfze the relations Of Gould and liar riman railroad interests,
 One of the immediate results of this and other similar conferences Is ex- pected to be the financing of ss, 900 900 of notes of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad Company. which fall due next Saturday and which are guaran- teed by the Wabash Railroad. Both of these roads are Gould properties. Blair and Company. who participated in today's conference. have financed the Gould properties extensively in recent years, while Kuhn, Loeb and Company have been associated with Mir. Hartman in some large financial undertakings. One of the financial in- terests stated late today that the Wheeling and Lake Erie situation would be settled in a satisfactory taihHuST. At ls expected that formal statement of some plan for meeting the notes will be made public by MT. Gould tomorrow.
 In Wall street the belief prevails that F.. H. Hartman Is likely to f1g- ure prominently in any financial sup- port which may be given to the Gould properties. It is fbelieved that he will accept place in the Wheeling ana Lake Erie directorate and that this will be followed by an alliance or at least working agreement between that road and the Erie. Rumor fur ther has 1t that the Hartman fn- fluences will be used to improve the physical condition of the Gould reads in return for which the Erie will get a large share of Pittsburg tonnage now carried by the Wheeling and Lake Erie
 MT. Hartman declined to discuss any phase of the Gould situation to- day.
