ment before the house committee on
the election of the president, etc, in
support of the theory that a law re-
ouiring campaign contributions to be

HARTMAN GETS ERIE
Secures Control Of Big Eastern
Sys.,sm by Clever Coup.
LITTLE CASH is NECESSARY

continental Railroad Seems Likely
to Become q Reality at No Dis.
tant Date.
New York, April 11--Following the
action of e. H. Hartman in providing
ls5, ,o00,0 for the payment of matur.
ing notes it is said in Wall street that
the Erie road will shortly pass under
the absolute control of Mr.. Hartman
and his associates, who stand ready
to spend under certain conditions
from $20,O00O0o to $40,O00,O00 for i'm
provements and terminals, tunnels,
trackage and rolling stock
The story of how Hartman made
the big deal reads like a story from
the Arabian Nights.
First he learned that the Erie was
going to have hard time getting the
money to meet its obligations of s5,.
100000, which matured Thursday.
Then, through interests allied with
him, he made sure that no banking
establishment would advance the nee.
essary cash.
Next he allowed alarming reports
OF the Erie's difficulties to be pub
lished broadcast, so that the holders
of the short term notes would become
alarmed and sell them at panic prices.
Then he sent agents into the mar.
ket, who picked up $5,000,000 of the
notes at so cents on the dollar, an in.
vestment of $4,00O,000.
Finally, he made his spectacular
offer, which, at the last minute, saved
the Erie railroad from a receivership
Not an Expensive Deal.
The offer looked as If he were going
to put UP an immense sum, just out
of pure philanthropy, but there was a
string tied to it. 1t was for the pur.
chase of new 6 per cent notes sufii
cient to pay of all the old notes whose
holders would not accept new notes al
par
Mr.. Hartman already owned SIS,
100000 of the $5500,00O notes, so Il
/
| 100000 more ia cash. He even got
back a part of this, because certain
| spectators had sold notes they did
not own and in order to deliver the
goods were forced to pay a premium
And now all the financial world is
| standing aghast at the result.
The requirement by Mr.. Hartman
of transcontinental line is the part
Of the deal which appeals most tc
railway men. If his plans are com
| pleted Mr.. Harriman's dream of per
fectly equipped, complete transcon
tinental railroad, with Erie as the
Eastern outlet, will have come true
Although Ii cannot be stated with GER
taipty how soon 1t will be before the
Morgan interests cease to dominate
Erie those who claim to be in the
confidence of Mr.. Hartman predict
that this will be accomplished at nc
distant date.
