NEW YORK LINES HARRIMAwS
Resignation of Newman from Presi-
dency Gives Credence to
g Theory.

with the resignation of william II. New
nan as president OF the New York Cen
trail, rumors are again strong in railroad
circles that the New York Central is to
become a part OF the great Hartman sys-
tenn OF roads and thus extend the Harrl-
man Jurisdiction from the Atlantic to the
Pacific over one unbroken chain of roads.
The Hartman dream of a complete trans
continental line from the Atlantic to the
Pacific would thus become realized.
The enofmity of such a move may be
realized when It is stated that this would
give the Hartman systems ea-total mile
age of nearly 1900, with outstanding stocks
and bonds Of 81. Az, 100000.
Immediately after the resignation Of
President Newman was announced. New
York Central stock took a jump of three
points and this is believed to have been
caused by a belief in closer relationship
between the Hartman lines ard the New
York Central. Reports from Wall street
even go so far as to declare that the pass
ing Of the control Of the 1900 miles Of the
New York Central has already been ac-
compllshed, and that Hartman was only
waiting for February / when the resigna-
ton OF Mr.. Newman will be effective.
Gould Lines Previously Secured.
A glance at the railroad map of this
country, Immediately shows what the con-
troll Of the New York Central by the Har-
riman lines would really mean. The change
would be even greater when accomplished,
than that of last summer, when it was an
nounced that the domination OF the traffic
Of the 1900 miles Of the Gould system was
about to pass under the control of one
man, e. H. Hartman. This move was ex-
pected last summer after Hartman had
secured an entering wedge by providing
the Wheeling & Lake Erie with 5000. 900
to rellve 1t from impending bankruptcy.
The New York Central is one of the
strongest and best constructed and operated
roads in the country. and with it under his
control the roads under Harriman's sway
would be:

Newman a CentraIiaer.

President Newman has been using some
of the Hartman policies on the New York
Central, and since 1901, when he assumed
the presidency, It has been his scheme to
reorganize the New York Central lines into
one system. a work which has taken years
to accomplish and a work which it is said
will ever stano as a monument to Mr.. New
mans executive ability. 1t was Mr.. New
man who thought of uniting the New York
Central, the Lake Shore and other Wander
bilt roads irto one system with the same
traffic officials and other head officials, in
stead of having each road run as a separate
line. When the plan was finally carried out
1t resulted in a great saving of expense and
in an increase of business.
Mr.. Newma started as a station agent
in Texas and II was Jay Gould who discov-
cred his ability and made him traffic man
ager Of his lines. He became vice presi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific, and vice pres
ident of the Great Northern; next president
OF the Lake Shore, and when S. r. Gallo
way resigned he was made president of
the New York Central.
1t is thought w. C. Brown. vice presi-
dent of the New York Central and form
erly general manager of the Burlington,
will succeed Mr.. Newman.

our diplomatic and consular officers.
The orders telegraphed by the war
and navy departments direct the half

the badge Of mourning until July 25S
and the firing Of salutes every half
hour from sunrise to sunset tomorrow,
the day of the funeral, at all posts,
