Wall Street Hears Hartman Con-
trolls Phila. & Reading.
NEW LINE FROM EAST TO WEST
Connection From shippenshurs to
Johnstown For Fast Passenger
Service Over Two Roads.

Service Over Two Roads.
A dispatch from New York says:
Edward H. Hartman apparently
has transferred his interest to Eastern
roads, and, according to statement
which will appear in Wall Street
paper today, has engineered a project
which will place the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Co. in the Hartman
list and give the Baltimore and Ohio
am entrance into New York city over
its own rails and make him a billion
dollar railroad magnate'
Another important feature con-
nected with the construction Of a
short link in Central Pennsylvania,
thus connecting the Baltimore and
Ohio with the Reading, the Baltimore
and Ohio would be given as short and
as good a line between Chicago and
st. Louis and New York as tflat of any
one company.
There is every reason to believe
that the present offer for the Lake
Shore holdings of the Lehigh Valley
will be accepted in the near future.
'Rumors were thrown thick and
fast recently that the Lake Shore
and the Baltimore and Ohio as we'll
have been liquidating their holdings OF
Reading I'm the open market"
The Baltimore and Ohio is now a
large stoclzholder in the Reading Com
pany. which owns the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad and the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company. The Reading stocks in the
Baltimore and Ohio treasury amount
to about 10000, 900, and the Lake
Shore holds like amount. 1t fs as
stunned that if Mr. Hartman is sue
cessful in carrying out his plan re-
garding the Reading that the stock
he may acquire win be placed with
the Baltimore and Ohio, of which he
is credited with controlling.
Now Uses Reading.
The Baltimore and Ohio now uses
the Reading and the Central New Jer-
sey. which the Reading controls, in
reaching New York 1t has it's own
lime to Twenty-fourth and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia, but from that
point uses the Reading, with which it
he's long-term traffic contract. The
Reading takes charge of all its trains
I'm Philadelphia even putting ON its
own engines and train crews.
AT the present time all Baltimore
and Ohio trains for the West are run
via Baltimore and Washington The
route over the Baltimore and Ohio to
Chicago is much longer than on the
Pennsylvon.a, and it has been put to a
severe test to compete with the PENN
sylvania, which has the shortest
route for the passenger business be-
tween the Windy City and New York.
Should the link be built in Central
Pennsylvania connecting the Reading
and the Baltimore and Ohio, it 10
probable that it would e from Ship
pensburg to Berlin or Johnstown. The
distance between the two lines at
these points Us shorter than at any
other. Baltimore and Ohio officldis
nrofess to know nothing about the re
ports concerning the property.
