HARRIMAN'S DEATH
CAUSES SENSATION

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The announce
ment of Mr.. Harriman's death caused
an immense sensation throughout New
York city, particularly in Wall street
and in financial circles, where Harrl-
man had been dominating personality.
The stock exchange had closed, and
throngs of bankers and brokers were
moving homeward as the first word
of the financier's death spread with
lightning-like rapidity among them.
At first 1t was received with incred-
ulity, as a repetition of similar reports
in circulation recently, but vertical
tion came quickly and soon the cry of
''extra!'' along Wall street carried the
details of the financiers death.
Everywhere the news was received
with evidence of deep feeling, and with
the recognition that the career of one
of the worlds greatest financial pow
ers had come to close.
The same profound impression was
reflected in uptown business quarters,
and the sentiment of sympathy and re-
gret was universal.
Greatest Achievement
The great achievement of Mr.. Harri-
mans career as financier and railroad
manager, was the rehabilitation of the
Union Pacific railway system. Mr.. Har-
riman undertook this herculean task
when he was nearly 80 years of age
and after he had once practically re-
tired from business.
Other financiers had failed signally
to put the property on a paying basis,
but Mr. Hartman, following the reor-
ganization of the Union Pacific in 1897
began a systematic plan to place the
properties in the best possible condi-
tion for their maintenance at a high
standard Of efficiency.
1t was his policy to keep his railroads
in the best working condition, conf
dent that sooner or later the question
of dividends would care for itself
To the task he had undertaken Mr.
Hartman gave unfiagging industry and
It was his constant work that brought
on the final breakdown in his health.
Stomach trouble developed more than
a year ago and medical treatment gave
no relief. This summer he went to Eu-
rope to consult the greatest specialists
there, but was not benefited.
On his return to this country he
went at once to his magnificent coun-

ODELL SAYS WEALTH

GREATEST LIFE GOAL

NEwBIJRGH, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Ben-
iannin B. Odell, former governor Of
New York, Mr.. Harriman's closest
personal friend, said tonight:
"Wealth was not his goal. Rather he
aimed to do those things that would
make his name synonymous with the
broadest national progress.
my own more or less Intimate as
sociation with him gave me opportu-
mites to study the man. His life was
devoted essentially to building ur
rather than to tearing down, and while
many wondered at his daring, there
never was a doubt in his own mind as
to his ultimate success in everything
undertaken.

Hartman and the future will demon

characterized his work"

Hoarded His Money

One of the most inveterate hoarders
on record was George w. Not only was
he averse to destroying books and
papers, but he preserved everything
that could possibly be kept.
When he died all the suits OF
clothes he had worn for twenty years
were discovered and sold by public
auction. His executors also found
secreted in various desks, drawers and
cupboards numerous purses and pock-
etbooks crammed full of money, to
the extent, it is said, of 100000. to-
gether with more sentimental treasures
in the form of locks of hair from the
tresses of forgotten beauties OF the

AUTHENTIC HISTORY
OF t1ARRIMAN'S LIFE
RY LANES A. EDGARroN.

There have been few single figures in
the world of finance the mere rumors
of whose illness would radically affect
so many stocks as did that of the late
Edward Henry Hartman. On his re-
cent return from Europe the great stock
exchange in Wall street spent nearly
one whole day in suspense. Buying and
selling were at a standstill. Everything
depended upon the health of the title
man coming up the bay. If he should
prove to be on the road to recovery up
would go Union Pacific, Central Pacific
and other securities under his control

WEST FEELS MOSTLY
DEATH OF HARTMAN

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Though Mr..
Hartman is dead his tremendous in
terests will be carried on without in
terruption. So firm is the foundation
of his great constructive work in the
railroad world and so thoroughly or
ganized are his varied interests that
no fear is felt.
1t is in the west that Mr. Hartman
leaves his greatest monument of rail-
road construction work, but here in
New York whence he directed his great
enterprises his death was perhaps more
keenly felt.
First word that his end had come
did not reach the financial district un-
til long after 8 o'clock, a time when
trading on the exchange had ceased
for the day.
New York watched with sympathy
Harriman's long fight against his last
illness. From June 1, when he sailed
to take the cure at Bad Gastein, in
Austria, reports began to circulate
that the master of the Union Pacific
was in a serious way.
Cheerful Reports
From abroad came daily accounts of
his treatment and his cheerful and oft
repeated statement that he was i'm
proving and would be soon himself
again.
This optimism was characteristic of
the man whose grit and determination
to get well and resume work on the
vast plans he had laid out was remark
able. But Mr.. Hartman did not i'm
prove abroad as his physicians had ex-
pected, and he returned to New York
on August Is, as he announced, to
take an after-cure."
Mr.. Hartman arrived in New York
weak and emaciated, but brave and
cheerful in his determination to over
come his ailment. An interview he
gave the newspapers upon his return
from Europe was under most dramatic
circumstances Surrounded by more
than a score of reporters as he lay
upon couch in his private car in
Jersey city, Mr. Hartman, against the
advice Of his family and physicians,
talked cheerfully and freely of his ex-
periences abroad and of his plans for

His Greatest Monument


Hartman has often been compared
to Jay Gould. In my own opinion, he
was a bigger man than Gould and a
better one. With all the abuse that
has been -aped upon him he is en-
titled to that which his own deeds
carved out. He was not as shrewd
a man on the stock exchange as
Could not as foxy" perhaps, if you
like the term, but he had infinitely
bigger ideals and more audacity to
plan and execute great undertakings.
Gould was essentially a financier.
Hartman was that and more, and it
is the "more" that will redeem him.
The romance of the Pacific railroads
and steamship lines and of his other
great railroad deals cannot be wiped
off the slate. Whatever we may think
of Hartman in Wall street or Harri-
man in politics or Hartman in in
surance or Hartman in Chicago &
Alton, his work on the Pacific empire,
both this side and on the seas, will
fire the imagination and compel re-
spect. Good and evil mingle in all
men. This is the good of Hartman.
1t is his greatest monument.
1t was recently stated that Harri-
man controlled $4,000 miles of rail-
way, or six times across the conti-
nent; that these lines employ $4,000
men; that, in addition, he directed 54-
900 miles of steamship lines, making
72 900 miles of transportation in all;
that one could go from New York to
Hongkong without ever leaving the
