FURTHER ADVANCE
IN HARTMAN STOCKS
No Attention Paid to Rumors
Of Flight for Control

New York. Sept. 13.-The Hartman
Issues we're a sensational feature Of
the session Of the stock exchange.
Union Pacific common and preferred
and Southern Pacific COMMON opened
without material change but before
long Union Pacific was up to 80, a
gain Of 37s, and the preferred stock
was selling at 114, an advance OF tx.
while Southern Pacific was up full
point. Dealings TN these stocks, to-
gether with Reading and United
States Sized, dominated the entire
maske&. pho advance IN uhe Haxzk
man stocks WAS attribneed largely to
further short covering. Little atten-
ton was paid to rumors Of fight for
control Of those properties. United
States Steel was relatively weak on
selling for profit. Fluctuations In Un-
ion Pacific particularly were very r.
regular, the stock advancing from 2o7
to 210B and then back to 208$. The
rest OF the HIST was fairly firm. but
dull. Business fell off in the second
hour and the market became very
heavy, practically all the early gains
being lost. This was true not only
of the Hartman stocks, but of Read
ing, United States Steel, the Rock
Island issues and most other securi-
ties in the active group.

HARTMAN KNEW
DEATH WAS Near.
Had Conference With ]. P.
Morgan on Sept, |.
FEARED BREAK in PRICES

Dying Man Anticipated What Might
Happen When the End Came and
He Summoned New Yorl<'s Leading
Flnanoler to Discuss Plans to Sup
port the Market 4
Arden. N. T., Sept. ! One of the
last men to talk with b. H. Hartman
before the relapse that ended In his
death was ]. P. Morgan. I.
The nnancier came to Arden house
Bent. I. when the encouraging, i'm
provsmeot noted In Mr.. Harriman's
condition was at It's height, and in
spite of his bodily weakness the head
OF the Union Pacific system was as
well fitted to discuss business as at
any time in his life. For nearly an
hour tho two leaders Of finance sat on
the porch in the san. It Is believed
that at this conference plans were laid
to support the financial market In the
event OF Mr.. Harriman's death or in
case his health forced him to abandon
all business activity.
When this conference occurred Mr..
Hartman knew he was a dying man,
although he kept this information from
his family and steadily encouraged
their belief that he would get we'll.
No one saw more clearly than Mr..
Hartman what would probably hap
pen when he died. For the sake of
thousands Of railroad stockholders, as
we'll az for his own interests, he knew
that unless the strongest money power
in the country "got under" the market
the effect of his death would be disas-
trous. This, without doubt, Is why he
called In Mr.. Morgan.

THE STATE FOREST FIRE Law.

The railroads of Minnesota will
fight the forest fire law enacted by
the last legislature. The law re-
quires the railroads to have patrol
on every mile through timber dis
tricts in dry seasons, and requires
them to burn or remove all combust-
ible material from their rights of
way. The fight has already CON-
menced in Beltrami county, two
cases wherein fines where imposed
on railway companies for failure to
provide patrols having been appealed
to the district court.-Fertile Jour
nal.
The appeals referred to were
cases against the Great Northern
Railway, and the Crookston Lumber
company, which owns the logging
road extending from Wilton to
Island Lake. The Great Northern
has settled it's case by paying the
fine and costs imposed by the
Justice court; but the lumber COM
pany will take its case into the
district court for trial at the term
which is now being held in this
city, and the outcome will be watch
ed with interest.
1t is also stated that the lumber
companies object to the provision
of the forestry law as to the
manner in which that law provides
for the destruction of slashings.
The law adopted at the last session
of the legislature did not affect
slashings made prior to the adoption
of the law; hence a considerable
quantity of logging refuse was left
which the new law could not affect.
This winters slashings will come un-
der the provision of the new law,
and the companies are awaiting an
Interpretation of the law as to these
slashings.
