EDDIE WANTS BIG
. PRIZE FIGHT

Having tired of the sport of
building transcontinental rail-
roads, Eddie Quinn has concluded
to go back into the prize fight
game, possibly as means of
squandering his millions. Last
night at the S. A. A. G. it was an
nounced that Eddie had wired a
$4,000 offer for the Jeffries-John-
son fight, and Eddie modestly ad-
mitted designs to this extent on
the big mill. He would prefer to
have the affair installed as a Spo-
kane home industry, but if that
were impossible he didn't know
but he would have to move it
across the Idaho line. How quick
and far Jeff and Johnson jumped
at the offer is not yet known.
Eddie is ,meekly waiting results.

HARTMAN SECURES PROMISE
HARTMAN SECURES PROMISE

Pittsburgh. Pa, Feb. S.-From
Pittsburgh railroad and financial cir
Icles the news has crept forth that
George j. Gould has decided to quit
the railroad business entirely, just as
soon as he can get out. and that this
was part he can get out, and that this
was part of the promise he made to
e. H. Hartman when he importuned
Hartman to come to his assistance
in the Pittsburgh district. Hartman
Is known now to be moving toward
hitting the receiverships from the
West Side Belt. the Wheeling and
Lake Erie and the Wabash-Pitts-
burgh Terminal railroads here, which
have been plunged into financial
straits by alleged encouragement on
the part Of the Goulds.
That the Wabash entrance into
Pittsburgh cost in the neighborhood
of $40 100000 is known, and that 1t
has for some years been practically
a dead line is also known.
When President Joseph Ramsey, of
the Wabash, had the line into Pitts
burgh about completed he wished to
ist all the large contracts possible 10
firms which could do his line some
coed In relation to freight when IL
was completed. He arranged to let
some great contracts to Jones e.
Laughlin here for steel and equip
ment and was also placin gother or
ders with Pittsburgh firms.
1t appears, however, that Mr.. Gould
objected to this and let the contracts
to outside firms, from which the
Wabash could not hope to derive
benefits in the way of freight.
Then ensued the memorable fight
between Ramsey and Gould for con-
|troi OF the Wabash. II is known here
that among those back of Rameey
we're John d. Rockefeller and Will
Ham Whitney. Gould outvoted Ram
sey for the presidency by small
margin at the Toledo meeting OF the
Wabash, later placing his own man
lin control. t.
Miss Helen Gould Is said to have
been most bitterly outspoken against
her brothers taking charge OF mat
tiers himself. When the crash came
at Pittsburgh and II was necessary
for some one with millions to come
to the relief Of the Could terminals,
Hartman was the first on hand, and,
according to the Pittsburgh informa-
ton, only agreed to take a hand on
the promise OF George Gould to ''get
out of the game" altogether.
