New York. Sept. 9.-From early
manhood a commanding figure in Wall
street activity Hartman in 1897
gained foothold which raised him to
place among the half dozen financial
giants of the age The Union Pacific

terests whose brains and capital bad

man, backed by Kuhn Loeb and Go

ed the controlling interests, re-organ.
lied tho management and through
tnanscendent genirg converted the
bankrupt company into one Of the
best dividend payers. In this and the
later Southern Pacific operations, his
policy was lavish expenditure which
made the properties as nearly perfect
as possible, This policy was contia-
ued on all the Hartman lines.
Harriman's most spectacular per
formance was when he struggled with
the Morgan-HiIl interests for the con
! troll of the Northern Pacific in May
| 1901. The Northern Pacific corner
| resulted in the stock going to $1,000
| At the SHOW down, Hartman pro
luced SIS 5000 0OO OF the stock ont Of 8
total of $155,900,000 However, the
| Hill-Morgan people held the win
hand through a bylaw permitting tn,
retirement of the preferred stock. Oi
his holdings $l1O00,000 was preferred
stock, but Hartman secured a com
promise and he and some of his asso
ciates were elected directors of tho
Northern Pacific.
Hartman began railroading in 1879.
when he was elected a director of thf
Illinois Central He was then worth
a million He established relations
with James Stillman and Jacob Sehifi
and his influence in Wall street eS
banded. In 1891, when he attempted
to re-organize the Erie, he had a
fight with the Morgan interests IN
which Hartman was soundly whip
ped Undaunted he equipped himself
Tor the successful undertaking ol
Union Pacific.
Hartman was born at Hampstead
Long Island, Feb, %, 1915; the son OF
an Episcopal rector in humble cir
cumstances At l6 he was employed
in brokers' office in Wall street
In 1870, at the age of %, he bought a
seat in the stock exchange and paid

He was devoid of sentiment in bust
ness, as shown when he ousted Presi

had probably done as much to helr
Hartman as any living man and Q

arrived this evening and was met by
Secretary Grosvenor, Of the National
Geographical society of Washington
