and even this pittance he turned owe
to his father.
Friend Of Children.

Perhaps the only beings with whom
Edward II. Hartman the man ever
entirely unbent were children. In New
York he was the head of great boys
institution, sort of combined gym
nasium, club and debating society, for
more than quarter of a century
AT Arden he was never so happy as
when he had an automobile load Of
little ones and was spinning about the
countryside. To them he was not the
cold business machine known to the
world. He was "Pop" Hartman, their
comrade and friend Perhaps he was
SO unreserved with the children be-
cause they did not ask him leading
questions and try to take away his
money. In the country he was as God
made him. In business he was as Wall
street made him. There is differ
ence here, one that will appear greater
the more 1t is contemplated.
Great Constructive Genius.
The best two things about Mr.. Har-
riman were that he was constructive
and had national view Of things. He
was not alone stock manipulation,
but builder. History must give him
this credit. 1t is questionable If we
have had any greater railroad build
ers than he The manner In which he
took the rundown and bankrupt Union
Pacific, went over the ground and saw

Controlled Whatever He Touched

After reading AL that list one can
wonder not only that he died so soon,
but that he lived so long, for be it
understood that Edward H. Hartman
was no mere perfunctory director.
Whatever he touched he controlled
either that or something broke. He
was not dummy. Nor could he have
controlled all these properties, only a
fraction of which he could have owned
personally. unless his business asSoci-
atCS rCposed the greatest confidence
in ni~ integrity and ability 1t was
his power of organization, of construc-
ton, his intimate knowledge Of the
whole country as it related to railroad
ing, his daring methods and his sue
He became far and away the greatest
railroad power of his day and perhaps
of any day that the country has yet
known. There may be railroad kings
in future that will control more mile
age, but none up to his own time.
His latest dream of making the New
York Central a part of his gigantic
system was coming to fruition only
when death snatched him away from
it. Even as it was, the greatest of our
railroads was listed as a Hartman
property, and its stocks moved in SYM
pathy with his group. To combine
that old and rich system with his Pa
cific roads into one gigantic whole was
the work of a financial titan. 1t was
not a thing that small man would
even have dared to plan.
Another cherished dream Of more
intimate nature was on the eve of ac-
compliShment, but was never to be
realized For more than a score Of
years Mr.. Hartman had owned an es-
tate of $4,000 acres near Arden over
looking Tuxedo Park. Here, on the top
OF one of the Ramapo mountains, he
was finishing great castle that was
to have been his home in old age.
Here he went for the latter cure
when he returned from his vain health
seeking in Europe, and here, amid the
sound of hammers as workmen COM
pleted the last wing of the house, he
breathed his last. 1t was a fitting
music to toll out the life of one whose
chief claim to mems regard is that he
was a builder.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1909-09-17
Smartest Boy of His Glass.

Another mistaken notion is that Mr..
Hartman was born in New Jersey.
He was born at Hampstead, Long Is
land, In the state Of New York, Feb.
25, 1S4S. He was the fourth child Of
q poor Episcopalian minister whose
salary sometimes amounted to as
much as $500 a year. 1t was after
the future railroad kings advent that
the family moved to Jersey, settling
In modest portion of Jersey City
Just of the Hackensack meadows. II
was not promising environment, but
there were rich relations on both sides
OF the house. The lad went to Trim
fly school In New York, walking three
miles each way, He had reputation,
which still survives, of having been
the worst boy and the smartest of his
class. At the age of fourteen he quit
school altogether and entered a bro,
kers office, The FIRST year be earned

cyclone. There is not heart beat in
the whole high finance body, how
ever many there may be in the indi-
viduals who compose 1t. And when
the bears pounded down those Harri-
man securities in the days when their
master lay i'll at Arden they merely
advertised that they had been afraid
Of the man and showed what they
would do when the fear was even a
little abated.
There are many popular misconcep-
tons concerning Hartman. One Is
that he was man with an abnor-
mally large brain, which Slapped the
life from his understood body. Harri-
mans head was not large. 1t was I'M
der rather than over the normal size.
1t was quite well proportioned to his
small stature. His body gave the i'm
preston of slightness, 1t is true, but it
was not emaciated, except In his last
illness. 1t was wiry and quick as a
steel spring. He was stopped, as are
most men who think much. He was
never a careful dresser and was quite
commonplace in appearance. But the
idea that his brain ate up his body is
a mere flight of fancy. 1t might be
said as truly of any man who is at the
head of big things in this day Of 81
gantic undertakings.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1909-09-17


was a bigger man than Gould and
better one. With all the abuse that
has been heaped upon him he is en-
titled to that which his own deeds
carved out. He was not as shrewd
q man ON the Stock Exchange as
Gould, not as foxy" perhaps, II you
like the term, but he had infinitely
bigger ideals and more audacity to
plan and execute great undertakings,
Gould was essentially financier.
Hartman was that and more, and 1t
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 and
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 CONT
nent; that these lines employ $4,000
men; that, in addition he directed 54,-
600 miles Of steamship lines, max
ing 10000 miles of transportation in
all; that one could go from New York
to Hongkong without ever leaving the
Hartman lines and that he could re-
turn by another route on Hartman
lines nearly all the way.
To show something of the mans
great activities, the mere corporations
of which he was the head or with
which he was officially connected may
give hint, although little more than a
hint. He had been member of the New
York Stock Exchange since 1870. He
was president of the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation company, president Of
the Oregon Short Line, president Of the
Southern Pacific, president Of the
Texas and New Orleans Railroad COM
pany, president Of the Southern Pa
cific Coast railway, president Of the
pany, president of the Central Pacific
Railroad company, president Of the
Louisiana and Western Railroad COM
pany, president Of Morgan's Louisiana
and Texas Railroad and Steamship
company, president of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, president Of the

of the Southern Pacific Terminal com
pany, president Of the Portland and
Asiatic Steamship company, president
of the Union Pacific, chairman Of the

director Of the San Pedro, Los Angeles

which we're rather cool the temporal

the localities where resolving has
been necessary the fields have a sat

the plant looks sound and Rigorous
and Is considered about ten days earl

of worms have been noticed in isolat-
