HARTMAN MOURNED
IN FINANCIAL WORLD
Continued from Third Page.)

Gould fortune was between seventy-five
and eighty million dollars.
The interstate commerce commission
pried into the transfer books of the big
gest railroads last January to ascertain
who were the real owners of the trans
continental railways, and 1t was disclosed
that E. H Hartman was by far the larg-
est holder. He had S116,OOO,OOO in the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific alone,
10000 shares of New York Central labout
81, 100000 par value). $6,770,OO0 in Great
Northern (more than James ]. Hill him.
selD, and $2,OS0,O0O in Northern Pacific.
He owned actual control of the Central
railroad of Georgia.
Made Name After .Fiftieth Year.
When the Erie railroad was on the
verge of bankruptcy in April Morgan had
refused to "carry"'the road over its tenn
porary crisis.
Probably a large part of the stock In
the Pacific roads registered in his name
was only held as trustee. It is probable
that Mr.. Hartman leaves a fortune not
much in excess Of 100000 600.
The most amazing thing about Harri-
mans acQuisitions-so typical of the pro-
digious results possible only in this coun-
try-iS the fact that until he was forty
five he was only moderately well-to-dO,
living in q modest New York house; was
known only as minor vice president of
one railroad. was not rated particularly
high as a Stock Exchange trader even by
his associates, and was almost unknown
to the public.
With the reorganization of the bank
rupt Union Pacific railroad in 1897, twelve
years ago, when he was In his hftieth
year, he suddenly emerged from posi-
ton of third or fourth rate importance in
the railroad world to that of master. and
nearly all of his reputation and practi-
cally all Of his fortune were made after
his fiftieth year.

accomplished Great Things"
John w. Gates said:
'Mr. Hartman was one of the great
est railroad men in the world. He ac-
complished great things. It is too bad
that he has been cut of in the prime of
his usefulness and that others will have
to carry out his plans. I am sincerely
sorry"
Regarding the effect OF Mr.. Harriman's
death on the market Mr.. Gates said
IT believe that the market today
will close higher than it opens. The
nervousness displayed in the street when
Mr.. Hartman was Ill and his exact con-
dition was more or less unknown VIII
disappear with his DEATH. We may look
to see the stocks with which Mr.. Harri-
man was most closely connected go up
today"
Henry clews. speaking Of Mr.. Harri-
man, said:
"A very important factor to the rail-
roads of this country has been removed
by his demise and one that will never
be replaced, in my opinion. largely be-
cause the forthcoming laws will doubt
less make it impossible for any one to
dominate the interstate railroad situation
hereafter by his methods. Mr.. Harri-
man was certainly an unusually forceful
man, untiring and energetic in his field
Of action. He was q bold and astute
speculator and was genius OF the con-
structive order In the railroad world.

RoOSeveIt'S Famous
Tilt With Hartman

It was in 1907 that Mr.. Hartman fig
ured in a political controversy Of con-
siderable importance, involving the name
of Theodore Roosevelt, then President of
the United States. Through a disgrun-
tied stenographer there was brought to
light letter written by Mr.. Hartman to
Sidney Webster, lawyer, in which Mr..
Hartman complained that the Roosevelt
administration had not treated him fairly
after he had been instrumental in raising
$225,0O0 for the campaign Of 1904. The
letter ended with the now famous ques-
ton, Where do l stand?'
Mr.. Roosevelt was greatly incensed at
the sentiments expressed in the letter
and came forth with his letter, now
equally famous, which originated the ex-
preston Undesirable citizen"
To strengthen his side of the case Mr..
Hartman then produced letter signed
Theodore Roosevelt and dated October
IA, 1904. two weeks before Mr.. Roose-
velts election to the presidency in that
year. The letter. with the word per
sonal" inscribed at the top. was as fol-
lows:
MY Dear Mr.. Harriman-A suggestion
mas come to me in a roundabout way
that you do not think 1t wise to come on
to see me In these closing weeks Of the
campaign, but that you are reluctant to
refuse, inasmuch as 1 have asked you.
Now. my dear sir, you and I are prac-
tical men, and you are on the ground and
know the conditions better than do. If
you think there is any danger Of your
visit to me causing trouble, or If you think
there is nothing special l should be In
formed about, or no matter in which /
could give aid, why, of course, give up
the visit for the time being, and then a
few weeks hence, before 1 write my
message, I shall get you to come down to
discuss certain government matters not
connected with the campaign. With great
regards.
'Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
A great deal of correspondence on both
sides of the case was produced after this
and it came out that in 1906 Mr. Harri-
man declined to contribute to the republi-
can congressional campaign fund on the
ground that it was useless fNr him to do
SO. 1t was long after this that the fed
eral investigation Of the lines &Mnder his
control was begun.

NEW YORK. September 10-In specu-

names of six of Mr.. Harriman's asso-
ciates are mentioned. They are those
Of Judge r. 8. Lovett, vice president

of the Erie, and w. c. Brown, the New

CHICAGO, Ill.,, September 1O-Specula-
tion as to Harriman's probable successor
is arousing much interest here. No Of
fetal information Is expected until after
the next meeting of the Union and South
ern Pacific directors. and the opinion of
railroad men seemed divided yesterday as
to whether one man would succeed to
Harriman's titles and power or whether
the executive work of the system would
be distributed among the men who are
now In active charge.
In case a new president is elected it is
believed in Chicago that 1t will be one of
and the head of the legal department OF
the system; Julius Kruttschnitt, who has
supreme control over the physical property
and operation, or ]. G. Stubbs, who has
charge of all traffic affairs, rates and the
handling of the vast commerce annually
transported over the Hartman system.
Upon assuming the presidency of prac-
tically all the corporations composing
these two great systems Mr.. Hartman
was confronted with the problem Of de-
signing an organization that would eco.

operation without imposing upon him any

This he did by creating two unique po.
sitions in the railroad world-the Office OF

REAL BONANZA

G. S. Work arrived in Tonopah

quicksilver every twenty-four hours,
and they have about nine tons of the
mercury in TASKS awaiting shipment
At present the plant is closed while
the new retort is being installed and
when it is finished the plant will be
run to its full capacity. The dyke
from which the cinnibar ore is ex-
tracted is about forty feet wide and
has been exposed for distance of
over 5000 feet. The ore is of high
grade quality and there is enough in
