HARTMAN REPORTED
TOBE AFTER SEABOARD
The Great Wizard Of Finance is Now In the
South Looking Over Situation.

connection with his other railroad
properties.
II Mr.. Ryan Is wOrkina with Mr..
Hartman now In this matter IL is
thought that he believes that I'm the
forthcoming Industrial boom In the
South. Hartman win be in a position
to do more for the SeabOard than any
other man OF interest. Hartman has
for a long time been trying to get into
the railroad field In the South, and the
saebOard offers about the only oppOr-
tunIty that is open TO him.
The Southern railway is firmly in
the hands Of the Morgan people, as Is
Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville &
Nashville, while control of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Norfolk and West
ern roads are so firmly anchored that
not even the genius Of Mr.. Hartman
In getting what he wants can change
their control
About two or three years ago when
the ownership Of the Central Of Geor-
gia was floating about Mr. Hartman
quietly got control OF that property
and aside from his ownership Of the
Illinois Central. this was his first
step into the South proper He is
supposed TO have got control OF some
street railway lines In Augusta and
Aiken az about the same time.
Hartman IN South.
Mr.. Hartman is now In the South
looking over the railroad situation In
that section and incidentally talking
over the situation with some stock
holders OF the seabOard. II he gets
control OF that railroad. Il Is under
stood, arrangements have already
been made for discharging the reeeiv-
ers, retiring the receivers certificates,
which have been issued In rather
large amounts. and financing the road
so that Il win soon be able 70 take
a commanding position I'm the trans
pOTtatlOn world Of the South.
While the road never has been con
sidered a heavy carrier Of freight, yet
Il goes % the very centers Of the
freight distribution In the South and
with It's Western connection can read
fly be made a through line for freight
from the the West 10 Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York over the Penn
sylvania and TO Norfolk direct over
is own rOadbed.
The acquisition OF the road would
give Mr. Hartman what he has long
desired. a direct outlet for freight
70 the Atlantic seabOard. Under
his ownership plans would be
made for making Norfolk one Of the
great grain shipping ports Of the
United States.
