! HARTMAN WILL
Document to Be Filed This Week
May Donate $4,000 Acres
of Land.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-The will of
I'd. H.. Hartman will be filed this week,
according to Robert S. Lovett, who has
been elected chairman of the Union
Pacific executive committee to succeed
Mr.. Hartman. Mr.. Loyett would not
discuss the contents of the will.
The will, which Is exciting more in
terest than any similar document in
many years. will probably be filed for
probate al Goshen, the county seat of
Orange county, which includes the large
Hartman estate at Arden. 1t is un-
derstood the will will be filed ON Thurs
day.
Among MIR. Harriman's friends the
belief prevailed that the enormous Har-
riman railroad holdings are not to be
divided for a long period, and that the
will creates q. trust for their admins
t~ration, the income going to the heirs.
1t is also said that while the railroad
and commercial interests will be held
intact through a trusteeship, the will
gives TO Mrs. Hartman the magnificent
estate In Arden, and also the town
house in Fifth avenue.
New York and New Jersey are great
~ interesed in the will. as II was only
q few months before his death that
Mr.. Hartman proposed to donate $4,000
acres of land in the northern part of
New Jersey to a public park, his plan
being to have the State of New York
and the state of New Jersey contribute
equal portions. thus creating IN enor-
nous and magnificent playground and
game and forest preserve within a
short ride of the metropolis.
