New York, July 28.-The audac-
ity Of the transaction whereby DR..
F. S. Pearson, -Pcrcival Farquhar,
and their associates hoped to gain
control Of an American transcon6-
mental railroad system stood out in
even bolder relief when more of
the facts became known to-day.
Their operations were on an even
greater scale than at first reported.
Altogether, long before the re-
sources of the syndicate were i'm
paired, they had bought stocks OF
the roads in the proposed system
to an amount certainly in excess of
$4,000 shares, and representing
cash payments of quite $50,000,Q00.
HAD POWERFUL RIVALS.
The figures suggest the magnitude Of
the undertaking. In the course of the
development of the scheme they must
perforce encounter every big group Of
fnanciers and most of the powerful rail-
road systems in the United States. In
securing control OF Rock Island they
must have had a bitter contest with
Judge Moore and D. G. Reid, men who
in at least one bitter fight got the best
OF Hartman.
In developing the Lehigh Valley ac-
cording TO their plans they must have
incurred the bitter hostility Of the Read
ing. Jersey Central. Lackawanna. Erie.
and other roads backed by the Morgan
and First National Bank interests
In giving Wabash an outlet 10 the coast
they could have had joyous battle with
the New York Central system on one
side and the Pennsylvania on the other,
20 say nothing Of the other trunk lines,
like Baltimore and Ohio.
Disdained James j. Hill.
In the West they threw down the
gauntlet first to the Goulds. from whom
they proposed to take their choicest pos
sessions. They disdained the power Of
James J. Hill. who does not want any
transcontinental system while he controls
the Great Northern. Northern Pacific
and Burlington. Finally, they reckoned
not OF the wishes Of the richest Of all
systems. Union Pacific. with which they
proposed to commence a sharp struggle;
nor did they seem to take In the reckon
ing the bankers for the Union Pacific
and Pennsylvania, Kuhn. Loeb & Co.
into whose hands the syndicate finally
fell.
As the transaction now stands. though
DIR. Pearson and Mr.. Farquhar retain
diminished interest in the securities tn,
syndicate bought, Kuhn, Loeb & Co
have absolute control Of them. and OFT,
II. Kahn the banker who was Harri
mans most trusted and respected al
wiser and closest con6dant. Is sitting ol
the lid Of the strong box wondering wha
he will do with them.
