Brief in Court Tells Story of a Little
Railroad Deal.

CHICAGO, February 5.-With the filing
OF a brief in the appellate court today by
the estate of the late Attorney John S.
Cooper new attack is made on an all
legged manipulation of u railroad and it's
traffic, whereby Theodore T.. Shonts, Paul
Morton, Joy Morton. Robert Mather and
w liam c. Brown, president of the New
York Central lines. are declared TO have
made a net profit of Si,1Ju. 600.
The suit is for 100000, which Mr.
Cooper claimed for services rendered the
defendants. 1t is set forth in the bin
that through the manipulation of the
stock of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
railroad. running from Streator. H., to
South Bend, Ind, and thence over the
Lake Shore and Mich gan Southern rail-
road, Mr.. Brown, while vice president of
the latter road, with the aid of others,
bought the Indiana. Illinois and Iowa
road while the stock was at a low figure,
owing to the alleged diversion of it's traf-
fic. After securing control of the road
for S3.OO0,O 600, Brown, with the others. it
is declared in the bill. doomed the stock
by restoring the traffic and sold it TO the
Lake Shore road at profit of 81. 10000.
The action is on an appeal from the de-
cision of Municipal Judge Hume, who
last October dismissed the suit on the
ground that the bill of particulars omit
ted certain dates.

| Special Correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK, February 5, 1910.
| The stock market has never felt the
lack of bull leadership as much as 1t does
now. The bulls are lost without Harrl-
man. They have made no Roadway since
his death last September. The reaction
which has carried stocks down 10 to 35
points dates from his demise. Mr. Harri-
man left no heir in the speculative world.
No one has been born to take his place.
There was a magic about his personality
The whole speculative community learned
to look at him as the one man who would
make things come to pass to its ad-
vantage. He surrounded his plans and
his operations with mystery, but every
body felt that something was doing and
that there was certainty of action.
| The tape for nearly year and a nalf
reflected In a continuous upward move
ment of prices, and there was unani-
nous agreement that Hartman was IN
paramount sense responsible for the de-
velopment. There is nobody now on the
stage big enough to take his place, and
nobody is seriously trying to do So There
are great SPECTATORS left, but they do
not command the confidence of the pub
lie as Hartman did Neither do they in
spire fear, which is an important ele-
ment in the Wall street game A great
field marshal in the battle of speculation
must impress the public and his follow
ing with power and willingness to In
| f1ict punishment as well as to beStoW
rewards. Both of these are necessary to
the maintenance of discipline.
Had Earned Respect
| For several years before he died every
| body In Wall street, big and little, mad
learned to respect Mr.. Hartman quite as
much for his ability and readiness to
slaughter his enemies as to carry out
plans for the direct upbuilding of his
own fortunes. He seemed to think that
one was quite as essential as the other IN
the conduct of his campaign. In this re-
spect he has been likened to that other
triumphant general in the allied field OF
politics-a warrior now ensanguinlng vast
areas of darkest Africa.
! Wall street certainly does miss Mr.
Hartman. and more SO now than at any
! time since he passed away. OF course,
| the time will come when the face of the
situation will change and cheerfulneSs
take the place of gloom. doubt and
! timidity. Prices have suffered a very
important shrinkage, and there will ar
rive a stage at which investment money
will step in and absorb floating supplies
of securities. 1t would seem to most 90
servers that that time is now at hand,
| but no guarantee is offered on purcha sas
around these figures.
