PLANNED A WORLD RAILWAY.
Like Puck, Hartman Would Have
GjrdIed the Earth.

New York, Feb. AT E. II. Harri-
man had lived he would have had a
railroad around the world. This was
one of his great ambitions. Another
was to see the completion of the Pan
ANA canal. If the government had not
taken up the task of constructing this
great waterway he would have built
1t himself"
These two secrets showing the ex-
tent to which the late railroad mans
ambitions were leading him at the
time of his death, were revealed last
night by Otto II. Kahn of Kahn. Loeb
& Co., who was closely associated with
Mr.. Hartman for more than ten years.
The statement was made after the
close of Mr.. Kahn's formal address at
Finance Forum and in response to a
question from one of his hearers. In
reply to another question he said:
"Mr. Hartman did not, however.
contemplate controlling the entire rail.
road system of the United States, and
he was of the opinion that concen.
tration of railroad power had gone
about as far as it would CO."
