THE DEAD HAND OF HARTMAN WIPES THE NAME OF
GOULD FROM OFF THE RAILROAD MAP

New York, Jan. 6.-The dead
hand of Edward H. Hartman has
reached from the grave and wiped
the once powerful name of Gould
from off the railroad map.
That name, once the synonym
for railroad greatness, passed
from the railroad circles two
days ago, when George ]. Gould
resigned as chairman of the
board of directors of the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad.
By that resignation, George
Gould lost control of the last of
the vast railroad properties left
him by his father, and the last
faint bubble of his dream of a
great transcontinental Gould sys-
tenn burst forever.
When Jay Gould, master of fl
nance, hardbitten old railroad
king, died, he left $80,00O,0O0 to
be managed by his Oldest son,
George.
For twelve years prior to his
fathers death, George had man
aged the Gould properties-un
der his fathers supervision-at a
salary of 100000 a year.
And during the II years, the
Gould properties increased enor-
Imously in wealth, and George
came to think that he, too, had
found the golden key of his
father.
For some time after his faith
er's death, George stuck to his
last. He managed and improved
the Gould properties. He at
tempted no master stroke of H.

Hartman and Edward Hawley
then owned control of the Col

George entered the lists against
Hartman to get control of that

George won, and the swelling
in his head became so great that
a year later he annonnced that a
Gould transcontinental railroad
would be in operation within Is
months.
Hartman had just completed
his vast transcontinental system,
and was the recognized railroad
king of America. Friends of
George went to him, and begged
him to desist. They told him that
Hartman would wipe him out.

DEPARTMENT EDITOR
 USED BLUE PENCIL
Story of Suppression of Ar ticle on Everglades
 Finally Told

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Joseph A Arnold. editor-in-chief of the d. vision Of publications in the depart ment of agriculture has assumed full responsibility for the suppression of the much talked-of report on the feasi- bility of retaining the Florida Ever glades. He told the Moss commit tee he had recommended that the re- port be suppressed and had voiced that opinion to Secretary Wilson. The reason given was the iTreconciliable difference of opinions of the engineers of the department and the conflict outside of the department. He ad- nitted talking about the Everglades with men who had interests in then. Arnold said the publication of the letter on the Everglades which was said to have hurt the sale of lands was very irregular and unusual.
 The letter was mailed out to .n- quirers from the department and Sen stor Fletcher, of Florida, induced Sec retary Wilson to suppress it.
