SAYS DISSOLUTION
BAD FOR MARKETS
Former Attorney General
Talks of "Unscrambling'
Hartman Merger.

SAN FRANCISCO, March O." Un-
scramblingN operations are bad for
money markets, according to former
United States Attorney General
George w Wickcrsham, who arrived
here tonight with n party OF friends.
Mr.. Wickersham ascribes the present
financial ills to tho uncertainty over
the method of dissolving the Hartman
railroad merger.
"The present weak condition of the
market and the uncertainty in finan-
cial centers,'' he said, "are due to the
doubt that exists over what effect the
throwing of $l26,000,000 worth OF
stock on the market in the dissolution
plan may have. The drop in the shares
seemingly makes it necessary TO devise
another method OF disposing of the
stock and new plan to effect the dis
sloution,
"This, of course, must be left to my
successor, Mr.. McReynolds. At the
time the department Of Justice agreed
upon the plan for separating the lines,
we had considered the advice Of the
most capable legal and traffic experts
in the country. The local difficulties
that have arisen on the coast could not
have been foreseen at that time, and
they present some new and intricate
problems. The present uncertainty Is
highly regrettable. !"
Mr.. Wickersham will sail for the
orient In few days.

Ru1nors of Poisoning.

The legal activities stand out with all
the moro force when contrasted with the
