FAMILIAR FIGURE WITH
WALL STREET WORKERS
Hill Famous in Financial District
For Quaint Humor and Conser-
vative Views.

NEW YORK May 29.-The news OF
the death of the man who for two gen
erations has been dominant per-
sonality in the financial community
was received in Wall street today with
feeling of almost personal loss. for
James j. Hill had not only many init
mate friends among foremost hnan-
ciers, but was a familiar and popular
figure with Wall street workers.
The financier's death did not cause
the slightest disturbance in the stock
market. The Hill stocks. Great North
srn and Northern Pacific, were virtually
inactive. They were heavy at the open
ing. prior to the announcement of his
death. Northern Pacific being off a
point, and Great Northern a fraction,
but recovered later.
Mr.. Hill was famous in the financial
community for his quaint humor and
his conservative though optimistic
views of general conditions throughout
the country, which were almost in
variably sought every time he visited
"the street"

weeks ago. and it was then observed
that he was in declining health.
Mr.. Hill made his headquarters when
here. at the offices of the Great North
ern railway. but spent much of his
time visiting the leading banks and
banking houses. His advice and in
nuence were eagerly sought last fall by
the banking syndicate which f1oated
the $500.000,000 Anglo-French war is
sues
Mr. Hills connections with all classes
of people in the west and northwest
made him a powerful factor in the sue
cessful contamination of that unpreee-
denied undertaking. Mr.. Hill was out
spoken in his championship of the al
lies.
New Workers to Attend Funeral.
Local officials of the Hill roads, in
GLIDING William P. CIough, chairman of
the Northern Pacific railroad, and E T
Nichols, vice president of the Great
Northern railway. are expected to leave
town today to attend the funeral. 1t
is also likely that representatives of
the banking houses of J. P Morgan &
Co. Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. the First Ma
tionaI Bank. Chase National Bank and
City National Bank, with all of which
Mr. Hill had close personal and f1nan-
cial connections. will attend the flu
neral. So
friends in this city were George F.
Baker chairman of the First National
Bank, and Charles Steele of J. P. Nor
gan Co.. who invariably accompanied
Mr.. Hill on his annual fishing trips to
Labrador.

WILL NOT LIFT CAR EMBARGO

Louisville, KY. November 14-Em-
bargoes placed by the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad against the move
ment of its coal cars to points beyond
its own rails will not be lifted until
its equipment is actually returned, &C
cording to c. b. Phelps, superinten-
dent Of transportation of that road.
His declaration was made late to-
day at hearings in connection with
an investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission into car eX-
change methods in answer to ques-
lions by counsel for coal operators,
located along the line of the Louis
vile & Nashville, who market their
product in the North anr Northwest
He had been asked If this road
would not lift it's embargo in view Of
the fact that other roads in the coun-
try have agreed to the return of all
foreign coal cars to the owning lines,
and that some of them have reported
the actual beginning of the homeward
movement of such equipment.
The attitude of other roads. which
have placed similar embargoes was
not brought out, but it is understood to
be identical with that assumed by the
Louisville & Nashville.
]. ". Roberts, superintendent Of
freight transportation of the Pennsyl-
vania lines west of Pittsburg was
the principal witness to appear at the
hearing today. He detailed at length
the situation, which, he declared, has
faced the Pennsylvania and other
roads as a result of the countrywide
car shortage. There had been, he
said. a general demand for all classes
of cars but particularly for open-toT
cars, such as coal cars. OF this class
Of cars. he declared, the Pennsylvania
today was able to command only about
cne-half of it's actual requirements.
This demand, he said was an alb.
normal one. resulting from the great
