Great Railroad Magnates Fighting for Place of Supremacy.

HABRIMAN COUNTED TO WIN

GEORGE J. GOULD, WHO HAS BEEN UNIQUE IN RAILROAD WORLD IS TO GIVE WAY TO GREATEST RAILWAY WIZARD.

Chicago, July 28. Is the elimination of George J. Gould from the galaxy of railway magnates and the substitution of B. H. Harriman to be the next great move on the transportation checker board? This question has been pounding at the door of Wall street for some time and became acute when it was stated that Mr. Gould would arrive home from Europe tomorrow and would seek the aid of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., in the refinancing and reorganization of his rvast railway property. Wall street is, therefore, on tiptoe and burning up With anxiety, for if it be true that the ambitious son of Jay Gould has run up the white flag of surrender, It means the elimination of one of the most potent factors In the railroad world, and at the same time one of the jnost mysterious and picturesque. Wall street also stands agape at the rumor, because of the realization that It would mean the passing of one man's dream to become the master mind and master hand of the transportation of an entire country, and the realization of a similar dream by his most Implacable foe, E. II. Harriman, for Harr! man's ascendency is said to be a cor.v! 'on damaudcd by the bank-

It would a!HO mean that Oil interests, which at Goorrve J. Gould into i ;r"i aided his schemes millions into them, had :. other rMot in the sea of tress which has come up- . r.ihoads during tho last six

ing link between the Wheeling & Lake Erie road and Pittsburg is one of the most expensive bits of road in the United States, some portions of it costing as high as $200,000 a mile.

Spotless Table Linen. To have snowy table cloths andnapklns you must use only pure soap. Yellow linen is inexcusable, and is really more expensive in the end, as poor, coarse soap makes quick work of fine cloth. Easy Task soap can be relied upon. It is white and pure, cleans without injury and costs but five cents.

months. Means Harriman Supreme. No wonder Wall street is quivering with expectant excitement, for with E. H. Harriman as the guiding hand of the Gould system and his power in the railroad field would be so great as to be almost uncanny. In the entire West there would be none to longer dispute his autocratic sway except where his lines thread the Pacific Northwest and encroach upon the domain of James J. Hill and he would practically be the master of two great railway systems stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes and almost to the Canadian border. His power in the traffic world would be well nigh supreme for his would be the ability to dictate as to rates and conditions surrounding traffic to the four corners of the United States. , That Gould is in tight quarters with respect to his railway properties is confidently declared by Wall street and as emphatically denied by his friends. The latter declare that his strong boxes from which the millions have poured forth as by magic in the past when needed to teach the powerful Pennsylvania system that there was no tonnage storehouse, not even in Pittsburg, which is sacred to any 6lngle railroad interest; when needed to teach the great Baltimore & Ohio that the highways of the East are not

the divine inheritance of any single transportation Interest and that there are still "open roads" to the Eastern seaboard; when needed to prove to Harriman himself that the boundless West was too great for one man to

cover it by the single hand of his au thority, are not yet empty. But now, so the rumor has It, E. H

Harriman has at last succeeded in get

ting beneath, the Gould armor plate and has dealt a fatal blow. If this is true it will be the cause of one of the most spectacular fight3 which have been waged in railroad history the fight of one man," sometimes aided, but most of the time single handed and alone against the most powerful combination of capital and railroads that bas ever been formed. It is understood that if the banking :firm comes to Gould's assistance it will be upon the condition that he thereafter be an interested spectator in the management of his properties with the tacit understanding that Harriman ' will be the strongest factor. Feels Financial Stringency. Three of the Gould properties are now in the hands of receivers and it is reported that the Missouri Pacific, which recently passed a dividend and paid another in stock, is close to the financial reefs. The Western Pacific yet needs millions to complete it and in general the Gould properties are feeling bitterly the lash of financial stringency. Had the unprecedented tonnage of the early months of 1907 continued the Gould properties would probably have been able to weather the gale. Those familiar with the history of the Gould properties declare that the first great financial mistake Gould made was bis forcing an entry into Pittsburg. This undertaking was pushed to a successful conclusion by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., then president of the Wabash, and it cost Gould close to $100,000,000. Then it cost him another $23,000,000 to place his road In a physical position to secure any of the : Pittsburg tonnage after it got there. In order to get his share of the tonnage he was compelled to build a belt line around Pittsburg. The Wabash entrance to Pittsburg led to the enmity of the Pennsylvania. The connect-
