Wall Street Anxious to Know,
What Investments of the Late
Financier Were Bad.
HARRIMAN MADE MISTAKES,
Dead Railroad Magnate’s Estate
Showed Depreciation in Sev
eral Securities.
MOM YuKK, April 26.—In teres!
••enters lit the inventory and appraisal
of the estate of the late John P. Mor
tal!. Wall Street would like to know
how many had Investments ho made.
His estate will show a loss, for in
stance. on Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Day ton and Pere Marquette, possibly
1200,000, and there tnay be others
Inventory of Bdward H. Harrlinan's
security holdings at the time of his
death. September 9, 1909. throws light
on the character of the man. It shows
purpose throughout—purpose other
than that of seeking safe investment
for his funds. The absence of high-
grade bonds excludes that. At sev
eral points the purpose was evidently
speculation, for which he had a great
liking, but generally his larg. invest
ments wore made to give him power
lit the councils of the mighty, of
which, in the railroad world, lie was
i he mightiest.
Union Pacific Largest.
It was to be expected that his hold
ings of Union Pacific stock would be
I he largest. They amounted to Jin.-
oBO.OOO par value, about equally di
vided between preferred anil common,
out of tile mud's total capitalization
of 5315,000,00(1. H. had only 1,000
shares of Southern Pacific stock, that
company being securely controlled
through the Oregon Short Line, and
not requiring any largo stockholding
on his part. Likewise In the some
what similar ease of tile Illinois Cen
tral he owned personally only 473
shares.
Next to these holdings In “Hitrri-
man roads,'' his large at railroad in
terest was In Erie, where he owned
34,740,000 par value of common and
18,349,000 three-year 6 per rent col
lateral trust notes. This latter, which
was by far his largest Investment In
any fixed interest-bearing security,
was the result of his historic support
of the Erie early in 1908 following
the panic Besides the Erie lie held
food -sized blocks of stock in the Del
aware and Hudson. Baltimore and
' >hlo and New York Central, which
made him director in those compa
nies. Holdings of $1,000,000 St. Paul
preferred and $200,000 Heading com
mon may have been purchased more
as investments. Large holdings of
Brooklyn ltapid Transit, In w hich lie
was a director, and of lnterbomugh-
-Nlt tropoUtan stock were likely taken
on speculation.
Bank Stocks Sound.
Bank Mocks and that In tl'V Equita
ble Life, all having an appraised mar
ket value of around $8,o0(i,fUKi, gave
him a sound bulwark of Investment
security. Investment in express
stocks, which are now far from as
valuable as at his death, \ver« $2,156,-
000 In Wells Cargo « Co. and $2,202,-
50o in United States Express, t itliei
large investments were In Hurling
ton’s Illinois division 4 per cent bonds.
Wheeling and Luke Erie notes and re
ceiver’* certificates, Chicago amt Al
ton bonds anil lilterborough-.Metropol
itan collateral trust 4 l-2s. These
allow many dc-giee* of Investment
value, down nearly to speculation.
Pure speculation is found in $2,816,-
260 par value of ilolden Itewurd Con
solidated i Jo Id Milling and Milling
Company, given as worth 10 per cent
of its face value; $2,000,000 of Grcene-
C'ananea Copper, worth $900,000,
which lie Is reported to have pur
chased al well above that figure after
an Inspection of the mines. Chicago
Subway stock of a par value of 36..
711.250, worth $1,107,356, also loolis
like- a fall that might have hurt a
smaller man
But a» » Whole Hie list show- M
few securities of no value as any man
worth $70,000,000, whose business Is
i ot that of simply Investing funds, is
likely to leave. It shows that in gen
erously supported things of local and
personal interest to him, and thereby
was often led into unprofitable ln-
x eetments

U. P. Dissolution Is
Extended to July 1
Attorney-General Denies Indefinite
Stay—‘People Are Entitled to
Early Relief,’ He Holds.
WASHINGTON. April 26.—Attor- ■■
nay General Ah Reynolds hied In the
Supreme Court of the Cnlted States
to-day ms objections to the petition j
of the Union Pacific Railroad asking
for an Indefinite extension of time
within which it might comply with
the mandate ordering the dissolution
of the merger. The Attorney Gen
eral says:
“Under the peculiar circumstances
shown, I am of the* opinion that to
extend the time until July 3, 1913, will
be greatly to the public Interest. Ac
cordingly 1 am willing that the time
be enlarged until July 1, 1913, but I
emphatically oppose any extension be
yond that date.
“This case has been before the
court for more than five years, and
the people are entitled to early re
lief.”

Georgia Congressman Thinks the
Democrats Should Be Given
Patronage at Once.
SAVANNAH, OA., April 26.—Rep-
resentatlve Charles G. Edwards, who
has not been very w’ell of late, and
is now spending a few days at home
by order of his physician, talks most
interestingly of the political situa
tion in Washington.
Mr. Edwards thinks the present ad
ministration’s policy of retaining Re
publicans in office is a mistaken one,
and has protested against It to the
President. He feels, however, that
it may be straightened out soon.
He also believes the Underwood
| tariff Dill will pass the House prac-
tically as agreed upon in Democratic
caucus, and that the Senate will
j change it very little.
Among other things of interest, Mr.
Edwards said:
“Not long ago, T, in company with
a number of Georgia Congressmen,
called upon President Wilson and ad-
1 vised him, in the interest of the party
and fair play, to oust immediately
the Republican Federal officeholders
in Oeqrgia. We advised a thorough
house cleaning.
“The President said he was at
work < n a plan whereby he thought
the matter might be brought around
to a satisfactory status, but that he
was not disposed to enact the role
of « spoilsman, ami that at present
he would not agree to remove office
holder.;, unless unfitness were charged
and sustained. Personally. I think
the I moerats should have the of
fices, and right away. The Republi-
i cans would have cleaned out the
| household from Maine to California
i by now, and 1 can see no reason why
1 we should be so careful of their feel-
j ings now.
“The California situation is most
acute, ami I hope Mr. Bryan may be
: able to get it righted.
"After the tariff bill has been en
acted into law. I think Congress will
adjourn. The idea that there is a
breach between Senators Smith and
Bacon is. I think, a mistake. There
arise differences of opinion, to be
, sur*. as to patronage and one thing
and another, but nothing has served
ti* upset their working harmony that
l know of.”
Mr. Edwards expects to remain in
Savannah for a week or so, but will
get back to Washington in time to
j vote upon the tariff lull when it comes
j up for final passage in the House.
REALTY MAN PROSPECTS

to tell what he had in mind.
