HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA. 0A„ SUNDAY, APRIL 101.1. 4 C 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.

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.

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.
