Mr. Photwell has other things to say on th subject of Harrlman and the New York Central which seem to put a new light on the statement of President Brown a few days ago that he had never seen Mr. Harrlman presiding as chairman of th Central's board of directors. Mr. Brown made this statement In response to a story published in Th Bee to the effect that Harrlman had- secured control of th Central. The new light ts that Harrimaln has not yet completed the matter of securing con trol of the New York Central, only having secured thus far $18,000,000 of the stock According to Mr. Shotwell, the process ts going on, but Is near completion, and when completed Harrlman will make of the Cen tral a holding company for his other In terests. What Shotwell Says. Under a New York date line Mr. Shot well writes this story to th Chicago Ex aminer of Sunday: New York Central Is to be the holding company for all the Harrlman system, ac cording to report In Wall street today. This makes a holding company as planned by Harrlman some months ago unneces sary. Details of the plan, which practi cally amounts to a merger of Union Pa cific with the other Harrlman companies, are being worked out. The matter haa gone so far. It was said today, that tn the plans for the new Grand Central station nuarters are belna provided for Union Pacific, Southern pacific and all the other Harrlman offices. The Equitable Life bu Id nt. in which the Harrlman rail roads now have their offices, at 130 Broad way, la to be torn down in about two years to make nlace for the largest skyscraper in the world and It Is expected that Harrlman will by that time be the official operating nead of the greatest transcontinental sys tern In the world. This deal between the Harrlman lines and New York Central has proceeded so far that several of the old Vanderbllt lieu tenants are arranging for retirement. Sen ator Chauncey M. Denew Is one who will go. H. McK. Twomblv, a brother-in-law of wnnam K. vanderbllt, is another named tor retirement. Bnouavh Stock to Beglji. New York Central already has enough stock authorised to begin the deal, which will be brought about by a purchase from the Union Pacific of Its Boulhern Pacific stock, payment to be made with stock of the New York Central In volume large enough to put the control of New York Central In the Union Pacific treasury. This deal will conform with all the laws of the United States relating to ownership of par allel or competing properties. This deal will not be officially consum mated for several months. It may be a year before official confirmation can be nad in all its details, because the Harrlman people do not propose to have any more quarrels with the United States govern ment and they will proceed in such a way as to meet the approval of the Taft ad ministration. Union Pacific already owns about tlR.000.- 000 par of New York Central stock, and Har rlman Is said to have options on large blocks In the street. William K. Vander bllt Is to be an Important minority factor In New York Central and he Is reported as tne purchaser of much stock around pre ent levels. New York Central ha been strong the last few days tn the face of heaviness in nearly every direction. It was the leader n trading today, alihoueh this report of tne proposed purchase of Boulhern Pacific was not common knowleda-e In the street. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were also braced up by the buying of Insiders who insist that this merger will be put inrougu as planned.
