MR. HARRWAX'S "BIG FOUR"

over the prslrieo of the west and the
southwest were kept busy defending them
selves against aulta for dsmages tor killing
cows or bogs that had wandered upon the
tracks. ' Usually the roads tried to' settle
amicably with the . .owners, and young
Ixrvett showed himself a skillful diplomat
ist In work of this kind. But all the while
he was doing something more than
planning defences for damage suits. Be
fore ha was B years of age he aaw clearly
what Texas was to be as a route for a
transcontinental railway system.
Master ef Railroad Law.
Ton can picture to yourself this am
bitious, young lawyer posting himself up
on - alf the details of railroad law, study
ing statutes, and particularly the way In
which old railroads or great railroads were
legally able' to absorb young, weak or
almost bankrupted railroads. Gradually It
cans to be aaid In Texas that young Lovett
was the smartest, brightest railroad lawyer
In the state, as gradually be was given
more and mora Important railroad work
and finally it came to pass that C. P.
Huntington, who always kept his eyei
open for capable young men. made Mr.
Lovett the general counsel for all the
Southern Pacific lines In Texas.
After Mr. Harrlman and his Union Pa
cmc railroad bought the control of the
Southern Pacific he took a special fancy to
Mr. Jkovett, who came to him with his
new7.roperty. In fact, Mr. Harrlman tied
up with Mr. Lovett. as the saying Is.
and In business and pleasure the two men
became almost like Siamese twins. When
Mr. Harrlman travelled he would not go
unless Mr. Lovett was with him. If that
travelling companionship could be secured
without Interfering with buslnens. It Is
upon Mr. Lovett that Mr. Harrlman
felled la the- saain for eounsel on delicate
and Important legal' questions. And when
he was perfecting his now organisation he
named Mr. Lovett general counsel for
what Is called the Harrlman system. A
far cry from the Texas boy. who n years
before was patiently reading Blackstone
and fingering his way through the Texas
statutes.
If you were to meet Mr. Lovett. not
knowing that he is a lawyer, you would
never dream that this apparent fun-loving,
bright-eyed, quick-moving man has gained
the reputation of being one of the most
clear-headed, subtle and acute of all the
lawyers now In the employ of railway
organisations of the United States. Tou
ran Judge his sense of humor when It s
said that he classed himself, when asked
war. He was only U years of age when
he received the degree of civil engineer
from Washington and Lee university. Rail
way men say that at the time of his final
examination he received the highest mark
which up to that time had been given by
the university to any one taking that
degree. Tou see he was gifted at birth.
apparently, with a mind that was able to
grasp mathematics with the understand
ing and the fascination with which most
boys read "Robinson Crusoe."
At one time his friends expected that
Kruttschnitt would become a professor of
cars are needed to move the products In
any district which the Harrlman system
covers, but be could tell you where thee
cars are. His associates sometimes laugh
ingly declare that he seems to have sort
of hypnotio vision which makes It
possible for htm to follow the movement
of every freight and of every passenger
car snywhere on the t" nlon Pacific lines.
Mr. Hsrrtman never had to ask Mr. Stubbs
twice to get needed Information.
All that Mr. Stubbs knows of railway
operation and traffic management be bas
taught himself. Hs drifted west from his
native place in Ohio and got a Job as
freight clerk at Oakland, CaL, where the
Central Pacific, now the western link of
the Union Pacific, terminated. That was
only four or five years after C. P. Hunt-lngton.Mark-
Hopkins, Crocker and Lei and
Stanford bad finished the Central Pacific
railroad making connection with the Union
Pacific, thereby giving to the United States
the first transcontinental line. So Mr.
Stubbs, beginning railroading when 72, has
actually grown up with the Union Pacific.
Ahead of Ills Ttsse.
Even as a clerk at Oakland Mr. Stnbbs
was amay ahead of his time. He knew
what was coming In the way of Pacific
railway development. What he predicted
was realised, and so pleased was Mr. Hunt
Ington that be made him assistant general
freight agent. This was In IsTL
In that office Mr. 8tubbs was not satis
fied simply to move cars. He went all over
the state of California to see what the
farmers were doing, how much business
the miners were to offer and he was able
to predict In the spring of every year the
actual amount of the crops that were bar
vested. One man recently said to him:
"Stubbs knows Just bow many peaches are
on the trees In California and how many
tons of ore will be shipped out of Art son.
And this man might have added that long
before other railway men thought of doing
such things Stubbs also knew how many
orange groves there were In southern Cali
fornia, and where each grove was, and

until now It Is a stupendous financial suc
cess. Harrlman waa the man who made
It. That was his first big railroad work
and perhaps his greatest.
But the Union Pacific served only to
turn him into a railroad man and It began
a long series of accumulations by which
Harrlman and the party he created plaeed
unrelenting fingers upon railroads In every
corner of the country. The Pennsylvania,
New York Central. Baltimore Ohio,
Reading. St. Paul. Santa Fa. Delaware
Hudson and the Norfolk Western, are
some of his principal prises. He own
these railroads because when be waa In a
railroad at all he was the only force In It.
When that was not possible be withdrew
his interests and went somewhere else.
Building; Co fortune.
He began to build up a system of finan
cial credit out of the funds of bis rail
roads which made him a banker on a huge
acale without having to run a regularly
organised bank subject to government re
strictions. It la said that Wall street t
pended upon the money thst the Harrlman
Interests could supply, and that recalling
It would upset hundreds of operators. He
owned the control of the Weils-Fargo Ex
press company, and be made his ownership
felt there Just as he made it felt in the
Illinois Central when he ousted Sttirveaant

each year for shipment to the east.
Meanwhile Mr. Stubbs was working out
the problem of how best to haul traffic for
long distances without breaking the freight
and with the highest economy . Mr. Harrl
man early learned to accept Mr. Stubbs'
statements without any question and be
In a school near Baltimore for the five
years following his graduation. In his leis
ure hours he grew accustomed to watch
the surveying then In progress for the con
struction of a new railroad from Balti
more to Washington. The work fascinated
him, and after a time he made up bis mind
that his proper field was the mechanics
and engineering of railway construction
and operation. After that he was very glad
to get employment upon a new railroad
under construction in Texas, and after it
waa in operation he advanced from the
humble position of roadmaster, up and up,
exactly as some of the engineers and sur
veyors of the Pennsylvania railroad sys
tem have been promoted from minor posi
tions until at last they have held impor
tant places upon the executive staff, some
even becoming president.

It used to be said of Kruttschnitt that
he could Mirvey without an Instrument;
thst IX he had a Jackknlfe and a piece of
wood he could whittle out an Implement
with which he could take an elevation.
He seemed to know instinctively what the
best layout for a railroad would be. Nat
urally, C. P. Huntington heard of this
bright chap when Huntington was pushing
that part of his Southern Pacific railway
system which extended from El Paso, Tex.,
to New Orleans. Kruttschnitt waa exactly
the kind of a man sure to appeal to Mr.
Huntington; who was very fond of young
men who had great Intensity of purpose
and supreme power of concentration, men
who could say In ten words a good deal
more than most other men could say In
ICS.
It was six years after he had taken up
railroading that this former school teacher
became Huntington's assistant general
manager of the Southern Paclflo'a lines
east of EM Paso. Not so very long after
he had ecu red this promotion he seemed
to know the life history and everyday be
havior of every rail and every tie upon
the lines under his charge. Riding upon an
engine he could tell with his eyes shut
where he was by the feel of the land.

could tell him anything about A. L. Mohler,
who had something to do with "Jim Hill's
railway out In St, Paul." The New York
railway man had never heard the name be

time was sure to come when he would
hear of Mohler, "for he la certain to be

of the people for building up the coun

was of great importance as the eastern
end of his greatest and most successful
enterprise, the Union Pacific, he took care
to see that the newspapers got that Im

of substantial Improvement as the
soundest buslnesa policy and he
