He shouted "Quicksand!" to Erb, who ;hen realized the danger for the first Ime. Erb pulled off his jacket, and, lolding one corner, threw it out to ;he sinking man.

He then declared: n "The impression prevails that I 3- control more miles of railroad than ?r any other man. That statement is 1- made frequently. I deny it. It is not l- true. I do not control one mile of Is railroad. I do not believe In any one ie man or any one .company controlling s- vast interests of this kind. There are fourteen or fifteen thousand pere. sons who co-operate in the control ot 6 railroads and other corporations in 1 which I am interested." 8 This is, no doubt, one side of it. 2 Most people will, however, class this 0 reasoning with the logic of the 7 schoolmen. Wall Street looks, not 3 for metaphysical distinctions, but foi | 2 hard facts, and the hard facts are 5 that Harriman. fully exercises the con4 trol described.
