HARRIMAN AND FISH ARE CONTRASTED BOTH MEN HAVE IDEALS, BUT THEY DIFFER RAILROAD RIVALS EXCELLENT FIGHTERB Something of the Great Personalities Engaged In Battle Royal Over Illinois Central Policy WHEN Edward H. Harriman and Stuyvesant Fish locked horns over the policy of tho Illinois Central railroad the financial and the railroad worlds knew that It would be a fight to a Pnish, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Wall street had good reason to know that Harrlman never quits, never knows de feat and never cares for quarter. Men and women, too, who have taken a good look at that ponderous and well-shaped jaw which makes Stuyvesant Fish a marked mnn wherever he goes have real ized that this soien of the Pilgrim Fathers never knows whpn he Is beaten. Two better or more determined flgfcters it would be difficult to find if the world were searched. In the present contest, neither has faltered for a moment since the lines of battle were drawn tightly, ani it Is certain that no thought of a compromise has ever entered the brain of either. Principle vs. Ambition It Is difficult to know or to fathom the motives of Harrlman and Fish. Without being disrespectful to Harrlman It would Heem that Fish Is fighting for a principle lather than for power or for personal ag grandizement. Harrlman may be none the less devoted to principle, but he has, rUhtly or wrongly, attained the reputa tion of possessing a boundless ambition. That ambition Is, according to his antag onist, to become the master of the trans portation facilities of not only tho United States but of the world. This aceusa- Tl( n brings a smllo to Mr. Harriman's STUYVESANT FISH face and gives rise to one of the first statements made in public by him which .- mtains the element of human sympathy or of eentimcntalism. "My ambition Is as naught," he de clares. "I would be glad If I had never held a. single share of stock in the Illinois Central road, and certainly would I be B'.ad if I could leave It all, and all of this •¦ndlens striving. But a. man cannot quit. I believe that he is responsible to God for the talent that is given him and that ne must use the endeavor that Is in him :c the best good for his fellow men, un selfishly and not for himself." Si.ange sentiment Is this coming from a man whom Wall street and the railroad world declare to be insensible to all influ ence except that of overpowering am- Mtion, a man who brooks no control, tlther of personal sentiment or of public op.nlon, a man who brushes all things usldc in the accomplishment of his pur poses and a man who counts Individuals i nd even corporations as nothing except the means whereby he can accomplish tht tasks which he has set for himself. Fish for the People On the other hand, this is not discount ing the sentiment that dominates the soul of Stuyvesant Fish. He comes from the stuff from which martyrs have been made in the dark ages, and he is today, the railroad world believes, a martyr to principle. How much easier would it havo been for Fish to have subjected himself to the domination of the moneyed power of Wall street, if you please, but certainly of the power that makes and breaks men of means and creates the preat railway combinations. By so do ing, and most men would have felt that t^ y could bend without losing an 1 iota of trelr manhood,. he could have had addi tional riches pouring Into his coffers, he cou'd have had power and all that goes ¦wHh playing the . game as Wall street plays it. And Wall street rewards Its friends and never forgives its enemies. Bit Fish counted not the cost of a clash with the most powerful railway magnates of the age. He felt that he had managed the Illinois Central railroad for twenty years for the people, for the men and women of the soil of more than twenty states In the Union, that they had laid a trust upon his shoulders which he could not shift and remain a true man. These men and women of the soil had trusted him for y«>Hro. Their utmost confidence In his In tegrity Is illustrated by the fact that hundreds of them journeyed to Chicago each year just to shake him by the hand. To .Stuyvesant Fish the respect of these plain people of the farm and of the fac tory was sweeter incense than the adula tion of Wai! street, and their words of cot fidence were better music to his ear than the rustle of pager-made dollars on the stock exchange. Mere sentiment, you exclaim. Well, why not? Is not sentiment the greatest power on the earth today? Has Courage of Convictions Stuy^esant Kish is a man who believes that the railroads of this country should lie nip by the people and in the Interests of the people, as he has run the Illinois Central. All the power that the Stand ard OH company and the billions of money it controls could not make him betray the trust which ho thinks the people have plTced In hlrr. It has been hinted In sjme quarters that It is the loss of position and the desire to regain it that is moving Fish to seek revenge, not justice. A grosser libel upon a mau's motives could not well be ut tered. He has the courage of his con victions and a hearty contempt for men ot the HaiTiman stripe, whether his contempt be well founded or not. "I havo never run this railroad from Wall street," he once declared, "and I shall never do 10, nn matter what happens. With all 'X* strength and power that lies within E. H. HARRIMAN me I shall fight to keep this property from the ditches of the money octopus, which is represented ,by Edward H. Harrlman." For years Stuyvesant Fish's personality Jas domlnafpd tha great mass of stock holders on the Illinois Central as no other stockholders have been dominated. He hn» taken more delight In mingling with t*ie "common people" than sitting In the scats of the mighty. Those who have watched his comings and goings have re marked the strange coincidence that dur ing all the years he ruled the road he has been foi'nd among the people along his line upon the occasions when Mrs. Fish has been giving any of her "func ti'-ns" to the "400." In appearance, Fish looks 'Ike a farmer and h« hates show und cant, and society as society is now constituted, and he has a firm grip upon tho higher ideala which have moved men like Martin Luther to create a moral and world-wide regeneration. Men Differ Widely It would be difficult to find two men In brittle who present a wider contrast. Big &nd ungairly of 6tature. with a head like that of a jungle lion, with a jaw which should have made Harrlman pause be fore he threw down the gauntlet to him, ftuyvesant Fish la a man whom men nd women turn around to look at when he passes. There Is no gathering, social, political, financial or railroad, in which th» eye of the onlooker would not Instinctively turn Hrst of all to Stuyvesant Fish and ask who he was. He has one of the most compelling presences that ever a man was gifted with, and character is written upon every line of his massive face. For years he has been the idol of tho ma jority of Illinois Central stockholders, whom he loved to call his "great family," and whose Interests he has cared for. His annual meetings have been unique events in tho railway world, for each year every stockholder received an annual pass which entitled him to a ride to Chicago for' th» purpose of attending. Conse quently a motley crowd of millionaires, such as John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Varderbilt and Edward H. Harrlman r-ave sat down with the "Bill" Dosiers and the Ferdinand Coles from the In terior towns and mingled as equals. And thes* days were the red-letter days in Stuyvesant Fish's life, as they have been in the lives of the tillers of the sell along the line of the Illinois Central. Mr. Fish's ambition, if ambition he pos sessed, was to make the Illinois Central distinctively the railroad of th« people, and his life's work has been devoted to it. And now he eees the crunching car if railway centralization driven by Ed ward H. Harriman ruthlessly, as It seems to him, grinding to atoms his life work and dispelling his life's dream. Is it any wonder that there Is no cry for quarter In the eoul of Stuyvesant 'Fish? Puzzles Railroad World Harriman 'a the enigma and the sphinx of the railroad world. He is the riddle t bat has never been guessed and the puz zle that has never been solved. He Is a ?olf-made man, compelling success by a gnnius that is uncanny from a man of so small physical stature. So diminutive and insignificant Is Edward H. Harriman to look upon that ho passes everywhere where he is known without an inquiring glance. His Inner soul has never been laid bare to the gaze of the public as has Stuyvesant Flsh'e. If he has sentiment It has teen concealed, If he has considera tion for others it has been well hidden, and if he has the good of all mankind at heart, as he says, he has been woefully misjudged. And yet there is no question that In bis private home life there is not a ewteter character than Edward H. Har rlmnn. With a home life that is Ideal nd inspiring in its love and duty, there may be read a side of Harriman of which the world knows little. It would seem a contradiction too terrible to entertain that a mar whose home is ruled by love and devotlor can have, when It comes to deal- Ing with the outside world, no sentiment. While Fish is naturally open-hearted ard frank, Harriman is by nature retir ing and retrospective, little given to bearing his thoughts for the vulgar In spection. In the killing struggle In which he hat had to make for himself a great name, Harriman has been forced to re gard every one and everything as a pos sible factor of opposition. It has been a rough school, and the difference- in the methods of the two men is accounted for by the difference of temperament. Men who have worked for Harriman love to teil, in eecret, of his many kindnesses and of the many charities which he loves to do in secret. But they tell of it only In whispers, for should it come to the r jrs of Harriman It would mean instant and severe rebuke. A sidelight was throwr upon Harrlman's character early In the Illinois Central fight. Upon one occasion a newspaper man went to Har rimar for an Interview. He asked the press representative why It was that the newspapers showed such hostility and an tHjroniem toward him. "Do you want a frank answer?" "1 do," was the reply, "for I think it is undeserved." "It is because you have treated the newspaper men throughout the country with contempt and have not even taken the trouble to be courteous to them." Learns Lesson Well Harrlman tfank Into deep thought for a few moments, when he replied: "I pre sume you will not believe me then when I tell you that I am very eorry they feel this way. I do not feel unfriendly to the newspapers nor to the newspaper men. I simply haven't the time to talk with '.hem. This moment there are three important directors' meetings In 6eselon in my office awaiting my coming. If I began talking to newspaper men they would take all of my time. The inter ests I represent are toe vaßt for me to waste a moment, and when I do take ihe time to talk they seem willfully to m'srepresent me. Then, if they report me correctly, the editorial writer always sees fit to say something nasty. I realize, however, that the newspapers ought to bu taken more Into confidence and I'm going to try to do It." It will be remembered that ever since that date Edward H. Harrlman has never denied himself to a newspaper man and Ufaß talked upon every occasion. Pre vious to that time he had never had a picture taker., and no one had ever suc cessfully snapshotted him. Now his pho tograph can be seen in the dally news papers, and only the other night he kept a dinner party waiting while a newspaper photographer came to his rooms in the Auditorium Annex, Chicago, and took a picture, filling the rooms with smoke. Of Harriman's greatness there can be no doubt, as there cannot be of the fact that ha has the qualities which attract inun tf he chooses to take time to exer cise those qualities. He Is one of those anomalies who are terrors in business ar.d delightful companions out ot office. The man has a brain that is phenomenal and the quickest brains cannot keep pace with him. In directors' meetings and in conversation he grasps great problems with which he Is not familiar even be fore the men who have studied them for a lifetime get well Into the explanation. This fact nas caused him to cultivate unconsciously an Impatient attitude when In conversation or when in business rela tions. Grasps Details Quickly •'Yes, yes, ' he is wont to exclaim wher talking over important affaire, "I under stand that thoroughly; go on to something tlse. (Let us get along and make pi ogress." This habit is somewhat disconcerting to many. Harriman himself reedgnizea his Impattr nee, and he says of himself: "It Is impossible for me to say a thing over. When it is gone the concentration of thought which brought it has snapped, and I am on to something else." This fact makes Ifarriman the difficult man ¦:t his time to Interview successfully. He realizes this, and It mak»» him diffident in talking with reporters and as shy aa a woman. Harriman is exceedingly fond of horeea tr«d loves all animals. It has been said at a man that if he loves animals he can not be bad at heart, and the love of ani mals and of children Is one of the dis tinguishing characteristics of his make up. That he is a great railway builder, the greatest in his time, there is no dis pute. He has done things in the line of railway construction which engineers have scouted and have said were im possible, but which have proved the greatest succeeses. He has given to the western world the best transportation syetem the world has ever seen. In do ing this he has beep the victim of con ditions and of environment rather than of desire and purpose. Harahan's "Irish Centra!" There is a third and lesser light which has been eandwlched between Fish and Harriman in the Illinois Central fight. Reference Is made to J. T. Harahan. prfeident of the road and successor to Stuyvesant Fish. Harahan is a true Celt, and the pride in his nationality is seen by the fact that he has caused all of his stations and buildings between Chicago and New Orleans to be painted a vivid green. It Is also signalized by the fact that the Illlonls Central is laughingly called the "Irish Central." He Is dis tinctively a self-made man. having had no education except that which is gotten by hard knooks with construction gangs nd In the machine chop. His lack of vhat the world pleases to call educa tional advantages and education makes Harahan clothe himse'.f with, a crust of rilffidence which is sometimes painful. By this It Is not meant to signify that he ia difficult of access. On the contrary, bo door is always open and anyone may walk into the president's office almost unannounced Regarding Harahan, ihe railroad world differs. Some declare that he should have remained true to Fish, while others insist that there was no reason why he should have sacrificed himself and his future for a man who he beUeved did not keep his pledged word. Work is Har ahan's diversion. He travels more upon hi' line than any other railway president, ard there inn't a detail of any depart ment with which he is not familiar. He has the qualities, rough and ready though they be which bind men to him. Wi'h educational advantages Harahan would Jave been a Harriman. Without them he is one of the most efficient railway operating men in the world today. VISITOR TO CITY DIES OF HEART FAILURE Fred S. Ruoff, 45 years of age, was found dead in his room at 1717 New Jersey streot yesterday morning. Death Is supposed to havo been the result of heart failure. Ruoff rented the room two weeks ago, but gave no Information to the pro prietor about himself, and with the ex ception of his name little is known of the man. The body was taken to Brosee Brothers' morgue. The coroner was notified and an inquest will be held this morning.

At the Temple Baptist church Dr. Bur dette, In a prelude to his sermon, paid a tribute to Mrs. Clatworthy, quoting from Elizabeth Oakes Smith's poem, "The Wife" ; "All day. like some sweet bird, content to sing In Its small cage, she moveth to and fro. And ever and anon will upward spring To her sweet lies, from the fresh fount below. The murmured melody of pleasant thought. Unconscious uttered, gentle toned and low. With placid fancies of one trusting heart That lives but In her smile, and turns From life's cold seeming and the busy mart With tenderness, that heavenward ever yearns To be refreshed where one pure altar burns. Shut out from hence the mockery of life, Thus llveth she content, the fond, loved, trust- Ing wife."

NEW MEXICO HAS LARGE DEPOSIT OF MEERSCHAUM Its Recent Discovery Will Relieve the Scarcity as Soon as Wagon Road Transportation Can Be Provided Meerschaum, which has heretofore come from Turkey, In Asia Minor, has recently been found in New Mexico, and the scarc ity which has characterized Its produc tion during the past few years will, from present indications, soon be at an end. The mines are in the Diablo range of mountains, about twenty miles northwest of Pinos Altos, to which a branch of the Santa Fe railroad runs from Demlng Two veins have been stripped for 1500 feet each; In them there is carried, between strongly denned walls, meerschaum in widths of twenty inches. The veins are vertical and give evidence that they were formed through the splitting apart of volcanic conglomerate, a theory still fur ther confirmed by the blowouts and de posits of float that have been thus far discovered, and finally by the fact that kidneys of pure meerschaum in various sizes are obtainable from this surface material, although it has been subjected to the decomposing effects of the ele ments, impregnation of vegetable matter and the seepacp of other minerals in so lution into it for centuries. A wagon road is now being built from the mines to Pinos Altos, a distance of twenty miles, and when this Is completed the meer schaum will be marketed.— Mining and Scientific Press.

There were never more than 200 miners at work in the palmy days of the first excitement, while now 500 lusty miners may be counted in the camp and they are all working. Tne Green water syndicate has Just placed 100 miners at work and the Green water Death Valley company has added ten men, while eight more miners have been employed by the Furnace Creek Cop per company.

SPOKANE MAN, MISSING, MAY BE IN LOS ANGELES Fred W. Wallace, formerly employed as bookkeeper in a wholesale drug store In Spokane, has disappeared from his home In that city and relatives and friends be li ye he may be in Los Angeles. Wallace Is well known in Los Angeles, having lived in Boyle Heights here for several years. Three years ago he gave ¦_p his position in the paymaster's depart ment of the Southern Pacitic and with his wife moved to the Washington city. He has frequently said that he would like to return to Los Angeles. About two weeks ago Wallace told his wife he was going to Marshall, a small town In the Big Bend country, to look after an Investment. Mrs. Wallace ac companied him to the depot. Wallace pesured his wife ho would be back within a few days, but since bidding him good bye Mrs. Wallace has not seen or heard fiom her husband. Yesterday friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wal face wl"- live in Los Angeles received, letters trom her asking them to look for the missing man. Mrs. Wallace stated In the letters that her husband had paid close attention to his work since taking the position with the drug firm, and she fears his constant attention may have £i fleeted his mind.
