Ml is Business College When Eighteen President of Union Pacific Had an Interest In a Broker's Firm His Hand In Every Biq Rail road Deal of Past Two Decades. The many vast enterprises beaded by R H. Harriman, president ot the Dnloo : Pacific railroad, have at last sapped his energies, and. as Professor Stmempel, tne famous Viennese spe cialist, puts It, he must have complete rest or become an Invalid. In review ing the career of. the map whom some have called "an empire builder" it will be necessary to, delve into every big railroad deal that has been consum mated within the last two decades. Somewhere' in them" will be found the Imprint of Harrtman's master hand. In some it will stand forth boldly: in Others only a subtle trace Is discernible by the eye of the person uninitiated In the intricacies of high finance of the present day. when billions are at stake. Wall street has been awaiting breathlessly- the return of E. H. Harriman. for many expected that with his com ing announcement would be made that the Vanderbilt Interests In the New York Central would pass into bis keep ing. This, if accomplished, will be the crowning point of his career. . Edward Henry Harriman was born In the rectory of the Episcopal church at Hempstead. N. Y.. on Feb. 25. 1848. His father, the Rev. Orlando Harrl- maD.. Jr., was the'rector of the church at the munificent salary of $200 a year a little less than $4 a week on which to raise a family of six growing and sturdy children. This church is richly endowed today, and . the memorials there wpre erected at the exnense of Edward H. Harriman and his brother. Knew Poverty In Youth. It was a sore struggle for existence with the-country parson, and bis wife and children knew the pangs of pov erty In all its phases. When Edward was six years old Parson Harriman moved ta Jersey City, and with biin went his wife, four boys Nelson. Or lando. Henry or Edward (he was al ways called Henry by the immediate members of his family) aud William and the two girls. LUy and Annie. Dp to the year 1859 the kev. Mr. Harri man bad bad a hard row to hoe. but he then procured a good charge in New Jersey, which he held for several years, and the burdens of the mother. who had found lie a struggle at best. were considerably lightened. .- : The boys attended vbureb schools for about two years, and when the old rector. showed signs. ot tailing health the boys struck putfhtq the, world for themselves. Edward getting a place as an errand, boy in a Wall street broker's office. That' was his start. 'At the age of eighteen he was given an imprest In the firm, and .four years later be found that his savings.1 with' which be had speculated so successfully, enabled him to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange ' When He Arrived." . Harriman really "arrived" when hev became Vice president of the Illinois Central. His aptness for the manipu lation of railroad .securities was soon made manifest, and then he had full scope for his talents. , ? Witb a fortune amassed between the years. 1870 and 1880 be was accredited with .having in his strong box securi ties which had been picked up in the course of various panics that cost blm little or . .nothing. With these as a working basis and witb the support of Stnyyesant Fish he. rapidly advanced the Interests and value of that road. , Fish became president and Harriman first vice, president. More success fol lowed, .and then came the break witb Fish. ;. Next came the announcement that Harriman had gained control of the Erie road. ,i . ,; . Then Came Union Pacific It was in 1898 that Harriman electri fied the financial, world when be an nounced that witb the aid of Knhn. lxeb & o. he Intended to reorganize tbe Dnlon. Pacific.. MorgaD bad at tempted the same feat and failed. He began to buy the stock when- it sold at $t a share, and in two years be bad tbe stock up to $195 a share. He then turned to the Southern Pacific and did just as well witb that stock. Then' be evolved a plan whereby the Onion, Pa cific directors should issue $100,000,000 of bonds and let hi id personally pur chase any stock or stocks be saw. fit. In this way Harriman bought bis way, into other roads the Baltimore and Ohio., the Erie, the Delaware and Hudson, the Chicago and .Alton.- the St. Paul, the New York Central, Lake Shore and many others. Some of these deals bronght ' condemnation, , and a matter .of $57,000,000 faded away in the two,, years be bad charge of the Chicago and Alton.. The Illinois courts took up ,the bunt for this vast sum. but they soon, abandoned the chase. ... Harriman , first became . a . national figure Id .1901, when he fought J. Pier poDt Morgan and James J., Hill to a standstill, bringing about 'the North ern Pacific corner.
