Origin of Famous Saying by the
Late Financier.
HE ONCE DANCED IN PUBLIC.
Would Not Talk Business at His Arden
'.Home and Offered Insistent Inter
viewer a Glass of Milk One of Rail
road Man's Favorite Stories. ,
In -the- famous Insurance investiga
tion in New York it came out that
much of the money used by the late
JEdward H. Harrimao in his railroad
fights eauie'frorri insurance companies.
James Hazen Hyde,, vice president of
the Equitable Life Assurance society.
appeared to be somewhat flattered by
Mr. Harriman's attentions. Later at a
directors' r meeting Mr. Hyde made a
speech accusing Harriman and friends
of trying to kick him out and to get
control of the society and its $400,000,
000 assets. s It was then that, white
and speechless, Harriman sat back in
ihis chair and gave forth sounds which
those nearest . to him .said later apr
peared to beil out in one continuous
torrent. His resignation as- a trustee
f the society' followed.
j X "Not Vet, but Soon."
'Before the -Armstrong committee he
told how on a certain night he had
been kept at the Metropolitan club on
bne pretense or another while the 4el
for the control of the Equitable-society
was being put through. He said that
pon hearing that Thomas F. Kyan had
purchased control of the society he
went 1o the new owner and demanded
a half Interest, which was refused. ' In
his testimony he explained that as far
ha Ryan was concerned any effort he
'(Harriman) could make would be de
Voted to the destruction of an unwor-
,thy object. When asked by Mr. Hughes
-whether he had taken any step to ac
complish this the-answer came:
prf- "Not yet, but soon."
There was no mistaking the empha-
rsis, and the words became a classic in
"Wall street .history.
,,: Harriman and Odell.
.' Charles E. Hughes when conducting
the? insurance -investigation ' probed
deeply Into the intimate friendship of
,jjr: Harriman4ind former Governor of
New York Benjamin B. Odell. and Mr.
pYHarriman got off a now familiar joke.
"It has been charged," Mr. Hughes
said, "that through your relations with
Mr. Odell you have political influence.
What have you to say to that?"
"Well' came the reply, "I should
psayjthatf Governor Odell had political
t' influenfie because of his relations with
' . When Harriman Danced.
In Wall street there are afloat plen
ty of anecdotes illustrating the per
sonality of the man In later years.
Whenever the impenetrable reserve of
the financier is mentioned the story is
invariably told of the only time on
record when Harriman ever showed
any animation in public- It was in
the fall of 1903, when the great Lucin
cutoff, a pet project -of Harriman's,
Was completed at Salt Lake City.
i On this occasion Mr. . Harriman
flanced. At the close of the ceremonies
Mr, Harriman. who had been grave
and dignified throughout, entered his
private car to leave the scene. The
band struck up "Yankee Doodle." A
faint smile dawned on the Harriman
features and began to spread. Pres
ently he began to balance gracefully,
and soon, in the midst of a circle of
proraiuput railroad officials, he was
doing the highland fling, in the most
abandoned style. Suddenly the band
ptopped playing, and Mr. Harriman
gravely sat down.
Gave Reporter Milk, Not News.
At his home at Arden, N.- Y., Mr.
Harriman would' not discuss business
Jnatters. .. He said to a reporter who
sought him there: '
"I left all my business vexations be
hind .in-New York city. This Arden j
$o me is the Arden of 'As You Like :
it,' ' a retreat from the world's -
.worries. . Here I seek to free myself !
ifrom all business cares and worries, 1
'and so far ' 1 have been successful. ;
:My guests here . are . made to under
stand that they are most welcome if
they abstain from talking shop. And
"so, "my dear young man, you are most
:welcome to: my table, but not to a i
financial interview. - By the way, do
"you like milk? If you do I think you
might like a glass from one of my
dairies." .. .
;r- ' One of Harriman's Stories.
ft. In declaring that we must be care-
ful not to legislate too harshly against
the country's vested interests or the
prosperity of those interests and with
it the country's prosperity Mr. Harri
man 'illustrated his -meaning -with a
story. "There was a schoolteacher."
he 'said, "who-'exclaimed impatiently
