holding company, which has been In
progress of formation for the last six
months, has at last token the shape of
a banking concern, according to a rumor
, in ; Wall -treete.I.t-waj :..reporte44.that
, Harriman's attprnc had found a way
. of selling aU the investments held by
the Union, Paclflo to the banking house
Thla banking house, ia to, be Incor

derwrite securities and sell them, over
the counter, doing practically the same
business aa Kuhn, Loeb & Ce J. F.

When . H. Harriman waa asked for
details of the new company, ha said:

publicly that the holding company Is

not hesitate to say they believe such a
thing will be announced soon. '- One of
th first pieces of business the new
banking company would do would be
to raise $100,000,000 for the Union Pa

would amount to the same thing. It
probably would -underwrite -the 1100,-4

The Zinlta left Antwerp October 11

became too monotonous for four of the
crew, a British Columbian Indian,
Portuguese, an Italian and a French
man, and they broached the cargo, by

began to flow freely and others of the
crew were compelled ' to , accept their,
hospitality, v It meant fight to refuse a
drink and the desperadoes were tall slx-
footers and powerful. " .
At one time, so the tale goes, every
man was in a drunken stupor about the
