Article in Magazine Tells' of
Vast Power Held by Late
. E- H- Harriman. ' -
.New York, May lS.Tho greatest
news Item that has been projected In
to Wall street since Harrjman'a death
. was an anonymous article In a recent
magazine. 'And yet "New Tork papers
take no notice or it, It Is entitled,
Had' Harriman Lived." '
."I. have read that article over seve
ral times'" ; ealil a Wall street man.
'.'and It elves me the creeps every time
,1 read it and look at the hand on the
cover .of the. magaalne. A. year tgo
. there were-; three powers In Wa'l
street and the greatest power was Har-
. rlman, and his greatest: power was all
unseen and unknown even by his as
sociates or by, Morgan or the Standard
Un. He had gathered in the Equitable
Life Insurance company arid those great
banking institutions 'Mr. Morgan later
bought from Mrs. Harriman and he
stood to command the railroad deposits
, and banking, of the United States. He
would have hot only the Union Pa-
lflp'a inif till SrtuthArri ,Tnlfi ahIv
In his banking institutions, but . he
would have had the New ,Xortt New
Haven & Hartford and the Vanderbilt
' system there lso. Morgan would no
longer have been the American banker,
only an American bond dealer v
"Whose hand was It that held the
earthquake shaking the house of Mor-
was . the hand of Harriman. He had
Hill's Northern Paclfio in pne hand
ana nn grip maae tne snarpest two
hour panto Wall street ever saw, and
gave the house' of Morgan the .biggest
shaking it ver had. .
"The hand of Morgan, free, easy, open,
generous, has been clinched ever, since
terrible Thursday. More and more
the policy has become secretive. Its
loans are not made openly or directly.
It has been gradually changing, all Its
can see when he reads 'that article what
' a second shock Mr. Morgan must have
received when he learned after Mr.
Harriman' death . that the , financial
power of the United States after 5 the
.panjo- of 1907 was not in the hand of
Morgan, but in the dead hand of E. H.
Hurfiman." .

COPER HFTO AND ALDER
By E, I. -
Again wp are among thieves.- A strong
testimonial ,to this fascinating form of
dramatic study is that no. play written
about a thief has ever been a failure.
This is the' third season fdr Henri
Bernstein's The Thief." That Its wear-,
ing Qualities and rare potency are not
one whit dimmed by repetition ,' Is at
tested by the Iost-in-admiratiorr hosts
that greeted its performance last night
at the Bungalow.
It has never been or much moment'
Just who played "The Thief; in the
hands of any capable players, it will de
light, because W . this particular lri
stance, '.'The play's the thlng.'f It is
one of those plays that call into activ
ity the emotions of the higher kind,
that group relating to the constructive
growth of character, rather than to its
destructive side. It Is so vivid, so in
tensely dramatic, so splendidly4 symmet
rical and deals with a vital and Intimate
subject ! so brilliantly, that It.; has
stamped its author aa one of the great
est playwrights of the century;- "
The poignant story in which the
wife . of deflated pocketbook becomes
swamped under a colossal load of debt,
incurred by arraying herself auperbly
to retain her husband's love and ad
miration, as is frequently seen in life.
aa it is lived in what we call ;aoc!ety
and this suffering woman of Infallible
taste finally stooping' to steal. Is .-fa
miliar. .' ' : ..
The Thlef, is well cast and beauti
fully mounted, ' bearing the trademark
of that distinguished manager, Charles
Frohman. There are no brilliant play
era in the list, . but they are all good;
we might say, exceptionally good. The
one ' glowing role falls to Miss Ef lie
Shannon, who . has many artistic at
tributes. J!hecap-les the big moments

written, with emotional repression ..that

One Million Dollars

This great multt-milltonaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of his
stomach.. He allowed his dyspepsia to
run from bad to worse until in the end
It became incurable. His misfortune
should serve as a warning to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia
for a few years will give everything he
owns ror a new stomach.
