That
's
plain
.
Something
has
started
them
off
in
full
cry
.
I
suppose
my
resignation
may
have
had
something
to
do
with
it
.
Anyhow
,
every
one
of
the
banks
in
which
they
have
any
hand
has
uniformly
refused
to
come
in
.
To
make
sure
that
I
was
right
I
even
called
up
the
little
old
Third
National
of
Lake
View
and
the
Drovers
and
Traders
on
Forty-seventh
Street
.
That
's
Charlie
Wallin
's
bank
.
When
I
was
over
in
the
Lake
National
he
used
to
hang
around
the
back
door
asking
for
anything
I
could
give
him
that
was
sound
.
Now
he
says
his
orders
are
from
his
directors
not
to
share
in
anything
we
have
to
offer
.
It
's
the
same
story
everywhere
--
they
dare
n't
.
I
asked
Wallin
if
he
knew
why
the
directors
were
down
on
the
Chicago
Trust
or
on
you
,
and
at
first
he
said
he
did
n't
.
Then
he
said
he
'd
stop
in
and
lunch
with
me
some
day
.
They
're
the
silliest
lot
of
old
ostriches
I
ever
heard
of
.
As
if
refusing
to
let
us
have
money
on
any
loan
here
was
going
to
prevent
us
from
getting
it
!
They
can
take
their
little
old
one-horse
banks
and
play
blockhouses
with
them
if
they
want
to
.
I
can
go
to
New
York
and
in
thirty-six
hours
raise
twenty
million
dollars
if
we
need
it
.
"
Addison
was
a
little
warm
.
It
was
a
new
experience
for
him
.
Cowperwood
merely
curled
his
mustaches
and
smiled
sardonically
.
"
Well
,
never
mind
,
"
he
said
.
"
Will
you
go
down
to
New
York
,
or
shall
I
?
"
It
was
decided
,
after
some
talk
,
that
Addison
should
go
.
When
he
reached
New
York
he
found
,
to
his
surprise
,
that
the
local
opposition
to
Cowperwood
had
,
for
some
mysterious
reason
,
begun
to
take
root
in
the
East
.
"
I
'll
tell
you
how
it
is
,
"
observed
Joseph
Haeckelheimer
,
to
whom
Addison
applied
--
a
short
,
smug
,
pussy
person
who
was
the
head
of
Haeckelheimer
,
Gotloeb
&
Co.
,
international
bankers
.
"
We
hear
odd
things
concerning
Mr.
Cowperwood
out
in
Chicago
.
Some
people
say
he
is
sound
--
some
not
.
He
has
some
very
good
franchises
covering
a
large
portion
of
the
city
,
but
they
are
only
twenty-year
franchises
,
and
they
will
all
run
out
by
1903
at
the
latest
.
As
I
understand
it
,
he
has
managed
to
stir
up
all
the
local
elements
--
some
very
powerful
ones
,
too
--
and
he
is
certain
to
have
a
hard
time
to
get
his
franchises
renewed
.
I
do
n't
live
in
Chicago
,
of
course
.
I
do
n't
know
much
about
it
,
but
our
Western
correspondent
tells
me
this
is
so
.
Mr.
Cowperwood
is
a
very
able
man
,
as
I
understand
it
,
but
if
all
these
influential
men
are
opposed
to
him
they
can
make
him
a
great
deal
of
trouble
.
The
public
is
very
easily
aroused
.
"
"
You
do
a
very
able
man
a
great
injustice
,
Mr.
Haeckelheimer
,
"
Addison
retorted
.
"
Almost
any
one
who
starts
out
to
do
things
successfully
and
intelligently
is
sure
to
stir
up
a
great
deal
of
feeling
.
The
particular
men
you
mention
seem
to
feel
that
they
have
a
sort
of
proprietor
's
interest
in
Chicago
.
They
really
think
they
own
it
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
the
city
made
them
;
they
did
n't
make
the
city
.
"
Mr.
Haeckelheimer
lifted
his
eyebrows
.
He
laid
two
fine
white
hands
,
plump
and
stubby
,
over
the
lower
buttons
of
his
protuberant
waistcoat
.
"
Public
favor
is
a
great
factor
in
all
these
enterprises
,
"
he
almost
sighed
.
"
As
you
know
,
part
of
a
man
's
resources
lies
in
his
ability
to
avoid
stirring
up
opposition
.
It
may
be
that
Mr.
Cowperwood
is
strong
enough
to
overcome
all
that
.
I
do
n't
know
.
I
've
never
met
him
.
I
'm
just
telling
you
what
I
hear
.
"
This
offish
attitude
on
the
part
of
Mr.
Haeckelheimer
was
indicative
of
a
new
trend
.
The
man
was
enormously
wealthy
.
The
firm
of
Haeckelheimer
,
Gotloeb
&
Co.
represented
a
controlling
interest
in
some
of
the
principal
railways
and
banks
in
America
.
Their
favor
was
not
to
be
held
in
light
esteem
.
