The Chicago Times, referring to
rumors that Gould has tried to get
control Of the Chicago & Alton, says
that q gentleman who, OF all others,
is most competent to speak of the
facts. in the case, said to a Times re-
porter: a.sSome months ago Jay
Gould asked President Blackstone
what he. would have to pay to secure
a controlling interest in the road.
The stock was.then quoted at about
3d.! Mr.. Blackstone replied that it
would cost him not less than $50. He
then explained to Gould that the stock
was not held in large blocks, but was
i'm the hands of q, large number of
shareholders-many of them poor
people who regarded their shares as,
an entirely safe investment. If any
one should attempt to 'buy'up'a, con-
trolling interest, the fact would soon
he bruited abroad, and the holders
would advance the price Of their
stock to unreasonable figures. Gould
admitted that, for speculative pur-
poses alone, he could not afford to
buy a majority of the stock, and that
