cially mentioned as thus being transferred

says: MRS. Brice has not sold her Lake
Erie and Western stock, and as far us
know she does not intend to sell 1t. i do
not know OF any large blocks of the stock
having changed hands or about to be
transferred. II any such deal as Is ru-
mored we're under way, / should probably
know about it."
Two of the other directors of the Lake
Erie and Western said that they knew
nothing OF any movement for transferring
control of the road, although the act evil
IDENTIFY in the stock might indicate that an
attempt by certain interests We're trying
TO purchase controlling interest. Only
one meeting of the directors had besn
held since the death OF President Bricc,
and at that meeting the subject of sale
Of the road was not discussed or even
mentioned.
1t was said by some persons that the

could others previously referred to con-
