New YORK, December lin the pres
enos of representative Of Comptroller
Coler, the safety deposit boxes that have
remained closed and sealed since the
death OF Cornelius Vanderbilt, will Ia
opened tomorrow or Thursday.
The schedule OF securities prepared
for filing with the surrogate discioset
some interesting facts. 1t had been gen
orally supposed that the Vanderbilts held
what approached a controlling interest
in the New York Central railroad, whose
capital stock is Sl15, OOU,0 900. Yet at the
time OF his death, Cornelius Vanderbilt
held but 81, 600 shares OF New York Gen.
trail stock. valued at Far at ". 0O0,0O0. de
was not the owner OF q single New York
Central main line bond.
When this famous refunding schemes OF
the New York Central, Lake Shore and
Michigan Central railroads were put
through 1t was generally charged in the
financial district that the Messrs. Van
derbilt had been guilty OF rather shrewd
piece or finanoiering at the expense OF ths
holders OF the common stock of the two
roads.
The schedule OF the estate utterly re-
flutes this charge and proves beyond ques
ton that MIR. Vanderbilt kept faith with
the ckholders CT the systems.
The schedule also shows that Mr.. Van
derbilt did not own single share Of
Union Pacific stock, another road sup
posed to be controlled by the Yanderbiitf.
The Michigan Central, another road,
the control OF which some years ago
passed into the hands OF the Vanderbilts
is represented 10 the schedule of MIR. Van
derbiIts holding by but 100 shares O
stock.
The connection between the Vanderbilt
interests and j. Pierpont Morgan Will
be pointed out in the heavy holdings o.
Southern railway stock shown. MIR
Vanderbilt had ~, 300 shares of the DOM
mon stock, of which the Morgan banking
house received 5000. 600 worth in the re
organization.
. or Lake Erie and Western stock, Mr.
Vanderbilt held 1900 shares, which, 1
is understood, were purchased for him b.
