REORGANIZATION DELAYED.
Financial Interests Held Back on
Account Of Gates.

Financial Interests Held Back ON
Account of Gates.
New York. April 2S.-The Evening Post
says:
It has been reported in Wall street for
some days past that the reorganization of
the Kansas City, Plttsburg and Gulf was
being delayed through the reluctance of
financial interests to become Interested in
the property on account of the connec-
ton of John w. Gates with it,
The announcement that the time for re-
ceiving deposits of securities under the
plan has been extended until June has
been interpreted as supporting this view.
The New York interests in the company
declined to-day to make any positive
statements as to whether there is any
foundation for this report.
tt was stated, however, that nearly
unanimous assent had been obtained from
the security holders and that reorganiza-
tion was going ahead as rapidly as any
similar undertaking could be carried
through. The new securities had been pre-
pared and signed and were to be shipped
TO Europe as soon as the addresses had
been prepared.
A representative of one of the interests
which had been active in the reorganiza-
ton said to-day:
ut is not correct to say that Mr. Gates
controls the property, as has been stated.
While he has been interested in ii and
while the reorganization was carried out
under the plan of the Philadelphia COM
mittee the legal matters have been at
tended to by Max Pam as its counsel, I
don't think that either Mr.. Gates or the
Philadelphia committee have a very in
fuential voice in the company's affairs at
present The active influence in the new
company will be The New York banking in
terests represented by Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
and Hartman & Co., who have underwrlt-
ten the new bonds"

Street, Near Punchbowl, for
Fifteen Thousand Dollars.
DIR. John S. McGrew, the well-known
physician and surgeon, has just COM
pleted another real estate deal of some
magnitude. The present purchase in
cludes the three cottages on Beretania
street, near Punchbowl street, formerly
known as the Sayers' property.
The piece measures 200x150 fronting
on Beretania street. The price paid
was $4,000. When interviewed last
evening by a Republican reporter DR..
McGrew said:
"The reason why so greatly desired
the property was that it was almost i'm
possible for me to open up the rest of
my adjacent possessions without that
place. You see, own almost all the
block except little piece on Hotel
street; l now want that piece and
then my improvements will be COM

tear down the buildings now on the
ground and erect cottages. There will
be not less than twelve new buildings
on the premises"
