WILLIAMS STRONG DENIAL.

President williams Says Report Is
Evidently u Malicious One-Sea-
board stock in n voting Trust
which Has Ten Years to Run-Sea-
board Could Buy Southern, Says
MIR. Williams, Easier Than South
ern Could Secure seabOard.
Portsmouth, Va, July N.-President
John Shelton Williams and Vice President
st. John were in Portsmouth to-day and
were asked what they had to say in re-
gard to the newspaper story to the effect
that ]. P. Morgan & Co., or the Southern
Railway, had purchased a controlling in
terest in the Seaboard Air Line System
They replied that the report was utter
~ false and was doubtless being circulated
with malicious intent and originated with
the same parties who have been conduct
ing the fight against the Seaboard Air
Line system for the past few years.
To show how absolutely ridiculous the
story is they authorized the statement
that the entire capital stock of the Sea-
board Air Line system has been deposited
in a voting trust, which has ten years TO
run, and, in addition to this a large
majority of the voting trust certificates
are also owned by the voting trustees and
their immediate associates.
President Williams also added:
THE public can safely brand as false
any rumors of this sort. which are being
and probably will continue TO be set in
motion from time to time by certain rail-
way interests inimical to the new Sea-
board and for the evident purpose of adj
versely affecting the business of this sys-
tenn. If the Seaboard wanted to purchase
the Southern Railway it could do SO with
much greater ease than the Southern
could buy the Seaboard."
