New York, May at is said on
good authority that it is William
Rockefeller and not John D. Rockefel-
Ter who is soon to enter the board of
directors Of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way company, Of the stock of which
corporation the Rockefeller interests
have recently been heavy purchasers,
and it is also understood that one Of
the ''stoekholding interests referred to
by President Gould in his statement
Of Monday as having subscribed for
S12,0000O0 Of the bonds at par and in
terest consisted of William Rockefeller
and associates of his in the Standard
Oil company the other being President
Gould.
Russell Sage. who is a director Of
the Missouri Pacific, said in answer to
question that the directors had on
Monday arranged to meet again We'd
neSday. Will the Rockefeller interests
be represented in the board?" Mr.. Sage
was asked.
''Oh, certainly" he replied. 1--WE shall
give them representation, of course"
Asked as TO the prospect of a divi-

answered:

Tenth ward meeting house. The at

practice in the next room.
The meeting began with a song by
the choir, after which Precinct Chair
man ". J. MeekS called the assem-

order Of the day was the selection of
a permanent chairman and secretary.
George L. Nye being accorded the fatal
number Of votes, was duly installed in
