M. & 0. WILL BE OPERATED
 AS AN INDEPENDENT ROAD
President Spencer of Southern
 Submits to Interview
PLEASED WITH CONDITIONS
Says the Road Was Acquired as an investment and Not as a Specu- lation-He Talks interestly
 of the Future.

President Samuel Spencer of the South ern Railway Company states that the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, recently &C., quired by the Southern, would continue to be operated as an independent system with a separate set of officials. MT Spen- cer has been in Alabama this week, hav- ing passed through Birmingham Tuesday enroute to Mobile. where he arrived Tues day afternoon. On his arrival in that city he was met by delegation of prominent citizens who extended to him a cordial welcome to the city.
 In interview with reporter of the Register, MT. Spencer Is quoted as fol- lows concerning his plans for the Mobile and Ohio system;
 'I have made no definite plan, as yet" replied Mir. Spencer. "as the matter pre- sents questions which must first be stud led, but in general way I can tell you that there will be improvement made as 1t becomes needed. As to the details with regard to the future of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, I can give you no lnfor- nation just at this time as they are mat
 
 largely determined after consultation with the officers in charge of the road.
 When we acquired our terminal fa- clities in St. Louis it became evident to me that by acquiring the Mobile and Ohio Railroad we could not only strengthen our own system in our west ern territory, but would at the same time greatly strengthen the Mobile and Ohio The requirement. of the Mobile and Ohio by tho Southern system will give the Mo- bile and Ohio just ten times as many terminal facilities in St. Louis as she heretofore possessed and will make that line practically a short line to the gulf
 I've are not spectators in the railroad business, but legitimate owners of the property, and we look to make the in- vestment pay in a legitimate way, by get ting the money out of the traffic which we do. We have guaranteed to pay 4 per cent on the stock of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, which Is $2OOo per year more than they have ever paid, and as .se must pay this amount whether the Mobile and Ohio earns 1t or not, it is reasona- bic to suppose that we will use all our efforts to make the road earn this md more.
 'I have spent the day in looking over tho terminals of the Mobile and Ohio and l find that they are well placed and In good condition. I have also met good many of your prominent business men and an, glad to find that they are pro- gressive, for, after all, the business of a city depends largely upon It's business

men. The railroads can only haul the traffic that offers. but 1t Is the business men who must make the demand for the goods that constitute the trafficc. The increaseo facilities which the Southern will give the Mobile and Ohio at St. Louis and the financial backing will greatly strengthen that road for good to the port of Mobile. l was glad 10 find that Mobile Is Il progressive city and that her busi ncas is steadily increasing, especially in the matter of the export business to Gu ba-
 "The Mobile and Ohio Railroad will be conducted as an independent system and will continue to be known as the Mobile and Ohio It will not be amalgamated into the general system of the Southern. Just what shape the management of this division will take has not yet been per fected, but will be in due time, as all these matters of detail will take time.
 1T was well pleased with the result of the deliberations o5 the Mississippi raii- road com mission, ard 1T, tact we did not anticipate any other rtcult, for We felt sure that when the matter wa3 put before them in it's true light that they would arrive at the same conclusion that we had before making the purchase of the Mobile and Ohio. We had looked into the laws in regard to the matter of railroad consolidation before the requirement of the Mobile and Ohio, and were satisfied that there had been TO law violated by such acuuirement. We must do business in the states as law-abidng citizens, and cannot afford to be there as law breakers.
 "As I said before, the main purpose of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was to strengthen it, and in strengthening it to strengthen ourselves in a section of our territory where we needed strengthening. I look for the improvement of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to be immediate, but at any rate it will not be very long be- fore that improvement begins, though cannot now go into details"
 President Spencer, who is accompanied by his wife, who Is a niece of Mrs. Au- gusta Evans Wilson, left on the after noon Louisville and Nashville Railroad train for New Orleans, where he will re- main over night and part of today, re- turning this afternoon to this city.
