down to the Bangor and meet him.
Soule had not showed up but the Presi-
dent found that ne was in town. so after
few words of appreciation for the cor
diality OF his welcome to Bangor, he
said:
II want TO act the part of town crier.
I've got friend lest in the crowd and
if anyone sees Bill Soule. of Island
Falls. Aroostook county. l wish ne
would say to him that | want him to
come to lunch with me"
Everybody laughed and half dozen
voices shouted:
He is here; here with Bill Plum
mer"
Il want him up here insisted the
President.
Mr.. Soule came up. He is a lean,
gaunt-cheeked man with whiskers that
shade from orange next his checks to
cornsilk yellow where the sun has been
at them. He wears a sugar loaf hat
with a broad brim and speaks with a
slow and sure accent.
"Bill" Very Bashful.
He shook hands with the President
bashfully. but was at once pulled to one
side for half an hours conversation. be-
fore he went to lunch with the President.
Governor Hill and Senator Hale and a
number OF other distinguished citizens
of Maine.
The first question the President asked
OF Mr. SoUle was:
bill. is this better than our musk
rat dinner"
This annoyed Mr.. Soule apparently.
but the President explained that many
years ago. when he and Mr.. SOule we're
hunting together in the Maine woods.
they ran out of provisions. and they
could find no living thing TO kill but a
muskrat and 4 fish duck. They cooked
both ''on spec" and tiien tasted both to
see which was the more deadly. They
decided on the muskrat as the better
Of the two.
Mr.. Soule was worried and hoped the
President would forget the occasion.
When a man got to be President he
ought to forget his past. he said.
The President insisted that Bill should
go out with the procession to the fair
grounds. He did. He received almost
as much attention from his fellow citi-
zens as the President himself
An Axe for President.
John King. n prominent citizen, pre-
sented the President with a hunting
axe. The President said that he would
use it en- his next hunting trip.

This action settles the uncertainty a!
to whether the voting trust" of the
company would he continued or not. but
does not give the public any clearer
idea of the controlling interests of the
stock than it had before. The entire
board of directors was present at the
meeting in President George F. Baer's
Office this afternoon with the exception
of Joseph S. Harris. a. J. Antelo, and
Samuel Dickson.
Mystery Not Cleared.
1t was expected that the mystery
which has occupied the attention OF
railroad and financial circles since the
beginning of the year would be cleared
at the meeting This meeting was the
most important since the reorganization
o: the company. and the question was
decided as to whether the Reading
property will continue to be managed
by q voting trust or will be handed
over ~ bDt bNOthIhlhtIE.
the voting trust Will continue and the
stockholders names will probably re-
main as much Of secret as ever.
\ dispa tch from New York states that
it was learned in Wall Street yesterday
that the recent sale of 10000 shares OF
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
stock was to interests representing VIII
liam X. Vanderbilt The statement is
made on authority that when the Read
ing voting trust was dissolved Mr.. Van
derbilt will be found in full control OF
the Reading property.
In local financial circles the belief was
general that the Vanderbilts, through
the New York Central Railroad. control
the anthracite coal fields through the
Reading system. and that the result OF
todays meeting would figure largely in
the settlement Of the strike.
Trust to Continue.
1t is admitted by those best informed
that everything depended on J. Pierpont
Morgan. and It is understood that when
President Baer. OF the Reading was in
New York yesterday in consultation with
Mr.. Morgan, decision was reached as
to whether dividend should be declar-
ed at today's board meeting.
The voting trust will continue for two
years more unless the courts intervene,
and it Will be understood either that Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Baer prefer to keep he
cash on hand available to meet strike
losses or else they have not yet sufficient
stock to control.
The transactions in the stock since he
beginning of the year have been enor-
nous. sufficient TO change the control Of
the road several times, but the mystery
as TO the ownership has not been solved
as transfers of certificates are known
only to Morgan & Co. Reading opened at
GSA on the exchange today. and within
two hours it had jumped to 10. with
many calls for the stock, but later 1t
dropped TO 6g.
The meeting today was called only aft
er Mr.. Morgan consent had been OBJ
tained. The board adjourned indefinite
" ia June and meetings in July and Au-
gust are generally special and for the
purpose OF passing on dividend ques-
tiOns.
