the diseases that these medicines have
been recommended to them.

NOT LIKE NORTHERN
Rock Island Consolidation Differs
From .Hin-Morgan Merger. s,
THE LINES ARE PARALLEL
Neither Are They: Competing Lines
& and No Laws Are. "''
- z q, Violated. -. 4 :, -.s.- -

New York, July 26.-LaWyers at work
on the new Rock Island securities hold
ing company say it will not resemble the
Northern Securities company in any par
ticular. Lines controlled by the Rock
usland are to be consolidated. but they are
neither parallel nor competitive. ''}
The Rock Island management, through
counsel, declares it's intention to prove
that all the subsidiary roads that are to
be merged into the Rock Island system
are merely branches and connections with
roads operating in outside territory
Since the Moore brothers and their
associates secured control Of the Rock
Island systelnEt three independent railroads
have been purchased outright and added
to that system. These three roads. are
the Cedar Rapids G Burlington, the
Chocktaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and the Mo-
purpose of . the proposed readjustment
plan to place a majority of the stocks
of each of these subordinate lines in the
custody of the new Rock Island holding
company, along with a majority of the
present Rock Island stock. Outstanding
bonds are to be guaranteed by the new
company - ~ -.
Should the Rock Island take over the
Atchison system a question would arise
as to the status Of the Atchison securities
in relation to the new Rock Island COM
pany. The Rock Island and the Atchison
lines are competitive in various sections
of the country west of the Mississippi
| river. Representatives Of the Rock Island
management asserted to-day that there
was no intention of acquiring a proprie-
| tory interest in the Atchison. The Moore
brothers are holders Of large blocks OF
the Atchison stock, and, according to
| trustworthy information in Wall street
they have been gradually increasing theiI
holdings within the past two weeks. One
| Of their brokers said to-day: = -;
"There is no. necessity of the Rock
| Island people buying control Of the Atch-
| lson. Such a scheme would require more
capital than even the dominant interest
| in Rock Island could afford. The out
standing capital stock of the Atchison is
about S233, ,000, 900, and that is very widely
distributed. The amount Of Atchisor
stock already owned by the Moores anG
| their associates entities them to an influ-
entail representation on the Atchiso1
| board" >-
| Wall street men who have been identi.
| fed with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe since the reorganization eight years
ago, say that there will be no change il
the control of the property, but there
Is a strong probability that the relation,
| between the Atchison and the Rock 1slan(
will be so closely cemented that a new
| itranscontinental line will practically b,
formed. The Rock Gsland, 1t is asserted
will abandon the project of building al
