important Financial Interest
Seeks Control.
1T CAUSES MUCH GOSSIP
Rockefeller Gould Combine is the One
Which Has Made the Offer, Accord
Ing to the Report Of Dame
Rumor.
my Associated Press. !

NEW YORK June 9.--rhe statement is
made on the best of authority that an
offer has been made to the syndicate
which has agreed to underwrite the s75,-
C01,000 new Pennsylvania Railroad stock
at 100 by very important financial IN
terest to take over any part or all OF the
stock that may come into the syndicate's
possession. In fact, 1T Is asserted that
this financial interest is ready to take
ali the new stock. 1t is intlmated that
with It's present holdings the possession
or the new stock would probably carry
control OF that potential property.
Tho identity of the interest which seeks
control OF the Pennsylvania Is not dis
closed, but rumor has for some time
attributed such desire to o group OF
very powerful fnanciers, including the
Rockefeller Gould interests In comblna-
ton. 1t is further stated that the pro-
posed purchasers have offered to take
the stock at n fixed percentage over the
syndicate price.
The possibilities OF such deal-change
OF Pennsylvania control-have Deen ire
uuently discussed later In wall street,
where 1t is thought the return or Norman
conditions will reveal some very decided
changes in railroad ownership.
II has been suggested that the acqulsl-
ton OF an influential voice in Pennsylva--
MIA by Rockcfeller-Gonld interest "oulu
put an end to the strained relations that
have so long existed between the most
important railroad Interests In the coun-
try inasmuch as it would give the
Goulds a much desired outlet TO the AZ
lantlc seaboard. more particularly 10 thls
port, and would otherwise adjust num-
her of difficulties which have for a long
time obstructcd the furtherance OIL Tue

THE BROOM HANDLE FACTORY.
The New Owners Making Some Ex-
tensive Improvements.

George A. Colburn, who recently pur-
chased the broom-handle factory on
Bangor street, showed the Journal
reporter through his plant, yesterday
Mr.. Colburn has everything toworkw with
except lumber, and has had number
of orders waiting to be filled fort some
time. It is very difficult to locate mills
which will saw handle wood, as most
of the principal mills sell their slabs,
scrap lumber and even their sawdust to
the pulp mills. Mr.. Colburn has sue
ceeded in locating several, however. in
addition to what he is able to secure
from the Augusta Lumber Company
and intends to take trip through
northern Maine, later inthe fall, for the
purpose of spotting some more. By
next season, he expects to be running
full blast and do flourishing business.
Mr.. Colburn has most thoroughly
equipped and economically managed
plant. The chips are used for fuel, one
lathe making enough to run the
machinery q day, in summer. The
handles are turned green, and have to
be seasoned by steam The exhaust
steam is used for this purpose, and
yesterday there were nearly 10000
handles in the two drying rooms, or
about one car load. There is repair
shop in the building, and the plant is
practically an economic unit. Its
capacity is about "a, 900 handles per day.
The best grades of handles are all
exported, chiefly to London. The
longest are so inches, but 48. az and "a
inch grades are in demand, so wood of
almost any length can be used. Mr..
Colburn contemplates extending his
business by the manufacture of curtain
sticks, as there is a great demand for
them, one Boston firm having agreed to
handle his whole output The manu-
facture of these sticks is rather nice
operation, as they are only 1916 of an
inch in diameter, and they have to be
bored for 10 inches with a SIS inch bit,
but Mr.. Colburn has a machine nearly
completed, which he thinks will do the
business. Mr.. Colburn is a hustler and
has the best wishes of everyone for
success.
