NY. CENTRAL CHANGES HANDS
But Vanderbilts viii Still Have Voice
in Management.

New York, Marcs 25.-ControI of the
New York Central and direction of its
operation have passed into new hands,
according to information received from
trustworthy sources, the Tribune says
today. Control has not been Wrested
from the Vanderbilts. Thera has been
no friction and the change is along lines
approved by William x. Vanderbilt.
The new control is vested in the COM
bination known as the Rockefeller
Pennsylvani Morgan interests; for a
long time the New York Central has
been operated in harmony with the
Pennsylvania In fact the Vanderbilts
are the largest individual owners OF
Pennsylvania stock
In giving up control it is announced,
there is no surrender of interests IN
the properties The Vanderbilt family
will retain a large holding and voice
in the management although the re-
sponsibility viii be shifted. There have
been reports that there viii be a mer-
ger of the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania and that the New Haven
will eventually be taken into the COM
bination. This is believed to be prema-
ture If not untrue. The two properties
can be best operated separately at pres
ent A merger may come later, but II
is said it is unlikely IN the near fu-
ture.
1t is understood that no startling
change would be made now and that
none is planned for the immediate 1u-
ture It is possible at next annual
meeting some changes may be made in
the directory. Mr.. Morgan is now IN
the board as is William Rockefeller It
is likely that at the next meeting the
Pennsylvania may secure representa-
ton All that is certain is that the bur
den of control is shifted to other hands
and that the socalled Rockefeller-Mor-
gan Pennsylvania combine viii in the
future operate the New York Central
system, acting in accord with the Van
derbilt family. but relieving the Van
derbilts of the onerous duties and the
exacting details of manag cement

As for the rumored agreement of the

II is not considered likely that either the

Changes Time With View of Getting
Mail Between Chicago and K. @.

Kansas City. March Z5--The Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy and the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroads are en-
gagged in bitter struggle for the gov
eminent contract to carry the mails
between Chicago and Kansas City
The struggle has come to an open war
fare which has disturbed the passen-
ger service and involved three rail-
roads in a bad snarl. The trouble be-
came public when notice was given by
the Santa Fe management that begin
ming next Sunday the California limit
ed would arrive in Kansas City at 8
a. m. instead of S.35 and leave tS:1Oin-
stead of o'clock. This change will
cause both the Burlington and the Al
ton trains into Kansas City from the
east to miss Santa Fe connections for
the west. 1t will also necessitate the
laying over for more than two hours of
all mail brought in by the Burlington
and Alton. tt is understood that the
Santa Fe's train for the southwest
known as the Oklahoma train. will
hereafter leave Kansas City at $40 in
stead of 80. thereby missing all east
ern connections. Santa Fe officials ad-
mitted that these connections were
broken with the express view of secur-
ing the mail contracts which the Bur
hngton now has.
