DISPATCHES CONFIRM
REPORTS OF CHANGE
No radical o4lteraGon in the
Nanagement of the Prop
erty Planned-Ofice and
Employees to Remain.

Private dispatches received in the city
this morning confirm the reports con-
corning the absorption OF the seaboard
AIR Line by the Rock Island-Frisco sys-
TEN. The road has been practically
taken out of the hands OF President
Williams and his associates, and made
the Eastern division OF the newly or
ganized system.
1t is also announced that the Rock
Island is to open an Office in Washing
ton. number OF the officers of the
Rock Island-Frisco system have been
elected voting trustees and directors of
the seaboard.
No Radical Changes.
The dispatches announced, however.
that there are to be no radical changes
in the management Of the property, and
that there are to be no removals of
important officers or employees. The
road Is to be operated as In the past, but
hereafter there is going to be 10 mora
rate cutting, which has distinguished
the Seaboerd n the past
The men who have been elected vot-
ing trustees OF the Seaboard are 3. F.

rectors.
Official Announcement.
The Official announcement of the
change OF hands sent out late yesterday.
Is es follows:
The change Of personnel Of voting
trustees OF the stock of the seaboard Air
Limo Company does rot mean the pur-
chase OF that company by Rock Island or
Frisco interests, although the Frisco
lines extend into Birmingham and are a
part of the Southern situation. It does,
however, emphasize the fact that all the
great railway systems are carrying out
the policy OF more closely cementing the
railway transportation interests OF the
country. which will greatly retard and, 81
is hoped. entirely prevent Generalization
of the rate situation or the unnecessary
construction and duplication OF property.
Attention Is called TO the fact that
With the discontinuance of any further
construction By the Seaboard Air Line
the value Of the properties is greatly
encbanced. And another gratifying fact
at this time, and which is further evil
dence OF the future disposition of the
railways OF the United States, is that
this deal does not call for any financing
or supplying OF new money!
