MORGAN WRISTS ERIE
FROM GRASP OF GOULDS
Secures Control to Block
Rival From Seaboard.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-Evidence acCu-
mulated in Wall Street today that large
additional purchases of the stock of the
Erie Railroad Company have been made
in the market in the past month by J. P.
Morgan & Co The definite statement
was made by mar qualified 20 speak
that the control of the Erie Company
cannot now be disturbed without the
consent of J. P. Morgan & Co.
The Morgan purchases Of Erie stock,
it is understood. were made because of
indications that a new interest was buy
ing in the property According to rumor
today, this new interest was the GouIds.
The following is an authoritative
statement made by a banking interest
familiar with the situation:
You can say that the control of the
Erie will not be disturbed from where il
now rests and has heretofore rested
That issto say the control will not pass
without the consent of J. p Morgan &
Co.
Morgan & Co, are bankers. While in
the course of their business at times,
through purchases Of stock. the control
Of a railroad may temporarily rest with
them. such control ordinarily will be
disposed Of in the usual course of bust
ness. The situation is similar to that OF
the Reading company last year"
II is supposed that the plans Of the
Goulds contemplated the making of a
direct connection between the Erie ard
Wabash, the two roads meeting in Indi-
ana and Ohio, as we'll as at Chicago. The
Erie. If secured, would have given to the
Goulds a direct trunk line connection
with the East. md an outlet to the Al
IaDtic seaboard for their great network
Of Western lines of which the Wabash
is part.
In one quarter the opinion vas tx
pressed tonight that as the Vandcr5ilts
and the Pennsylvania Railroad inter
ests we're strongly opposed to the
Goulds gaining an outlet to the Allan
tic, those interests had undoubtedly
thrown their influence toward the main
tenance Of the present Erie control. and
iu fact, might have assisted in he pur-
chase of Erie stock to block rhe Gould
plan.
