tomorrow will publish a story that
combination formed by John D. Rookie
teller, George Gould and other capt.
talists has practically secured control

Teller and Gould interests is in fur
therance Of plan to secure control of
all railroads from the West to the sea-
board, including the Baltimore & Ohio,
and eventually the Pennsylvania rail-

business proposal in which the syndi-
cate has undertaken to secure control
of the greatest tonnage producer in
the world, the United States Steel cor
poration, and to provide means for its
transportation as well as for the inn
mense tonnage made possible by the
advent of the Wabash into the Pitts
