Shrfver.> assistant to President Loree of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. this at
ternoon gave the quietus to the story pub
lfshed throughout the country to the eff
feet that the Goulds had secured enough
of Baltimore and Ohio stock to have future
control OF the road To The Star corre-
spondent he said:
1t sounds SO much like fairy tale that
1t seems hardly worth a denial 1t is hard
for me to understand at times how these
foolish railroad stories originate. There is
nothing at all in the story.
Another official of the Baltimore and
Ohio, who has just returned from New
York. said:
There is nothing at all in the rumor
that the Gouids are after the Baltimore
and Ohio. 1 know It to be a fact that
neither the Goulds nor the Rockefellers are
buying Baltimore and Ohio stock
"Pennsy" in Safe Control.
The Pennsylvania railroad is in safe
control Of the Baltimore and Ohio. and
am confident that If the Cassatt interests
wanted enough stock to secure absolute
and final control OF the Baltimore and Ohio
they could obtain 1t.
The position of the PENNSYLVANIA in
Baltimore and Ohio affairs Is just now al
most impregnable and at this time es-
pecially. 1t Is hardly likely that the Penn
sylvania would allow a prospective COM
petitOr to obtain control of a great trunk
line like the Baltimore and Ohio. Besides
it would cost in the neighborhood of S7O.-
100000 to secure control of the Baltimore
and Ohio at this time"
The holdings of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in the Baltimore and Ohio, while not
a majority, are believed by those best IN
formed to have sufficient backing in hold
ests to give safe working control for all
time.
The last annual report OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad showed the holdings OF Bal
tmore and Ohio stock by that system to
be 214 800 shares OF preferred. at par value
of SCI. 4S0 600. and 302 933 of common. at
a par value of $50. DOB. 300. making a total
holding Of o17.733 shares. at par value Of
SOL. 773, 800.
About One-Third Of Entire Issue.
The entire holdings constitute about one
100000 shares OF preferred stock and 1000
900 of common stock, total OF 100000
shares
The holdings OF 1855 shares by tho
Northern Central railroad. with holdings
OF the Pennsylvania. strengthen its posi-
ton somewhat. and local railroad and
financial interests express confidence that
the practical working control OF the Bal
timore and Ohio by the Pennsylvania. as
evinced in the election OF President l.. +.
Loree. q former Pennsylvania official, ana
of other Pennsylvania men to the Bald-
more and Ohio service. cannot be captured
by interests antagonistic to those or the

ISLANDER DIES
IN CALIFORNIA

A telegram was received last night
announcing the death of Charles
Smith, for over twenty-five years a
resident in the State of California.
The deceased is an only brother Of
Henry Smith, clerk of the courts, and
Mrs. Caroline Clark, who both survive
him. The sad event occurred yester-
day in the San Francisco City and
County Hospital. The physician in
charge, Dr. McElroy, wrote by the last
mail to Henry Smith informing him
that his brother was afflicted with
tuberculosis. 1t was only yesterday
afternoon that Henry Smith made ar
rangements with the steamer agents
to bring the sick man to Honolulu, and
a ticket was mailed to the hospital,
but death was more swift, and SO the
program for the sick mans return has
fallen through.
Some of the older kamaainas will re-
member the deceased in his younger
days when he worked as a tailor with
Messrs. Fisher & Roth and later for
Mr.. L. B. Kerr. Deceased, who was
a first class cutter, had worked with
several of the prominent tailors on the
coast and was given several offers to
come to Honolulu and work, but he
preferred to stay in colder CLINE and
than quarter of a century, making
only one visit to his home during all
that time.
now in San Francisco, to mourn his
loss, was 45 years old.
