RAILROADS.
QUINTET TO
CONSOLIDATE
SUCH THE RUMOR BASED ON
CALL FOR ALTON STOCK.
Minneapolis & st. Louis and Iowa
Central Said to Be Two of the Five
Factors in the Deal-Minneapolis
Railroad Officials Look Upon Re-.
port With Doubt.

1t Is reported in Chicago that the
formation of a committee to receive
deposits OF Alton stocks and the cleo
ton Of II. p. Shonts as president OF
the Glover Leaf are merely steps in
the consolidation Of five roads, Kan
sas City Southern, Alton, Iowa Cen
tral, Glover Leaf, Minneapolis & St.
Louis. The influential hackers of the
plan are said to be E. H. Hartman,
John w. Gates and Edward HaWley.
Messrs. Gates and Hawley come into
control Of Tx. Clover Leaf by the pur-
chase of General Hubbard's holdings.
They are prominent holders IN the
other hnes.
Messrs. Hartman, Gates and HaW-
ley. as we'll as John ]. Mitchell, have
deposited their Alton holdings with
Kuhn. Loci e. Co., the banklng-house
which will receive all of these secur-
tiles as the preliminary to further ne
gotiations.
1t is understood that GenSral Hub
bards Glover Leaf shares were sold
at SO and so for the preferred and
common, respectively. The general
stipulated that outside holders who
wished to sell should receive the same
price and from Hawley and Gates. (
IN Minneapolis, railroad officials
say the story sounds like pipe
dream.
r. p. Shonts was president OF the
Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railroad prior
to It's absorption by the Lake Shore.
The control Of the Glover Leaf Is In
a voting trust. Mr.. Shonts has lived
