FRISCO ROAD GOES
TO THE ROCK
ISLAND
Positive Statement to This
Effect, but Officials Are
Chary of Speech-One of
the Largest of Railway
Systems the Result.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Numerous
rumors are afloat in Wall street con-
corning the ST. Louis & San Francisco,
including one of competitive buying
for control by Morgan interests, an
other that the Seaboard Air Line is
buying the stock, and third that Rock
Island interests are after the proper
ty. Official confirmation is lacking in
every case, but the conservative epin-
ion leads to the theory that j. P.
Morgan & Co. will ultimately be found
in control, in which event it is be-
lieVed the property will be turned over
to the Southern railway. There is
practically nothing to show that Sea-
board interests are after the property.
Statements that Mr. Morgan already
dominates Frisco are denied in trust
worthy circles. In fact, it is under
stood that the st. Louis Union Trust
company partly holds the balance of
power the stock being trusted" with
that of President Yoacum and his as
Sociates.
President Yoakum has been a regu-
lar visitor at the Morgan banking
house for weeks past, and has held nu-
merous conferences there with George
w. Perkins, Mr.. Morgans partner.
Some announcements concerning FRS
co is expected in the near future.
In the last hour of the stock market
Morgan & Co. had purchased control of
St. Louis & San Francisco for the
Rock Island. 1t was declared that con-
troll had been acquired through the
purchase of a large amount Of common
stock. According to these same re-
ports the price paid for the stock was
80, 20 per cent in cash, the balance in
notes extending from six to eighteen
months.
President Yokum, when seen at the
office of Morgan & Co., refused to con-
firm or deny the report. Mr.. Perkins,
of the Morgan firm, with whom Mr..
Yokum had been in conference, was no
more communicative.
Dispatches from New Orleans stating
that the Frisco road had bought the
New Orleans belt line could not be
confirmed.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The Record
Herald tomorrow will say: 1t is re-
ported on almost official authority that
the Rock Island has secured control Of
the Frisco system and that the deal
is the forerunner of new and far
reaching community of interest among
Western lines. Within one or two
months, according to the report the
Rock Island will be given representa-
ton on the Santa Fe board and the
Santa Fe interests will have an equal
representation on the Rock Island
board.
The terms on which the Frisco pass
es to the Rock Island are said to be
as follows: For every share of Frisco
common stock, $50 in cash, $45 in pre-
ferred bonds and $50 in Rock Island
preferred stock.
1t is also reported that President
Yobum will be placed in charge of the
new Rock Island. which will be one of
the largest, if not the largest, sys-
TENS in the world under one manage
ment. This acquisition of the Frisco
would add about 5000 miles to the
Rock Island, making it a system near
ly $4,000 miles long. Should the Pere
Marquette be included, the system wiz
be over IA 600 miles

AIMED AT STRIKERS.
Dutch Government Introduces Some
what Novel Bills.

THE HAGUE, Feb. 25.-The pre-
mier, DR.. Kuyper, introduced in the
second chamber of the states general
today three bills in connection with the
recent railroad strike. He explained
that the government considered 1t nee
essary to oppose any unreasonable at
tack on society which would sacrifice
the well being of the people to the de-
sires of a certain class for influence
and to political tyranny The gov
eminent, therefore, proposed to form a
railroad brigade, to insure a regular
service of trains in case of need. The
just complaints of railroad employees
would be adjusted by a royal commits
sion, which would later be intrusted
with the settlement of the situation
from legal standpoint as we'll as re-
garding the conditions of service of
the employees. 1t would also have to
decide what constituted criminal acts.
The bill provides that refusal to do
duty on the part of employees of the
railways or other public services may
be punished by six months imprison-
ment If two or more persons rise in
rebellion the penalty is increased to
four years imprisonment for the ring
leaders or those guilty of criminal acts.
