GOULD AND CASSATT
!. HOLD PEACE NEWS
All Their Difficulties Settled,
but Stock Market Conditions
Delay, Formal Announcement
of the Agreement.

Instead of having broken OF negotia-
tions for peace the Gould-Cassat fac
lions have actually settled all their dim
cNltles II d director of the Pennsylvania
Railroad can be believed.
For reasons best known to the inter-
ests involved an announcement of the
terms or settlement will not bo made
tust yet.
The director IN speaking Of the settle
ment said:
There is no truth in the story thai
the efforts to settle the difficulties be-
tween the Goulds and the Pennsylvania
interests have been broken OF. Well, !
may modify that n little. The negotia-
ions MA be called on in that they
have reached the terms OF settlement,
and there is practically nothing now to
negotiate nor TO parley about.
The Evening World had the correct
story of the settlement Feb. 5. The
Pennsylvania will take over the West
Virginia Central IND the Western Mary
land and will turn these roads over 10
the Norfolk and Western. The Wabash
is % come into New York over tho
Pennsylvania system"
This director also remarked that II
was probable that many denials would
come out and that many yarns about a
renewal OF the quarrel would be started.
but that peace had been determined
upon and an agreement reached. From
his remarks the reason for not making
official announcement at this time
was due to stock market conditions.
a member OF one OF the big houses OF
the street which finances about all OF
PennsylvHnla's loans, also said that the
basis for a settlement was as stated by
the director quoted.
