Shanghai during the war was a great

this same club originated perhaps a

accustomed to declare jocularly that he
was trying to get home" He was
graduated from the Western Pennsyl-
vania university at the age of nineteen
and went Immediately to the engineer
ing department of the Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis railroad and
from the first day began to make
good record AS reliable builder of
new roads he gained much reputation
and received many flattering offers
For upward of twenty years he served
as chief engineer and superintendent
on various roads.
In 1890 Mr.. Ramsey attracted the at
tention of President NJ. Il. ingalls, of
the Big -Four, who persuaded him to
act as his assistant While engaged in
that capacity he was elected to the
presidency and vice presidency of sew
eral other roads and in 1898 was made
general manager of the Terminal Rail
road association at st. Louis, where he
still resides Two years later he was
elected vice president-and general man
ager of the Wabash system. In 1901
he succeeded o. ID. Ashley as president.
George jay Gould, spokesman for
the opposing interests, is the eldest
son of the founder of the Wabash sys-
tenn, and during his administration of
the combined Gould properties he has
shown himself capable of safeguarding
the interests of that vast estate From
his boyhood he has made ii his life
object to become familiar with the de-
tail of the great railroad principality
accumulated by his energetic father
jay Gould had him prepared carefully
for matriculation at Columbia, but the
young man declared his preference for
a business career, and the astute
manipulation did not combat his reso-
luton. Under his fathers careful SUI
pervision his eldest son was Initiated
into every feature of the business
game as 1t was then played, and there
is no evidence that George has failed
to keep up to date. He has managed to
keep control of the Wabash in spite OF
hostile interests. 1t Is asserted by those
who are willing to see him overthrown
that the Goulds are in a minority in
the Wabash-that they own only 40
per cent Of the stock. If this be the
Sact, 1t argues eloquently for the SUI
oerior cleverness Of George Jay Gould.

General Baughman's Denial.

General BaQgnman' Denial.
In a letter to the american of
Wednesday last, from Atlantic
City, General l.. Victor Baugh
man says; 'In an article III the
american Monday, bearing on
the relations of the late S. NJ.
Provost, ice.PreSident Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, it was stated
that with the aid of Senator
German and myself, Baltimore
and Ohio State Directors, Mr..
John X. Cowen was 'unmade'
as President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. This
is not true. Neither Senator Cor
man nor myself was ever called
on by the Pennsylvania Railroad
authorities to join with them in
displacing Mr.. Cowen as Presi
dent of the Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad. AS matter of fact
there was not a vote upon the
subject. The resignation OF Mr..
Cowen had been secured by the
Pennsylvania authorities n d
was simply presented to the
Board of Directors without any
action upon the part of the State
Directors of the road, one way
or the other. | wish to further
state that, while the New York
papers contained almost a similar
statement at the time of the
change of offices, Mr.. Cowen per
sonally volunteered to write an
absolute denial of the statement,
as it was both unjust and false
III every particular. Further,
my relations to Mr.. Cowen at the
time were of the most cordial and
friendly character, and | took
special pleasure in voting with
him upon every subject proposed
before the Board of Directors.
OF course, Senator German will
speak for himself upon this ques.
