JOKE ON JOHNSON

Chas. F. Johnson, formerly of
Bloomsbury, now successful jew
eler OF Hnghesvile, is the victim of a
ajoke. He attended the commence
ment exercises at State College
week before last, and while there
an old gentleman mistook him for
a classmate of forty years ago. Mr..
Johnson, says the Hughesville
Mail, cannot see anything in his
personal appearance to cause one
to imagine that he is older than he
claims to be, and he is busy ex-
planning how the old gentleman
was led to make such mistake.

RAMSEY is DANGEROUS
If HE DOES NOT WIN HIS EN.
DENcE WILL BE VALUABLE
TO THE DISSATISFIED
BoNDHoLDERS


Springfield, H., Sept 22.-The fight
for the control of the Wabash sys-
TEN between Joseph Ramsey and Geo,
Gould is watched with considerable
interest by Springfield and other Wa
bash cities in this section of Illinois
Mr. Ramsey is we'll known in Spring
field and Decatur and has many per
sonal friends in both cities. Mr.. Ram.
sey has openly declared war and has
become a candidate for re election as
president of the road It is generally
believed that Mr.. Ramsey Will cause
Mr. Gould considerable tronDle.
Though believed at first that some
powerful influence was behind him
it was thought that Ramsey is unsup
ported by any clique of financeers. Il
is known that the Goulds own 40
per cent Of the Wabash securities
and in accordance with the custom Of
the family since Jay Gould's days de-
pend for control upon proxies or the
purchase in open mraket Of the other
| il per cent.
The fact that John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., and John w Gates through hold
| ings in Wheeling & Lake Erie and
Wabash Pittsburg Terminal, have a
proxy voting power is well known. but
Wall street does not thing that they
have tied up" with Ramsey. There Is,
however, an independent helding OF
Wabash and allied securities on which
Ramsey sees his hope for reelection
at Toledo
Considerable attention has been at
traeted to the statement made by
President Ramsey in his advertised
call for proxies for the coming cleo
ton, that of the cost of the extensive
Improvement work done on the Wa
bash system in the last ten years "a
least $4,000, 900 was paid out Of ne
earnings"
1t is generally believed that the Wa
bash nebenture B bondholders, VIII

ton Of net profits on their bonds
would be able to utilize With consit
erable effect this statement Of M
Ramsey, either in their suit at La
Tor in any negotiations that may b
made with the management directl
10 secure satisfactory adiustmer
of their claims
Mr Ramsey's statement tends
confirm the views of those investor
in Wabash who have for long tim
contended that the real earning powf
of the company was equal not on
to the payment of fun interest on I'll
debenture A and B bonds, and the
per cent requirements for the pr
