GOULD WINS IN
ME WABASH Fight
All Six of the Bondholders'
Directors Elected Today
Are Gould Men
CONTINUES OBJECTIONS
Gould Had 22s,57o Votes Against 31,-
$40 Held by Ramsey - Tuesdays
Nominations withdrawn Today by
Gould and New Ones Substituted
Fight May be Continued in Courts.

Toledo, Oct. 11.-George j. Gould
this morning won a decisive victory
over Joseph Ramsey, Jr, in the con-
test for the control of the Wabash
road, lelecting all six directors to be
chosen, by the bondholders.
The vote cast by Gould was 228,510,
against $3.50 for Ramsey. The latter
claimed the right to vote under the
cumulative system, which would have
given him 191,O40 votes. This was
disallowed by the tellers.
When the meeting opened, George
Greer, for Gould, withdrew the nomi-,
nations made yesterday and substi-
tuted the names Of Thomas n. Hub
bard, E. T. Jeffrey, John 7. Terry
Winslow S. Pierce, R. NJ. Galloway and
E. T. Welles. The names withdrawn
were those Of Russell Sage. Robert c.
Clowry and w. B. Saunders. Vice
President Blodgett, as chairman of
of the bondholders' caucus, announced
the total votes cast by the bondhold-
ers was 260,350, and Ramsey at once
offered objection, declaring that his
private count differed from the num-
Der stated by Blodgett to the extent
of 1O, 1000 votes He demanded the right
to check his list with that held by the
inspectors, but after a long argument
this was denied him by the chairman.
Ramsey was asked II he decided to
make any nominations, but through
his counsel declined, saying he would
vote for whom he pleased. and did not
care to nominate anybody in advance
of the vote.
been announced a caucus of the stock
holders was called to order and the
same tedious examination of proxies
that consumed so much time in the
caucus was commenced.
It promised to continue even longer
than the examinations Of yesterday.
It IL admitted by Ramsey's attorneys
that his greatest strength lay in the
bond proxies and inasnluch as he failed
to elect himself director this morning
he has no chance in the stockholders
caucus
Yesterday when objection was made
to voting stock held by the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain railroads,
Judge Doyle served notice on the cau-
Gus, that if the stock was voted against
his protest, the election would be con-
tested. After the election this morn
ing, he declared he was not prepared
to say just when or where the contest
would be made, but it was certain one
would be commenced in short time.

Julian Richards was expected In the
city today from Waterloo, which has
revived talk among his friends as to
the prospects of his candidacy for sec
retary of state. Although there has
been little said in the newspapers OF
Mr. Richards candidacy his friends
are loud in saying that he is far from
having dropped out of the race, and
furthermore predict that he will have
the solid support of the Third con-
gressional district and will b.. nomi-
mated They pin their faith to the
idea that Mr.. Morrow Of Aftor will be
nominated treasurer, and that when
the state convention meets N[orrow's
nomination will be practically conced-
ed. This they argue will clear the
Third district situation by getting rid
of Kretschmer of Dubuque, and thus
leave the field open in that part OF the
state for Richards. They recognize
that the secretary of state is nominated
before the treasurer, but beliGve that
things will be so settled by that time
i'm favor of Morrow that there will be
no difficulty This situation naturally
lines up the Richards people with the
Morrow people, as Richards success
depends upon the defeat of Isretsch-
men.

TERM OFFERED
IS TOO SHORT
Thomas F. Egan Declines to
Accept a Place in the
Board of Public Works
FULL TIME OR NOTHING
'Appointee Says He Expected
to Serve for Three Years,
but Mayor PrOffered One

Thomas E. Egan, one Of the recent
appointees of Mayor Schmitz, has de-
clined the office of Commissioners Of
Public Works. When the offer was
made to him he understood that the
term of office would be for the full
time, three years, and on that oondi-
ton he was willing to act as one of the
Commissioners. Yesterday morning,
however, when he learned that he was
appointed to act for only one year he
threw UP the job and promptly init
mated to the Mayor that it was to be
for three years or nothing. The Mayor
was taken somewhat aghast when he
learned that Egan would not take the
job.
1t Is understood the Mayor hopes to
adjust the matter In some way to in
duce Egan to rescind his action. Egan,
in speaking Of the matter, said:
have declined to accept the Office as OF
the Commissioners of Public Works offered to
me by Mayor Schmitz- 1t had been my inten-
ton to accept the position until this morning,
when learned that, instead CT the office run
ming for the full term, was to be appointed
for only one year. This was indicated in
my formal notice Of appointment which re-
ceived this morning. at once teiephonec TO

ously between the Mayor and myself had al

Upon these conditions chairman of the La

take the position. 1t was never intimated to
me that the office would be other than for the
full term

spirit of vindictiveness whatever. When tele-
phoned to the Mayor this morning and gave
him my deciination he had very little to say

arisen which made change in his programme.
/ do not know what they WERE but think

In speaking Of the unexpected ac-
ton of Egan in throwing up the billet
offered to him, Mayor Schmitz last
night said:
I have received no formal communication
from Mr.. Egan in regard to his declination Of
the office l offered to him. 1t Is true that
there seems to have been some misunderstand-
ing between MIR. Egan and myself to the
term of the office. He expected, evidently,
that his appointment would be for three years.

GRATEFUL GIRL KISSES
OLD SENATOR CULLOM
Galesburg Miss Travels to Washington

Philippines.

Galesburg Miss Travels to Washington
ton to Keep Soldier Lover From
Philippines.
Senator Cullom received a hearty
kiss from a pretty girl in the room of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations recently.
The girl was Miss Minnie Swigert
of Galesburg, who had saved up s12o
with which to purchase the freedom
of her sweetheart, John Pierce, who is
a private in the Hospital Corps of the
United States army.
This money was deposited with the
proper authorities. Pierce looked for
ward to his discharge In time to marry
Miss Swigert during the holidays. He
was thunderstruck therefore the other
day when he received orders to leave
with his company for the Philippines.
He wired the news to his sweetheart
and that young woman promptly came
all the way from Galesburg to Wash
ington to see Senator Cullom about 1t.
Miss Swigert went to the room of
the Committee on Foreign Relations,
interrupting Senator Cullom while he
was poring over the treaties pending
with foreign countries. She told him
her story and Senator Cullom took up
the telephone, rang up Surgeon Gen.
eral O'Reilly and pleaded for the SOL
dier lover.
Don't send him to the Philippines,
general" pleaded Senator Cullom.
The girls face was deadly pale and
she was intensely agitated. Ciilom
turned from the telephone and said:
THAT matter is all arranged"
WHAT exclaimed the girl, jump
ing from her chair. Isn't he going
to the Philippines" ?"
mo, he'll stay at home"
'Oh, you dear old man." gasped the
maiden, leaping into Senator Cullom's
arms and giving him a hearty kiss.
You dear. dear old man."
Then she ran from the room, 1t not
being long before Private John Pierce,
Hospital Corps, received a message
