EXCITES GREAT SURPRISE.
Appeal of President of Wabash to Com
tinue in Office
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 15.-Great surprise
was expressed in the financial district
of this city today when the public ap-
peal of Joseph Ramsey, Jr., president
of the Wabash railroad, to the stock
holders of the company to continue
him in office became known
At the office of George j. Gould. no
statement could be obtained concern
ing Mr.. Ramsey's action. John 2.
Ramsey, son the president of the Wa
bash, was seen today AT what do
estimate the holdings of the Gould
party?" he asked.
Il understand that they amount to
40 per cent he replied.
1.-The next largest owners are the
Rockefellers, are they not?"
''That is my understanding re-
piled Mr.. Ramsey.
"My father" he continued. has the
support of several large stockholders
in this fight. and, of course. expects
to win. There has been some dissatls-
faction as to the way earnings have
been applied.
The views of my father on this
point have clashed with those of Mr..
Gould.
There were only two ways of get
ting over this difficulty-my father
should leave the company or else the
should be turned over 10 the
interests in sympathy with his views.
Mr. Ramsey was asked to surrender
The Office of president. and was 70"
doing so at once, but holders of large
blocks of Wabash securities persuad-
ed him not to do SO. The same in
terests now wish him not to sever his
connection with the company at the
expiration of his term. which occurs
on October 10. but to continue as
president, and they have pledged their
support in a fight to secure the turn
ing over of the control to indiViGjals
holding the same views that he holds
as to the best way of operating the
road"
Are these individuals the Rookie
fellers?" Mr.. Ramsey was asked.
Il really cannot say" he replied.
