ACTION LIKELY IN MISSOURI
AGAINST "MiNOEiTY CON-
TROl FINANCING"
May Have Bearing on Wabash EIec-
tiosn and imperil Vice Presi
dent Byrd.

st. Louis, Oct G.-State authorities
have been asked to take cognizarca
ed in the injunction suit of President
Ramsey of the Wabash railroad and
to expose by legal process the minor
ity control method of railroad finan-
ciering.' The subject has been pre-
sented to the Missouri officials in such
{. manner that the announcement OF
an intention to proceed at law is OK
pected within day or two. 1t is prob
able that special counsel will be ap-
pointed by the attorney general to
conduct these cases.
The action in this case may lead
to an extension Of the opinion brought
out in the Northern Securities case
The principle involved is whether a
group of financiers may acquire own
ership or control of one road by
small margin. then exercise this con-
troll to have the road issue bonds in or
der to secure control of another road,
then in the same manner acquire an
other road. and ultimately beget the
condition of one group of minority
security holders dominating large sys-
TENS which, in fact, they do not own.
The procedure will be independent
of the Ramsey suit, and it should be
said that Mr.. Ramsey, so far as is
known, will have NO connection with
it. But some of the evidence which
is to be produced in the Ramsey suit
probably will serve as the basis for
the contemplated action. Mr. Ram
sey has asked the st. Louis circuit
court to restrain the Missouri Pa
cific the ST Louis. Iron Mountain and
Southern railway. the Mercantile
Trust company of New York. Walter
s. Wilson, II. NJ Walker and George
J. Gould from voting the Missouri Pa
cific and the Iron Mountain securities

at the Wabash election at Toledo, q.
next Tuesday.
Friends of Mr.. Ramsey said today
the suit likely will prevent Mr. Gould
of the Wabash. and perhaps, also, from
being elected to the craftsmanship of
the Wabash board of directors. 1t
may also, they said, cause the remov-
al of Vice President A. c. Bird, who
directs traffic on the Missouri Pacific,
the Iron Mountain and the Wabash,
from Office with the Wabash.
Mr.. Gould is president of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Iron Mountain
and chairman of the Wabash board.
Mr.. Bird is vice president of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. the Iron Mountain and
the Wabash. The laws of Missouri
provide that an officer Of one line can
not hold Office in competing line.
The contention in the present case
is that the Missouri Pacific and the
Wabash are competing lines, at least
between St. Louis and Kansas City.
This theory may not affect Mr.. Gould's
plan with regard ~ the Wabash, as
j. is believed here that he does not
wish to be elected president. but pro-
poses to have Vice President Delano
of Chicago elected to this office.
Another contention is that the Office
of vice president in charge of traffic
on all the Gould lines was moved from
ST. Louis to Chicago with the specific
purpose of putting Mr.. Bird beyond
the province of the Missouri law.
The fundamental points to be Sc
lected as the basis for official action
appertain to the financing of the Mis-.
souri, Pacific and the Iron Mountain.
The Ramsey allegation is that the
Gould interests first obtained control
of the Missouri Pacific, and then of
the Iron Mountain through the Mis-
souri, Pacific. and that they are en-
deavoriDg through their control Of
these two roads to secure control of
he Wabash.

DON'T NEGLECT COLD
Neglected Colds Lead to CONSUMPTION.
How Consumption Develops.

Nine cases Of consumption out of ten
occur in this way:
A person catcHe- eola 'rhe cold - not
properly cured, aud another cold is
caught.
This cold is dilly-dailicd ~ n, ether
by Eo treatment " hatrycr ~ come treat
m"nt that is ineftce' uai, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold - caught and a
cough develops. Cough syrup! are re-
sorted to, hGi they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient @ets tired Of
taking medicines aud cough syrup- and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to elop and the
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient is in the first
stages of consumption.
1t was just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not considering
it serious, neglected it, thinking as
many others do, that it would "wear Off"
However, it chung to her tenaciously,
in a serious condition.
fortunately, Peruna had been brought
to her notice, and she took course Of
this remedy before it was too late.
In week the cough and cold were
broken, and a three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Pcruna is doing all the
while. Not q day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have a similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption is
cold. The next steps a failure to cure
it promptly. The third step is the de-
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. 1t is
then consumption in the first stage.
Atany time during the progress OF ca
tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to
its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
If you have taken a cold, buy Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
Thousands Of Testimonials.
We have on file thousands OF testi-
monials from people who have been
cured Of cstarrh of the lungs by Peruna.
We can give our readers only a slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
endorsements we are receiving every
month. Noother physician in the world
has received such a volume of enthu-
siastic letters Of thanks as DR.. Hartman

them.

WEATHER FORECASTS
LONG RANGE PREDICTIONS IDLE

No Legitimate Basis for Estimates
0ased on the Moons Phases Or
Position Of the Planets.
The chief of the Weather Bureau
has recently placed before the public
q pamphlet entitled Long Range
Weather Forecasts. by Prof. e. b. Gar.
riott. that is full of interesting 0iAGs
to one who Is a seeker after the truth
regarding these delusions. A great
many things in 1t are worthy of fur
ther publication but We wish. at this
time. simply to give its conclusions:
I. That systems of long ranSs
weather forecasting that depend upon
planetary meteOrology; moon phases.
cycles. positions, or movements; stsi-
lar Influences, or star divinatiOns: In
Aications afforded by observations Of
animals, birds. and plants. and esti-
mates based upon days, months. sea
sons, and years have no legitimate ba-
sis.
3. That meteorologists have made
exhaustive examinations and compari-
sons for the purpose OF associating
the weather with the various phases
and positions Of the moon in an earn
est endeavor to make advances in the
science along, the line Of practical
forecasting. and have found that while
the moon, and perhaps the planets.
exert seme influence upon atmos-
pheric tides, the influence is too slight
and obscure to Justify a consideration
of lunar and planetary effects In the
actual work OF weather forecasting.
8. That the stars have no appreciar
| BILE influence upon the weather.
4. That animals. birds. and plants
show by their condition the character
of past weather. and by their actions
the Influence of present weather and
the character of weather changes that
may occur within few hours.
s. That the weather Of days.
months, seasons, and years affords no
Indications OF future weather further
than showing present abnormal ccndi-
tions that the future may adjust.
| 6. That six and seven-day weather
periods are too ill-defined and irregu-
| lar to be applicable to the actual work
of forecasting.
Z. That advances in the period and
accuracy of weather forecasts depend
upon a more exact study and unders
standing of atmospheric pressure over
great areas and determination of the
| influences, probably solar, that are re-
sponsible for normal and abnormal
distributions OF atmospheric pressure
over the earth's surface.
8. That meteorologists are not an
| tagonistic to honest, well directed ef-
forts to solve the problem Of long
range forecasting: that. on the con-
trary, they encourage all work in this
field and condemn only those who. for
notoriety or proht or through misdi-
| rected zeal and unwarranted assump-
tions, bring the science of meteorology
into disrepute.
.. That meteorologists appreciate
the Importance to the world at large
of advances in the period of forecast
| ing and are inclined to believe that
| the twentieth century will mark the
beginning Of another period in meteor
illogical science.
