It May Be Operated as an Independ
ent Michigan System.

DETROIT. December 2O.-George w.
Perkins of New York. who is here in
specting the Pere Marquette railroad and
comforting with officials Of the road, said
yesterday that the Pere Marquette road is
to be operated as an independent AAchi-
gan system with the view Of doing every
thing possible to develop it's extensive
territory in the state.
The principal employees all who have
anything to do with making business or
are concerned with directing operation,
are to be taken into a profit-sharing plan
to be worked out as soon a s possible. Mr.
Perkins said that Michigan will have
a good representation on the directorate,
but not at once, adding:
The road Is earning money, and we
hope that as a-&Michigan road it will earn
more. The Pere Marquette is peculiar
among railroads, being PRACTICAL a one
state system. and it will be operated as
such. 1t is wonderful to- one studying
the subject to see how Michigan has
developed industrally and in general BUSH
ness since the timber was cut away
y President William Cotter presided at the
conference. Judson Harmon of Cincin-
natl, the retiring receiver, reviewed the
two years of his receivership and intro
duced Mr.. Perkins.

dent Cotter, General Supt. Trump Traf-
fic Manager Patriarche, General Passen-
ger Agent Moeller. General Solicitor Stew

or losses over yesterdays closing hsures.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The meeting of the stock exchange today
was not unlike. in it's general tenor, Its
predecessors of recent days both as re-
CARDS the volume of business done and the
slight changes made in the figures. The
small lot buying which has been the CHAR
acteristic feature all along Is still In evil
dence. and some days it is greater in
amount than ,on others. 1t has never
reached~1arge proportions. but the same
comment might be made on similar
movement in the larger market OF Wall
street
The chief interest continues to center IN
the Washington railway securities, al
though there was not much trading IN
them today. What there was came from
sources that are looked upon as repre-
sentative of substantial interests, and Doth
the bonds and the preferred stock were
wanted. The bid for the bonds. however,
did not result in any sales. while Two
ffty-share lots of the preferred and a
fractional lot were bought.
In the current gossip that is going on,
especially as to the meeting of the stock
holders next month. 1t is asserted That
financial-nen who are asked by Stock
holders as to the course to pursue In re-
gard to giving their proxies on their stock
for the coming election are advising not
to give them until the slate is .:nown
which those asking for the proxies intend
to vote at the election.
1t is evident that some sort OF under
standing as to the makeup CT the next
board of directors is wanted, and no doubt
that will be forthcoming especially If 1t
should be found that enough votes to
control is not at hand. Perhaps 1t will
be furnished any way, for it appears there
is no disposition to have any friction or
at least If there is it has not as yet been
manifested.
There seems to be some reluc,ance to
mention names for the presidency OF the
company. but whether that arises from
uncertainty as to exactly where the diff
ferent parties stand in relation to the con-
troll or lack of an understanding about
the man to place in that position 1t is
rather difficult to determine.
