To Attend Board Meetings.

New York, Sept. 4.-The presence
here Of an unusually large number
of railroad presidents from all over
the country gave rise to reports in the
financial districts today that a confer
ence of executive heads of various rail-
roads was being held to discuss the
two cent rate propositions and other
questions affecting railroads now un-
der public consideration.
These reports were denied b. rail
road officials who stated that large
number of board meetings were sched-
uled to be held at this time and that
the presidents of railroads were her7
to attend the meetings.
1t is most likely however that the
heads of the railroads, in their in
formal meetings, will discuss the ques-
tion of railroad legislation and mon
etary situation which has to some ex-
tent lessened new railroad building
and improvements.
1t was stated at the Office of J. P.
Morgan and Company this afternoon
that no formal conference of railroad
presidents had been called.
