ROCKEFELLER DENIAL.
Does Not Control West6rn Nary
land Securities. 1t Is Said.

While II was admitted yesterday that John D.
Rockefeller was large holder of Western Mary
land securities and therefore In a position have
active voice in the reorganization and final dis
position of the property, IL authoritativey de-
MED that controlling majority of general lien
bonds and stock had been placed in his hands
trustee to dispose of he saw fit. Alvin ".
krech. chairman Of the protective committee OF
general lien bondholders, which includes among its
members two representatives, OF Mr. Rockefeller
said that far at least the general lien bonds
concerned the report was unfounded.
a majority of these bonds. he said, had been de-
posted with his committee and in its
possession. and neither Mr. Rockefeller any
other individual had control Of them. Winslow s
Pierce another member of the committee, who is
personal counsel for George J. Gould while neither
denying nor affirming the published statements
garding Mr. Rockefeller's control of the property
said that they had been greatly exaggerated. He
denied that a majority of the stock and bonds had
been pooled and turned over TO the Rockefeller in
terests.
Mr.. Rockefellers investment in the securities
of the Western Maryland is said TO amount to
about 100000, which, the market value OF
the property is around s3s 900 0c0, would give him
a controlling interest in the property. George ].
Gould said recently that he did own a con-
trolling interest in the road. In some circles
usually well informed. il said that the Rookie
Teller interests absolutely controlled the Western
Maryland outside of any pooling arrangement, and
consequently could do what they pleased with it.
Those making this assertion said however, that
they did not believe any disposition would he
made of the property that would in any way an
tagonize the other Gould properties.
Interests closely identified with the Gould lines
said that In addition to his Western Maryland
holdings Mr.. Rockefeller also a substantial
holder of Missouri Pacific stock. They said that
he had made heavy purchases of the stock at the
low prices that had prevailed in the last few
months.

William T. Evans. who has brought suit against

are spurious, out of the city yesterday and
therefore no statement could be obtained from,

ther in connection with the CauSen matter he will
do at that time.
Mr. Evans has proceeded in this matter at great
sacrifice his feelings and in the discharge
of what he considered public duty.
Assu-edIy he would not have withdrawn the
pictures in question from his gift to the National
Gallery Art and subjected himself to an expense
OF several thousand dollars for the purchase of
other and unquestionably genuine paintings in their
stead, had he not been convinced that the pictures
withdrawn We're spurious.
In commencing his suits against William CIausen
for fraud and deceit in the sale to him of these
pictures MIR. Evans did not act hastily, but very
most ample opportunity had been given MIR. Clau-

repeated Inquiries demonstrated that the pictures
had no ascertainable history before they made
their appearance III Mr., Clausens store.
In opinion the proof to sustain the actions
which Mr.. Evans has brought is overwhelming and
