WHO OWNS RAILROADS.
Facts Revealed by Reports Filed Be-
fore Railroad Board.

Some interesting facts about the
ownership of the Rock Island and
Frisco railroads are brought out by
the annual reports of these roads
which have been filed with the state
board of railroad commissioners.
These reports are made on blanks fur
nished by the Interstate Commerce
commission. and while they are more
voluminous than last years reports.
and make good sized book, they do
not include any Kansas statistics. The
Kansas statistics will be collected by
the state board later.
The new forms of the Interstate
Commerce commission require much
more detailed and intimate facts about
the vital history of the road than
have ever been required before. The
Rock Island states that it is controlled
solely and absolutely by the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway of
Iowa. This Iowa concern, which has
never figured prominently in current
history, owns $7O,212,500 worth of
the stock out of total issue of $751;,
100000. But the Rock Island of Iowa
has placed all this stock in the hands
of the Central Trust company of New
York.
AS to the Frisco, 1t too, is con-
trolled by the Central trust company
of New York, which holds as trustee
$2S,94O,3 800 worth of its capital stock
out of total issue of % millions of
common and 81 millions of preferred.
Both roads are therefore con-
trolled by the Central Trust company
of New York, and the question is. who
controls the Central Trust company?
The fragments of the capital stock
which are not controlled by the Cen
trail Trust company are owned by
comparatively few people. The Rock
Island had at its last annual meeting
only 565 stockholders, and the
Frisco had 1,641.
The Rock Island gives as the list
of its ten largest stockholders the
following:
Central Trust company of New
York, s7O,212. 500; Emily A. Watson,
New York, $4,000; estate of A. C..
Downing, $30O,OO0;. S. D.. Lawrence,
New London, Conn, $277,20O; E P.
Freeman Co., New York, $112,500; R.
w. Goelet, New York, $136,3O0; U. S.
Trust Co.. New York, trustee, 500
900: Caroline L. Ely, Rochester, N.
Y. $7S,60O; U. S. Trust Co, New
York, trustee. 100000: H. I. Trow-
bridge, New Haven, Conn, $4S,SO0.
Most of the stock of the Frisco
which is not owned in the hands of
the Central Trust company of New
York is owned by The Dutch Associa-
ton. trustee, a concern located at
Amsterdam, Holland. B. P. Cheney,
who is one of the principal owners of
the Santa FFe railway. also owns a big
block of Frisco stock.
