$500" THE PURCHASER
But Canadian Pacific Is Behind
Wisconsin Central Deal.

Montreal Jan 15-Sir Thomas Shaughnessy.
president Of the Canadian PaCinc Railway, says
that road is not negotiating for the Wisconsin Cen
tral, but that the 500" lire with which the Cana
dian Pacific Railway has Close relations. Is He
adds that he understands that negotiations are
fa- advanced AS the 500" line is owned by the
Canadian Pacific Railway. this is confirmation of
the runner that the Canadian Pacific Railway has
practically acquired the Wisconsin Central. and
Sir Thomas smiled broadly and af4rrnatfvely when
asked II this not the construction TO be put
his statement
It is announced that the acquisition Of the Wis
c7nsin Central by the ''Soo"-Canadian Pacific Rail-
way interests is basis of per cent guarantee
for the preferred stock
An interest in this city Identified with the Wis
consin Central confirmed the rep-rt that 500
line had arranged to purchase the ma ajority stock
Of the road from Newman Er5 and his associates
He said that he understood the 500 would take
the property over on ninety-nine-year lease It
is said that meeting of the directors Of the Wis
ccnsin Central will be held next Thursday, at
which certain important changes in the beard and
official STAFF of the road will be made by the new
interests
The construction by the ST Paul Of it's Pacific
Coast extension is said 10 be the real reason why
the Canadian Pacific has sought control of the Wis
consin Central The Canadian road gains its en-
trance TO Chicago at present over the St Paul
tracks from Duluth, where the latter connects with
Ing its extension TO the Coast where it threatens
to cut into the Canadian Pacihc's business, the
latter it is said has been seeking outlet Of its
own by which to reach Chicago and connect with
the trunk lines there The Wisconsin Central con-
meets with the 500 at Minneapolis and runs from
there Chicago. and ii has also nearly completed
a line to Duluth. Its acquisition Of the Wisconsin
Central will therefore make the Canadian PACING
independent of the St. Paul in the matter or an en-
trance to Chicago and will enable 1t to enter INTO
active traffic competition with it. which. under
present conditions, it is not in a position TO do
Some time ago the Canadian Pacific was reported
to be negotiating with the Chicago Great western
for an entrance to Chicago. but nothing came OF
these plans and the road then began looking around
for some other means Of getting INTO tla' o7n'io
other than over the St PaUIs tracks
The announcement that arrangements had peen
practically confirmed by which the 500 Would ac-
ouire control of the Wisconsin Central caused the
common stock of the latter TO advance 70 404, Ne

the Court OF Errors and Appeals had decided that
the railroad should pay s422.49 q in back taxes

two mayoralty campaigns Mr.. Dixon ordered
to Investigate the reduction by Mayor Wittpenn's
Finance Board and he has been work since
last May.
The corporate i counsel holds that the com
promise file yal. unnecessary and has
been confirmed by the court. He holds that pro
ceedings should be Instituted by the city to col
ect the amount from the railroad. and says
in my Judgment you will vainly search the
realms of law or -olitics for a reason justfyng
this action The 2son for the action of officials
Of Jersey City in abandoning its just claim to
those taxes to the extent of about 100000 is not
ascertalnabe at the present time
George L. Record. who Mayor Fagans
poration counsel, said that after a lapse Of FIVE
years he could only speak of this complicated case
from recollection. The litigation he said. had
lasted many years. the principal difference between
the city ard the railroad being the question
Of 10 per cent penalty fo- compartment He said
that demands had been made for the tax by the
state and by the city but the company paid the
state and held that II rot liable to the pen
could not be asked to pay the tax twice. The
entire amount. according TO Mr.. Record, was lev

different corporation from the corporation own

taxes for a building which It would not pay to re-

The settlement was made. Mr.. Record said. be

years the actual assessment $ appearing the
