UNION PACIFIC
HOLDS MEETING

tersst. The part that j. P Morgan NAV
take in today's meeting is also causing
all kinds of conjecture.
Mr. Lovett. it is rumored, is pulling
wires to have himself reelected presi-

presidency and general counsel, make

Under the bylaws of the company
all of the powers of the directors are
delegated to the executive commit
sion. The directors meet but once q
month for about half an hour, so all
the rest of the time their powers are
vested in the executive committee. The
bylaws vest all the powers of the
executive committee in it's chairman,
except when the executive committee
is in session. The executive COM
mittee meets once a week for half an
hour or an hour and, except for this
brief period. all the powers possessed
by the board of directors are held by
ex-Judge Lovett. No effort to change
these laws was made at the meeting.
AS matters now stand eX-Judge
Lovett could sell the $300,000,0OO of
securities owned by the Union Pacific
for any price he pleased and to any
one he pleased without waiting for
the consent Of the directors. Or. if he
thought it wise, he could take every
dollar of the roads millions out OF
the treasury and buy up the stock OF
some other road without saying.

use the immense funds at his COM

to advance or depress values, to pun

as the fancy pleased him.

this year by the leather tWirling be-

that the scoring value of the play has
been reduced one point robs it of much
of it's effectiveness.
Last season two field goals netted
eight points. Hence, if the eleven
blessed with an accurate kicker could
stave off their opponents attack with
only one touchdown resulting, the pair
of field goals would win the day. I'm
der the new scoring rules, however,
with the field goal yielding but three
