BIG SALE OF RAILROAD STOCK
English Syndicate Acquires Share in
Rock Island Holdings.
HAVE NO UNIVERSAL PLAN
Purchasers VIII Shelve scheme of
the New TranscOntinentnI Rail-
way System for the
Present.
HAVE NO UNIVERSAL PLAN

NEW YORK, July 20.--Now that the sale
Of the so-called Pearson holdings in Rock
Island, Lehigh Valley, Wabash, Missouri
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande stock is
confirmed, Wall street was asking today
what the Kuhn-Loeb syndicate, the pur-
chasers, propose to do with the securities.
DR.. F. d. Pearson and his British asso-
ciates acquired the stock late in 1909 and
early in 1910. with the dream OF vast
transcontinental system. This plan must
now be abandoned, temporarily at least,
but opinion is divided as TO whether it
will be revived under new and more power
full guidance. One member OF the pur-
chasing syndicate and positively this at
ternoon that, I'VE have no plans for new
transcontinental railway system, and the
purchase does not embrace control OF any
of the properties whose stocks have been
acquired.
To Save Market situation.
| On the other hand, another banker con-
| cerned said that DR.. Pearson's project
would be shelved only for the time being.
While the primary object OF taking over
the holdings, he said, was &c, save the awk-
ward market situation. yet he was of the
opinion that Kuhn. Loeb & Co, and theiI
! friends, including some OF the most impor-
tant banking interests IN Germany would
seek to carry out the idea too big for the
Pearson group to swing.
Notwithstanding the sale there is appar'
emily no disposition on the part Of thu
bankers syndicate to dispense with the
services Of DR.. Pearson and his English
associate, Percival Farquhar, both of whom
are likely to renal directors of the railway
companies concerned as heretofore.
The members Of the American syndicate
acting with Kuhn. Loeb & CO., include thu
First National bank, a Morgan institution
but the Morgan banking house itself, /
is emphatically declared. is in no way {
party TO the syndicate. 1t is believed
however, that the Kuhn-Loeb syndicat

NEW KEYSTONE PARTY BORN
Independents Will Oppose Both Old
Parties in Pennsylvania.
Say PennsyIvanians Need to Fight
for Preservation of Their
Representative Gov
eminent.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-William H.
Berry of Delaware county, for governor;
~ Clarence Gibboney of Philadelphia, for
lieutenant governor; Cornelius D. ScuIiy ot
Allegheny county for treasurer, and John
Casey OF Lucerne county, for secretary Of
internal affairs, is the ticket nominated by
the keystone party, formed here today TO
oppose the nominees Of both the repub-
ucan and democratic parties.
The convention, composed of 1T delegates
from fifty-two counties in this state, de-
nounced both the old parties as being un-
der the domination of the liquor industries.
The nominee for governor was formerly
state treasurer, to which office ha was
elected by the combined democratic, prohi-
bltion and independent votes in 1905. While
in office he uncovered the capital scandal
Defeated for Governor.
In the recent democratic state convention
he was defeated for the nomination for
governor, but received 100 votes Many
democratic delegates subsequently bolted
their party and took part in today's con-
vention.
The name of keystone was adopted by
the convention as the party name.
The preamble to the platform adopted by
the independents begins with the following
language:
"Pennsylvanisns are face to face with
necessity for desperate battle for the pres
ervation of representative free government
"A political trust, managed by cunning
politicians. threatens the commonwealth.
Some Of the oonspirators are labeled re-
publcans and some democrats. but they
are all in league against the people and
act in harmony with one reasonable pur-
pose and under the orders OF one head.
Their power is based upon the illegal
and unwarranted use of public property
and office; upon force. fraud and election
| crimes.
"Police-proteeted dens OF vice are made
to furnish enough illegal votes to over
| wheim respectable citizenship"

MERCY
IN THIS CASE
WAS A FAILURE

Two of the Aala Park gang were run
to earth last night by Police Officer
Kiawe, being wanted on a charge of
robbery. One of the lads, who gave
his name as ]. Andrews, but who is
known tothe court as Santos, was only
discharged a week ago, after getting
a severe talking from Judge Andrade,
but he is still living up to the reputa-
ton held by the members of the gang.
The two lads were drinking with a
Portuguese in a saloon near the Ath-
letic park last night, and the latter
foolishly allowed them to know that
he was flush of funds. The three left
the saloon together and proceeded
down the street. When the lads
thought they were unobserved they at
| tackled the Portuguese, knocked him
down and robbed him of $17 so and
then bolted. Fortunately, however, a
man and his wife saw the occurrence
and succeeded in giving information
to the police in time for Kiawe to eff
feet the arrest of the two boys, who
had just changed some money in an
other saloon.
The Portuguese and the two wit
nesses both identified the accused and
this morning they appeared before the
court but the hearing of the case was
adjourned.
