Co, who were agents for the Harri-
man road had underwritten some
$50. 100000 OF the Missouri Pacific
bonds.
1t was in 1909 that another of the
Gould properties passed out Of the
control of that family. This was occa-
stoned when the American Telegraph
and Telephone, company took over the
Western Union
An inkling as to the railroad sit
uation was given during last summer
when the Pearson Farquhar syndicate,
which had been organized for the pur-
pose Of gaining control Of the trans
continental road, went 10 smash
Among the many securities which
they held were large blocks OF Mis-
souri, Pacific and Wabash. These Sc
curities were taken off their hards by
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. With such Il large
interest in the Gould roads It became
very evident that this banking house
would desire a voice in the control Of
the affairs of so valuable a property
as the Missouri Pacific George

pearance Of the Gould fortune as a
power in the financial world
The story OF this war had its be-
ginning in the early eighties. when
old Jay Gould was the most powerful,
as well as the most feared man in
Wall street His particular hobby
was the securing of control of varl-
Gus railroad properties. which he
would proceed to wreck and then dis
pose of. He had great faith in the
possibilities of the west and southwest.
and many a Wall street financier
looked on his properties in that Sec
ton with covetous eye. But they
knew better than to attempt to mon
key with the wizard of American
finance"
When Gould died in 1892, however,
the long delayed fight for the valua-
bic Gould property Immediately began
His will divided his vast fortune
among his children. but provided that
all his stock holdings should be voted
at the various meetings as a unit and
gave George J. Gould, his eldest son,
the power to control such votes. At
this time George Gould was only rs
years of age, but 10 years under his
fathers careful tuition had developed
his business and fighting ability to
great extent He had inherited
ties and his great ambition was TO
gain control of a road which would
stretch from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific.
The most valuable piece of railroad
property in the Gould estate was the
Missouri Pacific. which stretches from
Kansas City to Denver. and by secur-
ing control of the Denver & Rio
Grande, George Gould extended his
line into Salt Lake City.
Sacrifices Manhattan Holdings.
In the meantime. in order to carry
out his plans in the west and south
west. Gould was forced to sacrifice
his holdings in the Manhattan Ele-
waited company. which was purchased
by the marlborough in 1902.
BY this time George Gould had con-
verified the Missouri Pacific into val
liable property. A control Of the ma

Bears Working Ncioush to Weaken Steel Shares
RAILS SHOWED FAIRLY GOOD TONE,
BUT STEEL WAS EASIER-NO
LIFE TO TRADE.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-An The rest
OF the market but Steel presented "a
Fairly firni front, and small gains were
IN order. At that 1t was about as dull
ana unsatisfactory market as one
could imagine. Traders go In and
traders come out, the fluctuation of a
Traction being sufficient to make the
trade either wny.
There Is such a preponderance of
4opinion on the affirmative of the prop
osition that the Department of Jus
tice will go after the Steel trust under
the provision of the Sherman law,
that It Is hard to make any progress
on the negative side OF the PROPOSE
ton.
The Attorney Generals denial that
Isuit was about to be fled is taken by
the majority Of traders at It's face
value, and no one seems to believe
that Mr.. Wickersham means anything
more than he says or that he would
like to convey the information that
the Steel Corporation Is action proof.
Moreover. the Street figures that i'm
nediately following such action, IL It
Is started, there will be such a liquida-
ton Of Steel shares, and especially Of
common, that 1t will be impossible to
check the liquidation or the decline that
will follow. They forget, they ignore the
fact that the Steel Corporation, big
as 1t Is, Is by no means the monopoly
that either of the delinquents that have
faced the bar of the Supreme Court
