That J. p. Seydell and not Mo-

Traction car over the open switch
at M and Gath streets early Satur-
day morning, killing Conductor
Sadler, was the statement of
Coroner Shaver today.
Both Motorman Kettler and
Conductor Sadler were standing a
few feet back of Seydell when the
car was wrecked. Seydell and
Kettler were pitched to the front
of the car, but Sadler was thrown
out the side door.
According to the story which
the coroner says Seydell, who is
not employed by the company, he
had been running the car each
night, and Sadler, on the return
trip to the South Tacoma barn,
had been in the habit of jumping
off at his home on ] street, leav-
ing his fare money for the motor
man to turn in.
Coroner Shaver said today that
he would take no action, as Sad

Troubles Begin.
But his troubles had already BEGUN
The other railroad interests. recog-
nizing the value OF the Gould proper
ties and the serious competition they
would offer. had already begun a war
to Gust George Gould as the head Of
the system As early as 1902, the
young financier had a severe struggle

which the Goulds control. to take
down their lines east OF Pittsburg
along the route of that road.
Has Quarrel With Ramsay.
In 1905 Mr.. Gould had a serious dis
agreement with Joseph w. Ramsay,
jr, his right hand man. and presi-
dent OF the Wabash, which cuIminat-
ed in Ramsay's discharge. At the an
nual meeting OF the stockholders of
the road several weeks later. Ramsay
made a hard fight to GUST Gold, but
was defeated.
BY his decision to build the Western
Pacific he again incurred the displeas-
ure of Hartman. who believed that IT
would injure the interests of the
Southern Pacific.
About this time considerable legis-
lation, adverse to the railroads was
enacted in several of the western
states, and on account Of his lack OF
railroad training Gould was not equal
to the situation. The stocks of his
various companies were boycotted in
Wall street on account of the meth
DDS which had characterized that end
of his business Gould was now hard
pressed for money. His Wabash Pitts
burg terminal had been overcapitalized
and ruin seemed inevitable.
TranscOntinentaI Dream Ends.
The crash came with the panic of
1907, which destroyed forever his
transcontinenatl dream. Four of his
roads. the Western Maryland, Wabash
Pittsburg terminal, the Wheeling K
Lake Erie and the International &
Great Northern, which ran into Texas,
went into the hands OF receivers with
in a period of one year.
He did not give UP. however. but,
on the contrary. began a new scheme
to recuperate his properties. His first
step was to patch up his differences
with Hartman. which was accom-
p1ished by the arrangements of the
Western Pacific to be operated on
amicable relations With the Southern
Pacific. Another plan adopted for
raising funds was TO cut off the divi-
ha Do 0ff nd
turn back all earnings into the COM
pany. Gould himself was not adverse
to sacrifices. and did not accept one
cent as salary for his work as presi-
dent of the road. About this time IL
was discovered that Kuhn, Loeb &

has been waged relentlessly by the
financial giants Of Wall street for con-
troll of the Gould properties; thus
will George Gould's dream OF con-
trolling a coast to coast railroad be
rudely dispelled.
Gradually Loses Holdings.
Since the death of old Jay Gould
in 1892, the control of his many val
liable properties has gradually been
wrested from the family. First the
Manhattan Elevated line was gobbled
up by the Interborough; then the
Western Union Telegraph company was
absorbed by the A T. & T. Co.; and
now the Missouri Pacific. the holding

valuable of all the Gould holdings.
will pass into other hands.
But these changes were not effected
without struggle, the history of which
makes interesting reading.
At every turn George Gould has
met his enemies with a courage born
Of desperation, but the odds were too
great and he has at last been forced
to recapitulate.
Gould Fortune Grows.
This does not mean, however, that
the Gould fortune has dwindled in
size; on the contrary, it has greatly
increased. II simply marks the disap-
