ENDS DIVIDEND WARRANTS
Southern Pacific Will Pay by
Check After October !

Announcement was made yesterday that
the directors OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany. at the request of many shareholders
had decided to discontinue after October
the use of dividend warrants on the shares
and TO pay dividends thereafter by check
TO the registered owner Of stock, as divi-
dends OF practically all other railway
shares are paid.
For many years Southern Pacific COM
mon stock certificates have resembled
bonds. with a series of coupons, or "divl-
dend warrants" attached. and since the
stock became a dividend payer ii has been
necessary for she holder OF certificate OF
the stock TO cut off one Of the coupons at
each dividend period and present II for
payment. Two years ago practically the
entire preferred stock was converted into
common. so that all Of the certificates now
have the coupon attachment. The last
coupon remaining is numbered 20, and is
payable on October ?.
Several months ago the directors decided
10 retain the coupon form of certificate.
which is said TO have been the device OF
the late c. p. Huntington, long president OF
the company. and arranged for the execu-
ton Of new certificates each having at
tached to Il forty dividend warrants, pay
able 10 bearer. and numbered from q to g.
inclusive, and a circular 20 stockholders
ISSUED on August 10 informed them that
their old certificates could be surrendered
for exchange from that date although the
new certificates would not be delivered to
them before October Q when the last
coupon of the old stock would he payable.
This arrangement Is. Of course. now can
celled. and certificates in the customary
form will be given 20 shareholders as soon
as the new plates can be engraved and the
stock printed.
