New York, Jan. I.-Important plans are
under consideration for changes in the
management OF the Western Gould roads,
Missouri Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande,
and Western Pacific. In the course of
pected that George ]. Gould will resign
as president of the Missouri Pacific. a
position he has held since the death of
his father. Jay Gould.
Mr.. Gould's retirement, in case it is
effected, will be entirely voluntary. He
and his relatives and associates have a
controlling influence in Missouri Pacific.
and since Missouri Pacific controls Den
yer and Rio Grande. which IN turn con-
trolls Western Pacific, the plans for i'm
provement in the system cannot be
worked out without his consent. He has
given serious consideration to retire
ment from the presidency for some time.
At times in the past also he has eX-
pressed desire to be relieved of the
work of the Office. but it is known that
latterly he has apparently come to def
mite decision.
Break with Hartman.
The Western Pacific is the road over
the construction of which Mr. Gould
broke with Mr. Hartman. The road was
opened for business last August. and
makes the Gould Western system a direct
competitor of the Union Pacific system
from Kansas City to San Francisco. At
ter Mr.. Harriman's death Mr.. Gould was
not as anxious to continue in close CO.
operation with the Union Pacific system.
One of the arrangements he made was a
traffic alliance between the Western Pa
cific and the Burlington. which is con-
trolled by the Hill roads, also competi-
tors of the Union Pacific. The arrange
ment threatened disturbance of the rela
tons among the Western roads
The plan WHICH rs now being worked
out provides for a community of interest
between the Western roads. One of the
bankers engaged on it said to-day that
a great deal of progress had been made
on the negotiations, but that they had
not progressed far enough to announce
details. He expressed himself as conf
dent however. that the principal object
sought by the plan would be accom-

With his long record Of comic opera
successes embracing ''The Fencing Mas

Lottery" and q string Of others, Mr.. F.
c. Whitney has never achieved a greater
success than with '"The Chocolate Sol
der" which ran three hundred nights
in New York from the opening of the
season until the close, to the largest au-
diences that any comic opera in Amer
lea. and which has made such hit in
London that will run there at least
three years. The music by Oscar Straus
q Viennese composer. and the book based
on George Bernard Shaw's brilliant sa-
tire. Arms and the Man." form a COM
bination which has not been equaled
since the days Of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Much of the success Of the opera was
cue to the intelligent manner. in which
1t was produced in New York and Bos-
ton. The music was interpreted by an
orchestra which is the largest that ever
gave comic opera in America, and the
critics stated that the cast was the best
balanced throughout that was ever seen
there. The costumes for the opera. are
al hand-embroidered. and were made by
the Bulgarian peasants in the Dragoman
Pass, where the action of the opera is
supposed to take place. This is local
color with a vengeance. Even the Seen
cry was built in Berlin from models and
photographs taken in Bulgaria, and is
unique.
