The election Of Benjamin Franklin
Bush, president of the Western Mary
land railroad, to the presidency of the
Missouri Pacific railroad indicates
that the control of the management of
the system is, TO remain in the hands
of the GouIds; Commenting on the
selection of Mr.. Bush, George Gould
said:
II was much Influenced in my advo-
cacy OF his election by the results he
has attained In his administration of
the Western Maryland property and
by the esteem in which knew he was
held by Mr.. Rockefeller, who is so
largely interested in the Western
Maryland and who. next to. our fam.
fly, is the largest stakeholder in Mis-,
souri, Pacific"
Mr.. Bush, head of Missouri Pacific,
began. his railroad career in 1882 as a.
rodman with the Northern Pacific, He
soon rose to be a division engineer.
The Oregon improvement company
next employed him as chief engineer
and general superintendent. He went
with the Northwestern Improvement
company as general manager and with.
the Western Coal and Mining company
as vice president In 1907 he was sent
to Baltimore as fuel agent for the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The Goulds put him
into the Western Maryland. At the
same time he served as president of
the Davis Coal and Coke company and
as president of the Pittsburg Terminal
Railroad and Coal company. since
