Tie fact that Mr.. Gould will become
chairman of the board does not alter
the opinion generally held In financial
circles that today's developments
mark the passing of the Gould influ-
ence. not only I'm Missouri Pacific, but
In other railroads with which the name
Of Gould had for SO many years been
identified.
Rumors Current for Weeks.
Rumors foreshadowing the change
have been current for weeks, and
more recent developments indicated
that Il spirited contest was to be waged
ferences were held today, and ut their
conclusion. at a time too late TO have
any. effect on today's market. the
Gould statement was issued.
II tells not only of George Gouid's
forthcoming resignation as president
but of the intended simultaneous re-
trcment of the other members of the
Gould faction and family In the direc-
toratc.
This puts an end To all probability
of a contest.
Messrs. Warberg. Marston and
Adams. will take the places on the
directorate now held by Howard
Gould. S. c. Clarke and S. T. Prior, the
latter two of st. Lous.
Interest in Successor.
Much interest centers about the Sc
lection of Mr.. Gould's successor. and
rumors current In Wall street this aft
ernoon mentioned several railroad men
connected with some of the leading
southwestern systems. He will have
practically unlimited powers, and Will
be given every chance TO build the
Missouri Pacific up 10 the highest
standard of efficiency. What IL less
important, his successor Will be at st.
Louis, the logical and strategic base Of
the system.
Kuhn, Loeb q Co. and Blair L. Go.
have previously had financial relations
with the Gould roads, as has also the
Deutsche bank of Berlin. Germany. but
never before have these interests been
represented on the board of any Gould
property. The selection of Mr.. War
burg was doubtless deemed advisable
because of the prominence Of other
Kuhn Loeb partners-Otto ii, Kahn
and Mortimer l.. Schiff-in the affairs
of the Hartman lines. The selection
of a representative of the Dentsche
bank gives the announcement tinge
of international Importance.
Missouri Pacific was the feature Of
todays stock market, and It's feyerish
course at times unsettled the general
