In Central America many natives are

HAwnEY IN GoULD's SHOES?
Believed He May Be President of Mis-
souri, Pacific.

New York, Feb. 14.-George Gould's
retirement from the presidency of the
Missouri Pacific is known to wait only
upon the selection of an able sue
cessor, satisfactory to the Gould and
likewise to the banking interests. The
GouIds have always been friendly to
Edwin Hawley, and it is most prob
able, in the opinion of leading finan-
ciers, that they would prefer him to
any other man as their successor in
active control of their inherited prop
critics. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are believed
to have the Missouri Pacific holdings
for sale that they took off the too
heavily laden shoulders of the Pear
son syndicate last year
Whether Mr.. Hawley is considering
the purchase of these shares or not
will, of course, remain doubtful until
some positive action has been taken,
since it was never the policy of either
Hawley or Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to dis
close their plans before they were
practically accomplished. The chances.
however, greatly favor the idea that
Hawley will be the next head of the
Missouri Pacific system. His syndi-
cate already controls the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, the Glover Leaf, Chi
cago & Alton, Iowa Central, Mime
apolis & st. Louis, Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Hooking Valley systems.
to accept the helm of the Missouri Pa
cific it is believed that he would not
make many changes in the Jeffrey pol
icies in administration of the prop
erty. His selection as president, how
ever, would be in conflict with the
laws of some of the southwestern
states.

MEET IN HARMONY.
Leaders of Republican Factions in
New York Come Together.

New York Feb. 14.-For the first time
since the fight at the state convention
at Saratoga last September, all fac
lions of the Republican party in New
York state, gathered last night in lar-
mony. The occasion was the twenty
fifth annual dinner of the Republican
club of New York city in commemora-
ton Of the one hundred and second
anniversary Of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln.
William Barnes, Jr., newly elected
chairman of the Republican state COM
lnittee. who led in the fight against
Colonel Roosevelt at Saratoga, was
seated at the right of the former pres
ident and entered into an animated
conversation several times during the
dinner.
Seth Low, president of the club, pre-
sided. He had on his list as speakers
Colonel Roosevelt, the Rev. DR.. Frank
w. Gunsaulus, president of the Armour
institute at Chicago, who delivered the
Lincoln grafton; Judge Emery Speer, of
the United States circuit court of Geor-
gia; and George Won L. Meyer, secre-
tary of the navy, who represented
President Taft.
United States Senator Chauncey M
Depew, Lloyd c. Griscom, Henry L.
Stimson, Horace White, Frank S. Black
and Timothy L. woodruff, were among
the Republican leaders who were pres
ent. General Frederick D. Grant, u. s.
A; General Thomas H. Barry, U. S.
A, and Admiral E. H. c. Leutze. also
were guests.

everybody is not just like you.
E. T. Jeffrey, president of the Den
yer & Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific railroads, is a man who is diff
ferent. He conceived the idea eight
or ten years ago of extending the Den
yer & Rio Grande to the Pacific coast.
Men under him made surveys. They
purchased rights of way acquired ter
minaI properties and completed the
preliminary arrangements. Then Mr..
Jeffrey borrowed $75,000,0 600 and built
the road Then it was placed in oper-
alton and became a factor in the trans
continental business of the country.
But Mr. Jeffrey has never seen the
Western Pacific.
The belief is almost universal in
Denver, as we'll as New York, that if
Mr.. Jeffrey does not hurry up he will
never see the child of his brain while
he is its official father. His retire
ment from the presidency of the Gould
roads is no longer looked upon as a
possibility. It is considered a certain
ty. The only question being discussed
is the probable identity of the new
controlling factors in the Missouri Pa
cific and the Denver & Rio Grande.
The Denver & Rio Grande is the
only railroad in the country conducted
as a mail order proposition. Its sue
cess under that plan has been the
ago talk went the rounds that Mr..
Jeffery was coming to Colorado to
take look at the road and see if it
was still here, but he never came.
Neither has George Gould seen the
Western Pacific since 1t was completed,
or the Denver & Rio Grande within
the past few years.
