GEORGE ]. GOULD
Still IN SADDLE

Press dispatches from New York
state that although forced out Of the
position himself, George J. Gould, op.
posing the Rockefeller Kuhn Loeb in
terests, caused the elevation Tuesday
of B. F. Bush as president of the Mis-
osuri Pacific railway, defeating David
r. Francis, former governor Of Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Bush is president Of the
Western Maryland railway.
The victory of the Gould faction
was followed by the announcement Of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. g withdrawal as
bankers for the system, and the resig-
nation of Paul M. Warburg, the COM
pany's representative on the board,
and of Cornelius Vanderbilt, an ally.
| Edgar L. Marston, representing
Blair & Co.; Fred T. Gates, represent.
ing John D. Rockefeller, and e. d.
Adams, American representative Of the
Deutsch bank, voted against Mr.. Bush,
but did not sever their connection. IT
is rumored that Messrs. Adams and
Marston also will resign, although this
cannot be confirmed.
Statement Of Opposing Interests.
| George Gould and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
issued statements explaining their side
of the case, Mr.. Gould regretting the
withdrawal of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., but
congratulating the road upon the se-
lection of Mr.. Bush.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. explained they did
not favor Mr.. Bush, and because Of his
election, Messrs, Warburg and Wander
bilt felt unwilling to share RESPONSE
bility in the management of the COM
pany under these circumstances
Mr.. Gould in his statement says:
"The board has, / think, made q
wise choice in selecting B. F. Bush as
president. He is familiar with condi-
tions on the line, and with the affairs
of the company, gained while in it's
employ some years ago. l was much
influenced in my advocacy of his elec-
tion by the results he has attained in
his administration of the Western
Maryland railway, and by the esteem
in which | know he was held by Mr..
Rockefeller, who is so largely interest
ed in the Western Maryland, and who,
next to our family, is the largest stock
holder in Missouri Pacific.
"My personal relations with the
members of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. have
been so PLEASANT that I was reluctant
to conclude that the continuance of
that firm as bankers for the property
was not to the corporation best in
terests. I part with them with per-
sonal regret
Their interests in the Union and
Southern Pacific, both essentially COM
petitive lines, made a continuance of
their relationship as bankers in my
judgment inadvisable for the stock
holders of the Missouri Pacific as well
as for the public.
"Latterly, when they advocated the
election of former Governor David r.
Francis to the presidency of the prop
erty, I could not feel that their in
fluence was helpful one for the
property, for though Governor Francis
has my respect as public man, his
efficiency as railroad operator was
not quite so apparent to me-"

agent for the Western Pacific, who has
