HELEN GOULO TO
HELP THE WESTERN


San Francisco, Helen Gould, the
oldest daughter of the late Jay
Gould is making a trip over the
lines of the Gould system with e
party of the roads officials. She
intends to place her entire per-
sonal fortune, estimated at more
than 10000, 00C at the disposal of
the chiefs of the system in order
to provide funds with which to
place the roads in . financial
position to meet their obligations
without curtailing their extension,
says the Salt Lake Herald-Republi-
can.
On her trip Miss Gould will
probably spend several days in this
city, as it is thought that the
largest amount of the money will
be used to relieve the Denver &
Rio Grande of the burden i'm
posed on it by the peculiar
financing of the Western Pacific.
This is regarded in railroad circles
as the most probable expenditures
of the money, as the guaranty of
the Western Pacific bonds have
proved too great load for the
road to hear, and at the same
time finance their own projects.
Another possibility spoken of is
the purchase by Miss Gould of the
$lO.000,000 issue of 7 per cent
bonds soon to be marketed by the
D. & R. G.
How onerous is the burden car
ried by the Rio Grande in con
nection with the younger sister is
shown by the fact that while the
income OF the Western Pacific
is less than 100000 year its
interest charges amount to $3.50
600 annually.
Interest on the first mortgage
of S5O.0OO,OO0 is $2,5OO,000 a
year or 81, 100000 more than the
roads income. This interest is
guaranteed by the Rio Grande so
that the latter figure represents
the loss the latter has to bear. In
addition the Rio Grande owns the
S25, 100000 bonds secured by the
second mortgage, also bearing 5
per cent interest. Interest on the
second mortgage bonds is there
fore carried on the books of the
Rio Grande as a part OF earnings,
although uncollected.
Hitherto Miss Gould has had no
share in the Gould railroads, ex-
cept such shares and bonds as
came to her with her inheritance
from her fathers estate.
Most of her money is invested
in securities that pay well and she
is credited with having vastly
increased her share of her patri-
mony through the skillful handl-
ing of her funds by her New York
bankers.
Announcement made after meet.
ing of the stockholders of the
Missouri Pacific that that road,
which owns large block of stock
in the Rio Grande, would not buy
any of the per cent issue. indi-
Gates that some "angel" has beer
found. Interest on these new
bonds is the first charge against
the roads earnings, even taking
priority over the first mortgage
bonds.
E. T. Jeffrey, chairman Of The
board Of the Rio Grande and pre-
sident of the Western Pacific, anc
Charles H. Schlacks, vice president
of both lines will accompany he
Benjamin F. Bush, president OF
the Rio Grande and Missouri
Pacific, is expected to join thu
party at st Louis and travel will
it as far as Denver. A Representa-
tive Of Speyer & Co, the Goult
bankers. will be one of the com

WILL PROBE INTO
 BUSINESS ON WAFER
SWEEPING ORDER IS ISSUED BY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
 COMMISSION.
Competitive and NOn.COmpetitive Trade of Water Carriers is to
 Be Looked Into.

Washington, Dec. 28.-An order for the probing of every feature of the water transportation business, wheth> CT in great lakes, the rivers or the oceans, was issued today by the In- terstate Commerce Commission.
 The investigation is to be one of the most sweeping ever undertaken by the commission. It's purpose is to lay bare the connections of water car riers with the land carriers with re- spect to competitive or non-competi- tive business conditions and their in ter-relations to rate and traffic agree ment or by stocks, securities or other holdings.
 Some significance may attach to this order because the House commit tee on merchant marine and fisher ies is now engaged in an investigation of an alleged shipping trust, but the purpose of the commission is to gather data for use in the fixing of railroad and water rates.
 Instructions were sent today to ev cry water carrier engaged in inter- state commerce to make to the com mission as of date of January 1 com plete returns on it's capitalization, liabilities, assets, agreements and contracts, fiscal returns with other carriers, holdings in securities of other carriers or corporations, values of physical properties, now and when secured, and the character of it's equipment. Uniform blanks with de- tailed legislation were sent out today to all water carriers with orders to supply the information desired by the commission.
