SUFFERS ATTITUDE LIKED
Committee Member Says He
Will Cooperate with Exchange.

George Il. Mellick. member of the New
York Stock Exchange firm Of Carlisle.
Mellick 4 Co., who was one of the COM
mittee which went to Albany Friday to
confer with Governor Sulzer OH his rec
ommenda lions for remedial legislative
measures for the business methods OF
the exchange, was in happy frame OF
mind yesterday over the result of his
visit to Albany. He said that the Cover
nor gave every indication of willing
ness to cooperate with the committee
10 devise reforms which will be OF real
benefit to the financial community and TO
the investing public. Mr.. Mellick added,
however, that he did not think condi-
tons could be improved by Incorporating
the exchange, and he thought Governor
Sulzer would be Of the same opinion af-
ter a thorough investigation of the ques-
ton. Mr.. Mellick. continuing his con-
versatile with Tribune reporter, said:
The committee was much impressed
with the intelligent consideration when
the Governor gave to all the facts SUB
mitted. He showed every indication to
desire Information on those points
with which he was not familiar and 1t
Is the belief of the committee that ne
Will decide wisely and according to the
best interests Of the financial COMMUNE
" and the state at large, as TO what
should be done in legislative circles.
Governor SulZer admitted that he had
reached no conclusion in regard to the
adyisaDility of incorporating the eX-
change He was conscious that many OF
the people throughout the country were
of the impression that this should be
done. and ii was for that reason that he
desired information which would lead
him 10 a proper decision of the question
He wished 10 go slowly in considera-
ton OF this phase of the question, so as
to make no mistake.
He showed great interest in the OPP
portunities afforded Ny the Stock EN-
change 20 the small investor. and re
grctted that the investing public
throughout the country did not know to
greater extent the fact that fractional
lots could be bought and sold on the
New York Stock Exchange on equally as
fair a basis as could 100 shares or larger
amounts. lie was impressed with the
facilities afforded by the Stock Exchange
houses to become part owners in our
large railroad and industrial corpora
tons also that they had the opportunity
of securing such securities on a most
equitable basis
Mr.. Mellick was asked III the Stock EX-
change committee would hold further
conferences with the Governor. His re-
ply gave the definite impression that
this would be done, although no time had
been set for the next trip to Albany.
The firm of which Mr. Mellicli lis d
member does one of the largest odd lot
businesses In Wall Street. No dealings
are made with the public direct, how
ever, ell transactions being done through
other brokers' More than one hundred
clerks are employed and dozen repre-
sentatives are on the floor of the eX-
change. Mr.. Mellick is pronounced pro-
grcssve and advises the Inauguration OF
certain REFORMS. but he believes that can
be best accomplished by intelligent CO.
operation.

ROADS STILL AT ODDS
No Plan for Dissolution of
Merger in Sight.

Washington, Feb. IA conference held
by Attorney General Wickersham and
representatives of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads to formulate
plan for dissolving the merger of those
roads to-day was without definite result
The railroads have so far failed to reach
an agreement. II appeared to officials OF
the government that the roads were fur
Their apart to-day than they were week
ago. Despite this fact officials of the
department have not abandoned hope OF
an amicable solution. The bone of con-
tention still seems to be the DISPOSITION
of the Central Pacific. Its transfer TO the
