cousinship" is so distant as to be

New york.-Plans for the dissolu-

pany, as 1,creed by the United States
supreme court, officially were announ-
ccd in detail Thursday night after a
protracted session of the directors OF
the two companies. The terms are
said in a statement issued Jointly by
the roads to have the approval OF the
department of justice at Washington
and the agreement now awaits ON
firmation of the court in the federal
district where the action was original
ly taken and by the railroad commits
sion of the state of California. In
accordance with recent limitations the
severance Of Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific results in Union Pacific's
absolute purchase Of Central Pacific,
which has been the bone OF contention
between the two principal roads of the
Hartman system.
The agreement also provides for the
sale of all the Southern Pacific stock
held by Union Pacific at 98% per cent,
with accrued dividend to the stock
holders, common and preferred, of the
Union and Southern Pacific, other
than the Union Pacific and Oregon

1t is understood that a syndicate
has been formed under the leadership
of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and their for
eign connections to finance the sale
of Union Pacific's holdings of South
ern Pacific, amounting to $126,5 500 900.
