America needs every investor that

is larger than ever before, and where

Chicago is in need of additional
speculation in wheat, and it is also
in need Of an improved cash de-

Argentina for export, and that is
the only outlet for It. While their

of wheat are to be seen piled up not

MORGAN To END
VOTING TRUST 0F
SOUTHERN R. R.
Plans to Dissolve 1t Made as a
Concession to the Public
Sentiment

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Anotber
concession to public sentiment was
made yesterday by Morgan & Co
when they decided to dissolve the
voting trust under which they have
controlled the Southern Railway for
more than eleven years.
The voting trustees are ]. P. Nor
gan George F. Baker and Charles
Lanier.
Details for the termination of tbs
trust are now being arranged. rs
termination is in keeping with the
new policy of J p. Morgan & Co
Several of the more active partners
of the firm resigned early last Week
from 30 directorships, and in three
Observation-Disclosures Telephone and
Telegraph, New Haven and New
York Central-they severed all con-
nection with the companies.
Domination of this voting trust
permitted j. P. Morgan and his asso
ciate, George f. Baker to control the
policy of the Southern Railway, al
though they did not hold a major
ity of the common and preferred
shares.
The voting trust was favorite in
strument also used by the late J p.
Morgan to prevent other interests
from secretly buying up in the stock
market control of properties under
his domination. The son and his
partners, 1t is understood, realize
that the voting trust has become in
tolerable to shareholders.
The first step by the Morgan In
terests to appease public desire In
this connection was taken two months
ago when the voting trust of tho
Bankers Trust Company was ter7mi-
mated. A week ago announcement
was also made that the trust of the
Guaranty Trust Company would be
terminated at the end of this month.
The Southern Railway voting trust
was created at the reorganization OF
the company in 1894 1t expired in
1902, but was extended at the request
of the Morgan interests. In asking
the extension the late j. p Morgan
IN a circular to shareholders said.
Events of the past eighteen months
in connection with railroad properties
have revealed the danger to which
corporate properties are exposed, Of
the control Of their stock being
bought up in the market by purchas-
ers not identified with the property or
permanently interested in its develop
ment and Improvement"

that the termination of the trust
would once more place the property
