MISSOURI PACIFIC
Kuhn. Loeb 4 Co. Reported
Contemplating Provision For
$25,00O,0OO Maturity.
STOCK JUMPS on RUMOR
Move Said to Be Contingent on
Withdrawal Of Gould
Interest.

A persistent rumor. which could not BE-
confirmed. was current in the financial
district yesterday to the effect that Kuhn.
Loeb Co. were considering the under.
writing of a new issue OF notes for the
Missouri Pacific TO provide for the ma
turity of the $4,000. 900 In notes of that
road. which fall due IN June /. Mem.
bers Of the Arm Of Kuhn. Loeb & Co.
refused either to affirm or deny the rumor
as did officials Of the Missouri Pacific
Enough credence was placed In the
rumOr. however. to carry the price OF the
stock up from rs. where 1t closed wednes-
day. to 10 yesterday, an advance OF ;
points. u closed to-day at is, which was
a rise OF : points above Wedne sdsy's
close.
IL was further reported that Kuhn. Loeb
4 Co. had also agreed to underwrite a
further issue OF $1,000. 600 notes for the
Missouri Pacific to provide for the future
needs OF the property. provided tho
bankers experts decided that the physical
condition OF the property was good John

an engineer on tnc Panama Canal. IS max
ing an examination Of the property for
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
II was Iurther stated tina. the bankers
would undertake the rehabilitation of
the property Only on the consideration
that George J. Gould consented to dis
pose of his Interest. tor TINS reason.
developments are awaited with interest
A few weeks ago. II was stated that the
Rockefeller interests had made an offer
to take over the property. At that time
the stock responded favorably to the
rumor and advanced to 2S. Owing to
some hitch which has never been ex-
planned. but which IL generally attributed
to Mr.. Gould's refusal to dispose of his
controlling interest in the property, the
deal fell through
The action Of Missouri Pacific during
the last month has been such as to excite
considerable comment. At the time when
the imminence OF maturity of the S25,-
100000 In notes began to be spoken of.
George Gould announced for the Gould
interests that the notes would be paid.
Since then rumors regarding the means Of
raising the funds have been frequent.
In the meantime the turnover in the
stock has been enormous and so large
az to mark that the control Of certain
large interests in the property was being
shifted. About the first OF the year 1000
shares a day was a normal amount to
be traded in Missouri Pacific.
Lately transactions per day have aver |
aged from 10000 to more than 10000
shares. Yesterday $500 shares were |
sold. The stock for one OF Its kind has |
also been subject to considerable fiuctua-
ton.
On Monday Missouri Pacific was quoted |
at 201s. while on Tuesday II sold down |
TO 1914. Wednesday the quotations |
ranged from 17$ to 1871. and yesterday
the high was -. the low l5k and the
closing is.

COFFEE FIENDS LATEST
SORT OF OOPS VICTIMS

DENVER, May 5.-Coffee fiends
are the latest sort of dope victims
to come under the notice of the Den
yer police. In police court yesterday
Sam Harris, a niulatto, was arraigned
on a charge of vagrancy, and as a
suspected user of cocaine He declar-
ed that he did not use the drug and
that he worked for a living The
fact that there were no punctures
of the needle" on his body, seemed
to bear out the first part of the story,
but the testimony of the officer that
he had seen Harris begging on the
street disproved the latter part. He
finally confessed under examination
that he had formed the habit of chew.
ing coffee and that it had rendered
him SO nervous that he was unable to
work at anything for more than few
hours. In consequence he had become
a vagrant.
He was sent to Jail for thirty days.
in the hope that he will be able to
break himself of his odd addiction.
