GOULD HOLDS OUT
ON vi. O. P. NOTES
Says He Has Not Agreed to
Observation-Disclosures Notified
of Plan.

3. f. Bush, chairman OF the Missouri
Pacific board of directors, is formally
notifying holders Of the company
S24,845.0O0 6 per cent notes maturing
Tune | of the plan for their extension
for one year at the same rate Of in.
terest A cash commission OF one-hali
e / per cent will be paid the notehold-
ers upon the extension becoming Oper-
ative. There is to be no change IN the
collateral behind the extended notes.
In regard TO reports that he had al
ready agreed to the extension OF his
holdings of the notes, George j. Gould
Yesterday made this statement:
This is untrue. Neither the execu-
.ors of the estate nor | have agreed
either formally or informally to an ex-
.ension of time for the payment OF
these notes. There has been but one
conference on the subject, which was
held a day or two ago at the Office OF
the Guaranty Trust Company between
Mr.. Hemphill, Otto II. Kahn and my
son Kingdom and myself, which result
ed in my saying that would take their
,uggesticn Of an extension of time un-
der consideration and would discuss II
with my cO-executors.
Despite Mr.. Goud's assertion that he
had not made up his mind as to
whether he would agree to an exten.
sion for another year of the Missouri
Pacific notes held by him and the Gould
estate, directors of the road expressed
themselves as confident that the plan
would go through. The extension is to
allow new directors time to acquain'
themselves with the property and ere
ate a plan which will permanently pro-
vide for it's future needs.

And now II appears that the Rocka-

The evil days which have fallen upon
Rockaway are blamed entirely upon

CONTROLLER DRIVES
AGAIN AT MARSHALL
Refers TO Settlement of 100000
Claim for $4,000 as Basis
for Attack on City.

Controller Prendergsst yesterday
made another drive at Louis Marshall
who in the Constitutional Convention
attacked the financial condition of New
York City. II happened in the Board
Of Estimate on the question of author
izing a corporate stock issue of $4,000
to be used in connection with an avail
able balance Of $4,000 to liquidate the
Gains of the Germania Real Estate
and Improvement Company for pipe
lines and other things in Brooklyn
Consideration was postponed for a
week.
The company filed a. claim for $780,
600 in 1911, S235.O00 of which was for
ST alleged special franchise, under
which the mains had been laid. Mr.
Marshall has been handling the case,
and was much wrought up. the Con-
troller said. because the city did not
settle promptly and in full.
This item has a particular interest
at this time said the Controller when
the matter came up in the board,
bearing, as il does. an undoubted re-
lation to Mr.. Marshall's unintelligent
TRADE against the city. Mr.. Marshall
has agreed TO settle for 5000, which
IS $4,000 less than the amount OF the
claim originally made.
"In other words. the delay that has
excited Mr.. Marshall has resulted IN
saving s215.0O0 to the City of New
York. The city authorities squeezed II
Ver cent of water out of the original
claim. This manner of treating public
business will not be disagreeable to
the taxpayers, although II apparently
has proved very unsatisfactory 20 Mr..
Marshall"
Mr. Marshall replied to the Con-
troller last night. Corporation Coun.
eel Watson. in 1915" he said, agreed
on a settlement for S87 800. Lawyers
A. B and c in the Controllers office
he'd gone over it, but il was turned
over to the Deputy Controller. who sew
cral months later reduced the amount
TO $4,000. II was referred back to the
CORPORATION Counsel and Lawyers d,
r and F.
Then il became necessary he con-
tnued. "to run the gauntlet Of multi
tude of bureaus. committees and func-
tionaries, each of whom Sagely looked
1T the claim, showed il in pigeonholc,
took it out again, ndorsed 1t and sent
il to another superior or inferior
Lranch of the government for further
action. And now. after the expiration
of more than two years since the term
Of the settlement were agreed upon,
the claim appears on the calendar OF
the Board of Estimate, in which prob.
ably no less than twenty-five salared
officers Of the city have united that
corporate stock be issued in satisfac-
ton. In the mean time the claimant
has lost upward of $4,000 Of interest

CLUBMAN INDICTED
AGAIN AS ROBBER
Philip T. White Now Accused of
Being Chief in $4,000 Theft
from Own Firm.

Philip T. White, member of the
Crescent Athletic Club and prominent
citizen of Elizabeth. y. j.. who is
charged with being a taxicab robber,
has been indicted by the Kings County
Grand Jury again for another hold-up
lie is now accused of being concerned
in the robbery of two employees of his
own concern the Masury Paint Com
pany. so Jay Street, Brooklyn. from
which he drew $4,000 a year as sales
manager.
This second Indictment is even
more outrageous than the first" said
his attorney, John S. Bennett, yester-
day. I'VE are ready 90 90 to trial at
once"
The trial on the fest indictment,
which will begin soon after White is
eX,radited from New Jersey in ten
days, is expected 10 he sensational
] wo of the five men accused are said
to have given evidence against Mhlte
and James f. Clinnir. White is
charged with having been one of the
robbers who attempted TO steal the
50. 500 payroll Of the Sackett e. Will
helms Company on August :, 1914. The
Masury hold-up occurred on June 5,
when 5000 was stolen.

was spent upon Rockaway.
Listen further 20 the list Of indict-
ments recited yesterday by the freedom
loving burghers:
The streets OF their town are in de-
plorable condition. Most Of them are
either deep dust or deeper mud. Dur
ing part OF last winter, Rockaway took
upon itself Venetian air through the
fact that many of it's thoroughfares
were illed with water Breadwnners

the central island OF large lagoon.
Children not natatOrially inclined were
obliged 70 stay home from school. On
its way 20 blaze, the fire engine sank
TO its hubs In a mudhole.
Rockawayites reach their heights Of
invective in speaking OF the present
sanitary status of their town. The sew
ers are obsolete, and the sewage is dis
charged into Jamaica Bay, where the
rising tide watts it back again upon
the shore. In summer time garbage is
taken away only ju.t before II starts to
40 of its own accord. Tin cans and
other picturesque debris are dumped in
vacant lots, or are allowed TO litter the
beach.
Chief object of adherence among the
citizens of the community IL the pro-
crastinating soul, who has contracted

tleman asserts that it Is a long, long
way TO Barren Island, and on being in
formed Of a death among the four
footed population, hesitates until the
victim is aggressiyely and blatantly de-
ceased.
While admitting that the fire and
police service are excellent, Rockaway
folk protest that they are too elaborate
and costly for their humble needs.
Water towers and extension ladders,
with which the department is supplied,
are Of little use, they say, in com
munity Boosting no buildings over
three stories in height.
Lighting is another sore point. When
the S0-cent gas bill went into effect
Rockaway was excluded from its juris-
diction. Although assessed to the limit
for the Catskill reservoir, Rockaway-
ties would be obliged to travel to
Brooklyn TO sample municipal water.

city praying devoutly that combined
