One Great Railroad
System Is Proposed
For the Bush Lines

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 1.-THE
reorganization plan for the Missouri
Pacific and St. Louis & Iron Noun
tain railroads was presented today to
the state public service commission
by B. F. Bush, receiver for the prop
erty, and attorneys representing the
roads and the New York banking
houses that will undertake the re.
financing plan. It was stated that al!
interests excepting the holders of
bonds to the extent of 100000, sup
posed to be in Germany, have assent
ed to the plan.
The commission was told that one
great system, under Missouri char
ter, will be made out of the 1000 miles
of the two lines.
+ PaulfD. Cravath, New York, assert
ed that the Missouri Pacific had been
forced into a receivership because of
bad financing, and not because the
roads earning capacity had decreased.
He stated that syndicate had un-
derwritten $46,0O0,0Q0 in cash, or as
much of that amount as may be need
ed, to take up the $25,00O,000 Of gold
bonds and also to pay off $3,00O,OOO
of interest now due.
