Gould Management to
Quit Western Control

The final chapter in the story of
the steady but gradual retirement of
George J. Gould with his associates
from the control of the railroad
properties that were dominated by
his father, the late Jay Gould. is
expected to be written at the annual
stockholders meeting of the Denver
and Rio Grande on October 16. This
meeting, many believe, will result IN
the Gould interests relinquishing at
least three places on the Denver di-
rectorate in favor of the stockhold-
ers' protective committee. George ].
Gould about three years ago signi-
fed his intention of gradually retir-
ing from most of the properties.

Humbled the KING

The sudden attack of the troops upon
the people at this time is one of the
disputed facts of history, for up to that
time the king seemed disposed to heed
the wishes of the people. One theory
generally accepted at the time was
that the order to fire was given by
Prince William, brother Of the king
and later the first German emperor
and grandfather of the present emper-
or. This story has not been substanti-
ated. But because of the animosity
aroused toward the prince at the time
he was sent to England, where he re-
NAMED for some months.
subsequently the people carried the
corpses of the dead to the palace and
called for the king to appear. Re-
~luctantly he and the queen came out

horrible sight. "Den Hut alb! Den

Revolution Fails

For a time it seemed as though the
people were in control. The king rails
ed the flag of the democratic movement
yer the palace and promised a consti-
tutionand virtually all the other reforms
demanded. But in a little while, ow-
ing to lack of organization among the
revolutionists the king and his troops
again gained control. Then harsh
measures of repression were adopted
and the dream of democracy in Ger
many came to an end.
In the ensuing years thousands of
those implicated in the attempted revo-
luton, as well as the younger genera
ton that was too young to fight but
imbibed the new ideas, left Germany
and made their homes in America.
One of these was Mr.. Oestmann, who
crossed the ocean in 1850.

r. A. w. Oestmann Witnessed the Ger
man Struggle for Liberty in 1848
One of the few surviving witnesses
of the unsuccessful struggle of the
German people for constitutional free
dom, in 1913, is Germantown business
man, Rudolph A. w. Oestmann. He
was one of the great number of Ger
mans, comprising the finest elements
of Germany's population, who sought
refuge in America following the harsh
ssive measures which the Prus-
sian government adopted to suppress
the yearning for liberty. Naturally,
he has eve since been a foe of The mill
tary autocracy which has dominated
Germany, and he is heart and soul in
support of the United States in its
present wal with the German Kaiser
and his government.
MI. Oestmsnn was IS years old on
