BALTIMORE, November 6.-Deny-
ing the common assertion that bank
ing interests control the railroads of
the country, Daniel Willard, president
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, says in a
circular letter to the officers and en-
ployes of that road:
The control of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad rests primarily with
the $4,000 shareholders who own the
capital stock of the company, this
control being exercised through a
board Of IL directors chosen each year
by the stockholders. For more than
IS years the banking house of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. and Speyer & Co. have been
the recognized fiscal agents for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, but
neither one Of them at the present
time has any holding whatever Of
Baltimore and Ohio stock, nor is any
member of either Of the firms a stock
holder of record or = director Of this
company.
mo combination Of banks or indi-
viduals control the Baltimore and
Ohio Company. The president of the
company is responsible to the board
of directors and they in turn are re-
