power INTERESTS
Will BE GROUPED
Statewide Systems Seen as Re.
suit Of Combine

New York, Jan. II Rt-State- wide
grouping of eastern power systems,
representing t2.00O.000,oO0 in pub
lie utility securities. was seen i'll
financial circles today as the ulti-
mate outcome of the formation of
the United corporation by the Nor
gan interests.
Announcement was made yester-
day of the creation OF the United
corporation with a capital stock of
$3.50. 100000 by ]. p. Morgan and
company. Drexel and company and
Bonright and company. Inc, to
acquire minority holdings in the
United Gas Improvement company.
the Public Service corporation of
New Jersey and the Mohawk Hud-
son Power corporation.
The interests in the three COM
panies taken over by the new cor
poration, the announcement issued
by Morgan and company said. are
now held by the organizers and the
American Super Power corporation.
Financial Only
The function Of the United cor
poration, it was said, will be re-
stricted to the financial structure of
the utility companies in which it
holds interests and will have no
part in the management of the
properties.
The ultimate linking up of power
systems deriving their energy from
the st. Lawrence, Niagara and
streams in northern New York
state with lines fed from generating
units of Conowingo and other Sus-
quehanna sites to the south to
cover the state with a network of
power lines is seen in public utility
circles as logical function of the
United corporation.
While the physical groupings will.
be held within state boundaries SO
that the public utility companies
affected will be each under iuris-
diction of its own states public
service commission the financial re-
adjustments foreshadowed in the
formation Of the United corporation
are expected in financial circles
eventually to involve companies il
New England, Delaware, Maryland
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York.

A panic hit Goldfieid IN 1907 and
business fell on At the Northern.
Richard sold out and opened the
Palace bar nearby. 1t was failure.
Then Richard opened his fourth
Northern in Rawhide. where a new
boom had ctarted. Again Richard
caught the flow of easy money.
More than 50 faro and card deal
ers were employed by Richard. Eight
bartenders worked in shifts and
each man got his $12 In wages rs
he went off duty.
Changed His Career
Fire destroyed the Northern at
Rawhide and it was never rebuilt
although Richard made hasty plans
for its reconstruction before the
flames died out. 1t was his last
gambling house. Things happened
at Goldfield in 1906 which changed
the career Of the man who up to
this time had been a cowboy.
marshal, miner, bartender and own
err of gambling houses.
The big business men OF Gold
field wanted to attract attention to
their fiourishing little desert city.
Richard was selected as the man to
put Goldf1eld on the map.
Here again conflicting stories are
told about how Richard became en-
gagged in the promotion OF his first
fight. John Natter, a reporter from
Santiago. where he served under
Col. Roosevelt was said to have sold
the idea of staging a big fight in
Goldfeld to Richard.
| Anyway, Richard took his first
trip to New York city and saw his
first ring battle. He occupied a
ringside seat in old Madison Square
Garden and saw Terry McGovern
and Jimmy Britt. famous light
weights. fight draw. When he got
back to Goldfeld, Richard wired Joe
Humphreys, who was later to be-
come Richards announcer. an Offer
of $4,000 for return bout between
McGovern and Britt at Goldheld.
