MORGAN NOW CONTROLS
THE "RUBBER TRUST"
Rvan Holds His Shares, but the
Guggenheims Have Disposed
of All Common Stock.
PREFERRED TO BE RETIRED
Intercontinental Rubber Com
pany Said to Control African
and Mexican Interests —
Dividend Last Month.
Recent changes in the Intercontinen
tal Rubber Company, it Ml understood,
mark the entrance of the Morgan inter
ests as an influential factor in that cor
poration, heretofore known as a Ryan-
GaCßennetan-Aldrlcn enterprise, and the
withdrawal of the Guggenheim interests.
The common stock, of which nearly $30.
000,00«> is outstanding, is controlled by
a voting trust. A. Chester Beatty. a.
•ell known mining engineer identified
■with the Guggenheims. resigned as a
voting trustee last March, and a few
days ago his associates in the voting:
trust. Alvin W. Krech. president of the
Equitable Trust Company, and William
C. Sherwood, also retired, the new vot
ing trust being composed of Albert H.
"Wigrgln, vice-president of the Chase Na
tional Bank; Stephen Baker, president
of the Bank of the Manhattan Company,
and E. J. Berwlnd.
Mr. Berwind. ■who has long been asso
ciated with the Ryan interests, is a di
rector of the Guaranty Trust Company,
as is Mr. TVisjrin, and Mr. Baker Is a
director of th« Bankers' Trust Company,
which, like the Guaranty, ia regarded as
a distinctly Morgan institution. Last
Monda^ Charlop H. Pa bin. vice-president
of the Guaranty Trust Company, and
Walter Dotton, secretary of the rubber
company, -.v"--. added to the board of the
Intercontinental.
Wen© Principal Owners.
It; a list of the large stockholders of
the Intercontinental Rubber Company
published last summer the Gug^enheims
appeared as the principal owners of the
company's stock, their holdings aggre
gating nearly 300.000 shares of the com
mon and more than 10.000 shares of the
preferred. Daniel. B. R., Simon. Isaac
and Slurry Guggenheim held each 10,
000 shares of common and 2.100 of pre
ferred, while Edward Brush, of the
American Smelting and Refining Com
pany, vas named as the owner of #9.000
shares of the common, understood to be
Guggenheim holdings.
The common stock was brought out on
the curb last February, at around 18.
;ind within three or four weeks sold up
io 2K on large transactions. It was m-
ported at the time that Thomas F. Ryan
was distributing his holdings, which ac
crrdins: tc the list referred to amounted
t« _» ? (> shares of common and o.fiti". of
preferred.
It is now understood that Mr. Ryan has
I parted with none; of his stock, and that
'it was the Guggenheim stock which
, came upon the market, the purchasers
being the Morgan interest."**
j The Guggenheims. it is said, have dis
posed of their entire holdings of th« com
mon Ftock and are likely eo"n to have
no interest in • V)«. company, as one-half
of the $-1500.000 preferred stock oat
standing at the beginning <^f th« y?ar
I ha*; meanwhile been retired and the
; re^t •• likely to be retired in the near
future.
The board of directors of the Intercon
tinental Rubber Company consists of

Aldrich Large Stockholder.
Senator Aldrich. who is one of th«
largest tolders, ownlncr 23,000
shares of the common and .VJTtO shares
of preferred, in a letter last June to
; William H. M'Kinif • chairman of the
Republican < 'ongrr'ssional Committee,
j vigorously defended himself and the
company arain?t charges made by Sen
ator Bristnw. of Kansas, who had said
that Senator Aldrich and others had or
ganized "a. gigantic rubber trust." which
absolutely ■ rolled the supply of crude
rubber, and that Senator Aldrii-h and his
family ha.d profited enormously from the
increased tariff on rubber.
In the course of his letter Senator
i Aldrich paid that the world's product of
i crude rubber in "'.*<<'.» was about 173.000,
000 pounds, of which the Interconti
i n»-ntal and its subsidiaries produced only
about 10,000,000 pounds, or ti per cent
The Continental Rubber Company was
organized in January. ■•.*»•.. with $30,-
OOO.OGO capital stock, to produce rubber
i from the guayule plant, which grows in
■ Mexico, and the Intercontinental Rub

' finally merged with it last fall, was in
' enrporated in December. 1900, with $30,
! 000,000 authorized common stock and
f]4i,OOO.OGO authorized 7 per cent cumu
lative preferred.
Mexican and African Interests.
The Intercontinental, in addition to
owning practically all of the stock of
the Continental and its subsidiaries in
M«-xieo, owns about one-half of the com
mon and preferred stock of the Ameri
can Congo Company, which was formed
to exploit the concessions granted In the
Congo by the late King Leopold; the re
maining part of the stock of the latter
company being held in Belgium.
About a year after the formation of
the Continental Rubber Company, nego
tiations «pare begun for its consolidation
with the United Btatea Rubber Com
! pany. Thepe came to nothing, but an
j agreement was entered into which, as
Pieaident Colt of the United States Rub
ber Company aald, "insures complete
harmony and co-operation" between the
two corporations.
! The Morgan interests have tor a con
! siderable time, been represented on the
United States Rubber board, among the
{ mmben of which are Francis I.ytid*
j Stet.-on. Francis L. Hine. president of
'th<* First National Bank, and ex-Judge
William H. Moore, who is I dirertor of

An initial dividend of I M P f r cent was
paid on the preferred ptaot of the inter
continental Rubber Company in ' " '••''•••
H«OS. from which time no payments were
made until January of this year tj,<»
accumulated dividends, amounting to
j nearly 20 x**r cent, were pa ; ! off in the

following three months, and since then
the regular I** I>«" cent has been paid

An initial dividend of 1 per cent was
declared last "i° nth on the common
stock. The company's annual report, is
sued this week, showed gross profits for
the year ended Jub 31 of $2,369,795. and

BROWNE MAY TESTIFY
But Without Limitations, if at
White Controverted.
Chicago. Oct. Whethar Lee ONeli
Browne. Democratic minority leader of the
Illinois Legislature, who is under indict
ment in connection with the election of
Senator William Lorlmer. is to be a wit
ness before the senatorial investigating
committee, was not finally decided to-day.
It was ruled, however, that he could not be
allowed to go on the witness stand and
answer only certain questions.
Mr Hanecv for the defence summoned
Miss Katherine A. Woods, of East St.
Louis, 111., to rebut testimony of Repre
sentative Charles A. White. Miss Woods
declared that In the fall of 1909 White took
her to dinner and told her that he was
writing a history of his life and the oc
currences in the Legislature, and expected
to make a fortune out of it and that Lori
mer and his "bunch" would have to pay
him enough to keep him for life or he
would make it hot for Lorimer and his
friends.
The wttncaa said that White told her
he was coins to run for Congress and that
he had spent 55.000 on his history He
said he did not fear results, for he had
influential friends
Her testimony was in direct contradic
tion to what White said on the stand.
COSTLY TO BRIDGE HUDSON
59th Street Site Cheapest.
Hawkes Says.
McPougali Hawkes, chairman of the
New York Interstate Bridge Commission,
on belnsr told yesterday that George F.
Kmu considered a bridge across the Hud
eon River not feasible without a pier In
midstream, said:
"There has been as yet no official re
port la regard to borings presented by the
New York and New Jersey bridge com
missions to th« respective legislatures of
thope states.
" Borings have been made at the direc
tion of these commissions at what may
be termed the 179 th street site and the
110 th street site. These borings show a
condition of facts, so far as depth of
solid bottom is concerned, which Is set
forth in the reports on the borings made
to the commissions by Boiler & Hodge,
consulting engineers to the commissions,
and am at the disposal of the public for
inspection at the offices of the commis
sions.
"It can be stated, however, dally
that these borings show that st bridge
across the Hudson at either of the sites
referred to will be much more expensive
than was at first considered probable for
either site, while still not so expensive as
the 59th street site.
"I iiave no doubt that the commissions
will shortly take up the study of traffic
tubes under the Hudson in preference to
a bridge, as the borings seem to indicate
that such tubes, if they can be properly
arranged for vehicular traffic, may be less
expensive than a bridge, but a careful
study of how to adapt such tubes to
vehicular traffic will have to be made be
fore any official announcement can be
made by the state commissions.
"There is nothing to prevent the plac
ing of these .tubes at such positions as
the commissions may think most desir
able., both for New York and New Jersey
and the Borough of The Bronx, as that
borough is particularly interested in hav
ing an uptown site selected."
Mr. Kunz had said that there was no'
rock near shore up as far as Storm King
practicable for bridge pi»r foundations.
PROF. PECK "HORRIFIED"
Would Hasten to Fig-lit Removal
by Columbia Trustees.
Harry Thurston P°ck, the recent!; de
posed Latin professor at Colombia Uni
versity, yesterday talked of his removal by
the truptees of the university.
"After this breach of promise suit is dis
posed of," ... immediately in
stitute an action against the university
authorities. The autocratic star chamber
proceedings of the trustees on Monday,
when they attempted to depose m?. should
ami will not be accepted as fair by all right
minded pen who are Interested in mv
case.
"Think of it "■ he exclaimed. "They did
not even give m* a bearing. Why, a com
mon bookkeeper of a commercial corpora
tion is generally owed to present bis side
of the case when the corporation contem
platen discharging him. But as for me, my
relations with Columbia are reciprocal.
When I name to the institution twenty-two
years ago it whs understood that upon at
t.itiling to the age of sixty-rive, after fifteen
\->-;ir;- of continuous service, I was to be,
pensioned. And it] consideration of thHt
clearly understood offer I came here an«i
have devoted the last twenty-two years of
my life In faithful service to the university.
"To think that, after spending all these
ling years In building up a reputation as a
Latin scholar, the trustees could take pucli
artion its they did horrifies me almost be
yond expression, and makes me want to
hasten my efforts to obtain redress through
the adequate channels which the law pro
vides."
The two motions recently made by Pro
fessor Peck in the breach of promise mitt
were decided adverse! v to the defendant by
Justice Amend yesterday.

Dorts that Beaufort was not really Injured.
Thesa reports had been greatly strength
ened by Beaufort's landlady. Mrs. Finch,

MUST STAND AS DANCE HALL
Court Denies Injunction Against City
for Terrace Garden.
Alleging that to post his establishment
as a public dance hall would cause him
great damage, Adolph Suesskind, proprie
tor of Terrace Garden, applied yesterday to
Judge I^acombe. In th» United States Cir
cuit Court, for an injunction to prevent
j Mayor Gaynor ana the city authorities from
enforcing the amendment to the license
laws adopted at the last session of th« Leg
islature. Judge Ijimmbe denied the appli
cation, on the ground that no irreparable
damage would be. caused by complying with
the law until its constitutionality could be
tested at a final hearing, where each side
would have a right to prosecute an appeal.
Under the new law all hotels containing
less than fourteen rooms must have sign!

and now almost refuses to buy at ail ex
