Treaty Spurs
Subscriptions
To the Loan
City Has Now Taken 77.1
Per Cent of Quota; Big
Gains Are Recorded
Throughout the Country
-f
Drive Ends To-morrow
Average of $379,856,600 a
Day Must Be Raised
Here, Declares Strong
The American people, yesterday's
figures show, took another tremendous
leap toward the national goal in the
Victory Liberty Loan campaign, which
ends at midnight to-morrow.
From every place in the union con?
tributions came to the great popular
effort to lend the United States Treas?
ury $4,500,000,000 to pay the money
cost of bringing Germany to defeat.
New subscriptions reaching $.'550,877,000
increased the country's grand total to
$2,818,561,000, or 62.63 per cent of its
cuota, compared with 59 per cent the
- previous day.
Treaty Stimulates Loan
Leaders of the loan drive found
that the announcement of the terms of
the treaty stimulated the masses
enormously, and made them far more
receptive to the appeal to buy Victory
notes. In the three days yet to be
heard from an average of $560,479,667
must be raised-to bring the country
over the top.
In the New York Federal Reserve
District, where 30 per cent of the na?
tional quota must be raised, the grand
march to success has been more marked
during the last two days than in any
other part of the country. An increase
for the iifteenth clay of the campaign
of $175,770,100, announced last night,
brought the district into third place
among the twelve Federal Reserve dis?
tricts, compared with fifth the day be?
fore. The Second Federal Reserve
District in fifteen days, subscribed
$970,143,400, or 71.8 per cent, compared
with 58.8 per cent on the fourteenth
day.
Strong Confident
Benjamin Strong, chairman of the
Victory Liberty Loan Committee, when
asked to comment on the local gain,
said the futures told their own story.
"Total subscriptions officially filed
with the Federal Reserve Bank amount !
to $970,143,400, which is 71.S per cent
of the total quota of $1.350,000,000
assigned to the Second Federal Reserve
District." Mr. Strong said:
'?In order to fill this quota, subscrip?
tions to be tabulated subsequent to
to-day must amount to $379,856,600. !
Up to the corresponding date in the |
Fourth Loan subscriptions amounted
to $948,792,050, or 53 per cent of the
quota. Subsequent to that date sub?
scriptions were received for the
Fourth Loan aggregating $1,096,109,200.
"Telegrams from some of the princi?
pal cities of the Second Federal Re?
serve District outside of New York
City indicate generally that satis?
factory returns are now coining in
throughout the district. Delayed sub?
scriptions are being filled rapidly and
in gratifying amounts.
How New York Stands
"There are but two business days j
left in which subscriptions will be
received by the banks and trust com- I
punies and 4hos?: who have delayed j
subscribing snocld do so at oijce."
New York's place in the list of dis?
tricts is shewn in the following table

New Baby, Pigs, Calf and
Poison Keep Stowe Busy
Winsted, Conn., Father Plans
24-Hour ?Sleep After an
Eventful Night
WINSTED, Conn.,May 8.--Burton E.
i Stowe, a farmer of New Hartford, went,
to bed at 10 o'clock this morning with !
the announced intention of sleeping for I
the next twenty-four hours.
I?ast night his small daughter found ?
a bottle of laudanum on the medicine ?
closet and drank it. A physician, .sum?
moned in haste, said the child must be
kept awake. Stowe walk-d the floor j
with her most of the night, his work ;
being made doubly difficult because-j
In the midst of it his wife presented ?
him with a further addition to his!
family, and his joy over this happening'
was further complicated by tumult in
the barnyard which proclaimed
That a caif and a litter of pigs had
been born, and in the jealousy of
motherhood th" stw had attacked the
calf, so injuring it that the services of !
?t veterinary were required.
That was why, this morning, after?
determining that mother and baby and !
little daughter and cow and sow and ?
calf and piglets were all doing well,
Barton E. Stowe hurled the alarm clock \
through the window before acttling j
himaclf for ??umber.

When Mr. Rockefeller's offer of a
million for a baseball was reported to
the meeting all the balls had been
given out. The leaders appealed that
some smaller buyer give up his prize
and for three minutes there was no
response. Finally a young man, stand?
ing on the steps of the Morgan Bank,
decided that a million for Uncle Sam
was worth a personal sacrifice and
threw in the ball.

500 Girl Sailors
Parade for Loan
Yeomanettes Reveal Per*
f e cti o n in Close*
Order Drill in March
Speakers at the Way were Edward S.
Mosher, grand master. Independent Or
Rows of blue skirts, stretched from
curb to curb, swung jauntily up Fifth
Avenue yesterday. They belonged to
five hundred girl gobs, known officially
in the navy as "Yeomen (F)," whose
parade was one of the prettiest sights
of the Victory Loan campaign.
They marched fully as well as the
companies of marines and sailors
which followed them. All along the
line, from Washington Square to Forty
fifth Street, the crowd cheered them.
When, approaching Forty-fifth Street,
they narrowed their front with a neat
"right by squads" and returned to a
column of platoons with an equally
pretty "left front Into line, double
time," the crowd waved wildly in ap?
preciation.
One hundred of the yeomanettcs
came from Washington under Ensign
J. P. O'Neil. The remainder came from
the supply department of the Brooklyn
navy yard and the fleet supply base in
South BrooKiyn. When they reached
Forty-fifth Street they turned east into
Victory Way and passed in review be?
fore Rear Admiral James II. Glennon,
commander of the Third Naval district.
Services in celebration of Navy Day
were then held. Rear Admiral J. H.
McCain spoke on the long-distance

Brother Seeks
To Oust Gould
As Estate Head
Continued from page 1
is supported in the? proceeding by his
sister Anna, Duchess de Tailyrand,
that through the action of their
brother, George J, Gould, the eslato
j has suffered a loss of upward of
i ?25,000,000.
i Edwin Gould, another brother and
' a co-trustee, is mentioned in the pro?
ceeding as having neglected his duties
! by permitting George J. to do the
] things charged, the latter, it being
alleged, acting as the dominating trus
'? tee. Mrs. Helen Gould Shepard, an
! other sister, takes sides with George J.
| Gould. Although not directly figuring
i in the present proceeding, Mrs. Shep
\ ard filed an affidavit in which she said:
! "Taken as a whole, these allegations
! are distinctly inaccurate and mislead
? ing."
In his own defense George J. Gould
j replies in detail to every charge that
is made against him. Also he goes
! back to 1911, at which time began a
I series of events, he alleges, that ac
| counts for the hostility which his
j brother Frank has since shown toward
him.
Gives List of Happenings
Mr. Gould enumerates these happen?
ings as follows:
"1?Refusal of our families to recog
! nize Frank's second wife, whom hp
: married, I have since learned, while
i travelling together in Scotland in Oc
: tober 2'.), 1910, and whom he is now
| suing for a divorce on the charge of
| immorality.
"2?The refusal in 1912 of George
! and Edwin to let the estate further
finance Frank's management of the In?
ternational & Great Northern Railroad,
which, down to the time when the es?
tate support was withdrawn, had lost
the estate, roughly, about $3,000,000.
"3?The claim by Edwin in October
or November, 1912, that Frank, when he
knew the I. & G. N. was in a bad fi?
nancial condition, had borrowed $100,
000 from the Bowling Green Trust
Company (Edwin's trust company) in
the name of the I. & G. N. and rep?
resented a note would be personally en?
dorsed by Frank and that he got $100,
000 in advance of the endorsement and
then refused to endorse tho note, us?
ing the $100,000 to pay off an indebt?
edness to himself by the I. & G. N.
Marriage Question Arises
"Efforts on my part for the last
year and a half, known to Frank, to
have the executors for their own pro?
tection secure an interpretation of the
second codicil of my father's will con?
cerning marrying without consent and
its effect upon payment of income to
Frank since his second marriage."
Frank was only fifteen years old
when Jay Gould died and George J.
I and Mrs. Shepard were designated as
I a sort of supervisory committee over
I him.
The action of Frank J. Gould yester?
day really is a continuation .of a pro
! ceeding s&rted in 1917, when George
J. Gould and Edwin Gould asked for
a judicial settlement of their accounts
as trustees, which showed an estate of
about $80,000,000. Frank J. then
| opposed the approval of the accounts,
1 but made only general charges of
negligence and mismanagement. These
he amplified through Mr. Walker
yesterday, when he again opposed the
settlement of the accounts of the
trustees and obtained an order direct?
ing his eldest brother to show cause
why he should not be removed as
trustee.
Charges Involve Commission
One of the chargts of bad faith made
against George J. Gould is that in sell
ing Western Union shares belonging to
the ostatc, he took for himself $620,401
commission on the transaction and
gave $125,000 to Charles L. Chadbourne,
who aided in the negotiating of the
sale of the stock to the American Tele?
phone and Telegraph Company. Alter
retaining this money eight years, it is
alleged, Mr. Gould returned the com?
mission to the estate without paying?
any interest. The return of the com- ;
mission, it is pointed out, took place
only a short time before Mr. Gould's
examination before trial of the present,
action.
Mr. Gould in his affidavit seeks to
justify the sale of the Western Union
stock and also his collection of com?
mission on the transaction. He said
that before the sale be analyzed the
financial condition of the Western
Union and found it bad.
He also made experiments by the;
sending of dispatches over the Western j
Union wires and thoso of the Postal :
Telegraph company, and found, he said, I
that the rival company invariably was !
quicker in the transmission of mes- j
sages than tho Western Union, some- j
times by several hours.
Secrecy Observed in Deal
He and his brother Edwin decided to
sell the stock, he said. They received
$86 a share, the buyers later offering '
: the stock back at $50. It developed dur
| ing the negotiations that in case a ;
> contract for the sale were closed the ?
fact should be kept secret, so as to
accustom the public gradually to the i
idea of the telephone company's control :
j of the telegraph line.
It was because of this imposition of
I secrecy, explained Mr. Gould, in an- j
Hwering another point made by his L
brother, that they did not inform their t
sister, now ?Mrs. Shepard. of the pend- j
ing negotiations. Not only did Mrs.)
Shepard have a sentimental attachment
for the properties left by her father,
but also she was an intimate friend
j of the late Mrs. Russell Sage. Mr.
I Gould feared that Mrs. Shepard would ;
1 toll Mrs. Sage about the impending !
! sale and then the promised secrecy
: wou.'d bo destroyed.
As ',o collecting commissions on the
i sale of the estate shares, Mr. Gould
said that he, as well as Edwin, are
I members of the New York Stock Ex?
change, and as such are entitled to re
I Ceive commissions on any transactions
made there by them. As a matter of
fact, the commission came from the
? buyers and not from the estate. Mr.
I Gould contended there was no differ
! ence in principle in that sale and any
| other. He was advised, however, to
i give back the commission, while Mr.
| Chadbourne was entitled to retain
what he received.
Feared Stock Exchange
Mr. Gould said he was always will- !
ing to return the commission, but could
not do so without involving himself in
serious difficulties with the Stock Ex- ;
change. He would do so under the \
protection of the court.
The sentimental side of Mr?. Shep
ard's attitude toward the stocks ac- j
cumulated and left by lt?r father was!
again shown in 190.5, when George and
Edwin wanted to dispose of a large
part of their Missouri Pacific holdings
for government securities. Their sis?
ter objected to the exchange.
Another allegation of improper use j
of estate funds concerns the work of j
Mr. Gould in reorganizing the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company with John D. ;
Rockefeller. In financing this corpora- !
tion, it is alleged. Mr. Gould used
$7,529,166 of the estate, which is still
due. Tho company had paid no divi-'
dends since 1902 and yielded nothing
to 1917. At no time, the affidavit of
Mr. Walker say.-, did George J. Gould
state at what period of the transac?
tions did he elect to have the estate
assume the obligation.
Heavy I?osso? Are Alleged
This action on tho part of George
and the alleged neglect of Edwin in I
I permitting it, caused the estate a loss
I of $210,000 in income, it is alleged;
i bad faith being charged because Mr.
! Gould held stocks of problematic
; value.
Going back eighteen years, Frank J.
: Gould recalls his brother George was
i a party to a pool that sought to force
the- price of Missouri Pacific stock to
$125. George did not avail himself
of the opportunity to sell, his brother
charges, because to. do so would de?
prive him of the control of the road:
: considered in the financial world as s
very desirable position, and also, it is
added, it would have deprived him oi
opportunities to make money for him
i self in pivate deals. In this, it is al
j leged, Edwin acquiesed. A few years
later, continues the attorney for Frank
when thehre was a stringent monej
; market, George disposed of his owi
; holdings and placed the load on tfit
. estate at the risk of a "terrible loss,'
which overtook the estate.
When, in 1913, George J. Gould sole
i Missouri Pacific at prices ranging fron
. $33 down to $15, ho disposed of $11,
463,857 belonging to the estate foi
$3,419,91,8, This brought a loss o!
$8,043,638 and is the biggest item o?
alleged depreciation charged to Mr
, Gould.
Investment Called Bad
Bad faith is charged by reason o:
the investment of estate funds by Mr
Gould in stock of the Denver & Kit
, Grande Railroad, with an attendan
j loss of $236,030. This purchase o:
stock, it is alleged, was not a prop?,':
or permissible investment for trus
: funds.
Mr. Gould says in the course of hi:
lengthy affidavit that the hostility o
j his brother Frank manifested itself ii
i 1911 when Frank sought to put out
] side interests on the board of the Mis
souri Pacific without consulting an;
j one but Mrs. Shepard. He also trie?
I to introduce outside ? interests in thi
; St. Louis Southwestern Railroad, i
! is said.
Two letters written by Mrs. Shepan
I to George J. Gould seem to indicate
' how the sister and prother regardei
Frank. In one letter she wrote:
"I am so glad you are letting Fran!
! peg away at the problem of the I. ?
j G. N., for I think that the longer wi
i can hold him here the greater chanci
' there is for the old habits of industr;
! to resume their sway and for him t(
i settle down and be a help."
"Frivolling Away His Life"
Concerning Frank Gould's efforts t?
i get. outsiders into the St. Louis ?
Southwestern Mrs. Shepard wrote:
"Edwin felt hurt over Frank gettinj
proxies o*n the 'Cotton Belt.' 1 sym
, pathize deeply with dear Edwin's hur
feelings, but if we could get Fran!
; really interested in work it woul?
; make it easier for you and him. 1
j would perhaps save Prank from frivol
| ling away his life abroad or worse, ant
; it would be a good thing for th
family. I greatly deplore this littl
i misunderstanding between the tw
j boys."
Frank used to aid in the managemen
i of his father's estate. He withdrev
| from this activity in 1912 and ex
! pressed his purpose i.? live in Paris
He left this country in March, 191?
and has been abroad ever since.
Further charges made by Mr, Walke
in behalf of Frank Gould are that ii
August, 1912, George J. Gould sold 20,
400 shares of Manhattan Railway stoc!
for $2.758,250, and that he did not im
mediately credit the estate trusts.
Allege Big Wabash Loss
In the following March, it is alleged
he paid $1,000,00Q to the estate am
"attempted to apply 17,000 shares o
Wabash stock toward an indebtednes
of $546,660 at 31 and 32% a share whe:
the market price was 297,s to 30%.
l\To dividends were ever paid on thes?
Wabash shares, it is alleged, and th?
holdings were wiped out by reorgani
zation, George J. Gou.d has refuse?
to make good the lo?s to the estate
it is alleged.
In 1900 and 1901 other sales of Man
battan stock amounting to $3,550,08'
i' is alleged, were not reported to th
estate and placed on its books unti
"iih)2. Then, it is alleged, Mr. Goul
paid part of the sum by causing th
transference of an indebtedness o
$1,496,037 ' owed him by the Missoui
Pncilic, of which he was then pros:
dent. Later asked to pay the mono
to the estate, Mr. Gould refused, it i
alleged. Continuing the charges c
manipulation of estate funds, th
charge i? made tha~ George J. Goul
owed the estate of his father $450,001
transferring a debt from lie Missoui
Pacific. The estate bought $7,000,00
nt' Missouri Pacific stock and stood t
lose last year $2,450,000.
Estate Withheld Support
Mr. Gould and others entered into
syndicate to reorganize the Wabas
company, hoping thereby to recove
losses, 'it is said, which plan faile
after the estate refused to advanc
more money. Mr. Gould admits a los
of $150,000'in this deal.
The estate of Jay Gould receive
$17,852,308 for its Western Unio
shares; also some certificates of de
posit which were liquidated from tim
to time. It is alleged that Mr. Goul
cashed the certificates and placed ther
on the books as "George J. Gould stoc
account." which made it appear tha
the estate owed him money.
The destruction of certain books als
figures in the charges. Mr. Gould admit
that these books were destroyed in hi
home, at 857 Fifth avenue, but declare
that they were only books pertainin
to his own affairs and not to the est?t?
Under examination before trial M;
Gould said he attended to the destruc
tion of the books personally and wa
assisted by his son Kingdom - He di
this, Mr.' Gould explained, because h
was moving into smaller quarters an
was giving up his railroad work.
Short Sales Arc Alleged
Charges of short sales of stock b
Mr. Gould were also made whereby, :
is alleged, lie was placed in a posit in
to enter the losses on the books of th
estate. This, ho did, it is charge?
several months after the transaction
took place, the entries appearing unde
earlier dates than when entered.
Frank\l. Gould said that George e?
ercised a dominant influence in th
management of the estate, that hi
sister, Mrs. Shepard, who had implic
confidence in him, was kept in ignoi
anee of transactions by him and relic
on the business acumen, honor an
integrity of her brother. By George
alleged actions. Frank says, he and h
sister, the Duchess de Talleyrand, ha\
been * deprived of their full legacu
and have suffered great loss of incom
The papers show that the duchess r?
ceives ?200,000 from the estate.
Mr. Gould denies all the charge
made by his younger brother. I]
said that the alleged losses quote
are at present market prices, whic
are about 18 points below the price
quoted in 1910. All the securities no
held by the estate, he said, are stain
ard securities and the values will son
day return.
Denies Making Short Sales
Taking up the charge of short salo
which he also denies, Mr. Gould giv?
dates and details of sales and says thi
if he disregarded the facts he coul
have made large profits.
Money compensation was no consit
oration to him in the management <
the estate of his father, said Mr. (?oui
tie rave the best that was in him an
tried to justify the confidence that h
father always had shown in him. 11
carried out his work as faithfully sine
the death of Jay Gould, ho added, i
he did when he was alive. The prov
lions of the will created separate trust
instead of one trust, to satisfy cortai
legal requirements.
