"Corner" Not Broken, But Big Mer-
ger May Result From Coup.
Shorts Drop Millions.
New York, Feb. 8. Revelation
that John D. Rockefeller had sold hia
interests in- the "Wheeling & Lake
Erie railroad, and that the New York
Central, Baltimore &' Ohio and the
Nickel Plate interests had bought
them, failed to quiet the New York
stock market today.
The fact that the Wheeling & Lake
Erie corner has not yet been broken
and knowledge of the forces behind
the recent flurries in small railroad
stocks on the market served to main
tain the excitement,
i Wheeling common stock sold a
month ago at 28 points. Monday it
was listed at 95. But 10:35 today it
was 115.
Shorts "Priched"
' Through a market coup and a pri
vate deal with John D. Rockefeller,
the New York Central, Nickel Plate
and Baltimore & Ohio systems Mon
day were reported-to have gained
working control""of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie and the Western Maryland,
strategically situated lines, valued at
more than $250,000,000.

who had sold short thousands of
shares of the stock of the roads were
caught in the soaring prices, with
losses running into millions of dol
lars, as big eastern lines gobbled up;
every available snare paving the way
for a merger of eastern trunk lines.
2.550 Pec Cent Interest Paid.
Never before had there been a
technical corner in which the prem

The New York Central acquired
more than 95,000 shares of Wheeling
common and prior preferred stock;
the B. & O., one-sixth interest in the
line, and the Van Sweringens (owners
of the Nickle Plate), one-third of
Rockefeller's holdings.
Wheeling common stock sold a
month ago at 2S points. Monday it
was rested at 95.
Nickel Plate Merger Expected.

counsel to petition the interstate com

stock control of the Pere Marquette
and Erie railroads.
The directors said they would ask
authority to sell $59,502,400 worth
of the company's common stock with
which to finance the big deal.
The interstate commerce commis
sion already has expressed belief that
such a merger would be in the inter

AN ENEMY OF SAXOPHONES
Trenton, N. J., Feb. S. Enact
ment of a bill to permit the throw

Assemblyman Muir of Union, during
debate which led to the repeal of
the bill requiring three months' no

landlords may increase rent.

Muir announced. "I was living in

I In view of the bituminous coal
first of April, the public utilities of
Nebraska are taking steps to increase
their fuel reserves. This is the more
important because of the growing
tendency of all industrial plants to
look to the gas and electric companies
for heat and power.
Comparatively little fuel oil is be
used by the electric companies in Ne
braska owing to the high price, but
a great many plants are supplied
with oil burning units and carry re
serve stores of oil for emergencies.
One large operating electric com
pany tries to keep a four-months"
supply of coal on hand, but is. now
preparing to increase the reserve to
a six-months demand.
The Nebraska Power company has
capacity for 12,000 tons of under
water storage, buT expects -to have
more than fifty thousand tons on
hand by April.

and labor organizations representing
their train service employes, grant
ing a 7 1-z per cent wage increase,

possibility of a strike by brakemen

gotiations which have been in pro
gress here for a month. Twenty

The wage increase is identical to
that received by train service em
ployes of eastern railroads. ,
The order of railway conductors
and the brotherhood of railroad
trainsmen asked the southeastern
railroads last fall for a considerably
larger increase than the 7 X-2 per
cent obtained today and after ne
gotiations had been broken off a
strike vote was taken. The board
however, asked both the railroads
