GILL’S OPPOSITION SS The annual meeting of the Seaboard and Roanoke Ratlroad Company, properly knowr. as the Seaboard Air Line, will be heid at Portsmouth, Va., tomorrow, at which time a board of directors will, it is expected, be chosen for the ensuing year. It is pretty well understood that President R. Curzon Hoffmann has secured enough proxies to guarantee his own re-election (as no one else hag, it is said, been making any efforts in that direction), unless the unex- pected should happen, and there are some persons who believe that the meeting will be attended with some very spicy incidents. For the first time since Mr. Hoffmann suc- ceeded the late Mr. John M. Hobinson as president of the company several years ago he finds himself confronted with the serious and earnest opposition of his long-time friend and business associate, Mr. John Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company of Baltimore. Mr. Gill's Circular. The situation is rendered the more em- barrassing for Mr. Hoffmann by reason of the fact that the Mercantile Trust and De- posit Company has not only undertaken to secure options on enough stock to oust Mr. Hoffmann from his present position, but Mr. Gill, who has long been a director in the Seaboard, has within a day or two de- clared himself in a circular over his own signature as favoring the sale of the road to the parties who are sceking its control, and continuing, referring to tne rate war, said: “I have endeavored for some years past to sustain the president of the Seaboard, but, like every other man of business cr financial experience, I have been compelled to take Issue with Mr. Hoffmann on his present action. I do not know a single gen- tleman of any prominence in financial cir- cies in this city or any other who approves it “It {s not Mr. Hoffmann who owns the Seaboard. This property is owned by the stockholders, of whom I am one of the largest. It is the management, of which Mr. Hoffmann. is the responsible head, which has put the stock down to $45 per share, rendered the securitics of the Sea- board almost unsalab affected the value of securities of orn railways generally. “For this reason 1 seek a change and to give to the stockholders either an opportuni- ty to sell their stock at a good price, or, by co-operating with us, to secure harmony and put an end to the war of rates. “I have already secured an option .n large blocks of the stock, and repeat whet I have said before, that if a controiling interest in the stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke raflroad can be obtained I am assured It can be sold at $100 per share. “In this cennection it is distinctly un- derstood between my principals and my- self that they take the stock of the Bay Line (Baltimore Steam Packet Company) at a fair price. “A petiticn has been filed with the Mer- cartile Trust and Deposit Company signed by numerous bondholders and the largest financial institution in Baltimore, demand- ing of the company named to intervene in the suit now pending in the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Virginia, the object of which suit is to compel the various railroads made defend- ant therein to restore and maintain rates.” The Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com- pany is now, as it has been for many years, financial agert of the Seaboard, ani, acting in that capacity, has placed nearly all the securities ed during recexyt years by that company It is reported in railroad circles that an attempt is being made to induce the stock- holders to revoke the proxies given by them for the re-election of President Hoff- mann and to attend the annual meeting in person. It is further stated that a move- ment is on foot among some of those wno are opposed tv the re-election of Mr. Hoff- mann to postpone the election of officers until a proposed overhauling of the books and xccovnts is completed and the actual condition of the property is disclosed. President Hoffmann’s Counter Effort. President Hoffmann has issued an address to the stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company, in which be says that, “Having seen a circular issued by John Gill, as president of the Mercanule Trust and Deposit Company of Baltomore, asking for options on your holdings of Sea- board and Roanoke Railroad Company's stock, I beg leave to say that this circular has been issued without the knowledge, consent, authority or approval of the man- agement, and is against your true in- terest.” When Mr. Gill's attention was called to the above quoted circular of Mr. Hoffmann he said: “While it is true that my circular. was issued without the knowledge, con- ent or authority of Mr. Hoffmann, it was known to a great many stockholders of the Seaboard road, and approved by them, and in this connection I wouid further say that I fail to see why I should be called upon to ask for the consent or authority of the management.” In another address directed to the stock- holders Mr. Hoffmann said: “The Seaboard Air Line is a most valuable property, and the stockholders should not permit them- selves to become alarmed at the present situation. It is important to stand shoul- der to shoulder in common defense, and before giving credence to statements af- fecting the status of the property or the character of its management to inquire at the office of the company in Baltimore. “The physical condition of the Seaboard Air Line—its track and equipment—is first class in every respect, and has been stead- ily improved by the present administration and is today in a higher state of efficiency than ever in the history of the line. “Every expense, including the building of new cars and rebuilding of engines, has been included in the year's expense, and there is no floating cebt.” This last paragraph of Mr. Hoffmann’s address has attracted much attention in financial circles, and it is said that one of the stockholders, who, wants to know the true inwardness. of ‘the past year's workings of the affairs of the company, will ask for the appointment of a railroad accountant, for the purpose of making a statement of the financial condition of the road. eo ou age kats German Day. “German” day will be appropriately cele- |- trated this evening at 8 o'clock at Masonic Temple, 9th and F streets, by the Deutscher Central Verein, which, in English, means the United German-American societies of the District of Columbia.
