In acquiring control of the railroad, their latest development in building a transcontinental rail system through purchasing control of various roads, the Van Swerin- gens have obtained, or have contracted for, 778.500 shares of the total of 1,546,396 shares of Missouri Pacific common and preferred stock outstanding. This is 50.3 per cent.

Besides this they have acquired $24,000,000 worth of the outstanding $46,392,000 Missouri Pacific 5 1-2 per cent convertible bonds, the commission was told. 1,. w. Baldwin, president of the Missouri-Pacific, will remain as head of the' road and no changes in personnel are contemplated, John P. Murphy, secretary of the Alleghany Corporation, testified at the hearing.

The general offices -will remain, in St. Louis, he also said. Should the state commission authorize the stock transfer, the V.an Sweringens, O. P. and M.

JEFFEESON ftTY April Hearing of the application by the Alleghany Corporation of Cleveland, holdmgwm- pany controlled by the Van Swer- ingcrt interests for authority, to acquire in excess of 10 per cent of the stock of the. Missouri-Pacific Railroad Company as one of their moves in forming a Transcontinental Kail-way System, -was begun before the Missouri Public Service Commission today. The case is important in tfistt should the commission sanction the transfer of control of the capital stock, the transfer -would not be affected by any future legislation by congress to regulate railroao.

mergers or holding companies, suc.i as now being advocated in Washington- Must on The acquisition of control of the Missouri-Pacific stock recently by P. and M. 3. Van Sweringen Cleveland -was the latest known development in their plan to purchase roads and form o. trans-continental system.

The Van Sweringens and their- representatives are said to have acquired or negotiated the purchase of about 53 percent of the Missouri-Pacific stock. The plan vv ns to transfer this stock to the Alleghany Corporation, according to reports received here at the commission, but legal ownership of the stock cnnnot pass 10 the holding company, under Missouri law. until the comrms- Won approves the transfer. This never been passed upon by the courts, however. The Missouri- Pacific must come to the state commission since it is a Missouri corporation.

It is undrstood also that the Van Sweringens encountered a legal obstacle in voting th Missouri- Pacific stock at the annual stockholders meeting May 13 on account of the Missouri situation. A provision of the Missouri-Pacific by-laws as understood here' at the commission', stipulates that the only stockholders who mny vote the annual meetinjr, when officers are. elected, are those who wera stockholders of record 30 clays prior to the meeting. Because the holding company had not obtained the necessary authority from the Missouri commission in time, transfer of th stock was prevented; it is understood. The Alleghany Corporation filed its application with the Missouri commission to acquire in excess of 10 per cent of the stock April 10.

Representatives of the company urp- the 1 commission to issue the order approving the matter at once, in order to get it. before irtril 13, a month prior to the tockholders meeting, but the cotn- jssioa refused and said the case 'must take the usual course. To overcome the legal barrier and vote the stock, the an Swer- inxen interests must obtain prox.es of the stockholders of record from whom they purchased the stock.

Those present -were Secretary Stimson, Prime Minister Mac Donald, Reijiro Wakatsuki, Ambassador Fleuriau of France and Ambassador Bordoriaro of Italy. two ambassadors officiated in the Absence of. their chiefs. Foreign Minister Briand was en route to London today from Paris while Dino the Italian foreign minister and chief of delegation, will not be present for the signing. Grandi was ill whea he last returned to Rome and was said still to be suffering from h'is Indisposition.

It was stated that the full text of tba treaty run. about 16,000 words. Prime Minister MacDonald will broadcast a talk on the naval conference Tuesday evening at 8:40 p. m. The- address, which will last twenty minutes, will be transmitted from all British stations.

preamble Kevealecl The preamble to the naval treaty, which'with the safeguarding clause has been rigorously secret, was revealed today, shortly after Tokyo dispatches and the Japanese delegation here announced that Japan would sign the treaty without changes. The preamble is a single sentence, which says: "The president of the United States of America, the president of the French Republic, his majesty the king of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British dominions beyond the -seas, his majesty the kins of Italy, his majesty the emperor of desiring to prevent the dagger and reduce the inherent In competitive armaments, and desiring to carry forward the work begun in the Washington naval conference and to facilitate the progressive realization of. general limitation and reduction of armaments, have resolved, with a view to accelerating these purposes, to conclude a treaty for the limitation of naval armaments and have accordingly appointed their plenipotentiaries."

Senator Reed and Ambassadors Gibson and Morrow. The treaty drafting committee took final survey of the treaty this afternoon and pronounced their work done. Ambassador Morrow, the American member of the committee, announced after the meeting that everything was set for the signing tomorrow. His announcement set at rest strong fears that some hitch would develop. Prime Minister MacDonald returned to his Downing Street office early this forenoon to take up business connected with the closing of the conference.

He reached London yesterday from an Easter holiday in Lossiemouth, Scotland, Civic Leaders Believe Count Is Too Low oint to Registered Voters lie population of the third ward in Moberly is 3,139,. according to a report received today by Tlie Monitor-Index from Mrs. SaTlie B. Leimbrock, census supervisor for this district, from her headquarters-in Marshall. Mrs.

Leimbrock states this is a preliminary count of the returns of the present census started April 1, and is subject to correction. These figures are the first to be received pertaining- to Moberly. The population of this in 1020 was not available today. Unless the 'other three wards show a greater population than the third, Moberly's population will fall well under 15,000, in the opinion of several business men today. The third ward is recognized as a close second if not actually the largest ward in population in Moberly.

If that is true, then it is believed the official census figures will show Moberly not much larger than 1920., Call Your' Enumerator Any person who has been missed by the enumerators is requested to call Phone 309 at the Cham- 1 ber of Commerce or the enumerator for their ward. This must not be delayed, however, as the census books will soon close. Methods to check the Moberly census, before it is finally approved by the department at Washington, were discussed today. No plan has been devised. In a -number of towns the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations have been checking ures from the fourth and second- wards may surpass the figures from the third ward.

Figures on County No figures have been received from the enumeration. The 1920 county population was giv-. en as 277573, that of 1910 as 26,182, that of 1900 as 24,442, that of 1S90 as 24,892, that'of 1SSO as 22,751, that of 1870 as 15,908,. that of 1860 as 11,407 and that of 1850 as 9,439. These figures include the Moberly enumeration totals.

The census figures for the Moberly wards, as of 1910, the only, figures by wards obtainable, were as follows: First ward 249S, second ward 2361, third ward 246-7, fourth ward 3607. These figures compared to the present population-size of the Moberly wards, show that a heavy drift of residents southeast and southwest has taken place in' recent years. 2 CHURCHES DESTROYED BYJIRE Mount Salem. Baptist and Providence Christian Near, Huntsville Burned PUBLIC BUILDING SETS NEW RECORD Lindberghs Make New Record In Flying Across Nation In 14 Hours BLAZE STARTED ABOUT MIDNIGHT these --seijurns are making an enumeration" of- -their, own or gathering data to be against the enumerators. The 1920 total census for Moberly is given as The 1910 Moberly census was 10,923, that of 1900 was 8,012, that of 1890 was 8,215.

Postal- censuses and city directory censuses have given Moberly a population-estimated between 15,000 and 17,000 in 1929. Such' unofficial figures may be something; to set up through pride but they don't stand up against the figures sent out by the government and relied upon by outsiders. The Moberly population for 1930 will be considered just what the" census enumerators report they counted it. Therefore, if the 1930 figures show a Moberly population less than 15,000 Moberly people won't have much chance to argue to the contrary. It is for that reason that every Moberly person entitled to be enumerated should see that lie or she is enumerated.

The enumerators, it is conceded by those who. have watched their work, are doing au that they can to get a complete enumeration but they are certain to miss many people for one reason or another --and reasons are possibly beyond their control. 2,000 Registered Voters With the figures from the thiid ward tentatively made np, some other figures are being eonsiaei- ed The registration for voting purposes in that ward contains approximately 2000 names of persons who are of legal age. The registration makes no allowance for children and how many of such are in the ward is, of course, not known. The old method computing population was to multiply the number of voters by fvve.

That can not -now be done for the women are voting and a multiplication of the vote by would be a misleading total of population. Two and a half times the voting strength perhaps would be a reasonable ratio of population On that basis -the third ward should have between 3700 and 4 0 0 0 residents, men, women and children. The- theory, however, mav be entirely inconsistent with Sets disclosed by a careful and Awarding of $303,000,000 in Contracts in 3 Months Best for 5 Years WASHINGTON, April 21 (API --Secretary Lament- said today that awarding of 3 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 iii public construction contracts during the first quarter of 1930 in 37 states indicated that his estimate S.7,000,000,OOU for the year would be fulfilled.
