20, Rock Island q Colorado Railway wore
consolidated under the name Of the Chica-
70, Kansas & Nebraska Railway Company.
The annual rental, 5000, and the operat-
ing expenses proportioned on wheelaSe
basis.
April 10, 1883, the Union Pacific Railway
Company leaeed to the Chicago, Kansas d
Nebraska Railway and to the Chicago, Rock
Island & Psci6c Railway Company, for a
term of 800 years, the right to connect tracks
st Limon and Denver, Colorado. and run
trains over the line between those points.
Annual rental equal to Is cents per mile for
passenger trains and 30 cents per mile for
freight trains, or 200 when mileage does
not equal that amount.
The st. Joseph & Iowa railroad was
short line road running from Altam0nt,
Missouri, "a small station touched only
by the Chicago, Rock Island g Paci6c)
to st. Joseph, Missouri, and from South
st. Joseph to Rushville, Missouri, a small
station across the Missouri river from
the city of Leavenworth, Kansas, ON the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway.
The line from Altamont to st. Joseph
was and is the beginning Of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska railway, which road,
as q Kansas corporation, commences at
Elwood, Kansas. The St. Joseph & Iowa
railroad made its first report to the state
auditor Of Missouri for taxation In De-
cember, 1885, thus proving that the road
was completed between June /, 1885, and
June /, 1885. In December, 1887, the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway
returned this road as part of It's system,
thus proving that ON June 1, 1887, the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific owned
the ST. Joseph g Iowa railroad. Com
pare these facts with the statement in
the quoted extract given above, wherein
ls the statement that the road was not
purchased by the Rock Island until De-
cember 80, 1883.
Now look at statement from the re-
port Of the Rock Island.

/ will now show that under fair state
ment Of facts aud figures the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska neUer was in default,
or showed deficit, as l have already
shown that If such deficit had really have
existed, the Rock Island route, instead OF
charging it all to the Chicago, Kansas g
Nebraska, should have shouldered most
Of it itself, as the holder of majority
of the stock.
Note first the fact that the extension
bonds," issued by the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific as security for the funds
with which to build It's Chicago, Kansas
& Nebraska extension, draw only 3 per
cent. interest, while this model, modern
bandit exacts from its own extension,
upon the bonds taken as security % for
The advocate., 1891-05-13

l wish to call attention to several facts
contained in the foregoing statement.
First note the fact that these eTtension,
mark you, extension bonds, are as Of
issue during the year 1884, and are q
direct lien upon 142 miles Of road, incIld-
ing the st. Joseph & Iowa railroad. The
st. Joseph 6 Iowa railroad was chartered
In 1884, and was built with funds pro-
vided by the Rock Island, the pretended
purchase being nothing but sham and
q fraud, as was also the pretended lease
Of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska to
the St. Joseph & Iowa, the Rock Island
having been for more than q year prior
to date Of this fraudulent lease, engaged
in building, not only the St. Joseph 8
Iowa, but also the Chicago, Kansas q

NebrasEA Hear what PooF's manual for
1881 says in giving railroad transactions
for the year 1885. I Iquote from supple
ment, under the head of "Chicsgo, Rock
Island g. Pacific Railway Company" as
follows:
The ST. Joseph & Iowa railroad from Alta
mont, Missouri, to st. JoPeph, Missouri,
1875 miles, with branch from st. Joseph,
Missouri, to Rushville, Missouri, 14.66 miles,
was opened for traffic February l, 1886.
This company, (the Rock Island) issued
$96OOO0 of it's per cent. extension and col
lateral bonds in aid of the construction of
the line, receiving as security for the invest
ment the entire stock and bond issues Of
the St. Joseph & Iowa railroad. The COM
pany (the Rock Island) has also aided in
the construction (2) of the Wisconsin, Min
neoots & Pacific, and the Chicago, Kansas
& Nebraska railways, issuing its extension
and collateral bonds for that purpose as in
the case of the Sc. Joseph & Iowa railroad.
It has issued total of 81, $4,000 Of these
bonds in aid Of the three lines above men,
toned, receiving 81, 100000 per cent.
bonds of the companies and majority of
their capital stocks as security.
Compare the foregoing with the fol-
lowing sworn statement:
December 20, 1883, the Chicago Rock
Island & Pacific Railway Company pur-
chased the property of the ST. Joseph &
Iowa Railroad Company, including its lease
of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska Railway
Company entered into May Is, 1886.
I consider that I have proved my first
proposition, but If any further evidence
is needed, it is found in the fact that
M. A. Low, general attorney for the
Rock Island route, is president of the
Chicago, Kansas & Western, while H. A.
Parker, third vice president of the Rock
Island route, is vice president of the
Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska. What an
interesting and amazing spectacle it must
have been to see Mr.. Low, as attorney
for one road, drawing up lease, for hima
self, as president Of another road, to sign

ception to It's -blooded execution.
This Gaze furnishes q striking illustra-
tionsgGsthe anomalous condition Of our
legal structure, under which IL Is posi-
Bile for ayaricious corporations and plu-
tocratlc cofmoEants to rob, pillage and
plunder at their own sweet will, and mot
only escape penal punishment, but
actually obtain the sanction Of law and
the protection Of our courts In their
schemes Of spoliation.
The court In Its discussion says that
the only question at issue was whether
or not the stockholders had defGuIted,
but il said not one word about the fact,
that with the exception Of the $2,5O0,OOO
In stock issued to cities, counties, etc.,
etc., both the stock and bonds were issued
to the Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific
railroad Nor did the court enlarge upon
the fsct, that such road, II it still owned
the stock, was In this action preparing to
profit by It's own default and foreclose
upon its own road, or the further fact
that IL such road had sold the stock, 1t
was simply by it's present action deliber-
ately stealing the money received for
such stock.
But proposeto show that mot only is
the ChiCag "A ahSas & Nebraska virtual
ly portion OF part of the Chicago, Rock
Island q PaCife, but also that the Chica-
20, Kansas Il Nebraska did not default
under any fair construction Of the facts
in the caseG In order to establish the
claims made, it will be necessary for me
to quote extracts from the reports made
by the roads under consideration to the
board of railroad commissioners Of the
state Of Kansas, which reports, while
very skillfully prepared, yet adduce sufi-
cient evidence 70 prove conspiracy to
swindle the public. "Out of their own
mouths shall they be condemned"
Let us take "a glance at the history Of
the Chicago, Kansas Il Nebraska Rail-
road Company In Its report It says:

weekly bank statement published to-day showed
gain in cash of $4;l76,7 700 While the move
ment of money TO the interior lighter and the
balance Of the movement probably smaller loss
than the expert estimates, the estimate was more
noteworthy by its correction Of the errors which
have occurred in the preceding two weeks. The
gain in gold for instance, was considerably larger
than the total imports Of gold and the excess Of
payments by the Treasury. The discrepancy in the
item of deposits was partially corrected the in
crease being over $1,150,00o less than the other
changes demanded. The statement probably
approximates very closely to the actual condition
of the banks at the close of business Friday
