John H. Davis, New York Banker,
Criticizes Reorganization Scheme
of Rock Island Road.
Company Gets No Fresh Money for
Increase of ITO Per Cent
in Its Capital.

John H. Davis, the New York banker
who Is we'll known In the northwest
through his annual visits has sharply
criticised the reorganization scheme Of the
Rock Island road in his latest circular. He
says:
The scheme for reorganizing the finan-
cial basis of the Rock Island is ingenious.
In q way 1t testifies to the manipulative
ability of the new element in control Of
property which has paid continuous divi-
dends for more than twenty years and
whose directory has included some Of the
most respected capitalists both east and
west. So far as these new dictators are
concerned they make 1t an exceedingly
profitable transaction.
Their plan in brief Is that new COM
pany be organized under Iowa laws to
acquire the SIS, 900, 900 stock of the present
Rock Island company; that another COM
pany organized under New Jersey laws
shall own the stock Of the Iowa company;
that In exchange for each share Of stock
of the Rock Island Railway company there
shall be given $500 in per cent bonds Of
the Iowa company secured by its stock;
$40 In non-cumulative preferred stock Of
the New Jersey company bearing per
cent for seven years, 5 per cent for seven
years and per cent thereafter, and S1O0
in the common stock of the latter. If all
OF the present stock assents the capital
ization will be increased from SIS, OOO 900
~ %So"'ooosoOo, VI ~ per cent. ana 1OT
all this increase of capital and an increase
of So, 900 per year in fixed charges, the
company, as such, gets no fre~h money
at all and no additional prope ty The
proposal Is simply to exchange one piece
OF paper for three pieces, the par value
Of the three aggregating ITO per cent more
than that of the one
If the three have ready market value
greater than the one. then the stockhold-
ers of record at the time fixed for the ex-
= change can make money. In order to
make this outcome look probable the price
OF Rock Island was hoisted to 200 by
methods we'll known to Wall Street.
AS the singular provision Is made that
majority Of the board of directors shall
be elected by the preferred stockholders,
the syndicate can afford to speculate with
the common stock and sell every share of
1t without jeopardizing their control
1T is not alleged that the new securi
ties may not have a substantial value
If last years business could be assured for
the years to come the proposed capitalize
ton would not be burdensome to the prop
erty. But lean years are coming when
schedules based upon 1901 and 1902 will
present a very different aspect"

had treated cholera in the east at Union
town, Pa, a little place just west of the
Alleghenies, where the first man was TAX
en- sick one morning and twenty-five Of
the villagers were dead within the next
forty eight hours. I had thus become
somewhat familiar with the disease, and
for that reason, probably, was Weakened

to go and see a woman reported very sick
in a clearinghouse on First street near
First avenue.
'She was an unmarried Irish immigrant
about 80 years old. She had come up the
river on the same boat on which several
passengers had died Of cholera between
here and Dubuque. The epidemic was
raging down towards New Orleans. After
landing here the women went to this
boarding house. It was kept by an Irish
man.
when I passed through the dining
room I saw thirty or forty boarders taking
an early breakfast. I walked up stairs

got my eyes on the woman I exclaimed
sCholera! Tim almost sprang backwards
and was down the stairway in a second
A few minutes later when I'd done what
could-it was already too late-I passed
out through the dining-room and all the
food lay there untouched. Landlord
boarders, walters and cooks had started
for a healthier atmosphere.
"Well, the woman died before noon
The next morning, a little Irish girl. abou
IL years old, living across the street, who
must have come into close contact with
| the first case, was taken down with the
| usual cholera symptoms. She died be-
fore evening.
''There the scourge stopped, though
half the town was getting ready to emf

last cholera cases in Hennepin county
and probably In the twin cities. Tha

ANOTHER GRAND
REVIEW
Only the Remnants Of the Magnificent Armies
Passed Along Pennsylvania Avenue
This Morning.
THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS
President Roosevelt Reviewed the Veterans From His
Carriage and Drove From the Reviewing Stand TO
the Peace Monument-There Was Con-
tlnuous Cheering.

Washington, D. G., Oct. S.-The rem
nants of the magnificent armies of
Grant, Sherman, Thomas, SloCum and
Sheridan, which participated in the
grand review at the close of the civil
war, again today passed up the historic
Pennsylvania avenue. 1t was an ideal
autumn day. Although the procession
was not to move until 10 o'clock,
swarming crowds were abroad early
lining the sidewalks and overflowing
the great stands along the line of
march. Windows, roofs and every
point of vantage from which the par
ade could be seen were BLACK with peo-
pie.
At II o'clock President Roosevelt
left the White House, starting down
Pennsylvania avenue. He reviewed the
parade in his carriage and as it ap-
peared on the avenue the president
was greeted with loud cheers. The
president stopped at the reviewing
stand for moment until the marshals
of the parade and Rawlin's Post of
Minneapolis, the right of the line, had
passed and then drove down the avenue
to the Peace monument at the foot Of
the Capitol. There was a continuous
cheering of the crowds as the president
drove along.

Legislation,
SENTIMENT IS GROWING

| Colorado Springs. Colo, Oct. S.-The
all absorbing topic among the delegates
| to the National irrigation congress is
| the question of the proposed merger
with the Trans mississippi commercial
congress. The tendency on the part of
the delegates to favor the merger Is
constantly growing and there is little
doubt as to the movement proving sue
cessful An effort was made at the op-
ening of congress this morning by the
opposition to the merger to force the
question to a vote by shutting off fur
ther speech making until the reports of
the committees on resolutions and per-
manent organization had been heard,
neither of which had yet been submit
ted The sense of the convention was
to some extent determined by the Vot-
ing down of this resolution At this
mornings session addresses on the
great benefits that will accrue to the
people as result Of the irrigation leg
islation were made by Congressman
Tawney Stevens, Morris and Heatwole
of Minnesota. The afternoon will be
taken up with the addresses of the
numerous state engineers and Chief
photographer Newell of Washington,
on the practical phases of the problem.
