John McGregor, of the Marion County
Board of Commissioners, yesterday issued
call to the county commissioners through
out the State to assemble in this city next
month for the purpose of organization. The
call was issued two years ago for the same
purpose, but owing to the small salaries
many of the commissioners received, 1t was
impossible for them to come and the at
tempt failed. County improvements, con-
tracts and charities and corrections will be
considered at the meeting next month.

NJ S. Connors. general superintendent Of
the Hooking Valley and allied lines. an
nounces that the American Railway Asso-
citation has decided to abandon the opera
ton of trains by telegraphic orders on all
double-track roads in the country. The
change will be made Jan. !. AT the meet
ing there was represented over 70 per cent.
of the entire mileage of all the roads in
the United States, the delegates being COM
posed of the higher operating officials. The
report of the rules committee was adopted
in full as submitted. 1t contemplates the
substitution of the block system wherever
possible.
A high official of the Pennsylvania road
announces that on Jan. 1 the Fort Wayne
line between Pittsburg and Chicago will
make the change, and similar announce
ments are expected from other lines. The
purpose of the change is to remove the
danger of misinterpretation and lost or
ders The trainmen have only the block
signals to watch in the handling of their
trains. 1t is hoped to greatly reduce the
danger of travel and lessen the number Of
accidents.

Small Investor. Seeking the Stock.

President Fish, of the Illinois Central, at
the annual meeting presented interesting
statistics showing how the capital of that
company is held. He accompanied the fig
ures with the statement that there was
strong proof that the people of this country
have more money than ever before and that
the small investor is seeking good railroad
stock as the best means of insuring him
permanent and safe return. One year ago
the company had total of 7,12S stOckhold-
ers. who combined-none of them owning
more than 100 shares each-held S13. 152, 005
out of a capital stock issued amounting to
$9503S, 400 During the year the total num-
Der of stockholders increased to 8,647, gain
of 1,519, mainly small investors. Mr.. Fish
says Ii is a matter of public congratulation
that the people along the lines of large
railway systems are becoming more and
more financially interested in them, as is
evidenced by the fact that 2.21S of the
stockholders reside in the twelve States in
which the company has lines and 1924 are
residents of Illinois.

1t is stated that Boston capitalists are
large investors in stock of the Evansville
& Terre Haute, and the belief is enter
tanned that under the Rock Island manage
ment this properly will be developed into a
second Chicago & Eastern Illinois, proper
tionate to its mileage. The E. & T. H.,
however. lacks the terminals which add so
largely TO the value of the Chicago & East
ern Illinois, bat in proportion to the bust
ness originated there is reason to look upon
the Z. & T. III. possessed of great posi-
bilities. II is a link between the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois, the Louisville & Nashville
and the Rock Island and Frisco system
and under the stimulus of the Rock Island
ownership a vast quantity of paying freight
is already being moved over this line which
1t would not receive but for such owner
ship.
