ALL ROADS MUST BORROW

Analysis, Injuries Public,
He Says.
ALL ROADS MUST BORROW

MOBILE, Ala, April 25.-President
w. w. Finley. of the Southern Rail-
way. delivered an address this after
noon before large number OF repre-
sentative business men under the
auspices OF the Mobile Commercial
Club. He was introduced by Vice
President e. l.. Russell. OF the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad. President Finley,
said in part:
THE commerce OF the United States,
with the Latin American countries, is
now growing more rapidly than that
with any other part OF the world. and
the completion of the Panama Canal
will give a great Impetus to the de-
velopment of all the countries south
of the Rio Grande.
There are only two ways of reaching
markets--rail and water. Neither Is
sufficient alone. Water transportation
is no adequate for interior comerce.
nor by itself for coastwise or for
foreign commerce.. Rail transportation
must stop at the shores of the sea.
ut would be Just as logical for the
people to array themselves against
water transportation. or to undertake
to hamper and cripple 1t, as 1t is for
them to array themselves against raj.
roads and to favor success which VIII
hamper and cripple them
Il think 1t is apparent that any pun
lie policy toward the railroads which
limits their power to increase their
facilities and their carrying capacity
to keep pace with or to even antlci-
pate the active production of the South
ern people is destructive of the best
interests-of the vital interests-of the
people themselves.
TT is unnecessary to point out to
intelligent business men that the pow
err of railroads to increase their facili-
ties is dependent upon their earning
capacity and their credit. or that their
credit is dependent upon sustained
earning capacity.
The roads cannot expect to earn
enough from their current operations
to provide themselves with the facili-
ties absolutely essential in the interest
of our people. The money must be
borrowed.
~ do not believe that with full
knowledge of the facts and with full
appreciation of the destructive conse-
quences to the railroads, to their reve-
nues. and to their capacity 20 serve the
public. either the Governor or the Leg
islature would have favored the legis-
lation In question, and when the true
facts are known. I have supreme con-
fdence that the course of this company
and of the other Alabama carriers will
be upheld by the conservative, and -
the sense of Justice and right"

serving gallantly during the entire con-
fict. After the war he lived in his
native county until the early seven
ties, when he moved to Charles City
county. purchasing the old estate
known as Greenway, which had been
the residence of Governor John Tyler
and was the birthplace of his son.
President John Tyler.
Shortly after Mr.. Bradley's moving
to Greenway he commenced his career
as a turfman. His first horse OF any
note was Starlight. a son of Deucalion.
With him Dir. Bradley ran many races
over the Virginia race-tracks.
Following up his successes. he began
attending the meets at the great West
ern and Eastern tracks. and beginning
with only few horses. increased his
stable until for more than twenty years
he has been one of the best known
and most successful turfmen In this
country.
When the winter racing was III vogue
in New York, Mr.. Bradley won a small
fortune with his great horse Bitten.
whose remarkable performances won
for him the sobriquet of the Iron
Horse; but the greatest triumph OF
the Virginia turfman's life was when
his colt. Robert Waddell. won the
great American Derby at Chicago In
1901. This colt was bred and trained
at Greenway, and was the son of Aloha,
out of Virgie, and but for an untimely
accident would have made career
that would have classed him among
the great stake horses OF this country.
Mr.. Bradley also raced his stable at
New Orleans and in Canada, besides
at one time having horses at the
tracks In California.
Many years ago he began to give
attention to the breeding of thorough
breds, and has owned in the neighbor-
hood of a hundred head on his diff
ferent breeding farms.
Startle. Prosper. Bitten, Aloha,
Milan and N1asac are among the best
stations kept in the stud at Green
way during the years Mr.. Bradley has
been raising colts. OF all Of these.
Aloha has proved himself by far the
best sire.
Bitten, Traverser, Peter Paul and
Boney Boy were among other famous
horses raised and trained at the Grecn-
way stables.
Mr. Bradley was a well-known figure
at the Benning and Washington spring
meets and until the past year has
hardly missed meeting. About a
year ago ne SuHered stroke OF pa
ralysis, from which he never recov-
ered and for some months past he has
been under the almost daily care of
his physicians.
Tribute of Friend.
An intimate friend of Mr. Bradley
spoke of him as "the most unique char
acter on the American turf. one who
was brave. sympathetic. upright and
fearless" His training methods were
all his own, his speciates in raising
and training some of his horses being
quite unique. He was known to his
neighbors in Charles City and New
Kent counties as good man, a kind
friend a devoted husband, and one
who dispensed a generous old Vir-
ginia hospitality at his home, Green
way.
