Squeezed the Soueezers.

II Is said that when Mr.. Yerkes be-
gan to make money some OF the banks
from which he had borrowed thought
to squeeze" him by demanding in
stanr repayment or large considera-
ton for further time. He was invited
to call on one of these bankers" and
there met the others. Their demand
was made, and their victim seemed at
their mercy. They did not, however,
know the resourcefulness of Mr..
Yerkes, who retalated by remarking:
"Well, owe lot to all the banks
here, and I'll just publish statement
tomorrow in the papers giving the full
amounts and stating my inability to
pay. This will make such run on
the banks that they will soon be as
broke as should, and therefore shall
not be the only sufferer"
The "squeezers" recognized the truth
of this and 50 withdrew their demand.
Mr. Yerkes. however refused to with
draw his threat unless they lent him
another $4,000. They did so.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

tFROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, d. c., MARCH : 18th.
The leaders in the House have for
mulated tentative plans for the pass
age of the Payne tariff bill and unless
these plans miscarry the measure will
be voted on about April 10Th. Mr..
Payn's hopes are that the general de-
bate will be allowed to run until next
Wednesday, when a rule will be pre-
sented providing for ten days debate
under the five minute rule; then three
days to be consumed in the consider
alton of and votes upon amendments.
Republican leaders realize of course
that the rule must contain some re-
strictions upon amendments if the
bill is to be disposed of before the late
summer. The present indications
are that there will be no united op-
position to the bill as a whole.
President Taft has told the mem
bers of his cabinet that he expects
each to assume all responsibility for
and exercise supreme control over his
department, and that each head of a
department will be held responsible
for the conduct of that department.
He has emphasized the fact that he
wants results and has assured the
members of his official family that
they are free to select their own as
sistances without personal or political
assistance from the White House.
Mr.. Taft thinks it would be unjust
for him to hold his cabinet officers
responsible for results should he, for
political reasons, dictate the men on
whose assistance they must rely for
the success of their respective depart

the firm Is thereupon and thereby dis
solved. When that happens, there
must be an inventory and an ap-
praisal and a reorganization. If at his
death it comes out that the deceased
partner mad been fooling in outside
ventures and had become involved. his
interest in the firm becomes a, part of
his assets, and this condition may Sc
riously disturb the conduct of regular
business.
On the other hand, If the business
is conducted by corporation and
fails, no shareholder loses more than
the cost of value of his shares. He
is not individually liable for a dollar
of its Indebtedness. If one sharehold-
err dies, even if he is the chief owner
the business runs along just the same
outwardly and there is no winding up
of a firm-just a transfer of stock. If
the dead shareholder is involved un-
fortunately in outside operations, all
that can happen to his interest in the
Incorporated business is to have his
shares sold. The business is not
necessarily interrupted at all.
Finally. If the people holding stock
in corporation wish, they can al
ways relinquish their charter and es-
tablish themselves as a firm. accept
unlimited liability, a breakup of bust
ness in case any of them dies. and all
the chances of complication that part
nerships carry with them. But people
don't do that; they prefer the incor-
porated method with it's many protec-
tons and advantages. That is why
corporations and strictly private enter
prises are on different footing.-

The Difference.

The Bridgeport Standard an excel
lent journal, thinks the suggestion of
treating corporations differently from
firms and individuals is inequitable and
it states a case as follows:
Two concerns. involving the same
amount of capital, engaged in the
same business and employing the same
number of people, may be located to-
gether. One may be an individual
concern, owned by one man, or a part
nership concern, with two or more
partners; the other may be a corpora
ton doing business under the corpor-
ate laws of the state in which it is
located.
We beg to invite further attention
to this very interesting distinction.
Just notice this: If the firm fails every
partner is liable for all the debts it
may owe; the indiscretions or dishon-
esty or the simple foolishness of one
partner may absolutely ruin all of
them. If any one Of the partners dies.

NO CRITICISM DUE
OVER STARK DEAL
Both Rock Island and Peoria Are Sat
isficd and Surely Nobody Else
Should BE Sore.

Some newspaper in the Three-Eye
circuit. in noting the turning over OF
Eddie Wise by Rock Island to Ottum-
wa, took occasion to slam the Rock
Island association for trading Al Swain
for Wise and Claude Stark last sea
son. Practically every other newspa-
per about the league, outside of Rock
Island, has reproduced the criticism in
one form or another. This slam is en-
tirely uncalled for
AS matter of fact. the deal was
one that benefited both parties. At
the time Peoria did not need Stark
and Wise, and Swain had accumulated
a crouch that rendered him of no par
ticular value to this city. Wise and
Stark filed weak spots in the Rock
Island team, the latter player particu-
larly proving great element of
strength. 1t is true that Donnelly sold
Swain for a good figure this spring,
but it must be remembered that Clar-
ence Rowland was not running the
ADpTueeH team last season, ana SWdllll
would have been worth little or moth
ing on forced sale at that time.
There is no disposition to take any
credit from Donnelly for making a
good bargain in disposing of the play
cr, but the kind of a market he had
must be taken into consideration.
AS a result of the trade last year, in
which title to Stark was secured for the
season only, Rock Island was able to
get full ownership of the player this
year at a small outlay-and ask any
Rock Island fan whether or not he is
a valuable man. Having him, Rock Is
land is provided with a first class first
sacker and change catcher and can
| thus have a bench manager without
exceeding the team limit We also
have one of the best cOachers in the
business, besides an old head in the
game just where he is most needed

Quincy. 1t will lie up in port here for
a day or two, until it has undergone
the inspection of the government in
spectors of this district with headquar-
ters in Dubuque. When that is com
pleted, it is expected that the boat will
be put into the service at once, and it
is hoped to have it running by Satur-
day. 1t is expected that the boat will
be able to make half-hour trips be-
tween Moline and Bettendorf by means
of the new government lock installed
last year. If the business warrants
it, another boat will probably be
added before the season is very old.

number of the prominent fans. Presi
