YOAKUM RESIGNS
THE LEADERSHIP
OF ROCK ISLAND
Is Result of Row Between the
Moore Brothers and D. G..
Reid on One Side, and Yoak-
um on the Other Side.
PRESIDENT WINCHELL
HAS ALSO RESIGNED
1t Is Reported That Yoakum
Has Decided to Cast His
Fortunes With the Great
HaWIey Interests.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-The Moore Broth
ers, who control the Rock Island, and
B. F. Yoakum, former head of the Fris-
co system and now chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Rock Island.
are said to have come to the parting
of the ways. There is an unconfirmed
report to the effect that after trying
in vain to settle differences which have
arisen between the two interested par
ties, both Mr. Yoakum and B. L. Win
chell have resigned. Mr.. WincheIl
has been president of the Rock Island
ever since Mr.. Yoakum cast his lot
with the Moores.
That differences have arisen be-
tween the Moores and D. G. Reid on
the one hand and Mr.. Yoakum on the
other seems unquestioned, but it has
not been admitted that either the pres
ident or chairman is to leave the
Rock Island fold. The controversy.
it is stated, is expected to reach a cli-
max in New York today, where the
matters in dispute have been thrashed
over every day since Tuesday of this
week.

Deputy State Factory inspect
or Fitzgibbons Makes This
Statement After a Careful
Investigation.
GOOD PROTECTION IS
GIVEN THE PATRONS
Official Particularly Praises
The New Local Play House,
Which More Than Exceeds
Requirements.

Upon visit to this city today
Deputy State Factory and Theater In
spector Fitzgibbons Of Muncie. visit
ed the three theaters and several of
the factories. Complaints had been
made in a few instances, but as a rule
he found the conditions here better
than ordinary and in some instances
above the state requirements.
The New Murray theater in partic-
ular was commented upon by Mr..
Fftzgibbons. He said that all OF the
state requirements were carried out
and gave a list of improvements,
which were not required by the state,
ly safe.
The New Phillips theater. about
which he said his department had re-
ceived a number of complaints, was
declared by him to be safe. The laws
of the state do not authorize this de-
partment to make changes in old the
aters, such as the Phillips. No i'm
provements were ordered made at
that play house by Mr.. Fitzgibbons.
The Gennett 10 SAFE.
The Gennett theater affords good
protection to the public. especially
since several recent improvements
have been made, Mr.. Fitzgibbons said.
In view of the fact that the Indiana
law is the strictest of any state in the
union, and Mr.. Fftzgibbons found no
improvements were necessary in any
of the theaters, this speaks we'll for
the interest the theatrical manage
ments have in the public's safety, ev-
en- at a greatly added expense.
In speaking of the characteristics
of the Murray. regarded as a model
play house, which are not required by
law, Mr.. F1tzgibbons stated that the
management had provided an ashes
tos shingle roof; each dressing room
with outside exits; the heating sys-
TEN isolated from the theater and fur
ther protected by a concrete tnclo-
sure; two 2inch standpipes in the
basement: the doors equipped with
fire exit locks of the finest type: one
standpipe in the auditorium; the stage
equipped with an asbestos curtain.
which cares for itself in case of fire.
and other minor features. He was al
SO vel pleased with the vacuum
cleaning apparatus and an improved
and most modern ventilating system.
Regarding the Factories.
Mr.. Fftzgibbons did not state just
what complaints had been made about
some of the factory buildings or whic:,
buildings were complained about He
said that he had ordered only very
minor improvements to be made. and
when these were completed all re.
quirements Of the state law would be
fulfilled. Generally the factory build
ings of the city conform to all re
Quirements of law and many are
equipped with additional features.
When asked about several Of the
| business buildings. he said that his
jurisdiction did not include their in
spection- It is the duty Of the fire
chief to inspect these buildings and
recommend improvements.

way Join HaWtsy.

Mr.. Yoakum's reported desertion Of
the Rock Island fold also brings forth
the statement that he is to go with the
Edwin Hawley syndicate, which has
recently bought SO many roads, includ
ing the Katy" In the latter deal it
is admitted Edwin S. Hawley and B. F..
Yoakum are partners. This transac-
tion is supposed to have started the
row between the Moores and Yoakum
or to have brought it to head. The
Moores are said to have chided Yoa-
KUN for having had private deal
with Hawley, claiming that his inter-
ests with the Rock Island-Frisco sys-
TEN are such that the Moores were en-
titled to all his attention and all his
time. The Katy purchase is also
said to have been a good thing, and the
Moores are credited with resentment
against Yoakum for not having let
them in for a share of it. 1t is also
hinted that the Moores do not like the
frank and open policy which Mr.. Yoa-
KUN and Mr.. Winchell have in dealing
with the public.
