RAILROADS ARE
NOW PROSPECTING
Statistics Show That Many Are
Recovering From Their FL
nanCiaI Troubles.

Statistics show that there were TWEEN
ty-four railroads in 1908, operating S,009
miles Of line, which found their way into
the hands of receivers. The aggregate
IuhQed debt Of these properties was
about S21.000000. which. with S325 3J0. 900
capital stock, outstanding, made a total
OF ABOUT S395,5JOO00 worth of securities
involved. Many of these lines are now
ON the way to termination of their re-
ceivershps
Since the Alaska Central was taken out
OF the hands of its stockholders the
property has been put i'm excellent shape
ana about twenty miles OF new line
built. The president has recently sue
ceeded IN securing $6,000000 for the com
pdny, OF which amount S63Z000 viii be
put INTO new equipment and the re-
mainder used to complete the road.
At the beginning of the present month
stockholders of the Chicago Great West
efn received an announcement of plans
proposed for reorganization. BY the
terms fixed charges will be greatly re-
duced and provisions are made for the
physical Improvement of the property;
also for the Teplenishment of the much
depleted treasury.
Still more recently the Seaboard Air
Line published plans along the line of
which it is proposed to bring an end to
its reCeivership. Under the scheme
there will be no foreclosure; the first
mortgage bonds will remain undisturbed;
no assessment will be made on either the
common or preferred SIOCk- lneTe Will
be an issue of income bonds in order to
provide funds to care for the present
floating debt and to pay off the receiv-
ers' certificates. In addition there will
be supplemental mortgage to secure an
issue Of S125.Oe0,000 4 per cent unified and
TefundinE bonds. This arrangement of
capitalization will accomplish a saving
of p per cent i'm fixed charges.
In the case of the Norfolk & Southern,
a heavily Interested stakeholder who re
Gently made a tour of inspection says
that the property is in excellent COndi-
ton and that the outlook for traffic inn
prOvement is most encouraging Four
months is given by him to mark the cul-
mination Of the receivership.- 1t is also
stated that progress has been made to
ward reorganization plans by commit
tees of the Atlantic q Birmingham Air
Line. the Detroit. Toledo & IrontOn and
the Oklahoma Central.

The story of the life Of Mrs. Woodir
before she became the ward of LYMAN J.
Gage was a tragic one. Although the
husbands relatives are very reticent
about her early childhood, it is under
stood that she was lost or stolen from
her parents in Chicago when she was
about years of age. WoOdilI several
months ago caused an advertisement to
be inserted in the Chicago papers asking
for informa ton about any one who had
lost a child in that city about eighteen
years ago.
Mrs WoodiIl was a blonde of small
stature and of beautiful face and figure.
WoOdill met Roberts I'm Mcdaniel two or
three DAYS before he left to return west.
He said neither he nor his wife had
known Roberts previously.

HolIingsworth Swings at Agee.
The incident of the day came near the
end of the morning session. Mr. Gideon
asked young Olson why he was sent to
the school. This brought a roar from
Harry Joseph. He reminded the lawyer
that this was reformed boy and he did
not propose to have his past raked up.
He read the attorneys a severe lecture
along this line. Judge Agee took eXCep-
tions to the words and manner of Mr..
joseph and wondered why he did not re-
member this rule i'm the case of King and
other boys Much heat was shown on
both sides. Mr.. Gideon withdrew the
question when he could make himself
heard in the uprOar. After adjournment
Judge Asee tackled Mr. Joseph again as
the men were passing from the building.
Joseph repeated what he had said. Judge
Agee told him he might intimiGate the
women on the committee, but he could
not intimidate him, and he proposed to
have his rights. He shook mis- fist under
Joseph's nose and became much excited.
Charles r. Hollingsworth broke in be-
tween the men and insisted that Judge
Agee be gentleman He was told by
the Judge that it was not his butt-in and

this the excitement subsidized.
