~RECEIVERSHIP VACATED

After a two days hearing in
Judge Guy kirby's division of
the circuit court, an order made
by Judge John T. Moore in the
Douglas county court for the ap.
pointment Of two temporary re.
c~eivers for the Kansas City, Or.
arks & Southern railway, was
ordered revoked and temporary
receiverShip vacated Saturday
afternoon.
The decision is a decided victo
rs for the defendants ir an action
instituted by J. B Quigley, vice
president and general manager
of the road, who sought a receiv-
ership for the corporation on the
grounds that its affairs, particu-
larry its financial affairs, had been
mismanaged. The defendants are
the officers and directors of the
road, named as w. A. Latimer of
Sedalia, A. Heman of St. Louis
and the Nrooman estate of st.
Louis.
Mr.. Quigley told numerous in
stances through which he de-
clared miSmanagement was re-
sponsible for awful conditions
of the railroad. Among other
things, he declared, that direct
Ors' meetings were not held in
accordance with law; that the di
rectors had placed a mortgage OF
Sl50,0C0 on the property, and in.
stead of using the proceeds tt
develop the railroad, had used i,
for personal business and tina,
they had each subscribed $4,000
of the capital stock, but it hac
not been paid up.
The defendants testimony
throughout was to the effect tina
Quigley as a director, holder of
of the capital stock and genera
manager, knew of all contracts
financial and otherwise, and wa
perfectly aware of each transac
ton in which he had declared tn
directors had 'mismanaged.
Proof in the way of contract
signed by Mr.. Quigley and min
utes OF all meetings of the stock
holders and directors, were in
troduced as evidence.
Judge Kirby sustained the INC
ton for a vacation of the orde
appointing the receivers. TIL
motion was filed by the defendan
corporation on the grounds tina
a receivership was not necessar,

tween QnlSley ana the otner
members of the company owning
the road Quigley claimed that
he had been kept IN the dark re-.
garding all affairs of the road eX.
cept the actual operation of the
line, but the defendants claimed
that he was as familiar with con
ditions as they and that his ac-
ton in having in having the road
placed in the hands of receivers
was not necessary.
The defendants employed
Judge Frank II. Braden of st.
Louis. Fred Stewart of Ava, J.B.
TodaNf Springfield and Ross b.
Gilluly of Kansas City, all of
whom were in attendance at the
hearing opposed to G. NJ. Sebree
and W. d. Tatlow. attorneys for
Mr.. Quigley.
"Railroadingu nderditicultieS'
might well be termed the, sub.
ject of j. b. Quigley's testimony
concerning the Kansas City, O..
zarkS and Southern line.
He said the line was built for
an electric instead of a steam
road and that a lot of trouble had
been caused owing to the use of
a steam passenger and freight
service, Rails were not heavy
enough, ties have rotted out and
the road bed is not solid enough,
he said.
The weight of the engine
caused many of the curves to be
made 80 per cent instead of 20
per cent curves. he said. He eX.
planned that the wheel. base of
the engine was such that when
rounding a 20 per cent curve, the
rails would be pushed out" by
the centrifugal force of the train,
thereby making Representatives,
in some places.
In the last Month or six weeks
an average of one derailment a
day had occurred. This was a
low estimate, Mr.. Quigley added,
Only last Tuesday night there
was a derailment that ~necessita

said there was a longitudinal
crack in the boiler sufficient to
cause it to be condemned. There
was not the least chance of get
ting any insurance on the thing,
he remarked.
Ties along the line are rotting
out very fast because the road
has no rock, chat or gravel ballast
Some bad holes are to be found,
Mr.. Quigley said. He remarked
that when it rained the track
sunk into the ground.
1t was impossible to keep the
line from having "low joints" he
explained. He said that a low
joint" is a low place where two
rails meet. These were raised by
means of a jack placed under the
rails. On this railroad, however,
it is impossible to raise the joints
because, in raising the rails, the
spikes pull out of the ties be-
cause they are so rotten. Derail'
ments are caused by low joints,
he said.
In some places fouror five ties
rot out in a string. When the
engine goes over them the weight
breaks the rails, and there is an.
other derailment. An average of
one deraIlment a day was small,
he said.
! The road has no section gang.
There was no money available to
pay a crew, he said. Many times
the pay roll of the employees was
not met and it looked like the
road would have to shut down
, until the hired help could be paid
Mr.. Quigley said.
He said he made a trip over the
! rOadbed and counted about 5000
bad ties two months ago. Two
weeks ago he made another trip
and he said the road needed at
. least $4,000 new ties. There is nc
chance to buy them, though, he
said, because the road had nc
-, credit and no money.
The temporary receivers who
took charge a few weeks ago paid
rSS00 in old bills. Some $500 was
. for coal and about 500 of it was
for lumber for repairing a station
house. There were a number of
! other old bills that were long
O past due, he said.
u. The other night he made a tril
:, to Mansfield, but the train wa.
. so late that it was not possible tt
get back to Ava. He said there
were three carloads of merchan
, disc to be taken back. The pros
q poets for the road are very bright
if it had some money to start on
with, Mr.. Quigley said.
+ The revenue amounts to abou'
$4,000, he said. The expense o
7 operating probably would amour
+ to 81, 500 a month.
7 He added that he could not give
! very good figures because hi

quarters that he is eager to patch

to be an interview given by him in
Los Angeles he is made to say that

Jones Disoards His Toupee.
Jones has become a notably Sc

carded that flippant toupee he
sported a couple Of years ago and
when he removes his hat in your

prattling Of the possibilities Of the
future in the managerial line the
electric lights produced strange st.
Elmo effects on the apex of Toms

He was too full of his subject.
The point Jones IS most buzzed
about at present is his recent an
nouncement that he Is to pilot old

Here's the thing in a nutshell
