After being regarded for years
as one of the soundest and most
prosperous railroad properties
in this country the St. Louis 4
San Francisco Railroad has sud
denly been thrown into the hands
of receivers because of its al
legged inability to meet an obliga-
tion of something like two mil
fion dollars, an amount that looks
small beside the wellknown
earning capacity of this great
railway system. Already asser-
tions are being made that a
great financial scandal, such as
have repeatedly disgraced the
railroad business of this coun-
Sry, will grow out of this defal-
cation. The St. Star already
prociaims it deliberate attempt
on palt of the management of
system to wreck it for the benefit
of a few of the big insiders, a
scheme to absorbe the invest
mentS of the multitude of small
holders of the railroads stock.
Whether this is true or not will
come out in the investigation
of the railroads financial man
agement that is now promised
1t is claimed that the men in
charge of the Frisco have be-
come immensely wealthy and
the small stockholders are now

how these gentlemen got their
wealth.
