FICTITIOUS DEBT
CAUSES FAILURE
Examiner Finds Bankers Got
$32, 100000 and Yoakum
and Friends $1,000, 1000.

-Aenis,- Now s2-G Chairman -Giers
and E. Z. Brown, examiner, of the in,
terstate commerce commission. left
for Washington yesterday following
the inquiry into the Frisco receiver.
ship. The official report TO be laid be
fore congress next month will show the
following causes of the roads failure:
The Frisco was compelled to carry
and pay interest on a fictitious indebt-
edness of $4,000, 900, created by enor-
nous commissions paid to bankers and
brokers for the sale of securities and
profits to promoters of feeder lines in
the southwest.
The chairman of its board of direc-
tors. b. +. Yoakum. made huge profits
for himself and associates by trading
with himself in the capacity of pro-
moter and builder of Texas roads
which he caused to be sold to the
Frisco at prices in excess of their
value.
approximately $32 ZOO, 600 figuring in
the Francisco's total funded indebted
ness of s244,0OO,O0O was paid to bank
ers and brokers in commission and
more than $4,000 to Yoakum and
his associates as profits on their feeder
lines. The average rate of commits
sion to brokers and bankers was 1905
per cent, while the profits of Yoakum
and his associates in the promotion of
the feeder lines sold to the Frisco
ranged from 10 per cent to more than
100 per cent
These facts, in the opinion of Mr.
Brown, who conducted the investiga-
tion for the interstate commerce COM
show clearly why the road
was forced into the hands of receivers.
The company was compelled to pay in
terest charges aggregating more than
Il 100000 year on this fictitious in
debtedness. representing money which
never went into the Frisco treasury.
w X Bixby, now a director of the
ST. Louis and San Francisco railroad,
who invested in the syndicate that
promoted the st. Louis, Mexico and
railroad, which later was
sold to the Frisco, yesterday issued d
statement that he personally lost $II9,- I
