Of building, Jas. Gleason and Harry
Scanlon, two long term convh.ts, wrlg-
eled through tiny hole in barred

Mexico Revolt a Factor.

According to the receivership peti- tion. the financial resources of the Frisco had been drained by the obli- cations the road assumed in lhe pur- chase of the Chicago X Eastern Hi nois railroad, which was thrown into the hands of a receiver in Chicago simultaneously with the appointment of the Frisco receivers in St Louis. This drain upon Frisco earnings the effect of the Mexican rebellion on the business of Texas subsidiaries, strikes in the Illinois coal districts last year and floods this year were the primary causes of the receivership, ac- cording to the petition filed by Judge Priest in behalf of the Frisco system.
 When the Frisco acquired the Chi cago X Eastern Illinois in 1902 it bought 1S0,445 shares of common stock and 123,S35 of preferred stock, paying $150 a share for the common and S250 for the preferred, and obli- gated itself to pay 10 per cent divi- dends on the common stock and 6per cent on the preferred.
 The earnings of the Chicago X East ern Illinois were not sufficient to pay these dividends and other obligations, according to Judge Priests petition. The Frisco had to make up the an nual deficits, amounting to s600.000 and S700,00O. These, with other loss es incident to the ownership of the Chicago X Eastern Illinois, caused Frisco losses approximating S1,000,000 year, the petition declares.
 Yoakum and his associates pro- noted numerous railroads in Texas, which were sold from time to time to the Frisco. To carry these roads. the Frisco issued 29.000, 900 of bords on the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico lines. on which 1t had to pay interest
