FRISCO WRECKED
BY HIGH FINANCE
Commerce Commission Makes
Report on Roads Failure.
4 BIG PROFIT FOR OFFICIALS
In this Scramble to Fill Their Pockets
the Future Of the System Was
Lost Sight OF, Says Report
to President.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Financia
operations, which include the acqui
sition of lines through syndicates
which profited to the extent of more
than $8,000,000, some of which wat
pocketed by the roads own officers
are cited as among the underlying
causes for the insolvency of the St
Louis & San Francisco Railroad Com
pany, in report to the senate by the
interstate commerce commission on
the Frisco lines receivership. No rec.
concentrations are made by the com.
mission, f.. e. Clark, the chairman,
| stating in letter of transmittal ad:
! dressed to the President that they
were not called for in the resolution
adopted by the senate last summer
directing the investigation.
The report shows that the funded
debt of the railroad May ~, 1913.
when the receivership was ordered,
| amounted to 82.63 per cent of the to-
tai capital liability. the total capital
at that time amounting to 1926, $685.
1892, of which only $51 ,364,100 was
capital stock and $244,269,8 1882 was
funded debt, including equipment trust
notes.
That the interest bearing liabilities
of the Frisco system exceeded the
stock liability by 375 per cent land
were wholly disproportionate when
compared with the capitalization of
other carriers, including those in the
territory west of the Mississippi
river is asserted by the commission,
which submits figures for eight select
ed railroads showing the average ra-
tic of funded debt to capital liability
to be 53.65 per cent.
The report further declares that
the inability of the Frisco to meet it's
obligations seemed to have been ap-
parent for some time prior to the APP
plication for receivership; that
strenuous efforts were made by it's Of
ficers to tide over financial difficult
ties from day to day; that money was
borrowed from all available sources
until every avenue of assistance was
exhausted, marketable securities be-
ing either sold or pledged as collat-
eral under the numerous loans, and
that Notwithstanding this exhausted
financial condition, the Frisco sold to
Speyer & Co. of New York $4,000. 900
of its general lien per cent bonds,
transaction which the commission
declares warranted condemnation.
Summarized, the commissions re-
port attributes the insolvency of the
Frisco to these causes: Sc
Disproportionate capitalization.
The acquisition of new lines.
The financing by the Frisco of the
New Orleans, Texas & Mexico rail
road and other South Texas lines.
The desire for an entrance into
Chicago, resulting in the assumption
of heavy fixed charges in the aequisi-
tion OF the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroad.

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE.
Are Told HOW to Regain Strength
and Vigor.

As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectively than in youth, the cir.
calation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for cid
folks, for it contains the very ele.
ments needed to rebuild wasting it's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ca,
says: IF people only knew the good
Vinol does cid people, l am sure you
would be unable to supply the de.
mand. never took anything before
that did me so much good as Vinol
1t is the finest tonic and strength
creator / ever used in my life"

cid people, and create strength we

YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat. The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They lcathe their
breakfast. They may nibble a little
of this and a little of that, but they
do not care for it.
Lunch has lost all of its charms,
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong, of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out of sorts.
That is ALL

that Peri,na acts very beneficially.

Thousands OF people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that is
almost ynbearable. The slavery of

why. Take Peruna before each meal.
