WASHINGTON, FEB. ?6.-Representative
William r. Green OF Iowa attacked the
Rock Island Railway, speaking to-day
in the House In support OF his resolution
authorizing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make an investigation OF
the company and Its financial operations.
He declared that the holding companies
had soaked the railways stocks and
bonds with S12l 900, 900 OF water and that
this treatment had swamped everything
except the fixed charges, which had in
creased from 10 to 80 per cent. He said
these millions OF securities had been
fioated for the benefit Of few men. who
had given no return for their gains
Financial operations on this system
were compared TO those OF the New Haven
and Frisco systems
THE railway company" he said, never
received one dollars beneft by or through
tine stock issued by the holding company.
Its origin afforded financial freebOoters
an opportunity to exploit the railway and

CARNEGIE rRusr ASSETS HIT.
e8SB,0oO Must De Paid e l0th ware
Dank aaA Madison Trast.

Bank aaa Madison Trast.
Supreme Court Justice Plstsek handed
down two decisions yesterday under which
the $4,000 stolen by william J. Cum
Minis from the Nineteenth Ward Bank is
to- be taken from the assets of the
Carnegie Trust Company. In which the
money was deposited, and returned to the
Nineteenth Ward Band. from which Cum
minis got the money. The total amount to be
paid from the assets 10 e336.000. which
includes $4,000 due the Madison Trust
Company.
The cases before Justice Platsek were
brought by the Madison Trust Company,
later merged with the Equitable Trus,
Company and formerly known a. the Van
Norden Trust Company, and the Nine
teenth Ward Bank. The Madison Trust
Company. through its attorneys, Quinn
Beatty. sued for e1s5. 1000. the amount of
three checks drawn on the trust compa ny
and payable to the Carnegie Trust Com
pany. which were given for notes of
Martin J. Condor for $4,000. Joseph B.
Reichmann for $4,000 and Charles A.
Moore. Jr.. for $4,000.
The Madison Trust Company contended
before Justice Platxek that trust re-
lationship existed between Il and the
Carnegie Trust Company which had been
broken by the Carnegie. and for that
reason II was entitled to n preferred claim
against the assets In the hands of the
Superintendent OF Banks.
John Quinn, of counsel for the Madison
Trust Company. said yesterday that he
was gratihed over the result Of the cases,
since they were tried In only eight days
each. while the trial Of Cummins took
over a month.

In view of the reduction of

river and haI'bor appropriation
bill is now pending, and the ar
gument against It's passage is APP

The failure to make the river

be extravaganza, and not econo-

Throughout the United States
are projects under way ranging
from surveys 10 nearly completed

rains, the floods. and the sea are
never idle; they tear down the

The abandonment of these half

mean throwing away millions that
