DROP A Dividend
New Plan to Rid Rock Island
Of Holding Company Control
Topeka Railway Men Hear New
Rumors Of Reorganization.

It is heard in railway circles in To-
peka today that the first step to be
taken by the Rock Island In its pro-
posed reorganization will be the roads

next month, leaving the railroad"

the $1,500,ooo four per cent collateral

The compulsory nonpayment Of
bond interest would naturally be con-
sidered as a default. although under
the terms Of the mortgage. ninety
days may elapse before there 10 an

stances bondholders could take back
the stock Of the railway on equal par

1t is known also in Topeka today
body mentioned in the dispatches-in
charge Of the reorganization plans Is
composed Of Arthur Curtis James,
Francis l. Hine. T. M. Schumacher
and Daniel g. Reid.
This is significant Of the cause Of
the Rock Island reorganization plan.
Topeka railway men believe. The
fact that the Reids and Moores turned
over their offices to the Phelps-Dodge
interests for the purpose of finding
new capital for the rehabilitation Of
the road and that the Ell Paso &
oOutuWSSteTu COlu mas Oecu WltuuetO

it is thought. that it was Chairman
Schumacher who demanded that the
Rock Island straighten out its finaL-
cial tangle before he allowed Phelps
Dodge funds to be sunken in the
property. Now it is seen that Schu-
macher and James, both e. p. & s..
w. men. are members of this reor-
ganization committee.
Nothing new in the outline Of the
Rock Island plan has been made pub
lie, according to Topekans who are

ONLY THING TO DO.
CONGRESSMAN Mann Fav0rs Govern.
ment Railroad In Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Representa-
tive Mann. the Republican house lead
er, made a speech in favor of a gov
ernment owned railroad in Alaska. Mr.
Mann said he considered 1t the only
logical way to insure the development
of Alaska.
''The same dire predictions of So
cialistic tendencies have been made in
measure that has come Of recent
years." he said.
Nearly every crime was laid at the
door Of the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terests by Borland Of Missouri in the
house debate on the Alaska railroad
bill.
1.-The story, running in the sober
records Of the court, included every
thing, from the corruption and bribery
Of judges to the wanton attack by
armed bands of assassins upon the
workmen engaged in rival enter
prises," Borland said. 'Tt is a system
of greed unparalleled since the days
of Warren Hastings. It's scenes were
enacted. not only upon the snowclad
plains Of the Arctic circle; but in the
banks of Wall street and the counting
rooms OF London. This high handed
and lawless attempt to grab the tre-
mendous resources of Alaska caused
by legislative enactment"
He said the situation today offers
only the alternative Of turning the
country back to the Alaska syndicate
or to give the United States the bene-
fit Of the great natural resources by
means of the proposed government
owned railway.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Capper Is Still Doing the Hesi-
tatfOn Waltz
While Scott Goes Straight
Ahead for q Platform.
DAVIES ADMIRES lola MAN
Veteran Progressive Editor
Knows Where to Find Scott.
MurdOck Cleans Up This Week
in the Fifth.

In the prolonged delay Of the Arthur
Capper announcement for governor
many Republicans have mentioned the
possible candidacy Of Charles F. Scott
Of lola as a probable nominee of the
Republicans. Scott il classified as q
regular Republican. believes in the
sound, fundamental and traditional
principles of his party and is ever ready
and willing to fight for the things in
which he believes. 1t is that stand that
has made Scott strong in Kansas and
brought to him the respect of the men
who differ with him In views on public
issues.
Now Conner Davies, veteran editor of
the Concordia Kansan and q Progress
sive of the most pronounced type, pays
tribute to Scott and pushes along the
lola editors boom for governor. Davies
has an ingrowing hatred for trimmers
and straddlers and has used the edi-
torial columns Of his paper to point
with derision to the desertiOn of the
Progressive cause by Senator Bristow.
So, while he differs with Scott regard
ing many things. he admires the Scott
stand and declares it would be a real
temptation to support him for COVER
nor.

be nominated for governor Of Kansas

Tunnel WRECKED
Seven Americans Are Believed
to Be Held Prisoners.
Passenger Train Sent
Into 1t by Bandits.

JuareZ. Feb. 6.-Seven American rail-
road men are believed to be prisoners
in the Great Cumbre railroad tunnel
through the Continental Divide. The
tunnel is in ruins, and the Mexican
Northwestern passenger train which
left here Wednesday morning Is a
charred wreck at the mouth OF the
tunnel as the result of the depredations
Of members of the Castillo gang OF
bandits.
This information amplifying reports

that was destroyed. The Cumbre tun-
mel is the largest on the road, 3. 700 feet
long and required 18 months to con-
struct. The names Of the prisoners re-
ported here are: NJ J. Gilmartin, su-
perintendent of the road; H. Schoeheld,
superintendent Of terminals at Juarez;
Lee Williams assistant manager OF the
railroad commissary: E. ]. McCutch-
con, engineer Of the passenger train;

Villa Is Mad.
General Francisco Villa, command

Chihuahua, was enraged at the news.
and in a telegram which passed
through here today Instructed Gen.
eral Felipe Macias, operating in the
Casas Grandes district. to shoot ev-
cry man who could not satisfactorily
account for his presence there.
The bandits are believed to be op-
Grating in two forces of about 80 men
each, as Cumbre Is a hard days ride
from Ell Vale. near Casas Grandes,
where % OF the robbers were cap
tured and shot last Tuesday.
The other detachment, believed to
be under Castillo himself, did the
wrecking probably in revenge for the
fate Of his men at ElValle. He captured
a train of stock cars Wednesday and
ran 1t into the tunnel where It was
set on fire.
The tunnel was a blazing mass that
evening when the passenger train
from Juarez was captured and sent
headlong into the roaring furnace
which was belching flames and smoke
from its mouth.
Castillo then burned the two neigh
boring bridges one Of them construct

over the embankment into the deep
