WATERED STOCKS
HURT RAILROAD
Frenzied Finance Had Much to
Do With WreCking of Rock
ISland-FaISe Entries Made
in Books.

WASHINGTON, oct. 17.-Frenzied
finance figured in the wrecking of
the Rock Island railroad
This became evident Friday at the
investigation of that roads affairs
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Reckless dissipation of the Rock Is
land railroads assets in extravagant
salaries. campaign contributions and
shady business transactions were
pointed out
Watering OF stock and false entries
in books OF tHe company were two
salient charges advanced by Fred G.
Sharood, an expert accountant of the
interstate commerce commission, who
was on the stand most of the day.
II. l.. Hine, president of the First
National bank of New York, who took
the stand toward the close of the ses-
sion, was characterized "a dummy di-
rector of the Rock Island Railway
company by Chief Counsel Joseph.W.
Folk of the commission.
you believe it is the duty of a
director who is trustee of the stock
holders money to look after the big
interests TO the detriment of the lit
tie fellow" insinuated Folk.
Not exactly that" said Hine, but
| look after the controlling interests.
am not TAKING care of stray sheep"
Here is the way as shown by the
evidence that the Reed-Moore syndi-
cate controlled the Rock Island rail-
road: They got control in 1902.
Holding companies were organized
in New Jersey and Iowa. Employees
of the Rock Island were made direc-
tors in these two companies. The
holding companies issued together
stocks and bonds to the amount of
$50. 200. This amount was entire
~ dependent on the earning power Of
the $75,0OO,0O0 capital stock of the
Rock Island company. The New Jer
sey company was called the Rock Is
land company; the holding company
in Iowa was known as the Rock Is
land Railroad company. This whole
scheme was labeled watering" by
SharOod, the expert.
Chief Counsel Joseph w. Folk, rep
resenting the commission, observed.
The Rock Island is swimming in
water five times its own volume.
BY the evidence produced Friday
the commission showed tina. the Rock
Island lost 10000, 300 in two deals
the sale of the Frisco and the Chi
cago and Alton.
In the sale of the Frisco $35,0O0,-
600 was lost.

POINT SCORED BY
F|FER'S DEFENSE
Two Witnesses Testify to See
ing Joseph Smith, Accused
by Fifer, at ArmOry on Night
Druggist Was Shot.

A decided point was scored yester-
day afternoon by the defense in the
trial at EIkhart of Floyd Fifer for the
murder of Emanuel Fink. Clarence
Custer, a member of the local national
guard, testified that he saw Joseph
Smith at the Co. +. armory on the
nigh of the murder. According to
Filters confession Smith was with him
on the night of the shooting. Custer
testimony was cOrrObOrated by Claude
Mcmillan another member of the ma
tiOnal guard.
The admission of this testimony was
the first success of the defense in its
effort to prove that Filters confession
was obtained while he labored under
ton by the state failed to shake
either mans story. When Attorney
Peak introduced the witnesses siren
uOus efforts were made b the state
to keep out their testimony. The jury
was excused while Peak and Mont
gomery argued the matter before
Judge Harmon. The court ruled in
favor of the defense.
In the attempt of the defense to
prove an alibi for F'ifer, witnesses who
attended the revival services at the
Linden aV. Christian church on the
night of the shooting were examined.
Among these was the evangelist Frank
Massey. He said he could not tell
owing to the crowds whether Fifer
was present or not.
Harry McInnes and John Ehrhart
testified that they saw Fifer at the
revival services but could Not recall
the night However, they said il was
on the night that a Mr. McWilliams
went forward. Harry Murray testi-
fled that he saw Fifer between the
hours of Z and 1880 on the night of
the shooting but not afterward.
Character witnesses included q
physician and Councilman from War
saw, two women from South Bend and
a school teacher from Warsaw. All
testified TO the good character of
Fifer.
Court adjourned until Monday.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Masked Ball.

About this tme-tAat Is to say,
about the time the Black Hundred was
stretching out It's powerful secret arms
toward Norton-there arrived in New
York city a parsonage. This person
age was the Princess Parlova, fabu-
lousy rich Polish Russian. She leased
a fine house near Central park and set
about to conquer social New York.
This was not very difficult, for her
title was perfectly genuine and she
moved in the most exclusive diplo-
matte circles in Europe, which, as
everybody knows, Is the most brilliant
in the world. When the new home
was completely decorated, she gave
an elaborate dinner, and that attracted
the newspapers. They began to talk
about her highness, printed portraits
of her, and devoted page occasion
ally in the Sunday editions. She be-
came something Of rage. One morn
ing it was announced that the Princess
Parlova would give masked ball to
formally open her home to society;
and it was this notice that first
brought the Princess Parlova under
Braine's eyes. He was at the Perigoff
apartment at the time.
"Well, WE'LL" he ulused aloud.
What is it?" asked Olga, turning
away from the piano and ending one
of Chopin's mazurkas brokenly.
Here is the Princess Parlova in
town"
And who is she?"
"She is the real thing, Olga; real
princess with vast estates in Poland
with which the greedy Slav next door
has been very gentle"
"I haven't paid much attention to
the social news lately. What about
herr"
"She is giving q masked ball to for
mally open her house on the West side.
And it's going to cost pretty penny"
"Well. you're not telling me this to
make me want to know the princess" j."
said Olga, petulantiy.
mo, But I'm going to give you a
letter of introduction to her highness." ;"
"Oh!"
and you are going to ask her to
invite two particular friends Of yours
to this wonderful ball Of hers
Indeed" ironically. That sounds
all very easy"
Easier than you think, my child"
"I will not have you call me child"
"Well, then, Olga"
That's better. Now, how will it be
easier than I think?"
Simply this, the Princess Parlova is
an oath bound member. but has not
been active for years"
"Oho!" Olga was all animation now.
"Go on"
You will go to her with letter Of
ntroduction-no! Better than that,
you will make formal call and show
her this ring. You know the ring" he
said, passing the talisman TO the count
ess. Show this 20 her and she viii

can have a spin besides. Hang

Florence laughed, and even Jones
permitted a smile (Which was not
grim this time) to stir his lips
A happy person is generally un-
observant. Two happy persons to-
gether are totally unobservant Of
What passes around them. In palmer
terms this lack is called love. Ard
being frankly in love with each other,
neither Norton nor Florence observed
that z taxicab followed them into
town Jones, not being in love, was
kcerly observant; but the taXicab
took up the trail two blocks away, so
the matter wholly escaped Jones eye.
The two went into several cos.
tuners, but eventually discovered a
shop en- q side street that had been
overlooked by those invited to the
masquerade. They had merry time

rcured Olga undes her breath as she
rose and started for the hallway.
Thus It was that when Norton went
to the Office the next afternoon he
csc1nd q broad white envelope Gil his
desk. Indifferently he opened the
same and his eyes bulged. Princess
Parlova requests" and SO forth and so
on. Then he shrugged. The chief had
probably asked for the invitation and
be would have to write up the doings,
phase Of reportorial work enlinently
distasteful to him. He went up to
the city desk
Cant you find some cne else to Go

editor.
The city editor glanced at the card
and crested envelope. Good Lord,
man. Nobody in this Office had any
thing to do with that. What luck!
Our Miss Hayes tried all manner OF
schemes, but was rebuffed on all
sides. How the deuce did you chance
to get one?"
Search me-" said the bewildered
Norton.

He would go out and see FloreAce
On the way out to RlTeroaIe ne came
to the conclusion that the list OF tne
