BIG N. Y. FINANCIERS oUIZZED
BY COMMERCE COMMISSION
Washington, Oct. 17.-Today's
session of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions investigation Of the
Rock Island Railroad was to be de-
voted to the examination of promi-
nent New York financiers, who, it is
said, have dominated the Rock Island
directorate since the financial decline
of the road began.
Further inquiry was pursued by
Chief Counsel Folk today to get at
the facts of the purchase of the FRS
co, which cost the Rock Island loss
variously estimated from $7,300,000
to 35,OOO,OOO. The defense insists
that this deal was simply an error
of Judgment. The Untangling of the
holding company maze through
which, it was charged yesterday, the
Rock Islands stock was Watered to
five times it's par value, will be probed
further. The directors, it is stated,
are due for a scoring for extraVa-
gance in payment of salaries, ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000, to a num-
Der of officials.
. Francis H. Hine, president of the
First National Bank of New York and
a Rock Island director, flared up
when Folk referred to him as a dunn
my director. A sharp verbal pas
sage at arms took place.

SO dreadful as to transcend the eudur-

spoke, that under an invincible in
SEPARATION, when danger threatens her
darlings, she knows no self disgrace,
death atfrights her not she extends
her arm to arrest every approach, Of
fers her own breast as shield against
darts, bullets, sword thrusts, and

life in defense of those loved ones. "

is so dreary when we are bereft OF
mother, yet so few appreciate her as
we should, for what is home without a
