Western Railroads Sued
by New York Brokers

NEW YORK, June 2f-An action
against the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad Company and
the keukuk and Des Moines Railway
Company to recover claims aggregat-
ing more than S5,000,000, Was filed in
the Supreme Court today on behalf
of Henry I. Clark & Company, and
Sartorius & Einstein, two New York
stock brokerage firms which claim to
own or represent more than one
fourth of the outstanding preferred
stock of the Keokuk and Des Moines.
The actions call for an accounting
of rentals due under a lease made in
1878 by the keokuk and Des Moines
of it's entire system, consisting of a
line 162 miles long, from Koekuk to
Des Moines. The plaintiffs contend
that tho Keokuk and Des Moines
stockholders have been deprived of
about $5,000,000 because of misman-
agent of the leased line by the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Com
pany. It is also alleged that the lat
ter company has diverted traffic from
the leased line
