Ripley Gives Out His View of
Railroad Conditions.
Says War Will Enhance q Few
American Roads
IN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS
Santa Fe Head Says Roads In
Southwest Will Be Helped.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

According to a Pasadena dispatch
to the New York Evening Post. E.
p. Ripley, president of the Atchison'
in answer to questions as to the In
f1uence of the European war on the
railroad business in the United States,
said that the war had undoubtedly
disarranged railroad business through
out the country but it had enhanced
the business of the railways that
serve the agricultural districts"
He pointed out that if one draws
a line perpendicularly through Chi
cago. to points about 200 miles north
and 200 miles south of that city, and
tremities Of that line to points seven
making a parallelogram, it would be
found that the section of the United
States Of America enclosed therein is
the most prosperous part of the union.
and indeed the whole world. And
Mr.. Ripley added that it is through
a considerable part Of that territory
that the Santa Fee lines are laid.
Mr.. Ripley was. also, asked IL he
believed there would be much unload
ing of railroad stock and bonds on
the part of European investors during
the war and after peace is signed. He
replied:
1.-THE American people will have
to take back a great deal of the Sc
curities held in France and Great
Britain; but I do not look for any
special unloading from Germany. be-
cause the Germans sold pretty heav-
lily before the war began

Wisconsin Boxing Commission Elimi

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Jan. 9.-Boxine in
Wisconsin under state regulation has
been a success. and the commonwealth
has profited more than 1000, accord
ing to a report of the state athletic
commission prepared and issued today
for presentation to the legislature.
The report says in part:
There was more or less opposition
to the commission when it was created
by those opposed to boxing, but wise
and careful administration OF the law
and total elimination of the evil feat
ures Of the old time prize ring has won
thousands of friends for the game.
The general public's interest in the
sport is reflected in the fact that dur
ing the period covered by this report
including only one full winter season,
nearly 10000 persons attended box
ing exhibitions and have paid for adj
mission nearly a quarter of a million
dollars
The commission has been most strin-
gent in enforcing the law and there
have been very few violations. In only
one instance was a boxer accused of
shamming. He was Immediately given
a hearing and. on being found guilty.
was barred from boxing in the state for
one year.

WILD BILL OLD STAR

Wild Bill Donovan, new manager OF
the New York Americana, 10 one OF
the most striking characters Of organ
ICED baseball. He was associated with
Washington and Brooklyn OF the old
National League before he jumped. in
former war times, to the Detroit Tigers.
In the City Of the Straits wild
Bill' always stood out prominently as
a star with poor supporting cast.
Upon the arrival of Hughie Jennings in
1907, he finally found himself and was
most instrumental in winning three
successive championships for Hugh.
In 1858 his record topped those of all
the pitchers of organized ball.
Although his team was beaten three
times in the worlds series-twice by
the Cubs and once by the Pirates-the
work OF Donovan always stood out by
itself in these games.

New York. Jan. 9.-The boxing earn
ings Of Freddie Welsh. charley White
and Joe Shugfue, the past few months
has had its effect on Willie Richie,
former lightweight champion who has
decided to re-enter the ring and gather
another fortune. according to letter
received by Matchmaker Jimmy John
ston Of the Garden. Since beating
Richie for the title Freddie Welsh has
gathered $4,000 in a half dozen bouts.
while White has earned $4,000 since
boxing Richie at Milwaukee. Shugrue
has added 81 500 in the five fights he
has engaged in since returning from
Australia.
Richie will start his new campaign
in New York. having accepted the
terms of Jimmy Johnston for a fight at
the Garden. Richie states in his letter
that he would like to have Ltach Cross
for his first opponent early in February
and providing Cross makes good with
his prediction that he will defeat
Shugrue at the Garden next Wednesday
day night, Manager Johnston will agree
to stage the match.
Richie and Cross produced the best
lightweight match at the Garden in
many years a year ago last November
drawing a $4,000 house. 1t is now up
to Cross to show enough ability against
Shugrue next Wednesday to entitle him
to a return match.

REORGANIZATION OF PROPERTY.
Confirmation of Rock Island Stock
Sale to Bring 1t About.


New York, Jan. 9.-With the con-
firmation by the federal court OF the
sale of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company stock. the
real work of reorganization OF the
property is expected to begin. Thus
far no leader has appeared to shoulder
the responsibility of reorganization
and the raising of the $50, 100000
which it is estimated will be required
to enable the road to meet the obliga-
tons and put itself in shape to handle
business successfully. The financial
community, however. assumes that the
large holders of the collateral trust 4
per cent bonds of the railway COM
pany who are shortly to become the
holders of the underlying stock. will
be guided by the men who formed
the Wallace protective committee.
In the foreclosure suit brought by
the Central Trust company, as trustee,
the stock, which had a face value Of
$71,535,OOO, was sold to a reorganiza-
ton committee at $40 a share.

ABOLISH OBSERVATION ENDS.
Objections Raised by Railways Be
cause Of Heavy Expense.

There is movement among several
western roads to abolish the observation
ends of passenger trains which is a heavy
expense in the operation of trains.
1t is argued by those officials in favor of
the change that comparatively few pas
sengers care to ride on the rear plat
form, even on scenic lines. while the ex-
pense of construction, maintenance and
other operating objection are thought
sufficient to favor their removal
The movement has gained little headway
however, although it is being considered
on several roads. Recently several rail-
ways abolished the Illuminated electric
signs on the rear of trains.
