ROCK ISLAND SALE TO
Be COMPLETE TO-DAY
With Confirmation by Court
Real Work Of Reorganiza-
ton to Begin.
LEADERS STILL A PROBLEM

With the confirmation to-day by the
Federal Court OF the sale OF the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company
stock the real work or 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 $40 100000 which It
Is estimated will be required to enable
the road to meet its obligations and put
itself In shape to handle business success
fully.
The financial community, however, as.
sumes that the large holders OF the col
lateral trust per cent. bonds OF the rail-
way company. who are shortly to become
the holders OF the underlying stock. will
be guided by the men who formed the
Wallace protective committee for the
bonds
The need for quick action is becoming
more apparent In Wall street with the
approach OF interest and other payments
which the railroad company can NEE, in
full only through borrowing. Men who
have followed the situation closely pre-
dicted that as soon as the holders Of
obligations press the road for payment
the stockholders OF the railway company
face the alternative OF raising the neces-
sary money or OF being wiped out In
their interest.
An interest payment OF $500, 900 on the
sec. 900. 600 debenture bonds IL due Jan
uary 10. while interest OF nearly So .000,-
600 on the refunding mortgage bonds ~
due April and loan OF $4,000 600
natures April 81.
The injection OF Samuel Untermyer and
his clients into the affairs Of Rock Island
Is regarded by number OF security
holders as a possible deterrent In the work
Of reorganization. The Phelps Dodge in
ter~sts, now in charge OF the property. are
acknowledged in Wall Street to be the
best management the road has had In a
number OF years. A large number OF inn
portant security holders believe II would
be to the best interests OF the road to
have them continued in charge
II Is recognized. however, that the
Cntermyer contingent and their methods
OF attacking the leaders In work OF
this kind present burdens that large in
| terests OF the Phelps Dodge type do not
care to assume.
IL Is pointed out that the Interference
Of the Untermyer contingent in the sale
OF tho stock Just completed succeeded IN
adding about 1900 to the expense to
the stockholders without comforting

IN the Garden last night and previous
10 the defiant statement Issued by Halpin
ne had stated that the full committee
would pass on the cases OF the New York
~ I. men at meeting to be held to-
nlsnt, where, until this surprise was
sprung the charges against Plat Adams.
tho N. Y. A. c. champion broad Jumper,
formed the chief case on the docket. He
sun maintained that the New York A. e.
nad no right to cancel the entries OF its
men, which were made individually, and
mat after sanctloning the meet held in
the Garden the committee was In duty
pound TO see that the rules " the \.
=. u. were lived up to by both promoters
and swimmers.
SO FAR as the show In the Garden In
concerned. great stress IL laid on the fact
mat IL was at the request of the late
James r. sullivan that the amateur
swimming events were included In pro-
Rramnes OF the Sportsmen'a Shows There
are many who contend that the sport OF
swimming suffers for announcement i'm
the wintertime because only club members
can see the races held in the New York A. G.
or CITY a. &. tanks. Many New York A. G.
men are Included In this set but there In
iittIe doubt that the majority Of the mem
bers discourage the idea OF having the
cub emblem prominent at amusement
places where the races are promoted for
commercial reasons only
llalpn called attention to the fact
that the show management had not been
on the level In the men IL advertised
and that pictures had been published of
men who had not entered, including
Arthur McAleenan. Jr, the champion
diver Of the New York 4. g
That the withdrawal of the New York

sensation lie sure II Ia not only the big
gest club In the union hut was instru-
mental IN the founding OF the governing
body after the club had become dissatisfied
with the National Association % Amateur
Athletes. That was In 1887, and since
that time New York a. e. men always
have had strong voice IN the affairs OF
the 4. 4 T. ~ times there have been
rumbles OF discomfort. but never before
has there been a situation which threat
ened TO lead to an open breach such as
has been brought about by the swimmers

perience gained in other years to aid
