SAYS LOSSES IN DEALS
TOTALS MANY MILLIONS
Report of I. c. c. on Stock Trans.
actions by Rock Island Rail-
way Company.

Losses in stock transactions totaling
many millions of dollars and enormous
profits to promoters of holding COM
panies are disclosed with the publica-
ton today of the interstate commerce
commissions report on the financial af-
fairs of the Rock Island railroad. The
commissions investigation was begun
almost a year and half ago.
The commission charges the Rock Is
lands directors with misrepresentation
of assets i'll their reports to stockhold
ers, a practice which 1t severely con-
dennis. and suggests that those guilty
of such acts should be subject to ade-
quate penalties" The report is now
being considered by Department of Jus
tice officials.
Criticises the Directorate.
The commission sharply criticises the
alleged improper stock transactions by
the Rock Island officials. the record of
which, it says. emphasizes the need of
railway directors who actually direct.
There are too may passive directors.
the commission says, who acquiesce in
what is being done without knowledge
and without investigation"
The inquiry. the commission says. has
demonstrated the need of legal limita-
ton of railroad security issues and has
emphasized the necessity of law to
fix responsibility for the dissipation OF
corporate funds.
Receivership Discussed.
Concerning the much discussed re-
ownership. the report says:
at is forceful commentary on the
methods by which a great railway may
be manipulated into receivership
when it is noted that the general coun-
sci, after drawing the bill for a re-
ownership. sold his stock. and the local
counsel, who represented the railway
company in the receivership proceed
ings, owned no stock in the railway
company, and that none of those direct
ly participating in the receivership pro-
ceedings had any financial interest in
the railway company.
The real owners of the railway, the
stockholders. the security holders and
the directors. except those composing
the syndicate and in its confidence,
were in ignorance of the receivership
application"

The engine pulling the special
train carrying Pickens passen-
gers to the boys oratorical con-
test last Friday night was de-
rallied while making the turn on
the Y near the Alice mill going
into Easley. Although the train
proceeded no further, the Pick
ems party was at the school aud
itorium when the speaking be-
gan. Another engine was or
dered out from Pickens to pull
the train on the return trip,
not doubling but that the second
special ordered out would arrive
soon after the contest, passen-
gers patiently waited at the
Mountain View hotel, where the
parlor was kindly turned over
to them until half past twelve,
expecting the train all the while.
Until g. o'clock we waited and
then two we'll known young
men started out and footed it to
Pickens, arriving at 4.35, long
before that special left. After
finding no automobiles avail
able, the remainder Of the Eas-
ley worn party secured sleeping
quarters and by heroic efforts
and with great fortitude man
aged to stay the rest of the
|morning. Several automobiles
and conyeyances from Pickens
conveyed most of the party back
to Pickens and at about 1890
Saturday morning that special
came and bore the remaining
weary ones back to the best
town we knOw.'

Jack knight. hero of diamond battles
in many climes, has at last landed a
managerial berth.
The announcement has been made
that he will succeed Jimmy Sheckard
as manager of the Cleveland American
Association team. Sheckard has been
given his unconditional release. though
the team under his regime was very
successful last season, notwithstanding
it played three-fourths of its games
away from home.
Jack knight has had a peculiar ca
reer in base ball. A few years ago.
when Griffith obtained him from New
York, he did not take enough interest
in his job here to report for training
purposes, coming here a day or SO be-
fore the season opened and being in no
shape to play. He was studying dem
ready to give up base ball. But since
then he has had a change of mind. He
now realizes that he can get more play
ing ball than he can practicing his pro-
fession. so that he has for the past
year been giving strick attention to
base ball and showing to good advan-
tage.
