Salaries.

salary Of $37,500 as chairman Of the
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, the
same amount for serving simultane-
ously as chairman of the executive
committee of the Frisco system and a
guarantee of 100000 additional COP
stituted the compensation pledged to
L. F. Loree when he left the presi-
dency Of the Baltimore & Ohio road
to join the Rock Island forces. He
held the new places ten months in
1904 and then was asked by Daniel G.
Reid to resign,
Complying, he received in settle
ment of his agreement with Mr.. Leeds
n $450,00O in Rock Island railway bonds.
4 Mr.. Loree testified to this effect on
FRIDAY at the interstate commerce
commissions investigation of the
Rock Islands financial affairs during
the Reid-Leeds-Moore control from
1901 to 1914
Criticizing payment to c. H. Venner
of s250,000, J. W. Folk, counsel for the
commission, brought out the fact that
Rock Island people did not like this
transaction. r. A. Jackson, then gen.
eral counsel for the Rock Island, sent
this telegram to Robert Mather, presi-
dent:
United States circuit court at
Springfield, H., has just committed
Venner to jail for six months and fined
him $1,000"
Mr. Mather sent this answer to
Jackson: Message received. Couldn't
we intervene ana ask the court to
send Jim Ham with him?"
James Hamilton Lewis, now United

for Venner in his suit against the
Rock Island.
Another witness was Mr.. Reid him
self, who defended the big salaries
paid to Rock Island officials, declared
that he would not now accept as a
gift the control of any western OF
southwestern railroad and that when
he and his associates took over the
Rock Island it had a surplus" OF
S8,0O0O0O, but no railroad" being
merely a streak of rust" He said
also a man capable of operating an
S,000-mile railway was worth $1,000,
600 a year.
The commerce commission itself
was held responsible for the financial
troubles of the Rock Island railroad
by Mr.. Reid, who contended the trouble
was not caused by the taking over
Of bad securities or by payment OF
heavy salaries and bills, but by the
rulings of the commission, which pre-
vented advances in rates to NEE
higher wages and costs of improve
ments.
r. A. Jackson, general counsel fol
the Rock Island from 1902 to 1910, also
told the commission he had been asked
to resign by Mr.. Reid and had NJ
knowledge of why. While he had NJ
agreement, he had received 100000
c. H. Warren, assistant to Presiden
Leeds in 1924, said he had been in
duced to go to the Rock Island under
an agreement that he receive stool
worth a minimum of $150,O00 at tn,
end of two years. When he left tn,
company because the situation be
came unsatisfactory" he was giveI
$4,000 cash and New Jersey holdinj
company stock having a face value o
$2O5,O0O.
Mr.. Reid said what the railroad
needed was more rates, more tariff
and less legislation"
