they would be protected.
Mr.. Barnes told him, Colonel Roose-

unless they were protected they would
not make contributions to the party

Colonel Roosevelt was called to the

He made this statement to news

"A receivership was the only alter
native we had in the circumstances.
Under it we probably will spend more
money on the road than we did in the
previous six months.

The Rock Island Is the largest rail-
road ever placed in the hands of re-

similar predicament.
"The real. underlying trouble with
our road Is the same as with all other
roads, and they will all in time find
themselves In our fix II this funda-
mental trouble is not eliminated. That
trouble Is the governments attitude
toward railroads; we must have higher
rates and lower costs.
"The immediate cause Of the receiv-
ership was the maturity Of obligations

which the road could not pay. Among
these was a bill for $4,000 due the
