When managed by railroad men as
a railroad, and for railroad purposes
only, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cifc was one Of the most profitable
in the United States. When it came
to be used as a mere tool in the
bands of professional p~romotersS
consolidators and spectators it be-
gan to run down as rapidly CONNER
cially and physically as morally. To-
day it is simply another object lesson
in violated trust, the mere shadow of
the towering and substntia l monu-
ment to Western energy, enterprise
and integrity that it was in an earlier
period. One of the prominent offic-
ials of the road is disposed to lay.
the blame for its present condition
on government supervision. He is
right, but in a way quite the reverse
of his reasoning. It is from TOO lit
tie rather than too much governs
mental supervision that properties
like the Rock Island have suffered
and are suffering. The Rock Island
comes very near establishing, to the
satisfaction Of a reluctant public, the
failure of halfway measures in deal

"BOBn MITCHELL
New Developments May Stop Hurler
From Going to the Columbia

CLINTON, Iowa, March 15.-That
Bob" Mitchell is the property Of the
Clinton Baseball association is the
contention of its officers. On receiv-
ing advices yesterday from various
baseball authorities, they rendered
Mitchell a contract,
Mitchell has signed a contract with
the Columbia, 8. c., team. He is
awaiting advance money from that
team promised him for signing. The
new development may stop his going
there.
Mitchell was sold to Seattle by
Hough last fall According to the un-
derstanding here it was an optional
sale When Seattle failed to exercise
it's option the local officials believe
Mitchell automatically reverts 10
tClinton. If their understanding is the
correct one, the Columbia team would
have to purchase Mitchell's release
from Clinton before they could sign
him.
II the local officials have the right
dope" and can hold Mitchell, it will
mean one of two things, either that
Clinton will gain valuable pitcher Or
! that it will make some money on his
sale to the Columbia team.
