NUDGE GETS Cash
Court OyerruleS Attack Made
by Samuel Untermyer.
Lets Rock Island Receivers
Issue S2,1OO,OOO Certificates.

Chicago. June 29.-Judge Carpenter,
in the United States district court, late
yesterday authorized the issuance by
receivers for the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railway company of $780,
600 > per cent receivers certificates to
take care of interest due July on GER
tain underlying bonds.
Attorney Samuel Untermyer. repre-
Senting the AmSter committee, OPP
posed the issuance all day, but in the
end profesSed himself satisfied with
proviso written into the order to
the effect that none of the proceeds
should be used to pay interest on
other obligations unless the court was
satisfied that the earnings of the road
were equal to the burden and legally
could be so applied.
The burden of Mr.. Untermyer's con-
tention was that the Reid-Moore group
of financiers are seeking to minimize
the earning power of the road. which,
he said, was never better, with the
ultimate purpose of buying in a rich
property at a bargain.
'As matter of fact, the road is
earning 100000 a year over and
above all fixed charges and this in
spite of the unheard of maintenance
charges" said Mr.. Untermyer.
Judge Carpenter, by frequent COM
ments, made it plain that he believed
the road needs the money applied for.

He has sent to a sanitarium in Cen

who will become employees if their

Among the five men are two NOR

They were selected because they re.'-

If the five men are cured or even

of alcoholics and drug users. He will
then make effort to regenerate this
