ROCK ISLAND DIRECTORS OUT.
r. VI. schumacher Tells Reasons
for Three Resignations.

r. NJ. Schumacher. chairman OF the
board Of directors of the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific Railway Company.
has resigned from the board. Tn resig-
nations OF Mr.. Schumacher, Arthur Cur
tiss James and James Mclean. repre-
senting the Phelps-Dodge interests, were
rendered on June ls. about two months
after the receivership, Mr.. Schu-
macher explained yesterday the reasons
for the three designations.
"When the Rock Island was placed In
reccivership.' he said, I'VE felt that any
remaining interest we nae in the COM
pany up to hat time had ended. Pre-
vious TO the receivership the Rock Island
Company of New Jersey had become
rothing but a she'll when the bordhold-
ers of the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific Railway Company became the
real owners OF the operating company.
This wiped out our investment In the
first holding company.
I'm view of these circumstance we
feht IL our duty 10 sever our connection
with a road In which we nc longer had a
direct interest. We resigned as dircc-
tors In the hope that the stockholding
interests. the real owners OF the Rock
Island, will be chosen In our places. We
didn't want to keep such men of the
board. We resigned before the annual
meeting to be held October II. when our
terms expire, in order to max ii clear
that we did not want 10 come up for
reelection"
1t was stated on behalf Of The Phelps
Dodge interests that the Withdrawals
did not necessarily mean that they
would remain out of participation in
the reorganization. Such participation
would depend on their satisfaction with
the nature of the plan.

BIG WABASH ASSESSMENT.
Levy ON Bondholders 10 He $685.
for Each $1,000 Bond.

A statement by the joint r%eorganiza-
ton committee OF the Wabash Railroad
yesterday showed that the refunding 4
per cent. bondholders OF the ompany
will be required to pay 96 per cent, of
the assessment in reorganization. The
stockholders to whom the privilege of
paying the assessment in return for new
securities vas offered have subscribed
only to the extent OF ~ per cent. OF the
amount of stock outstanding. There Is
required in reorganization s27.720.000
in new cash. The assessment upon
the bondholders will thus he ss5+.s2 for
zach $1,000 bond. Ninety-six per cent.
OF the stockholders have surrendered
their right to participate and will be
wiped out.
II Is expected that the largest part
OF the bondholders will pay the assess
ment and participate. Those who do
not will be wiped out, The plan has
been underwrltten so hat assessments
not paid by the bondholders will he
financed. The time has been ex-
tended by the committee to October s
within which further deposits OF the
bonds must be made. At that time 10
per cent. Of the assessment must be
paid. the balance to be paid on or be-
fore anuary s, 1915.

EFT OF the British Treasury. The French
representatives, are Octave Homberg Of
the Foreign Office. and Ernest Mallet,

IT Is believed in high banking circles
here that the plan of discussion among
the bankers will be a statement by the
BRUSH and French OF their estimate of
the amount of their obligations to this
country. Will proposals OF how these
are to be flnancied. The Americans will
then state their ideas OF the extent to
winch they will be able TO arrange the
various financing proposed.
instead OF one big piece OF financing.
such as the fotation OF a big British
treasury note issue here, IL was learned
on good authority yesterday that the
method of meeting the situation will
probably be a combination OF about four
devices. These may include an accent
ance credit. further sales OF American
securities and imports Of gold. a credit
based on American securities and a loan
on British treasury notes.
The market for sterling yesterday was
uncertain. with early prices low. followed
by an advance, a slight setback due to

Atp,Ny. Sept. S.-The new Constitu-
,,ar with the amendments and revisions

Tomorrow night. The committee on re-
vision. of which Adolph j. Rodenbeck OF
Rochestcr Is chairman, worked ~ u"S
,o-doy arranging the changes ana pre-
narinp n draft Of the new organic law
for submission to the Convention.
At the same time Mr.. Wickcrshams
committee. which Is preparing an ad-
dress to the people setting torth tne
meaning OF the changes made ny inc
Constitutional Convention, was nara at
work. Two tentative drafts of this ad-
dress will be completed by tomorrow
and the committee at that time
viii bc ready 10 adopt one or the other.
The failure Of one OF the Brooklyn
members to attend the sessions OF the
committee on submission of amendments,
Of which Herbert Parsons Is chairman,
caused thai committee TO defer the de-
termination of what amendments ~
be submitted separately. 1t was prac-
ti.al,y agreed. however, after an all dhN
session that the taxation article ana the
apportioument plan would be submitted
separately.
The taxation article provides for as
sessmcut of personal property by tht
state Tax Commission and ihe farmers
fear that their implements and cattle
would be taxed. The apportionmen'
amendment, II is feared, will meet viii
stout opposition In some quarters, hicl
accounts for the disposition to put II
b, fore the people apart from the Other
amendments which are. to be submittec
en- bloc.
/, was also suggested tonight that
the platform of the Republican conven
ton at Saratoga last year called for Il.
separate submission. Other amendments
which II has been suggested hould b,
submitted separately are the home rule
and short ballot plans. but the commit
tee did not take up these to-day.

A Precious Spark

| Vitality is an inherent urgency
which drives a man to performance;
something without him beckons or
drives, and he responds, and In rare
minds the essence Of that response is
genius.
Without vitality the best trained
mind is a dull tool, laundering and
bluffing In an emergency, and
wanting a capacity to discern some
element in the great trilogy-time,
place and power.
| Work is the measure of vitality.
After all, a man is what he does.
And what he does Is his work, or
should be. The world has not time
to explore the mind for good intent
ions. Instlnctively 1t knows that If
the intentions are fighting good they
will demand an expression In be-
Ehavior, and get 1t. And the power
that thrusts them out OF man into
the world OF usefulness is his vitality.
Tits manifestations are various.
For years some men behave like
perambulating apologies, walking ina
Irut with their eyes downcast and
stunning contact with society, Then
suddenly the pent up vitality within
them asserts itself with amazing
success, and the world says they are
lucky.
In Others vitality is a small hot
fame that burns steadily and uni
formly. They are the great average
From observing their actions wise
men make proverbs and deduce hui
man tendencies.
And still third class dissipates It's
vitality. 1t is TO this class that civil
ization owes poverty, which, second
only to war, is its great sin. This
class is unfortunate. but hardly less
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1915-04-23

so than the smaller class which Ia
tormented with an excess of vitality.
1t is said OF great railroad presi-
dent that he could not wait for an
elevator. If none was ready to re-
ceive him he ran up the eight flight
of stairs to his office. In his early
forties he died a nervous wreck
Compared to his morbid propensity
there is something envlabe in the
lot of the man who is fit for nothing
but TO lie In the shade and wish it
were meal time.
But In moderation vitality is a
precious spark, to be fed and en-
ployed with discretion. 1t gains
power with time and exercise, and it
is never more generous with its re-
wards than near lfe's close, when
activity is memory, and life is more
vest erday than tomorrow. Daily Ok
