Question Of Prudence.

obviously a man OF large affairs
could not att.n nd TO all the details in in
trlcate transactions. but IL is i~ncOnceiv-
able that a director OF ordinary business
prudence and ~sagacity would sanction
Quiry as TO the purposes OF such dis
burSements. So long as this situation
exists, however, II suggests the need OF a
law TO charge such directors with in
dlvidual responsibility for the dissipation
Of corporate funds
The Clayton antitrust act. which
becomes effective October Is, 1915. will
make II unlawful for any person at the
same time 10 be a director in two or
more competing corporations, any one Of
which has a capital, surplus or I'M
divided profits a~ggregating more than
sl,oo",ooo. but common carriers are ex-
pressly exempted from its application
II should be just as grave an offence for
an official OF q railway to be faithless
to his trust for financial gain as il IS
for an elected official Of the Government
TO bstray his trust for money reward
BY This case the reed OF some llmi-
tatlons 60 the ISSUANCE OF stocks and
bonds by common carriers, whether di-
rect.y or through holding de-
vices or otherwise, is again demon

1t is a forceful commentary OF the
methods by which a great railway may
b. manipulated into a receiver ship when
IL is noted that the general counsel, after
drawing the bin for a receivership, sold
his stock and the local counsel. who rep
resented the railway company in the re-
ownership proceedings. owned no stock in
the railway company and that none OF
those directly participating in the re-
ownership proceedings had IN financial
Interest In the railway company.
'The real owners Of the railway. the
stockholders. the security holders and
the directors. except those composing the
syndicate and in its confidence, were in
ignorance OF the receivership applica-
tion. Mr.. Nudge. former president OF
the railway company. is one OF the
receivers.
The general counsel for the railway
company, who planned the receiyersh.p
ir obedience TO the will Of the syndicate.
Is now counsel for the receivers.
The property OF the railway company
will be called upon for many years 20
make up the drain upon lis esource re-
sulting from transactions outside the
proper sphere in which the stockholders
had a right TO suppose their money
were invested.
This record emphasizes the need
or railway directors VINO actually
direct. There are too many pas
sive directors who acquiesce IN what
is being dom without knowledge and
without investigation. A director OF a
railway is a a~uasi-public official who
occupies a position OF trust. A director
who submits blind!y 70 the exploitation
OF his company Is a party TO its undoing
and he should be held responsible to the
same extent as II he had been a princi-
pal instead OF an accessory before the
fact. The greater his prominence the
greater his responsibility and the greater
his dereliction.

Could Have Paid Debt.

The testimony clearly establishes the
fact that the railway company could
easily have paid the debt of $4,000
upon which the reccivership application
was based and that arrangements prob
ably could have been mad to meet all
pressing obligations Of the railway
company.
"Th creditor at whose instance the
receivership application was filed APP
peared as complainant by request. r.
y. Lamont. the president Of the Ameri-
can Steel F~oundries. the complainant.
testified hat he would not nave thought
Of bringing such n proceeding against
the railway company unless he a I'M
derstood that il would be regarded as
not u~nfriendly. but as n friendly act to
oblige the railway company.
"He only consented that his company
should appear as complainant when he
assured that this course was in ac-
cordance with the wishes OF the railway
company n that his company was not
to have any care or expense In the prep
aration of papers or payment OF coun-
sci fees. The suit was not a bona fide
proceeding to collect a debt. but was in
stituted to carry out the purposes and
schemes Of the syndicate controlling the
railway.
IN. L. Amster. who was elected to the
board Of directors of the railway COM
pany by the minority stockholders at
the stockholders meeting held in Chi
cago April IL. 1915. believing. accord
ing to his testimony. that no sincere
effort was being made by other MEM
bers Of the board to finance the obliga-
tons of the railway, undertook to assist
in raising about $4,000. 900 needed by
the railway to meet obligations soon
thereafter to mature.

Could Have Got Loan.

ION April le. 1915. he met and con-
ferred with Messrs. James. Mclean and
Schumacher. all directors of the railway
and members OF the executive COM
mittee. and discussed the company's
finances. These three expressed approval
OF his purpose to negotiate for the
e Amster testified hat he had
50 curel assurance for the furnishing
OF TIE money from responsible Boston
bankers on securities which the railway
company had.
When he arrived In New York on the
morning OF April 30 to report this fact
pany and. quoting his testimony, could
not FIND anybody there that would say
anything. except a lot Of people moving
back and forth. I left the Office and
found on the ticker that the Rock Island
had been put in the hands of a receiver.
This. Amster testified. was the first
information he had OF the receivership
or that such a step was in preparation,
yet he was a director OF the road and
after the stockholders meeting in Chi
cage April IL travelled from Chicago
TO New YORK with Robert Walker. the
general counsel Of the railway company.
1T will be remembered that the bill
was completed by the general counsel on
March 90. this fact being known only to
a special few. The bill was filed April
20. The records OF the New York stock
market reveal hat the railway stock
was inactive until the day this bill was
completed. March 30. Then the stock
began to be largely dealt in and the
price increased from $50 to sac a share.
When the bill was filed and receivers
were appointed the stock dropped from
$50 to $50 a share.

MYSTERIOUS FIRES 81
An Investigation Has Been Started by
the State Fire Marshal.

Investigations are being conducted
into the origin of 81 questionable fires
in Kansas during the last four months
A probe of several fires has been
launched by. the state fire marshal
office and since the appointment or
L. T. Hussey, state fire marshal, re-
ports have been received concerning
81 fires supposed to have been of in
cendiary origin.
In the last few weeks reports from
Wyandotte county have indicated
total of ten possible incendiary fires
The other fires have occurred in var1-
Gus parts of the state. Individual
losses in fires where incendiarism was
suspected, ranged from $50 to 81 5000
Investigation of most of the cases fol-
lowed the finding of coal oil or other
combustibles in buildings where the
fire originated
Much difficulty has been encounter
ed in fighting the alleged organized
gang of fire bugs in Kansas. In few
rare cases, convictions have been Sc
cured. But since the creation of the
state fire marshaPs department, less
than a half dozen actual convictions
have been secured. Other persons
sent to prison on arson charges, en-
tered pleas of guilty or confessed when
examined in a court of inQuiSitiOn.

DIR. Jeffrey Receives Thanks of Dope
Patient He Treated.

The satisfaction of work we'll done

when he received a letter thanking
him for having cured a person of a
drug habit.
Il have not touched a drop of any
kind of dope since 1 left you. 1 feel
like a new person and have no desire
for drugs" wrote the grateful person.
When the Harrison drug act went
into operation DR.. Jeffrey rendered his
service to the city to treat victims of
habit-fOrming drugs. The writer of
the letter expressing gratitude was
one of the city's patients.

new BRIDGE over KAW
Lawrence to Have Steel and Concrete
Structure Costing $25O,OOO.

Douglas county and the city of Law
renee will be permitted to build new
quarter of a million dollar steel and
concrete bridge across the Kaw river
at Lawrence, according to ruling to-
day by S. NJ. Hawkes., attorney gen
eral. The new bridge will be built in
the next IL months and will be the
largest concrete and steel bridge in
the state.
Estimates concerning the cost of the
new structure, indicate that an eXpen-
diture of nearly $250,000 will be nee
essary. There was a doubt as to the
legal right of the county and city to
join in the voting of a special bridge
levy. An opinion by Judge Hawkes. to
]. S. Amick, county attorney of Doug
las county, states that the bridge may
be built. A total levy providing for
not more than 100000 may be voted.
This levy carried in a recent bridge
election.
AS the 100000 will not be sufficient
to complete the bridge, contributions
will be made by the Santa Fe and the
new Helm interurban railway. The
Helm line will use the new bridge
while Santa Fe tracks will pass under
the structure. Expense of the new
Lawrence bridge will be nearly double
that of the Melan bridge in Topeka.
The Topeka bridge cost about $125,-
900 in addition to a $4,000 royalty for
patent rights
