FACE FINANCIAL CRISIS
creston- N aeksburs Railroad Officials
ASK Advice of Court-Has Been in
Operation Only Two Years But
Finds Income Too Small.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 12.--Altho it has
only been in operation about two years,
the railroad from Creston to Macks-
burg is having financial difficulties,
according to testimony presented at
hearing before Judge Fahey at Perry
yesterday. Representatives Of the
road declared the income Is not sutfi-
Gent to pay the upkeep of the road
and asked the advice of the court as to
what to do.
Assistant Commerce Counsel Dwight
Lewis attended the hearing. 1t Is
hoped to raise some money to finance
the road. Originally 1t was the IN
tention to build the road thru from
Creston to Des Mones via Winterset.
Local capital built the road as far
as Macksburg about two years ago and
it has not been extended as yet be-
yond that point. 1t was built to give
railroad service to a territory that had
no railroad. 1t has been n disappoint-
ment not to have been able to have eN-
tended the road farther than Macks-
burg and it has also been a disap-
pointment that the road has not had
AloIc puSlhSoS-
From the experiences of the small
railroads as recited to the state rail-
road commission from time to time it
is evident tfat it is a hard matter to
make them pay. The expense of
building and equipping u railroad now
is very heavy. If the road runs thru
a territory which has only small towns
with no large cities on the line the
amount Of business possible to the
road is necessarily small Tie small
road is always in competition with
the larger trunk lines when 1t comes
to shipments of stock and grain for
the live agents~of tneAe big roads are
after business for thei9 roads all Of the
time and can usually loffer advantages
over the smaller reads in the way Of
faster time, fewer delays In transit.
and better equipment for handling the
stock And with the small roads the
shipments of stock and grain are most
important factors.
Reports now being made to the
state executive council by interurban
lines show that these lines are usually
prosperous. Their operating expenses
are not so high as steam roads and as
a rule they run between fairly popu-
lous cities and towns.

 SLOWLY, RIKER TELLS CORONER
Official Gives Him 24 Hours to Get Witnesses to Prove
 Statement.

A. l.. Riker. Jr.. this mofning was given "A hours by Coroner John J. Phelan to procure outside testimony that his car was going only 15 miles an hour when it struck and fatally in- tured Frank Schirmmer at Brewste, street and Fairfield avenue, Sept .23. The young motorist is the son of A. l.. Riker of Fairfield, vice presi- dent and manager of the Locomobile Go. and a member of the U. s. Naval Advisory Board.
 At the hearing this morning young Riker said his car was going only 15 miles an -four when the man was struck. He declared he saw Schirmmer crossing the street. He sounded the horn and Schirmmer ap- parently heard 1t for he quickened his pace and tried to get across the street in front of the car. As soon as he saw this, Riker says, he put on the brake. This caused the machine to swerve considerably and Schirmmer was carriSd about 25 feet after he was struck. Riker admitted he had no drivers license but said he gener. ally had a chauffeur with him.
 Glover Jennings, passenger in the car, said the machine was not going more than 25 miles an hour before Schirmmer was seen and then Riker slowed down to 1 5 miles.
