Washington, Aug. 12.-The Railroad

es were that many Of the great rail

that railroads illegally hold millions Of

that built up a great surplus before

retson said.
There could be no real test as to
government operation so long as the

Only recently, two boys, residing
in the west end of Rock Island,
found themselves in a serious pre-
dicament, and only their promise to
behave in the future saved them
from being turned over to the 20

One of the boys was caught in
