Steps Taken To Dissolve Katy
Receivership, at st. Louis.
Holders of Roads Bonds and
Securities Make the Move.
G. & A. BEHIND new MOVE?
Consolidation With That Road
Looked for as Next Step.
When First RumOr Started, 1t
Was Reported Merger Coming.

st. Louis, June 2S.-A decree look
ing toward a dissolution of the re-
ownership of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas Railway company, was filed in
federal court here today, by holders of
the roads bonds and mortgages and
other interested parties.
The decree was filed before United
States Circuit Judge Sanborn. The
only objection to the decree was made
by the counsel for the Kansas City
Terminal Railroad association and its
nine constituent railroads excepting
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas, and
the court heard the legal phases of this
objection at once.
One Objection to Decree.
The objection was not to the entry
of the decree as a whole, but to one
provision of 1.-THE plan for the with
Texas from the use of the Kansas City
union station and establishment of its
own separate station.
The decree held that the best inter
ests of the road and its creditors could
be served by dissolving the receiver
ship and selling the assets. 1t pointed
out, however, that operation under
the receiver has been successful
Definite reorganization plans be-
came known in the latter part of last
year.
Belief was expressed that the finan
cial interests now controlling the road
would bid II IN at an auction sale un-
der a special master.
Means a Merger?
The decree asks that the sale be in
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas station
at Colbert, Okla.
Reorganization plans contemplated
considerable reduction of the fixed
interest bearing debt of the railroad
and repla cement of old issues of stocks
and bonds with new issues, as well
as assessments of $40 a share on the
old preferred and S25 a share on old
common stock, to provide $1S,420,UUe
cash for reorganization purposes.
When it was announced a few
weeks ago that action would soon be
taken to end the Katy receivership, it
was reported to be a step toward the
consolidation of that company with
the Chicago & Alton into one big sys-
tenn serving a wide territory between
Chicago and the Gulf of Mexico.
The fact that the Katy had given
notice of its withdrawal from the
Kansas City union station furnished
additional food to the report mas
much as it was pointed out that the
Katy could continue to use the station
as a part of the Chicago & Alton.

This motif is simple, yet pro-

porous looking farmers.Gnd for a few
days went to the places of farmers
near Bethel and Monticello against
whom complaints had been made.
There they represented themselves as
men looking for property to buy. The
places were not for sale, but the up
shot of the agricultural and kindred
conversation they struck UP was the
seizure of numerous stills.
One day carly in their career as a
teaIn IzzY and Moe ahGhted from an
auto in front of a'saloon in upper
Broadway They sauntcred in and
walked to the back OF the bar near
the proprietors desk.
"Wn don't sell whisky" was the
sharp reply.
"All right, give us beer" was Izzy's
reply.
They got their beer and they had no
sooner consumed it than they were
told they might have whisky-the in
heritance of the meek.
i'It takes a little flnesse," Izzy ad-
rnittcd, in recounting the incidents of
his exciting year or more of prohibi-
tion work. "The main thing, 1t seems
to me. is that you have to be natural.
The hardest thing an agent has to do
is to really act as IL he wanted and
needed 4 drink. That doesn't mean
you can walk in with the stock excuse
of q toothache. They've got stung on
that story so many times 4 man could
roll over and die of it on the saloon
floor and never get drop. v
But maybe I'd better not tell you
exactly how it's done-it's dangerous
information these days"

the boss and gradually nosed their
way about. They found the still be-
fore they got their jobs.
And just to show his range, lzzy
walked into the Yorkville Casino with
q trombone under his arm. The false
front shirt Ascot tie and other infal-
lible markings of the orchestra musl-
clan were upon him. He could play
the trombone, too, just as on similar
occasion in Brooklyn he utilized a
violin to win over the restaurant man
agement. A good fellow. in each in
stance the charm of his music brought
proffers of drinks, which. he accepted,
and then displayed his gratitude by
distributing summonses.
Another day found him pushing
fruit cart in the Bronx. His equip
ment was real. There was nothing
stacy about it. The soft felt hat, the
bandanna, the corduroy trousers, all
blended with the rickcty two-wheeied
vehicle to convince the two score sa-
lconkeepcrs upon whom he called in
one day that he was the genuine fruit
peddler. AS so marked with other
selling ruses OF Izzy's, his fruit was
good and the price was chcap-not too
cheap, because that would excite Sus-
picion. The exceptional bargains he
offered in his rounds Of the combina-
ton saloon and lunch counter places
made him welcome and at the oppor-
tune moment in each transaction the
request for q return favor was made.
In each case where it was granted
there was an arrest.
Izzy can drive 4 truck as well rs he
can guide a push cart. And trucks
bear a definite relation to bootlegging.
The average truck driver knows
enough about the Illicit liqucr trade to
hang many men. Ergo, lZzy mastered

Gus to recount he has in his capacity

his unsuspccting employers booze
straight to q government warehouse.
And not only the immediate load, but
all the rest Of the supply from which
it came. The avenues for learning
the liquor traffic's route are limitless
for the truck driver, and the evidence
gained on any one such sally is suffi-
cient TO last an agent of Einstcin's
cs.liber many q day.
During the strike of milk wagon
drivers Izzy went into Fast Yorkville.
In the excitement he was accepted
without question as one of the
strikers. Around the starting places

and the strike period found them
flourishng SO one day Izzy and
some of his new found friends walk
ed into bar.
"We're celebrating the expected vic
tory of the strike" Izzy told the man

"A fine way to celebrate" replied
