Republic Steel Official
Fears War, New Deal
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, April 12.-Amer-
lca's major foreign customers ARE
literally burning up their purchasing
power" in the European conflict, said
Vice President Donald B. Gillies of
Republic Steel Corp. last night.
Temporarily, some lines of Amer
lean industry are experiencing sud-
den and abnormal demand" said Mr.
Gillies in an address prepared for
an annual conference of the Society
for the Advancement of Manage
ment.
Theoretically, the United States
may secure foreign customers who,
because of the war, cannot get sup
plies from Europe, but in practice
this does not seem to be working
out. 1t means rush business in some
lines today and a possible enormous
letdown tomorrow
Mr. Gillies termed the war and the
possibility of another four years" of
the New Deal clouds on Americas
business horizon
He asserted that business in the
good old days" was not criticized,
investigated. prosecuted or held up
for trial before the public" He said:
Nevertheless, when you add up
all the pluses and minuses and
strike balance, the net result is
still progress"

Rock Island Expects Net
OF 100000 in 1910
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 11.-An extra
81 100000 popped into the earnings
picture of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad today.
Trustees reported to Federal Judge
James H. Wilkerson that conserv-
ative estimate of prospective earn
ings for 1910 indicated there would
be about $l,OO0O00 available over
and above estimated expenditures.
They attributed it to improved
business conditions and improved
operating income.
The hearing which brought the
disclosure was on demand by
holders of Choctaw e. Memphis
Railroad Co. first mortgage bonds
and Choctaw. Oklahoma &, Gulf
Railroad consolidated mortgage
bonds for payment of interest for
the period of July /, 1884, to Janu-
ary /, 1910.
Previously the Rock Island trus-
tees had said there were insufficient
funds to pay this interest. In an
amended answer today, they made
no recommendation for disposition
of the extra sl,0OO,O00 except to
suggest that whatever disbursement
the court might order be handled in
installments over period of one
year
Judge Wilkerson, who has juris-
diction over the Rock Islands reor-
ganization, took the matter under
advisement, advising the parties to
file any further memoranda by

Washington municipal links cham
pion.
Tall, drawing Leroy Smith, Labor
Department employe and new city
champion, succeeding Andrew Oil

stampeding rain on the 18th tee at

final match between Smith and
Dick Jennings, Capitol employe,
had been halted hours earlier at
the 18th green by a roaring rain
storm. At that point it was even.
So when the rain slackened around
mid-afternoon, they went out again,
by car, to resume where they'd left
of earlier.
Gets Three Hard Pars.
Hardly had they left the car when
the rain started again. Few people

those tough holes through the rain

won all three holes and ended the
first half of the scheduled 36-hole

They started out again, still in the

to his lead by the 9th. That's the
way it finished. They halved the
next six holes and Smith won by
4 and 8. But he was keener to win
