Report Merger Os Railroads' (Continued from Page Ono) So Van Sweringen decided to build! his own rapid transit line. He figured j he might save time and money by acquiring the use of a railroad right, of- - into the city. The Nickel Plate! seemed the best, but its management I wouldn't make terms. So Van Sweringen purchased control of the road ■ and its 513 miles of track at a cost [ of |5,500,000. Van. Sweringen testified before the interstate commerce commission '.hat his original plan was for a terminal station for his own rapid transit line. But the project gradually grew, one [ road after anoth-T becoming interested in it. until it assumed the form of a proposition involving at least 150,000,000. Is A Go-Getter. Van Sweringen is of the go-getter type. If obstacles are strewn in his path he fights all the harder. \’an Sweringen visions a thing and tli ui plods on with that, tiling upper most in his mind until he achieves it. He is of medium build, with dark curling hair. He talks in a quiet, wellmodulated voice. He is shy and shuns personal publicity. His chief characteristic is his persuasiveness. It has been said of him that he could • .-ike the most improbable of engineer-1 Ing problems and make it appear entirely plauslbl- . He never permits himself to get ''riled.'' Nothing seems shat ) enough ' :<• cause him to discard his smile ir, raise his voice. Throughout, his broth-r vlanti- .1 Van Sweringen, has stood and fought, boulder to shoulder with him. But •). P.” is the man the public know s, the man with whom the public deals. The next few years will tell whethe - or not the name of Van Sweringen vlll come to rank as high in railroad history as the name of Harriman or Hill. - —o Farm Bureau Aids .Farmer In Marketing (Continued from Page One) t st supervision of the farm bureau .-•nd are made up of salaried men who c in be released whenever their services are unsatisfactory. The profits cf the firms are pro-rated back to the tipper members at the end of the year. The farmers commission firm Indianapolis lias handled almost ; -fourth of the stock which has . me into that market since its establishment last- summer. During the hist few weeks it had handled over •vi« • as much stock as its nearest old-, ■ '.no competitor. Other houses have it estaUished in Buffalo, Chicago Omaha and Kansas City. Reports >m local associations arc* to the es- ■ t that excellent service is being reived. It is apparent that the better upport the farmers give their own •' rms the greater volume of business ill be handled which naturally will increase dividends paid each year. TWO TRAINMEN KILLED Charleston. W. a.. Dec. 6.

No Hope Held For Rise Os The Mark lierliic.— tim-rieans in the United Slates are storming their friends and r: latives in G< rmany w ith requests for information with regard to the disposition of their marks. The great brotherhood of “sack (holders” seek away out. Millions of dollars were invested in German marks by Americans at prices which, though at the time of invest mint c omparatively low, have entailer! practically total loss to the American speculators. Americans who bought 1,0,000 marks, for example, at i x cents each at a total of $4,800, find their marks today worth less than $lO. Americans in Germany are at a loss what to answer their friends at home. .Vo' rely in Germany or anywhere else knows what the mark will do. Every cuort seems to have been undertaken it:; stabilize the mark —so tar without s’ .-nil. The mark drops by hundreds end thousands to the dollar every clay. ( ertuans themselves refuse to keep t ioir Imirk. -they change them into dollars, pounds, and into merchandise'. th naan bankers when asked their c iiinion regarding tlw*. future of the t. ark. shake their heads and point out what it hare been doing for the year or so, that efforts of commitaes, ceniniis ic'i s. government ex||.vrts, decrees against speculation, etc.. have not even for the moment : 1 likened the; downward rush. An they so-' no reason why the mark | ;.:il I. ■ stabilized unless something ex ! inordinary is, done. They further that should the mark become ■trilile at the present rate, or ovett at a. little- better rate, it will have little value to the' speculative 1 Am rieans. The l American who got rid of his marks several months ago at a small loss was apparently the winner. The nlliers have, to all intents and puririses, lost their entire investment. I Ten thousand marks bought by an American at SIOO a little more than a , ar ago are worth a little more than dollar today. The German government is turning i. I an average of about 40,000,000,000 pape r mark.-, a week. The re is no additional gold reserve behind this stu pendous issue, to make the money valuable. Unless the unexpected happens, it appears to all observers in Germany that the American who put his dollars in the high priced marks before the disastrous crash is simply "out of luck.” The American in Germany has no suggestions to offer. + 4 4 4 4 4- 4 4 4 < •5* 4 4 4 4 i ❖ SPORT TABS 4 ■4- 4 4 4 4 4 4 4* 4 4 4 4 New York—The first casualties of the six day bicycle race t Madison Square Garden occurred last night during the 9:30 o’clock sprints when McNamara and Lorenz collided and spilled, five of the other contestants in a heap at the bottom of the track.
