Illinois Central System Is Encouraged to See Business Men Stand Up for Railroads The Illinois Central System is pleased to note the unanimity with which the business men of the country are rallying to the defense of the nation's system of railway transportation. Typical of this authoritative and unbiased support of sound public policy is the following extract from a resolution adopted January 29, 1924, by the New Orleans Association of Commerce and sent to the,United States senators and representatives in Congress from Louisiana: “In the opinion of the New Orleans Association of Commerce it is unwise and unnecessary for Congress at this time to undertake by direct action to reduce substantially the revenues of the railroads—because of these among other considerations: A “The Interstate Commerce Commission, an impartial governmental body, already has full power to fix what shall he considered a fair return to the railroads upon the value of their property, to fix this value and to fix all railway rates, and it is equipped to make such adjustments in rates as may he proper. “The Transportation Act, whose definite policy of rate-making revived confidence in railway securities, has enabled the railroads to borrow more readily sums of private capital for improvements in both equipment and roadway. These have made possible the recent record-breaking achievements of the railroads in service and are responsible in great measure for the country’s increased business. “To reverse our railway policy now would be to frighten off capital, stop improvements, unsettle business conditions and work a public injury with no corresponding benefit, since, as stated, the public is already protected by the laws which give the Interstate Commerce Commission full control of this subject.’’ The more that the public in general realizes its direct and indirect financial interest in a settled, forward-looking policy of railway regulation, the nearer will this country come to having a railway plant that will expand and increase its efficiency in keeping -with the development of the country. We cannot afford to stand still, much less go backward, in our treatment of the railroads. It is encouraging to note how business men and the country in general are showing increased interest in railway affairs. Since both efficient railway service and the great investment in this and other railroads are at stake, we believe that our patrons would feel that we were neglectful of our duty if we did not seek in every proper way to enlist public interest in the future of the railroads. For this reason w e quote and indorse the resolution sponsored by the New Orleans Association of Commerce. i • Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.

SOME CONCERN IS NOW FELI OVER JACK’S CONDITION Hospital Authorities Say Champion Must Remain in Bed for While, By HENRY L. FARRELL ! NEW YORK. March 1. —Jack Dempsey is knocked off his feet for the first time since Firpo put him through the ropes. And precautions taken by attendants to close up all news sources caused reports today that the champion’s future was endangered as a result* of complications which followed a recent operation. “Mr. Dempsey is resting easily and his condition is satisfactory,” was all hospital attendants would say this morning. The same reports have been issued from the hospital since Dempsey went on the table for what was I said to have been a minor operation. It was explained that “Mr. DerapI sey is a private patient and we are not at liberty to discuss details about private cases.” Before going to the hospital. Dempsey said he had been bothered for some time with a fistula, and that he had been advised that an operation would be necessary to get permanent relief. It was intimated at the hospital that Dempsey was not permitted to see friends, not because he had suffered a relapse from complications, but for the purpose of preventing him of having any such relapse. Reports that the real cause for the operation had been disguised and that the champion's incapacity was more serious than had been announced were in general circulation here today. Stories that Dempsey might have to retire from the ring were considered as exaggerated, however. It was said at the hospital this morning the champion would not be able to leave for at least another week. Western Ice Races Ru United Press MILWAUKEE. March I.—The western indoor championship ice races will be held in Milwaukee March 9. according to an announcement today by local officials of the Western Skating Association.

"Babe Ruth is a good deal better this morning,” was the word passed out from the headquarters at the Majestic Hotel, where the mighty slugger of l-aseball is suffering from an attack of the flu. Dr. W. T. Wooten was an early caller at the room where Babe is flat on his back following contracting a heavy cold during a night ride in an open automobile Thursday. Indoors Until Monday The physician “kidded” Ruth back into a cheerful frame of mind and told him he might get out of bed Sunday and go outside Monday if he continued to progress as well as he has during the last twelve hours. Ruth fretted considerably when the doctor ordered him to stay inside over the week-end. Babe pointed to the fact that he had a good appetite and was feeling fine to uphold his contention that he was “all well.” However. Dr. Wooten didn’t want to take any chances on a set-back. Keep Him Entertained The doctor spent some time with Ruth Friday night and hundreds of visitors at the Arkansas spa were anxious to do all possible to keep him entertained and happy. Ruth was mighty pleased when they u-ld him about the thousands of inquiries from all parts of the country leaching the hotel asking regarding l.is condition.
