NOTED RAILWAY EXECUTIVE DIES IN NEW YORK denja‘nin F. Yoakum for Years Was Chairman of Great Systems. Bn ( nited Press NEW YORK. n6v. 28—Benjamin F. Yoakum, 70, for many years one of the best-known of western railroad executives, died at hi Fifth avenue residence here early today. Yoakum had been head of the St. Louis & San Francisco and the Rock Island railroad systems, later becoming chairman of the board of the Empire Bond and Mortgage Corporation of New York. He held the latter position Up to the time of his death. It was said of Yoakum not long ago t hat he had “built mftre miles of railread than any man living.” Born ori a Texas farm, his ambition from boyhood was railroading. After serving in various capacities. beginning with freight clerk, on the Southern Pacific, International A- Gn at Northern. San Antonio & Aransas Pass, and Gulf, Colorado & San Fe railroads, he became genera! manager and third vice-presi-dcot ' f the Frtsco system in 1816. In 1901 he was elected president of that road, and in 1904 he became chairman of the board. From 1905 to 1 PCS he was also chairman of the Rork Island. Under Yoakum's management, the Frisco grew from a line of only 1,120 miles, to an extensive system of more than 6.000 miles. When the Rock Island was allied with the Frisco in 1905, he w r as chief of a system embracing more than 17,000 miles of track. For more than twenty years Yoakum had been interested keenly in improving the condition of American farmers. At the Texas state fair at Dallas in 1909. he urged farmers to organize for sale of their products and developed a marketing system known as “the Yoakum plan.” Many features of this plan have been embodied In farm legislation and in * the national corporations no- being organized for marketing of farm products. Yoakum was married in 1885 to Elizabeth Bennett of San Antonio, Tex. Mrs. Yoakum died in 1926. Two daughters, Mrs. Katheryne Fosdick and Mrs. Bessie Larkin, and two grandchildren survive him.
