TOPICOFSPEAKER Chautauqua Speaker Traces Growth of Franchise to Cambridge Crowd. CAMBRIDGE CITY. July 9. The Hazel Folaon-Dagg company appeared in musical prelude at the opening session of the Chautauqua, Tuesday, and in grand concert in the evening. The ensemble number from "The Spring Maid" with Miss Helen Dodge, violinist, and Miss Gertrude Painskinsky, pianist, was a delightful beginning for the afternoon. The duet by Miss Dagg, who has a beautiful soprano voice, of wide range, and Mr. Carl Llndegren, the Kansas baritone, were pleasing numbers of the program. One of the strong, as well as one of the appealing numbers, was the address of the afternoon, made by Miss Belle Kearney, on the subject, "The American Woman of Tomorrow." Miss Kearney, a woman whom one recognizes at once, as standing for refinement and culture, both in dress and personality, step by step, in clear, logical manner, told of the progress made by women, going back to the women of Egypt and India and coming down in time to the civilization of today, impressing the fact that no civilization can rise higher than the status of its women. She argued that the franchise does not spoil home life, rather, on the other hand, it uplifts it. Cites Franchise State. She cited the states having the franchise and the reasons why it should be so in all states, that half the women of the country are bread winners and that many are property holders. She referred to many vital, civic questions, wherein women had been allowed a voice, and where they had proven themselves, not weaker, but the eqnal of- men in judgment. Dr. George La Monte Cole," a specialist of wide recognition concerning all interests ordinarily designated under the term "Southwest Indian Life," discussed the Cliff Dwellers, their mode of life, and their homes, as studied by himself. Beat Diarrhoea Remedy. If you have ever used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy you know that it is a success. Sam F. Guin, Whatley, Ala., writes, "I had measles and got caught out in the rain, and it settled in my stomach and bowels. I had an awful time, and had it not been for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not possibly have lived but a few hours longer, but thanks to this remedy, I am now well and strong."

NATION TURNS SEARCHLIGHT ON DAN ROD'S INTERESTS

WASHINGTON. July 9. The Inter-1 state Commerce Commission has beeun to turn its searchlight upon the Rock Island and Pere Marquette rail road systems, in which D. G. Reid is interested. In accordance with the direction of congress that body has sent Investigators to delve into the history and books of the corporations named. If past investigations, which incidentally have brought In the Rock Island, and information which from time to time has come under the committee are to be relied upon there will be a condition of affairs developed fully as scandalous, at least so far as the past is concerned, as that in connection with other railroads which haye been examined. Experts to Fix Value. While the investigation is in progress under the direction of Commissioner McChord, the value of the properties of both the Rock Island and Marquette will be estimated by a corps of experts of the commission. The investigation of the Rock Island will be similar to that of the New Haven, which has just been completed. The committee will ascertain the facts regarding the organization of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company-and the Rock Island company and the nature of their contract over the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company. Reports Are Sensational. If the reports which have reached the commission should be verfied, that body in its official report will tell a storv of high finance fully as sensa tional as anything which has come to light The Rock Island in 1902 connected Chicago and Denver, with branches terminating at St. Paul,. Minneapolis and Kansas City. It penetrated rich districts of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and other middle western states. It was double-tracked for a considerable distance beyond the Missisippi, possessed valuable terminal facilities, fine stations and equipment Stock Is Increased. At the time its stock outstanding was only $60,000,000 In the year mentioned a syndicate which had made large sums out of the combination of tin mills into a trust turned its attention to the Rock Island. Two holding companies were formed, one, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, the original company, and the other, known as the Rock Island company, to hold the stock of the railroad company. After obtaining control of the board of directors of the original railway company the promoters increased the stock from $60,000,000 to $75,000,000 and issued 4 per cent bonds to the amount of $71,000,000 of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad com pany and $71,000,000 common stock and $50,000,000 of preferred stock of the Rock Island company. In other words, they issued against $71,000,000 of stock of the original company $192,000,000 of stock and bonds. ' Seek Promoters' Profits. It will be the duty of the commission during the investigation to develop how much profit was made by the promotors out of this transaction and what banking institutions participated in the operation. The new management increased the mileage operated during the first year about 3,(100 miles, but the extension penetrated sparsely populated districts. was cheaply constructed and supplied with equipment of a poor character. Among the lines acquired were the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf and the Arkansas and Louisiana and later the Frisco lines. To buy the Frisco the Rock Island issued more than $17,000,000 in 5 per cent bonds of the original company and an equal amount of Rock Island common stock. It is declared that the interest on the bonds up to February 1, 1910, was lost when the sale was made, and the additional amount of bonds supplied to retire the original $17,000,000, which was $6,045,000. The original issue of $17,000,000 was paid off, but the new bonds, amounting to $7,500,000 and drawing 5 per cent interest, continue to be a claim against the Rock Island railway. As ONLY SIXTEEN, GIRL VERY SICK Tells How She Was Made Well by LydiaE.Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. New Orleans, La. "I take pleasure in writing these lines to express my gratitude to you.

was observed by Congressman Green,

of Iowa; in a speech delivered last win ter, "It seems like a jugglery of fig ures that the railway company should buy bonds of the railroad company and put those- bonds in its treasury as part of its assets." It is charged: , That the interest-bearing debt of the Rock Island has almost tripled, from $18,139 a mile In 1902 to $51,304 a mile. That in 1902 the interest-bearing debt was $71,000,000; now it is $258,000,000. That the net income of the system is little more than sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds issued by the railroad company and would not be sufficient if the road were properly maintained. That no improvements have been made commensurate with the amount of bonds and stock floated. That in 1902 the fixed charged were only 40 per cent of the net income; in 1911 they were 90 per cent. That dividends were paid on the preferred stock which should have been applied to maintenance. In defense of the Rock Island it is declared its total capitalization is not large, . compared to some other roads similarly situated; that large sums have been spent for maintenance, equipment and extensions; that it makes money out of its transportation business. The investigation, in accordance with the direction of Commissioner McChord, will be so conducted that the Rock Island will have every chance to defend itself. But it will be required to reveal every fact in its possession in order that the commission and congress may know the exact truth.
