'Confirmation was obtained in
Wall street of reports to the effect
that H. H. Rogers was heavily inter

of Mr. Rogers' fortune has been in

It was reported that the personal
obligation incurred amounted to $40,
000,000. It can be stated positively
that the sum is much larger than the
amount named, also that the situa
tion has been entirely cleared up.
"In order to meet the demands
made upon him in connection with
the construction of the railroad, Mr.
Rogers was forced to dispose of a
large amount of 'investment stock at
av sacrifice. All during the recent de-
i cline in prices the vice president of

object was to carry coal and lumber
to tidewater. The line was to be 444
