B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the execu
ttv committee of the Rock Island rail
road ayntem, aupplumenta an Interview
given to the press a montli ago with a
written atatement of hie views on rail
road regulation. The statement wu
printed In a recent number of the Satur
day Evening Post, under the caption, j
"The Railroads' Opportunity," and is as
follows: '
, The question as to whether President
Koosevelt Is a menace to business Is a
hard one because of the peculiar ordeal
through which the whole country has
' been passing thai has resulted in the
present conditions. ' '
We are In a state of readjustment of
our business affairs as well as an adjust
ment of 'our business methods. 'Any man
responsible for a corporation's policy who
cannot read the signs of the times suffi
ciently well to see that- there must be a
change In cofporaU procedure is blind to
what Is going on about him.
The policy which.' has been pursued by
ths federal government, while causing
a heavy shrinkage of security prises,
bringing loss . to many people and tem
porarily depressing business, has un
doubtedly been Instrumental, la preventing
a national disaster of far greater magni
tude than ths present period of tension
and unrest.
It Is unreasonable to assuras that tb
federal goverment is going to carry on

a warfare against the railroads and the
Industries of the country to a point of
destructiventS4. That would be neither
sound business judgment nor good poll
tics. Thinking people would repudiate
such a policy.
We have reached a point where, as
business men, we should ' recognize the
authority of the federal government to
rperclfie certain supervision " over the
ttalfflo of the transportation ' companies
which should be fair to both' the rail
roads and the public they serve "
Benefits of Ventilation. .
To expose the excesses of corporate rusts
is not a detriment, but s, protection to their
stockholders; to throw restrains about the
corporations Is 'to give a' guarantee of
equality and fair administration (n the fu
ture. 8uch a policy, carried out on a con
servative basis, roust b6 beneficial to all.
It will, In the end, be a safeguard to the
constructors and operators of oiir rallwa
systems as well as to th'r stockholders,
thus establishing confidence, and giving se
curity to the securities. '
The new state and national legislation
will revolutionise the methods 'of solving
our transportation problems. Under It the
railroads will have an opportunity to be
come important factors In formulating and
putting Into effect fair and equitable rates
and regulation, under an agreed working
plan that makes for closer co-operatton and
mutual protection to the public .
The earnings must be sufficient, fgj the
railroads to meet ail legitimate require
ments to develop the country's, traffic and,
at ths same time, give a faUreturn to the
owners.- ''.'.'
Basio Cooperatloa.
But If ths railroads to avail them
selves of this opportunity, I do not believe
that another one 'ljke It will' come to them
again..' Public, pressure and -public senti
ment will then force rules and regulations
regardless of expediency 'jor ' reason. In
other words,, It seems to me that the ad
ministrative and legislative bodies repre
senting the peopje, ; and the railroad man
agers representing Jhe stock and . bond
holders, should nut resort to Insane oppo
sition, but sane co-operation.
The effect of .the present financial
stringency will be 40 cause all railroads
temporarily to harbor their resources, and
to discontinue all expansion and new Im
provements. The only expenditures will
bs those necessary ' to. a safe and proper
maintenance of the properties. This foroed
retrenchment, coming as It does at the be
ginning of ths winter, must make a seri
ous difference among a great mass of the
wage earners of the country. On. account
of tha exceptional prosperity, of. ths last
few years many of them have grown ac
customed to a more luxurious, wax of liv
ing than they enjeyed before,. To h forced
to economise will be unpleasant, to say tha
least. If the scarcity of work continues.
It will somewhat dampen the enthusiasm
of ths Idle over the republican administra
tion, because hardship Is not exactly con
ducive to political fervor. . .v
A Maaafae tared Pastle,'
The facts are taut iue losiury's business
iors act warrant a panic. Ws are in the
njiiymcnt of real and wide-spread pros-
rlty. Il.e fields of li.e et are teem
ing with riches, and an abundant crop and
good prices are assured. There are prao
tically no farm mortgages, which was not
the case a few years ago. Many of our
farmers are now buyers of land mortgages
and lenders of money.
The policies that ' ths administration
stands for are healthy and will prove con
structive. The method of applying them
In some instances has been Ill-advised and
a mistake. But, taking the good with the
bad,' 1 believe that we are better oft under
the existing conditions than we should
have been had we continued without gov
ernmental restraint.
Force of Government Sanction.
We shall emerge, from our present dis
turbances with a clearer understanding
with the government; a closer knowledge
of our responsibilities to our stockholders;
with our railroads and corporate properties
"worth the money," and based on their
actual earning capacity under a system
of accounting that has the stamp of ap
proval of an oflicer of the federal govern
ment. Therefore, when our' home bankers
send their annual statements to their for
eign correspondents they can say, In offer
ing our securities to their customerswith
absolute confidence, that these statements
are correct and have been carefully scru
tinised. Investigated and approved by tha
government.
This federal approval Is as near as we
can posHOlly get to obtaining, tha govern
ment's actual guaranty upon our securities,
and It will bo a safe and sans substitute
for government ownership, a condition for
; which ws are not ready.
Therefore, I can see no reason why a
permanent recession of business should
come to the nation at this time, either from
conditions or as a result of ths work the
federal government has been engaged In.
PA HOIHKE IS HUNTING BEAR
Goes Gnnnlna; for Soma Cabs for Next
Tear's Western Champions.
If Pa Rourke, president of the Omaha
Western league champions, hits everything
at which he aims. President Roosevelt may
have to lower his colors as crack, bear
hunter. '
t or Pa has gone gunning for the big
game. Only he Isn't going to waste any
powder on old bruins; Just cubs for his.
Pa has chosen as his hunting grounds
the preserves of president Murphy of the
World's champions, said to be thick at this
season with lively Cubs.
Pa has gone to Chicago to confer with
Charles A. Murphy, president of the Chi
cago base ball club, with reference to se
curing some of the extra Cuba as members
of the Omaha team in 19os. Pa has had
his eye peeled for some time looking for
players and has secured several pitchers
who should be able to make good under
the remarkable tutelage for which Pa Is
noted, but he la still on the lookout to
strengthen the team wherever possible and
to that end has Journeyed to Chicago to see
what material can be secured from the
World's champions. While no specific men
nay be secured at this time Pa hopes to
arrange with Murphy to get some of I lis
extra men he now has on ths Chicago pay
roll who will not be needed by the Cuba.
Chicago scouts hav secured a laine num
ber of new player and some of those whom
Manager Chance may want to farm out
for Utile more seasoning may be secured
by Pa.
Chicago rumors have It that Artie Unf
it an, star utility man of the Cuba, was to
buy the Ltes Moines team, but that he was
unable to secure- his rrlease by the Cubs.
It is now thought ha will buy the team
from ths laiitiUons and hlis some couiye-
tent manager to look after his Interests
while he still plavs with Chicago.
DWYEIl MAY LAND FINE PLACE
Probably Will Go with Illinois Ath
letic Club In Chicago.
Professor M. J. uwyer piooaoiy will be
come wrestling director of the Illinois Ath
letic club of Chicago, one of the largest
and best equipped clubs of the kind In tne
Lulled Slates. He slopped In Omaha Fri
day going from Chicago to Denve after a
conference wtih the heads of the cluo Jn
Chicago. The negotiations indicate at pres
ent mat he will close a contract for the
place, which will give him a position to
be coveted by men of his profession.
William Hale Thompson is at the head
of this club and Charles L. Zellers Is chair
man of the physical training commiueu.
Some of the most prominent men of Chi
cago are members. Joe Choynskl Is the
boxing professor.
"If I get that place," said Dwyer, "I will
stop professional wrestling, for It will keep
me busy and afford a much more satisfac
tory occupation. I told the directors that
If we closed the deal I would ask to be al
lowed to wrestle Just once more on the
outside. I have opened negotiations with
Farmer Burns for a mixed matcii, calch-as-catch-can
and Cornish styles here in
Omaha, and I would like to go through with
that arrangement They did not object to
this."
1 had a nice visit with old Joe Choyn
skl at the club and found him at 45 in the
pink of condition. He took on twenty-five
students the last day I was there. That
ought to keep any man in shape. Joe. likes
his work fine."
Dwyer has been boxing professor In some
of the big colleges of the country. Includ
ing Yale and Michigan and some of I he
leading clubs. Including Atlanta, Birming
ham and Orand Rapkls, his home.' Of
course his greatest distinction comes t ora
his having been the tutor of Oovernor and
President Roosevelt. He has but recently
closed his engagement with the Denver Ath-
lethic club and Is temporarily residing in
Denver. He owns two large dwelling
houses In Grand Kaplda, however, and con
siders that his noma .
"Mv hand that was hurt at the Auditor
ium in the Burns match ten days ago Is
about well, so far as I can discover, said
Dwyer. "Ten days more ought to put it
In as srood condition as ever. I hope Burns
and I can conclude our Dlans for the mixed
match In Omaha. I think the people were
highly satisfied with our former maun,
except the misfortune that befell me."
Dwver wired In Burns Friday and left
the arrangements In the hands of Manager
Uilllan of the Auditorium,
ua.,ager Oiilan announces that Dwyer
and Burns can have the Auditorium for
the night of January 9 for their match.
Burns being In a class to himself as a
catch-as-catch-can wrestler and Dwyer be
ing champion Cornish wrestler of America,
a mixed match between them ought to be
a most spectaaular affair. Dwyer made
such an excellent showing against Burns In
their first match that he left the fans
cadger to see him In the mixed contest.
KANGAROOS ROUT THE TIGERS
Getting Into Shape for Gams with tha
Llaeuln Jnnlora.
Tha Kangaroo basket ball team of the
Junior Young Mens Chrisiian as
sociation defeated the Tigers of the senior
association last evening by a score of li
to 8. The game was merely for practice,
and worked the boys into fine shape for
their hard match ith the Young Men's
Christian association Juniors from Lincoln
next Saturday. The Tigers played espec
ially strong in the first half, at the end
of which the score was 7 to 3 In their
favor. But the lads from ths boys' de
partment were determined ' to maintain
their reputation of alwsys being winners,
and by hard work they held their op
ponents down to one point In the second
half, while they scored ten themselves.
The Kanijeroo lineup Included Burdick,
Dodds, Arasietn. MagL Pagels and Doud.
These players will constitute tha team that
will meet the Lincoln bunch Saturday.
Prellmjnaiy to the game the second and
third teams of the Junior department will
play. A large number of tickets have al
ready been sold, and a good crowd la ex
pected. WITH THE BOWLERS.

terms when ha entered tha sorbite of the
Harrlsburg management- Tha commission
decides against Tebeau.
Ths members of tha commission were
unanimous In declaring that the Cincinnati
club's title to Campbell was clear. Presi
dent Pulllam of the national commission
dissented In that portion of tha decision
which deals with Campbell as a contract
Jumper, claiming that It waa unnecessary
to go Into that detail, as Campbell waa a
free asrent before tha alleged contract
jumping took place. In view of the com-
uDon CamDbelt by the National Association

BAN FRANCISCO. Deo. 27. Abe Attel,
who Is to box Owen Moran of England for
the world's featherweight championship on
New Year's day, has at least five days
left him to take off a half pound, which
will be an easy task. At his training camp
he bounded on the scales before' a num
ber of sporting men, making the beam
register 121 pounds. Moran's weight Is
given out as at the same figure. The bet
ting remains tha same, Attell being tha
favorite at 8 to 10.

training.
All the dope waa again upset. Few, how
ever, realise the hardship to a foot ball
team to have to travel 2.6") miles. It is
sure to spoil most of the effects of a good
training season.
All the teams are In Una for the Inter
City league and all Is tn readiness for tha
