CHICAGO, Oct. 30. Ten million dollars In
round figures out of a total of US.OiO.OOO
put up by Investors for the bankrupr Chi
cago A Milwaukee Electric Railway com
pany lias gone into something else besides
construction, according to reports of cer
tified accountant to the receivers appointed
by Federal Judge I'etcr 8. Grosscup.
The principal feature of the accountants'
reiKirts was mude public today. The re
ports show that 8,4."4,0n0, Including the
floating debt, has been spent in the con
struction of the entire road. Outstanding
against this Is a total bond and certificate
issues of $16.0no,0OO and other debts amount
ing to S2.169.000. making a total deft of !!.
169,000. The difference between this amount
and the money actually expended on the
road la $9,715,000.
Only a haiy Idea of the ultimate disposi
tion of this $9,715,000 exists outside the cir
cle of tbe promoters of the company. A
tremendously large amount was dissipated
In the selling of bonds at extremely low
prices. Until affairs are probed thoroughly
the Investors will not know all of the
quicksands that sucked In their money.
The Wisconsin division of the road Is
the most striking example of extraordinary
financing. The actual cost of the con
struction was $2,250,000. Against this Is a
debt of $12,929,806. There also are Interest
ing wrinkles In financing the completion
of the road during the last few months.
Receiver Moore was appointed "by Judge
Groescup at the Instance of tho Loewenfeldt
Ijondon Security company, which has $1,250,-
000 of tho road's bonds. Loewenfeldt, It was
understood, was to take $1,000,000 of the
receiver's certificates Issued for the com
pletion of the road Into Milwaukee, and
lnglneer Drum was appointed, at the in
stance of Keoeiver Moore, to superintend
the work. They contracted to finish the1
road and to receive a commission of $40,
000. Mr. Loewenfeldt, It appears, did not pur
chase the reeclver's certificates, but turned
thorn over to Receiver Moore, who waa to
try to dispose of them In the United States
and Canada, there being no market for
them In London after the exposures of the
road's condition. In exchange for the cer
tificates Loewenfeldt took $1,000,000 of the
bonds of the Michigan United Railways
company. In which Moore Is Interested.
Loewenfeldt, as a result of these deals,
has furnished only $180,000 toward financing
the completion of the road.
INSURANCE DEAL C5DGR FIRE
Million Dollar Cheek Manlpolated by
Promoters.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30. Albert M. Johnson,
head of the National Life Insurance com
pany of the United States, In a hearing
before Master In Chancery Zeisler yester
day told how a $1,000,000 check was manipu
lated by htm and his associates at the time
they acquired tho charter of the company.
Mr. Johnson revealed the facts while un
dergoing cross-examination by Attorney D.
K. Tone. In the action which has been
brought to restrain Gustav Meyers. Ufa In
surance underwriter, from circulating a
pamphlet attacking the company's financial
standing.
"How much did the present company, that
you are now operating under a charter from
chase."
"How much money did you or the pur
chasing company have on deposit in this
bank at the time the payment was made?"
The question was objected to by Attor
ney Ij. A. Stebblns for Johnson and sus
tained on the ground that private business
was not under investigation.
The National Life Insurance Company of
the United States was organized under the
act of congress for the benefit of Jay
Cooke, the civil war financier. In 1S68. Ho
operated It until 1872, when his failure
forced him to dispose of It.
The next owner was the late Henry
Furber of Chicago, a well known real es
tate man. In the early 90s Furber sold the
charter and business to O. D. Wetherell,
former city comptroller of Chicago. Weth
erell sold It to tho present owners, Albert
M. Johnson and E. A. Shedd and associates.

of the problem or the enormous amount of
constructive work that has been accom
plished under President Roosevelt. . The
creation of the Department of Commerce
und ltbor. and under it the bureau of
corporations, was a great step. The dem
ocrats In Washington fully appreciate what
has been accomplished, but they have been
trying to discredit President Roosevelt by
claiming with great gusto that they are
supporting him, while as a matter of fact
they have endeavored to embarrass him in
every way. In the last session of congress
the filibuster carried on by the democrats
consumed a month of valuable time. Pres
ident Roosevelt has been charged by them
with overstepping the bounds of the con
stitution In trying to extend the powers of
the federal government In order to regulate
the railroads and trusts. He has been
charged with tryin to build up a spy sys
tem slmlla to that In Russia because of
the increase In the number of federal em
ployes that has been necessary to enforce
the railroad act, the pure food and drugs
act. the meat Inspection law, the rural
free delivery service, the reclamation
work, the forestry service and other con
structive leglxlation which the president
has put forward and which no democrat
would dare oppose.

doctor had retired and was sound asleep
when the fire was discovered by a roomer
In the next building. Had it not been for
the discovery the entire upsnlrs of the
bank snd adjoining buildings would have
been In flames, as the bedding was burn

Dr. Fenton was not very seriously burned,

when carried out.
