cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway
was taken up before the Interstate
Commerce commission today at the
investigation Into the road'e finan
cial affairs.
Robert P. Lamont, president of
the American Steel Foundry com
pany of Chicago, testified tals com
pany petitioned for the Rock Island
receiver not for fear It could not
collect $15,000 due It, but because
SUas F. Strawn, a Chicago attorney,
whom Mr. Lamont presumed was
acting for Rock Island attorneys,
requested him to do so. ,
Robert Walker of New Tort, connected
with the Rock Inland in arloim legal
capacities, testified he asked Strawn to
iret some creditor to sign the petition,
which he hlmaelf had drafted at th
direction of W. II. Moore, T. M. Schu
macher and F. L.:.Hlne. other directors
of the company.
Counael Folk, for the commission,
asked If the board " had authorised
Walker, as counael, to file the petition.
Mr. Walker responded that he did not
consider that necessary, because a great
majority of the director Individually ap
proved the action. Mr. Walker denied
that he had consulted Daniel O. Reld.

company on collateral plus the personal
guaranty of Daniel O.'Reld. Ogden Mills.
William II. Moore. James McLean and
Arthur C. James. Walker said the money
was borrowed hi hope of carrying the
road along until after the dlrectora" . meet
ing. He prepared a petition for receiver
ship on March 29, to as to have it ready.
If the loan did not go through.
"Why did you take that collateral away
from the receiver, If U wa not to rlg
up", the stock market and take up the
stock from 29 to 39 in ten days, and then
let It drop to 21 In a single day7" asked
.Mr. Vntermyer. . .'.
Mr. Walker denied that was the pur
pose.
"Did you ever hear of any mors out
rageous deal than this?" demanded Mr.
t nterrnyer. ....
"You have overlooked the fact that four
new directors were to be elected on April
li, and we thought it but fair to allow
them a voice In meeting the situation,
responded Mr. Walker.
"But you, sold your own stock for $38
about this time," suggested Mr. Unter-
myer.
Mr. Walker testified that he did.
Under cross-examination as, Jo those
responsible for hla position with the' Rock
Island Mr. Walker said that ha "regarded
W. H. Moore, F. I Heine and .Daniel O.
Raid "and, thers" as in control. He
told of being paid 130,000 a year, as gen
eral counsel and chairman of tYt xecu
tlv board.
"I was their work horse and 'driven as
. they desired," waa the way Walker de
scribed his work. '-..
