61 DETAILS OF
’FRISCO’S LOSS
OF MILLIONS
Inquiry Resumed Before the
Inter-State Commerce Com
mission. Reid Dominated the
Rock Island Board.
Washington.—Some details concern
ing the acquisition and subsequent
sale at a loss of millions of the Frisco
Liner, were developed today when the
investigation into the financial opera
tions of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railway were resumed before
the interstate commerce commission.
George B. McMurtry of New York,
a director of the Rock Island oper
ating company and of the New Jer
sey holding company of the Rock Is
land, gave testimony tending to show
that the board of directors practically
was dominated by Daniel G. Reid. The
witness said he knew personally verv
little concerning the financial opera
tions of the several companies. Asked
about specific transactions —including
the Frisco deal, he replied:
‘•No Time for Detail*.”
"I didn't have time to go into such
details,” said he.
Mr. McMurtry said he relied upon
the reports of the executive commit
tee, which had direct charge of them.
George T. Boggs of New York, a di
rector of the Rock Island operating
company and an official in various
capacities of that company for many
years, giving his version of the pur
chase and subsequent sale by the Rock
Island of the Frisco Lines, said ho
believed it to be for the best inter
est: of the Rock Island to dispose of
the Frisco stock to B. F. Yoakum and
his asosciates, even at a loss.
"The time and condition had
changed,” said the witness, ‘‘and ’t
was necessary for us to do the best
we cruld in the circumstances.”
“As a director of the Rock Island
Railway, did you cast your votes ac
cording to instructions?”_asked Solici
tor Folk.
“No, I never did. I acted upon my
best judgment.”
DELEGATES GO
to see am
Southern Chief Not Wired to
Come to Convention; Instead,
Representatives Will Visit
Him.
Washington.—lnstead of telegraph
ing General Zapata to send more del
egates to the national convention at
Auguascalientes, Mex., the assembly
has appointed a committee headed by
Gen. Felipe Angeles and some of the
Zapata delegates who had already ar
rived to confer with the southern
chief in person.
This information was reported to
the state department today from Its
agent at Aguascalientes. A special
train was provided for the committee
which is expected to meet Zapata in
Cuernavaca tomorrow and explain the
purposes of the convention.
Administration officials were highly
encouraged by the move, regarding it
as evidence of the firm purpose of
the convention to secure co-operation
of all factions for the restoration of
peace. Generat Angeles is a close
friend of General Villa and served for
some time as sub-secretary of war
under Carranza but was deposed by
the latter.

Marconi Wireless Expresses
Regret in Sending the Hon
olulu Message. Sec’y Daniels
Rescinds Closing Order.
Washington.-—Upon receiving from
the Marconi Company an expression
of regret and assurance that greater
caution would be exercised in the fu
ture. Secretary Daniels today ordered
that no further steps be taken In re
gard to the sending of a message by
the Marconi wireless station at Hono
lulu announcing the arrival there
Thursday of the German cruiser
Geler.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt yester
day ordered Rear Admiral Moore, com
mandant of the naval station at ponrl
Harbor, to cloae the wireless station
within 14 hours unless the manage
ment gave a satisfactory explanation
of what the department regarded is
a flagrant violation of neutrality. The
message was sent during the tempo
rary absence of the naval censor on
duty at the station.
In transmitting the company's state
ment today Admiral Moore expressed
the opinion that there had been no
intentional violation of neutrality and
advised that the promise of greater
caution in tbe future be accepted.
