In the fore part of the week the

that quarter.
The Industrial situation reflected
marked improvement in the steel

mills increasing their output, while
copper sold at its highest price in
years. Den and for new equipment*

J. M. Ballow of the' Leslle-Wallace
Hardware company has returned
from Hico, Texas, where he was
called on account of the death of
his father. Eli iC. Ballow.
The following account of the
death of Mr. Ballow is republished
from the Hico Review:
"Mr, Eli C. Ballow was born Sep-
tember 25, 1848, In Ash county,
North Carolina; came to Texas in
1858,, locating In Grayson county
near Kentucytown, where, be was
married to Miss Lee Savage in
1870. To this union were born
seven children—the first died in in-
fancy and the others are as follows:
J. W. Portaies, N. M.; Mrs. Jen-
nie McCarty, Afton; Mrs. Ella
Singleton, Oklahoma; J. M. Sher-
man; R. L„ route 4; Mrs. Maude
Platt, near town.
"Deceased moved to Erath coun-
ty In 1879 and located north of
Hico, where his first wife preceded
in death June 1, 1887,
"In August, 1890, he was married
to Mrs. Sarah Brown, who still sur-
vives him. —
"Alter a lingering illness of some
three or four years, he was relieved
of all suffering when death came
9:25 the evening of May 28, 1915,
at the home in Cox-Weaver addition
where he has resided for several
years. .
"The funeral was held Saturday
afterneon. Interment being made in
the Duffau cemetery. Revs. Nations
and Lane of Hico and Price of Dnf-
fau conducting the services.
"For twenty-one years Mr. Bal-
low had been a member of the Duf-
fau Baptist church, and for quite a
number of these years he was church
clerk. The writer was not person-
ally acquainted with him, but we
learn that he was a broad-minded
Christian who was steadfast in his
faith and practise; and he exem-
plified honesty in his daily inter-
course with his fellowmen. The
greatest inheritance he has left his
children is the fact that he taught
them the principles of honesty and
right living accoruing to the Word.
Peace unto him.

reorganization so that all claims
could be satisfied without such an
enormous loss to them. The plan,
if successful, will be explained to
remit- Judge Tuttle on Monday, and he will
rule as to whether the sale of the
road will be necessary.
The claim has been repeatedly
made that some of the bigger rail-
road Interests are behind the move
to force the sale, in order that they
may get control of the Pere Mar-
quette. Although the road is bank-
dupt, and now in the hands of a re-
ceiver, investigations by the Inter-
state Commerce commission have
revealed that the flnancial handling
of the road is one of the contribut-
ing causes of the downfall. Losses
running into millions were revealed
in the testimony heard here last
December. One transaction alone
involved a net loss of 18,000,000
through the sale of,bonds by J. P.
Morgan & Co. under the. hammer.
It was shown that the road sacrific-
ed $2,500,000 through discounts on
note and bond issues, which amount
had been charged up to the cost of
property account. Furthermore,
$2,500,000 was shown 'by the books
to have been paid out for current
liabilities during the past 14 years
without corresponding benefit to the
road. •
According to the records read by
Auditor Sikes of the road, at the in
vestigatlon last December, the Pere
Marquette sold to the Morgan firm
in 1900, $8,000,000 in notes and
received $7,600,000 in cash for
them. In the deal, the road” trans-
ferred to the New York, financiers as
collateral the sum of $16,000,000
in bonds. When in 1908 the Mor
gans had been unable to collect on
the notes, they sold the $16,000,000
worth of bonds under the hammer,
obtaining only $6,000,000 for them.
This amount still lacked $2,000,000
of paying the note Issue, and left the
•end with no. only th“ 'wc million.-,
balance on notes, bin the burden o*
(paying off the $16,000,000 worth
of bonds. This matter involved a
legal question which is In the
courts.
