DRNE T0 SPEED RAL PLANS DUE Moves to Reorganize Some of 85 Roads Likely After Labor Day. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 31.—It is ex- pected that, after Labor day, there will be inaugurated an effort to re- organize some of the 85 railroads now in default or in receivership. As five systems, Missourl Pacific, Rock Island, Frisco, Chicago & Northwest- ern and Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific represent about 70 per cent of the total mileage involved in bank- ruptcy and an even larger ratio to fotal capitalization, the plans to be t forward in the interest of their security holders will receive most at- z::;lu by committees, the Interstate | erce Commission and the courts. Recently Federal Judge Wilkerson in Chicago cited directors of the Rock Island to appear before him Septem- ber 17 and show cause why they should not be prepared to submit a reorganization plan by November 1. This road has been in bankruptcy more than two years and has been making no progress toward & capital veadjustment. The diffesent classes of security holders have been at odds with one another. GALLAGH CHAPTER XXVIIL ORN out by the previous day, Betsy overslept the next morning. It was after 10 when Mrs. Seymour came into the room with her break- fast. She put the tray on the night table, closed the windows, turned open the switch on the hot-air panel and tiptoed across the room to Betsy. Mrs. Seymour gently pulled one of the golden curls in front of her ear and Betsy opened her eyes. Her mother said: “John was down at 7 o'clock. He told me everything. Oh, Betsy, I am so happy—so happy, and look what a beautiful day you have for your wedding! Just look out that window!” Betsy turned. lovely, sleepy eyes to the trees with their snowy arms, the ledges of the windows across the street piled high with white, the roofs of the row houses gleaming with their Wintry blankets. The wind still sang through the sunshine and the frozen world like a wild harp player. Mrs, Seymour went on, excitedly: “John and I have attended to all the details. A florist has decorated Other Carriers Cited. The same is true in the Missouri Pacific situation and in that of the| Frisco. It has been impossible in| Both instances to present a plan that | would be acceptable to a majority of | any one class of bonds, mainly be- | cause the suggestions of the various| bondholders’ committees have been so ufuch at variance with those of in-| terests still in control of these prop- ertles or with those of aggressive| inorities. ‘The troubles’ of the Chicago & | Northwestern and of the St. Paul have | been of comparatively recent origin. ‘While each road has been represented by committees with reorganization | plans, the controversy growing out | of their proposals has been mild and the relations between different groups | fairly cordial. The prospect of early capital re- forms by several of these major sys- tems has been advanced by the so- ealled Eastman railroad reorganization | bill, which was passed by Congress. ‘This was drawn with the purpose of | quickening the legal processes associ- | ated with corporations controlled by | the courts. It supplements section 77| of the present bankruptcy act dealing | with railroads in financial trouble, placing in the Intersiate Commerce | Commisison and the courts the power | to create and promote a plan of reor- | ganization if creditors cannot get to- | gether on an arrangement that would be acceptable to a majority. Expected to End “Strike.” It is expected to eliminate the *striking” bondholder, who has been & costly nuisance in many of the re- | erganizations of the last 35 years, and | to take out of the hands of banking Jhouses the power to perpetuate them- selves in any new corporation or to| profit liberally from reorganization fees and the inside information that | goes with their position. As the old law has been interpreted, | #» one-third minority of all creditors could block a reorganization plan of | yecognized merit and justice to the majority. Under the new statute the 1. C. C. and the courts can compel this minority to accept the plan if they deem it in the interest of the| fargest number of security holders. (Copyright, 1935.) MRS. W. M.

Mrs. Stockton sent Reginald over with hun- dreds of flowers from your debut. He took the rest to Terry. John hurried down at 9 o'clock for the license and to get rings. He's asking Bishop ‘Williams, an old friend of his father's, to perform the ceremony. A bishop, Betsy! You'll feel really married when a bishop says those solemn words over you! All you have to do now is eat your breakfast, bathe and dress and—" Betsy drew up the pillows and bal- LOVELY LITTLE FOOL oA Story of Washingtons Sooz & PHYLLIS MOORE THE EVENING Sef_ into hers, promising her eve: hhu“wnldm—hh heart—his very 50 And then John was kissing her tenderly, whispering, “Oh, my dar- ling—my darling!” and it was over. Every one was talking excitedly. Her mother and Mrs. Stockton cried a little and clung together. Barbara and Jennie rushed up, laughing and flushed, to Betsy and wound their arms around her. John shook Mr. Seymour’s hand and the bishop’s and took the clapping on his back that Lee Travers gave him, beaming with happiness. After the informal wedding break- fast, when the towering white cake with the impudent kewpie-faced bride and bridegroom perched on the top had been cut and Jeénnie, crestfallen, had drawn a thimble—for an old maid—and Barbara, radiant, had drawn a ring—for a bride—Betsy slipped quietly - upstairs to mother’s room for the suitcases which had been packed for her, for her hat and coat, pocketbook and gloves. She stood in the center of the room, look- ing around, feeling as if she were in & strange place even though she could hardly remember having lived any- where but right here. She opened her mother's top drawer, remembering how as a small girl she had tipped up on her toes, fascinated by the serene and orderly condition of mother’s possessions. At first she didn't see the long white envelope addressed to her. The tears in her eyes were misting her vision. But suddenly the bold black letters of a return address of a publishing house and the neat typing of her . | own name on the face of the envelope ” she finished, her eyes wide, her lips trembling. Mother said, her bright face cloud- ing: “Betsy, what's wrong? Don't you want to marry John?” “Yes, mother. Of course.” Mrs. Seymour caught Betsy's shoul- ders in her rough hands. She said: “Are you marrying him because you love him—or because Marshall eloped with Libby Stockton?” “That. And because we need money. Terry needs money—" Her voice was young and bitter. “Oh, my dear, my dear, can't you see that John is the man for you? Even if he were poor and unable to do anything for us.” Mother looked as if Betsy had quite taken leave of her senses. “He doesn't deserve to have this happen to him, mother. He doesn't deserve to have a girl marry him for his money—for a way out. He's too sweet and fine for that.” If Mrs. Seymour had said just one word agreeing with her, Betsy knew that she would have hurried out of that bed and gone instantly to John, telling him that she couldn't marry him. But her mother put the break- fast tray across Betsy’s lap, lifted the saucer from over her egg, unfolded her napkin and said, “Try to eat a | little, darling. You'll feel differently about all this after breakfast. And do look at the package John put on the tray for you.” Then she went out of the room.| Feeling as if every one and every- thing in the world were against her, Betsy opened the small violet plush box. The lid clicked open on silent, expensive springs and there, standing upright against a background of white satin, were two rings—a plat- inum and diamond wedding band flashing bright facets of fire and a gorgeous engagement ring—a two- karat diamond, blue-white, flawless, set in platinum, with orange blossom clusters of smaller stones on the sides. Betsy, feeling the tears start- ing up in her eyes, snapped the box shut and slid it under her pillow. She laughed. But only for a second, be- cause the sound of her voiee in that quiet room was inexpressibly shocking. “I can't marry him,” she sobbed. “I can't. I'm not thinking of myself now. I'm thinking of him. I like him too much to do this to him.” But she did marry him. At 11 o'clock she went downstairs wearing a black velvet suit with a little rhinestone-buttoned jacket that hugged her waist as fast as a man's arm might—one of the dresses from the trunkful of lovely things that Barbara had sent from Hollywood— black velvet slippers and John's white orchids pinned on her shoulder. She looked very beautiful and small and— unhappy. Mrs. Stockton, Jennie, Barbara, Lee Travers—who was to be the best man—Tommy Collins—getting poetry out of it all—and her mother and father stood in the flower-clustered parlor waiting for her. John, in morning clothes with a white carna- tion in his lapel, was leaning against the mantel talking with Bishop Wil- liams. The bishop was in good humor, as shown by the floridity of his cheeks. Imposing, too, in his ecclesiastical robes—white lace vestments over full cardinal skirts. He was saying, “When I married your mother and father, John, I stayed awake a week trem- bling over it.

For the first time in her life her mother had opened her mail. She wondered why. She slipped the letter out of the envelope and began to read, her ex- pression changing slowly. Her novel was very good, the typing said. Miss Everston, editor of the Woman's Jour- nal, wanted to run it serially and would pay $1,000 for the rights. Aft- erward it would appear in book form. There would be no advance guar- antee on the book sales, However, be- cause she was a “first-timer.” She might make & lot. She might make just a very little. The radio and motion picture rights were at her dis- posal. Would she send a biography telling everything about herself that was interesting—her age, her hobbies, her birthplace, her education? Also a photograph. Hoping this offer would be acceptabte and thanking her for submitting the novel, they were . . . Betsy had just finished reading this amazing letter when her mother came into the room. Mrs. Seymour had a slim bracelet set with sapphires strung | over her fingers. She said beaming, “Mrs. Stockton wants you to have this, Betsy. Isn't it . . . perfectly gor- geous?” But Betsy didn't hear her; she | didn’t see the bracelet glittering on the gnaried work-worn hands. She swung quickly around on her slim heel, her face pale, her lips quiver- ing—"Mother! Mother! How could you have done this to me! You knew about this offer . . you knew . . . and you let me go ahead and marry John . . .” “Betsy . . 1" “Oh, mother, can't you see! I wouldn’t have had to marry John,” she sobbed. “I wouldn't have had to marry him, loving Marshall as I do. I .. .” she broke off abruptly. For beyond Mrs. Seymour, stand- ing in the door, bewilderment and pain transversing his bronzed young | face, stood John Storm.
