In Chicago on September 21 the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway Co filed a bill in chancery in federal court asking permission to issue new bonds on mortgaged property. It cites crippling finances and inadequate service under current terms. Defendants include Central Union Trust Co of New York, former American ambassador to Russia David R. Francis, and J. L. Hecht of Davenport Iowa. The 1904 bond issue of 163 million dollars is tied to a clause prohibiting further bonds, which the railroad seeks to strike. Judge George A.
