...Ignatius Reschke and Sergeant Rudolph Maralowitz. The police guard represented (through the medium of an injunction) the interests of Cleveland's famed and potent Van Sweringen brothers. They were stationed, too, for the purpose of foiling, baffling and frustrating the interests of Cleveland's less famed but also potent Taplin brothers.

...Taplin brothers of Cleveland want the Wheeling, as they do the Western Maryland, to hook up with their short Pittsburgh & West Virginia and form a private Lakes-to-Ocean coal road. So they demanded that the I. C. C. forbid the B. & O., N. Y. Central and Van Sweringens to own the Wheeling. The I. C. C. last week continued to cogitate...
