SENSATION IN THE OAKES INVESTIGATION | Stub Line ceounted How the Stock of the Itocky F Was Watered -Millions Un ¥or-Scheming of Northern Pacific Directors, Northern Searles, Loan and NEW YORK, Pacific investig vice president of the Farmers' Trust company, was recalled and asked whetlier he had been able to find any record of the increase of the capital stock of the Rocky Fork & Cooke City Rallroad company from $74,000 to $2,000,000. Mr, Searles said May 11.—In the fon today, L. D, that the company had no such record, and | that the Increase must have been before the stock came into the compan session. James McNaught, senior counsel for th recelvers, stated, however, that he had the minutes of the mectings cf the stockholders and directors at which the increase was authorized, and was ready to submit them at any time. The dates of these meetings were April 5, 1889 and May 4, 18 Iward Edes, secretary and treasurer of the Rocky rks & Cooke City company, was replaced on the stand, Mr. Edes produced various books of the Oregon & MWranscontinental which — were placed in evidence, and which developed that when the Chie; & Northern Pacifie fssued its bonds to obtain funds for the purchase of the various properties com- prising it, they were deposited with the Farmers' Loan & Trust company. The Oregon & Transcontinental acting as finan- clal agent of the Chicago & Northern Pa cific, advanced the latter some $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 and opened subscription lists for the bonds. As the latter were pald for, most of them at 90 cents on the dollar, the Oregon & Transcontinental issued orders on the Farmers' Loan & Trust company to the purchasers for the delivery of the bonds. For these services as financial agent, the Oregon & Transcontinental received a com- mission of 3 per cent. The minutes of the mecting of the Oregon & Transcontinental directors for 1890 show- ing these facts were read in full. They cre- ated something of a sensation, as they' showed that the plan of leasiug the Chica & Northern Pacific to the Northern Pa was fully understood before the formation of the former company and that,it was formed for the purpose of so leasing it. This has always been denied by the Chicago & Northern Pacific people. These books of the old Oregon & Trascontinental have never been seen before by the counsel on either side of the present Investigation. The minutes of the meeting of the Oregon & Transcontinental committee in New York on January 22, 1890, and May 26, 1800, were also read.” They recited the various steps in the formation of the Chicago & Northern Pacific and gave lists of the property held by that company after its formation. Throughout the minutes showed that every #tep in the formation of the Chicago & Northern Pacific was taken with the advice and instruction of the Northern Pacific and with the intention of leasing the Chicago & Northern Pacific to the ' Northern Pacific through the Wisconsin Central company. The $20,000,000 of bonds of the Chicago & Northern Pacific were sold at 90 per cent and should have brought $18,000,000. But only about $9,000,000 appeared on the books of the Oregon & Transcontinental as having been received and there was nothing to show s this had come. “Mr. Edes,” said Mr. Pettit, “on the list of subscribers to these bonds T find a sub- gcription of over $4,000,000 by the Deutscher bank, J. H. S. Stearn, Henry Villard and as- sociates. Was this subscription ever paid “I don’t know,” replied Mr. Edes. “I suppose it formed part of the lump credited to cash.” ““Have you nothing to show that it was re- ceived?” “Not here,” sald Mr. book may show.” “Very well,” replied Mr. Pettit; “now here 1s the subscription of C. L. Colby for him- self, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Trevor, Mr. Abbot and Mr. Colgate for $7,000,000. Have you anything to show that this sum was ever paid?”’ *‘Nothing," replied the the check book does so." “But, my dear sir,” efaculated Mr. Pettit, you did not receive millions without making any record of where they came from!" ““Well, they came from the subscribers to the bonds,” sald Mr. Edes, “but there is no record of the separate payments by them.' Some discussion took place over a pencil mark on the books, referring to this matter, which Mr. Edes sald had probably been made by the bookkecper from information given him by Mr. Edes. The object of the questions asked the witness is to show that the Villard syndicate received some $i1,- 000,000 of bonds for a nominal sum, while other purchasers paid the market rate of 90 per cent. Al the rates from the subscribers being lumped and no itemized list of pay- ments being Kept, 80 far as can be learned at present, it will be very difficult to show whether the Villard syndicate did or did not pay for their bonds. Mr. Edes {s ex- pected to produce the check book at the afternoon session and throw some light on the subject A. C. Spofford was present at the after- noon session, but refused to testify. Mr. Spofford’s refusal to testify was based upon the presumption that the present hear- ings were really instituted in order to obtain evidence to use against Mr. Villard and others, and that the circult court of Wiscon- sin had no jurisdiction to institute and prose- cute the inquiry, and that the clerk of the district court of southern New York had not the power to subpoena him. At the request of Mr. Pettit the subpoena under whiclr Mr. pofford was called was read, Master Carey hen saying he was powerless in the matter wnd that it must be referred to the United States court. Mr. Edes then took the stand and produced the check and deposit books of the Oregon and Transcontinental, which it was hoped wold show who had paid the mone ived for the bonds of the Chicago & Northern Pacifiec. The books showed the deposit of $8,130,356 on June 2, 1890, the eredit of sub- scription for the Chicigo & Northern Pa- cific bonds. This amount has been deposited in ve different sums in the same bank on the An itemized account showed these were made up of a score or more of small sums. Against eight of these, aggre- gating $8 . were marked the letters “H, \'* Phis, Mr. Edes said, meant they were from Mr. Villard. None of the s were marked. sald Mr, Pettit, “you have on record about half of the $18,000,000 that you should have received, where is the other hali?" “I don't know." “Well, who did not pay up?" | I don't know." “What s your recollection “My recollection {s—1 don't recollect.” “Don’t you remember any one who did not y up? “No. “Out of the half that did pay, don’t you recollect any one?” “Yes; Mr. Smith.” “What is the total of Mr. ment?" “So far as I can see here it paid on June 2. “Were any subsequent payments made on account of these bonds?" e said Mr. Edes, “§ on June 26." “Who pald 1t?" “Well, it was paid on account of the pur- chasers of the bonds, but 1 do not know the fndividual payers.” The money so received and deposited by the Oregon & Transcontl- ntal was pald over to D. S. Wegg on the me day, Mr. Wegg being one of the ustees for the stockholders of the varlous raporties thon being consolldated into the Elm-ugu & Northern Paclfic The search for the persons who did not ay for thelr bonds grow warm, and the awyers and witnesses got very much tangled up In intricate questions, mostly on figur Finally Mr. McNaught, counsel for the re- Edes; “the check witness, ‘“‘unless Villard's pay- $826,537, 4,150 was pald J THE OMAHA DAILY BHEE: SATURDAY, MAY 12 1891 eivers, suggested perhaps the records of | the transactions with the United States Trust company with the Chicago & Northern Pacific would throw some light on the sub- Ject and asked for their production. The meeting then adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow. Mr. McNaught afterwards said that it would probably appear that the miss- ing $7,000,000 had been obtained through the United States Trust company, and of course would not appear on the books of the Oregon & Transcontinental. RATES DOWN EAST AND WEST, Cut on Hard Conl Made Yesterday Pacific Announcements, The Chicago roads yesterday ing announced that on and after May 13 rates on hard coal from Chicago to the Missour! river would be re- duced from §$3.20 to $1.95 per ton To coal dealers this announcement came with start- ling force and taking advantage of the very decided reduction the wires have been kept hot with inquiries as to how much coul | can be delivered at Omana yards im- mediately. Some of the dealers on the other hand were fearful that the rates will still go lower and are walting a more favor- able outlook for stability on the part of the lines, membors of the Western Freight as- soclation This reduction has been unequaled in the history of coal rates since the first railroad entered Omaha and the old-timers are wonderjng where all this utter demoraliza- tion is to end Following closely upon the coal cut comes an order from the heads of freight depart- ments of Chicago and St. Louls lines to re- duce packing h product to Ohio river crossings from 17 cents to 9 cents, from Omaha and South On a This will materfally affect Missouri Pacific points and was designed to give the Gould inter:sts a taste of what they had been forcing upon other roads. Conferences were held yesterday be- tween frefght officials of the Burlington, Unfon Pacific and Elkhorn to ascertain just the position in which they stood, and it was remarked by one of the men, a party to the conference, that never had e seen so com- plicated a situation regarding freight rates in_the west Yesterday the general officors of the Mis- souri Pacific Railway company telegraphed all of its agents the following freight rates, which are a heavy cut from the old schedules “Effective May 14, we will establish the fol- lowing rates from St. Loui st St. Louls and Carondelet to Colorado common points, Denver to Trinidad, inclusive: Lumber, car loads, 17 cents per 100 pounds; coke, car load lots, 20 cents; cercal products, ear loads, as per western classification, 20 cent coal, car load lots, 20 cen l load lots, 45 cents. Bastbound dry hid and sheep pelts, car load lots, minimum welghts of 10,000 pounds, cents per 100 pounds. “Effective on the same date, we will es- tablish the following rates to Colorado com- mon points, Denver to Trinidad, inclusive, from Mississippi common points: freights, 80 cents; second 88, § c third class, 50, and fourth class, 40 cents per 100 pounds, From Chicego and common points to Colorado points above mentioned the first class rate will ba $1; second class, 75 cents; third class, 60, and fourth class, 45 cents."” “PLUG HA Missourl morn- nts; " TO TAKE HOLD, Presidents Will Conslder the Rate Matter at a Mceting Next Week. CHICAGO, May 11.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—President Hughitt of the North- western started a movement today which is nearly certain to result in the meeting of western presidents next week. An urgent request was sent President Reinhart of the Santa Fe to return as early as possible from California. The meeting is called to con- sider the almost complete demoralization of western freight rates and to suggest a prompt remedy. It is generaly believed the presidents will find a way out of the trouble, In any event the meeting of presidents will take the responsibility from the should of trafic officials and put it on the pres dents, where it belongs. Western lihes were engaged today in low- ering rates to interior points to conform to the long and short haul clause of the in- terstate act. This caused wholesale redic- tions, especially in trasmissouri territory, on account of low mates from the Missouri to Colorado. To many points In Kansas and Nebraska the reductions range from 60 to 5 per cent of present rates. In view of the early mecting of presidents to consider the situation the reduced rate territory was not extended today. All now depends on that meetiug, ulizing Live k Rates. Unless something is done faighty soon South Omaha will feel the effect of the re- duced rates on live stock in more than one respect. Under existing conditions Chicago can come into the South Omaha markets and buy live stock alongside the local buyer, the rates being largely advantageous to the city by Lake Michigan. Yesterday Union Pacific officials had up the question of equal- izing the rates between Kansas City and Omaha on the St. Louis and Chicago basis, that Omaha might be able to g on the Kan sas City markets and recover what she will lose to Chicago through the manipula- tion of rates by the lowa roa While nothing was doue it was generally thought that Omaha would get relief in a few days, the Missourl Paclfic undoubtedly being in favor of protecting South Omaha intercsts. There is In the present involved situation the basis for a v hot fight, and the chances are that there will be protests going up that will be heard all over the country. Already the business men of Omaha are experlencing the most intense interest and watching the fluctuating tariffs like hawks, for it means to them, if Chicago and St. Louis can come into their territory, the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the shrinkage in the value of goods. It is learned that the Colorado-Utah Freight assoclation has been forced by the rate war between roads running east to cancel all commodity rates between Colo- rado and Utah points, and this action has entailed a loss of nearly $750,000 on Denver alone. Omaha cannot help but be simi- larly affected under the present chaotic condition, diin 0.

Omala, Wednesday, May 16. el e Sea Power. The problem of the sea power in the history of the twentieth century will be of amazing interest. Already the saucy frizates of the period of 1812 and the swift war steamers of 1861 are nearly as obsolete as the galley of Lepanto, and naval fleets are made up of immense battleships of steel, cruisers for commerce destroying, and torpedo boats of incredible speed All of these vessels are packed with intri- cate and powerful machinery, and their cost is enormous. Although they seem indestruc- tible, the development-pf mammoth artillery, terrible projectiles and frresistible explosivs renders the outcome of a naval battle ver doubtful. The approach of a single dynamite gun on the Brazilian coast racently caused the collapse of the insurgent fleef. When disaster comes the floating fortresses be- come huge coffins for their crews. During the last century the mariners of Englnad re- joiced whenever they heard that the French were building fine new frigates, becaue sooner or later they were certain of captur- ing them. No longer does this confident fecling prevail, and the launching of a great steel battleship at Toulon or Cherbourg alarms the tight little isle. For the coming naval wars will not be so much contests between men as between machines, re- doubted decks, dynamite shells, torpedoes and other mysterious and terrible device So incalculable is the financial cost of these engines of destruction that already European statesmen are discussing the possibility of an international compact under whose terms the bullding of these fortress-ships may be suspended. Farragut once wisely said that he should prefer a fleet of ships of oak, manned by hearts of iron, to ships of iron with hearts cf oak. In the bankrupting race for naval power the United States is advancing with the and her battleship: ‘Massachusetts, “Oregon’ and “Indiana,” with many othe formidable vessels—are afloat or far ad- vanced in construction. It was a matter of great interest to millions of people from the remote inland states to see the fac- simile of these great engines of war dis- played at the Columbian fair, with the calm waters of Lake Michigan rippling around hef: Even the vagaries of Governor Waite will hardly suffice to bring Admiral Ben- ham's fleet up the Platte river, and this battleship, “Ilinois,” afforded to the prairi: people their only chance of seeing what a three-million dcllar battleship was like. From a few rods distant no one could have told this construction on piles from a floating fortress; there were the turrets and guns, the torpedo nets and tubes, the conning tower and military masts, and the battery of 13-inch rifled cannon and rapid firing, gatling and torpedo guns. Here, also, dwelt a crew of blue jackets from the regular navy, with their gun and boat drills, torpedo exercises and practice with the range-finders search lights, and the general discipline of the war squadrons.

Tukey was made president by a unani- mous vote and expressed his thanks for this testimonial of confidence on the part of the other members of the board. W. R. Adams was re-elected superintendent and Guy R Doane secretary. The vice presidency went to Alfred Millard. The question of sularies was left over until the next me:ting, as Mr. Redfield wished to become more familiar with the affairs of the board before voting | on_the subject.
