John C. Stubbs, general traffic manager of the Harriman lines, occupled the whole day as witness before Sylvester C. Willlams, the special examiner by C. A. Severance, counsel for the government that the Unlon Pacific had stock ownership of the Oregon Short Line, which gave the former road a direct line from the Missourl river to Portland. “Yes, that is 80, the witness replied. On request, Mr. Stubbs produced figures showing the decrease in New York frelght | over the Sunset Line from 7 per cent of the total in 1891 to 39 per cent in 1901, the year of the merger.

This was because the distance to Portland from Omaha was greater than that from Omaha to San Francisco and' for this reason water transportation from Portland to San Francisco would not serve o cheapen | the haul and certainly would lengthen the time In transit. No shipper, he declared, would use this route, unless he got compensation in”re- dQuced rates, which the competitors of the Unlon Pacific would not permit.

Mr. Stubbs declared the Central Pacific officers certainly would resent an effort | of the Unlon Paclgic to, establish the Port- | land-San Franclsco wafer route and if the Union Pacitic did not stop would retallate | on It.

Louis R. Glavis continued on the stand under cross examination by John J. Ver- trees, attorney for Secretary Ballinger. Mr. Vertreps examined the witness al- most wholly ‘upon the documentary evi- | dence and it was necessary to read much of this anew in order that he might prop- erly frame his questions. This required much time and made the proceedings de- | cidedly dull. Mr. Glavis continued his tactis of yester- day of always coupling his answers with long explanations. Counsel for Mr. Bal- linger, protested once against this discus- siveness of the witness, but Glavis appealed to the committee and it was decided that he“eould make his explanations, however, he desired whether they were relevant or not. Glavis speaks with a decided drawl and some hesitation, and his long statements seem greatly to irritate Mr. Vertrees, while Attorney Brandels, representing the prose- cution sat by with a contented grin the whole day long. Suppoenaes were issued today for a num- ber of witnesses, announced, would give testimony as to the finding of twenty-four official letters, which had been missing in boxes left by Mr. Glavis in the grand jury room ‘of the federal building at Seattle, Mr. Vertrees devoted a large part of the the fact that when Glavis protested against the clear listing of the Cunninghem claims by telegram on January 22, 198, the order for clear listing was immediately revoked without walting turther explanation from Glavis and that this state of affairs has continued down to the present tim The inquiry will be continued tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Continuing, he said in| part: “In this great combat many forces are | actively enlisted to dispel ignorance, to| correct error and to uncover and pene- | trate stlll unknown realms.
