The roads have worked in harmony for twen- iy vears and the change in the holder of the securities would make no difierenc: It can make no difference and will wmake no_difference.” Hill talked vigorously and earnestly. At the close of the session, when Chairman Knapp offered to allow Hiil to leave for New York if the latter felt that staying Hill declarea that his time b ed to the commission and that be de- in cvery way tc aid them to the extent of his ability. h, an - linapp thereupon =aid that Hill would be again called to the stand to-morrow morning. Hill and Harriman Arrive. Hill_and Harriman both reached Chi cago during the morning and Hill, accom- | panied by Grover, his attorney, came at | once before the commission. It is the expressed purpose of the com- mission to discover if possible what changes, if any, have been created be- tween the general public and railroads by on.of “associate management” of the latter: The Commissioners ‘desire to find out if the community of -interest idea has affected the rate situation in a way con- | trary to law or, as claimed, if it is likely to affect the stability and non-discrimina- tion of and in rates” for which the com- mission has long battled. Burlington Not a ‘Competitor. Darfus Miller, first vice president and | traffic manager of the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy, and former traffic man- ager of the Great Northern, was the first witness. In answer to questions by Day, attorney for the commission, Miller stated that the Burlington was absolutely inde- “its operations and in the making of rates.” “Have you recelved instructions from either Mr. Hill or Mr. Harriman in re- gard to making rates?’ Day asked. I have received none,”- the witness an- swered. Commissioner Prouty asked the witness to what_extent the Northern Pacific and Great Northern were competitors,” and Miller put the competitive traffic at about 2 per cent. He declared that the Bur- lirgton was not a competitor of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. He said the two northern roads had made fre- quent agreements to maintain rates, but said he knew of no penalty having been imposed for violation of agreements. Stubbs Tells of Traffic Methods. J. C. Stubbs, traffic manager of the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific, followed Miller. Stubbs stated that E. H, Harriman was chairman of the board of directors of both roads, but that he was appealed to only’ in extraordinary cases. Stubbs sald no such cases had arisen | since his. appointment and that he had | proceeded under his general instructions from Harriman. He said that rates gen- erally had been fairly well maintained, but that there had been demoralization in Utah and Colorado. He declared that the Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Sarta Fe were competitors. < “Ts _there no agreement between you and the Atchison road as to a divisiop of are over 8 and several over 70 | d then it was proposed | | in Chicago would inconvenience him seri- | | | { cific and the Southern Pacific were com- | petitors, although he admitted that he be- TRAFFIC MANAGER OF THE ROADS, WHO GAVE INTEREST PRESIDENT OF THE NORTHERN SECURITIES COMPANY AND THE 1 NION AND SOUTHERN PACIFIC G TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. but this is due to the fact that about 50 per cent of the crop is tributary to each iine.” The witnesgaverred that the Union Pa- | the at this ow- | ieved the Union Pacific control Southern Pacitic. He deciared control could have no effect on rat ing to the existence of competition. “A look at the map will show you what this competition is,” Stubbs observed par- enthetically. ‘ Further questioning by Commissioners Prouty and Clements merely served to strengthen Stubbs in his assertion that the joint ownership of his roads had made absolutely no difference in the mainten- ance or reduction of rates. Hill’s Views Are Heard. J. J. Hill took the stand at 2 o'clock. Much time was consumed with rouftine ex- aminations to show his official relations with the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington companies. Hill was questioned in regard to the re- lation of the Northern Secprities Com- pany, the Burlington, the Northern Pa- cific and the Great Northern to each other. He said that the Northern Securi- ties Company owned no stock in the Chi- cago, Burlington and Quincy Railway Company (the new company). but owned about half the stock of the Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy Rallroad Y (the old corporation). ‘He explained that the new company was really a union of the three lines which formed the old com- pany and operated the latter by virtue of a lease. The half of the stock of the old company not owned by the Northern Se- curities Company, the witness said, was owned by the Northern Pacific Company. In the new company, he said, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific were the chief stockholders, having issued a joint bond to cover the purchase price of the C., B. and Q. Rallroad Company. These two companies, as stockholders, elect the directors of the Burlington. “There were approximately 19,000 stock- holders in the old Burlington, said Hill. “It was impossible to buy” the stock, amounting to about $10,000,000, in the open market, and another f!nn was adopted, resulting in_the sale of the property liké a piece of regl estate. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern issued $216,- 000,200 joint bonds to pay for it. Reasons for the Purchase. In explaining his reasons for the pur- chase of the Burlington, Hill went back to the time when he found it necessary 10 offer a low rate to the timbermen of Oregon and Washington” in order to get loads for cars which had originally gone West laden with merchandise. He said: *“In order to put ourselves in a safe position we had to buy the Burlington road; it gave us the market for our Wests ern stuff that we had to bring back and it afforded us a_connection in the East with all the producers.” He also dwelt on the paramount impor- tance of the coal problem in connection with the operation of raflroads. “We were,” he said, “‘far from coal and far from a market for our timber. We were at the mercy of a possible ' coal famine, such a famine as would be exist- ing now were it not for the unusually mild wecather. We needed more than a conneciion we - needea a connection which ‘we could control. I was familiar with the railroad situation. I Xnew that the Burlington reached tne prairies where i 1s needed, and [ knew that by the ;urfimg On we could have a connection vith i vhich would put us cneaper than any - cverything consia- cred. A {riend of mine, a neignbor. told me that for a lumber market he would rather have the Siuate of lowa than any cther five Stat erhaps you can teil me of a good points better than Know of none.” Day attempted to show by a long line of questions that the real reason for tak- ing over the Burlington was to form a sort of trust, whereby Northwestern rates would be absolutely In the hands of Hili and his friends. 7o this Hill reits erated his previous statement concerning the purchase of the “Q.” Did Not Want the St. Paul. “Is it true that before you purchased the Burlingion you were proposinj G the §t. Paui 7 Ry No, sir. An offer was made about sell- ing the St. Paul and 1 simply told them it could not be done, for two reasons, one because it was against the law, and the Other that [he‘Sll.l Panl gave us Jothing e practical ad no would buy ite o i : before a fixed price was laid on Paul's stock were you or your ,Bot endeavoring to secure the on sate g pece to_fuel.

He declared that he had issued no instructions to the offi- cials of the Burlington, but when they had come to him ‘“for advice” they had re- cefved it. Oecaslonally he had volunteered adyice and “thought” they would listen The witness then entered into a lengthy dissertation on the effects of competition as he had observed it. Commissioner Clements repeatedly questioned his asser- tion that competition does not lower rates or tend to lower them, but each time the veteran waived his -eyeilxnnes emphati- cquF and reiterated his statcment. he railroad is a sort of mercurial in. dication of the state of the country tribu- tary to it,” he declared. “If is poor the railroad will be poor. A low rate is not the result of competition; it merely shows how low a rate the railroad can afford fo give, Do you suppose that a man in absolute control of a railroad, hav- ing no competition, could raise rates to an »mgust degree and prosper?

Zi—After the excit- ing scenes of yesterday the proceedings to-day in the trial of James W. Prown iug in Lookoujpseemed tame in campari- son.

A long argument followed and was still on when recess was declared. Trying to Impeach Courtwright. The entire afternoon was devoted to ex- amining witnesses for the defense from Round and Big valleys as to the general reputation of Robert Courtwright, one of the witnesses for the prosecution. for truth, honesty and integrity. Many wit- nesses were examined and without ex- ception they testified as to his unrelia- bility, Some declared they would not be- lieve him under cath. The witnesses were questioned as to the reputations of many of the men now imprisoned here, charged with complicity in"the lynching, and the general opinion was that the men were good citizens. The court would not per- mit testimony as to the likelthood of the prisoners taking part in the lynching. Some of the witnesses admitted being op- posed to the prosecution, but they in- variably said that this opposition would not affect their testimony. % The usual small rows between counsel and spicy remarks from the bench helped to enliven the afternoon session. The form of Raker's questions was sometimes cbjectionable and the court aecused him of injecting words into his interrogations for the benefit of the jury. L e e e N o We have just granted a reduction in the Northwest, a considerable reduction, yet there was no competition to force it. Vyhy did we do it? Because it is for the good of the people in our territory, and there. fore beneficial to us also.
