The Railroad Investigation


 President Watrous made the concluding argument for the Consolidated road before the Legislature committee on the Goodwin inquiry in Representatives hall yesterday afternoon. Much interest was shown and there was large attendance. The argument was of 8 very able character and was listened to with marked attention. The whole matter of the railroad returns of the road was ex- haustively reviewed, showing in a very clear and forcible light that there was no discrep- ancy between the returns made to the stock holders and to the railroad commissioners, and that there was no ground for the in- quiry. Mir Watrous' remarks elicited hearty applause. He was followed by Hon. William c. Case, who claimed that the road was inn properly using its franchise and sharply questioned the returns, and paid a tribute to MT. Goodwin as an honest investigator, also calling in question the statement of Vice President Clark on the $500, 900 item. Con- tinuing he said that the railroad commission CTS had stood in the shadow of this great corporation and how they could permit the returns of the Consolidated road, such as had been made, he could not conceive. MT. Case was also applauded at the close.
