New Jerseys Legislature to Probe
the Reading Deal.
MAGNATES TO BE SUMMONED.
Pennsylvania Authorities Will Take

Denies Published Statement of
Further Acquisitions.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb l8.-President
Mcleod, of the Reading railroad, was
seen today by Uuited Press representa-
tive and denied emphatically the pub
ished statement that the Reading road
had absorbed the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
The statement referred TO was pub
iished in a Pittsburg paper, and was as
follows:
private adVices have been received by
Pittsburg banker, which ere regarded
as thoroughly reliable, to the effect that
the Reading company has secured abso-
Lutte control of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and its numerous branches, and
also the New York and New England
Railroad company. The terms of the
agreement, lease, etc., were finally de-
termined upon by the great fnanciers
who have been negotiating the deal at a
conference in Philadelphia Wednesday
night, at which all the necessary papers
were.signed by the contracting parties.

NEW JERSEYS INVESTIGATION.

Rewding Officials to Be Called Be-
fore the Committee.
TRENTON, Feb. IS.-In the house Mr..
Lame. chairman of the special committee
appointed to investigate the Reading
ceal combination, offered resolution
authorizing the committee to issue sum-
monses, order papers and documents
produced and exercise whatever powers
might be necessary in the prosecution
of its work. The resolution was unani-
mously adopted. The leading officers of
the Reading, Jersey Central and Lehigh
Valley railroads are to be summoned to
appear before the house committee to-
morrow to tell what they know about
the combination
Assemblyman Tine has introduced
bill that is evidently intended to affect
the new coal combination so far as
freight rates go. and is probably part of
the attack that is to be made on the
Reading deal ON the part of the state
authorities. The measure provides for
the creation of railroad commission,
to be composed of the members of
the state board of assessors, who
will have control of the regulation
of the freight rates of railroads, and
shall have power to prevent unfair dis
elimination. This commission would
have the right to regulate the freight
rates for coal, and that it is doubtless
the ostensible purpose of the bill The
measure has been referred to the com
mittee on railroads and canals, which
has charge of the fight under way
against the coal deal.
