Cakes, of the Northern Pacific railway,
testified today before the house public
lands committee investigating the leases
of the Yellowstone Park association.
His testimony in regard to his knowl-
edge OF issues of stock to the amonnt OF
$4,000, which. it was alleged, was set
apart for Russell Harrison, stated
that Waters came to Washington
to assist in getting the leases.
He, however, expressed doubt as to get
ting access to the interior department,
but was certain this could be secured
through Russell Harrison, whom he
(Waters) knew. and in compensation
for this Harrison was to have some stock
in the company set aside for him.
Cakes said he was confident Harrison
was ignorant of the fact that any stock
was set aside for him. Certificates for
Harrison were prepared but not issued,
on the ground that the leases were OBJ
tanned without difficulty.
