MORGAN PUMPS HIM
Huntington Has a Peculiar Style Of
Answering Questions.
IN THE SENATE COMMITTEE
The Railroad Magnate Says His
Enemies i'm California Are an
Unoanny Crowd-M ethods OF
the Central Pacific.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Hearing on the
refunding of the Pacific railroads deot
by the senate committee on PACING
roads continued to-day. Senator Nor
gan continued his inquiries concerning
the destruction of papers of the FL
nance & Contract company, the exam
nation resulting in sharp passages be-
tween Morgan and Huntington. Nor
gan intimated he believed the papers
were burned for the purpose of destroy
ing proof of individual liability or
stockholders. Huntington insisted that
they had been destroyed in cleaning
out the room because the business for
which the company had been organized
was closed. He said he suggested to
Mark Hopkins that the books he de-
stroyed, but did not remember that
there had been any reference in his
conversation with Hopkins TO the
clause in the California constitution
regarding personal liability of stock
holders Such a matter would, he
said have been referred to the legal
department of the road.
Senator Morgan-Did any lawyer ad-
wise you to destroy these papers?
huntingdon think not. 1t was q
mere casual matter. We did not re-
gard it as serious. ..e..f
Morgan-It becomes serious here. I
should like very much to have the
books here now.
huntingdon should like very much
for you TO have them, but in view OF
the fact that they are not in exist
ence, l don't see how in the world you
are going to get them.
haf do tn ha Calffnr-
MIA memorial. Huntington said II ema-
mated from the Sutro meeting, but. he
declared, 1t was not half as earnest as
was Sutro when he (Sutro) told him
Huntington he would fight him IL he
did not build a road out to his (SutrQ's)
place, where he had a saloon and gam
bling house He said these people who
were fighting him in California were
about as uncanny crowd as farmer
ever found in his hen house"
The examination was then turned
into an inquiry as to the payment OF
the Contract & Finance company In
the construction of the Central Pa
cific and of the organization and opera
ton of the Western Development COM
pany and Pacific company composed
largely of Central Pacific men engaged
In building other roads in California
At one time during this branch OF
the inquiry, Morgan sought to confine
Huntington's replies to definite lines.
Frye interfered to say the witness
should be allowed to answer in his own
! way.
II want him to answer" replied
| Morgan. That is what l am trying to
| get him to do but l am going to con-
| duct this examination exactly to my
| taste until the committee stops me-"
| Questioning in this connection de-
veloped that Central Pacific organic
! ers had built three roads in California
connected with the Central Pacific and
had bought about II which failed.
! Huntington said the roads built cost
about $4,000 a mile and the construc-
ton companies had been paid with
bonds which were issued by the Cen
trial Pacific company.

NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR OFFICES.
TALK OF ADDING TWO STORIES TO THE
GRAND CENTRAL STATION-PLANS
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

For long time the fact has stared the officials
of the New-York Central Railroad in the face that
the Grand Central Station did not provide adequate
room for offices 1t has been limited that the cor
poraton would branch out toward the west and
take in the vacant lot bounded by Madison ana
Vanderbilt ayes and Forty-third and Forty-fourth
sts and then also secure and build upon the site
now occupied by the Holy Trinity Church. This
story has been repeatedly denied. although the Of
ncials of the road have not denied that they were
seeking for some means OF charging the station and
providing better office room.
1t was reported yesterday that plans were in
course Of preparation for the addition Of two full
stories 10 the office part of the Grand Central Sta
ton. at Forty-second-st and Nanderbilt-ave. Work
according to this report. to be begun early IN
the spring When H. Water Webb. third vice
president of the Central road, asked about the

nothing decided upon as yet. We have been dis

nothing Whenever anything is decided proper no.
