hearing on the Pacific reorganization
question before tue Senate COMMITTEES
% Pacific roads today, and brous ht
cut incidental reference 20 the posi-.
bility OF such aoandal In connection
with th0 Nicaragua canal.
Mfr. 4. Il. Thutber, chairman OF tho
national board Of trade committee on
railroad transportation, was before the
committee, aud Senator Morgan was
questioning him about the relative
probabilities OF corruption In the
scheme under government control and
under the management OF private In
dividuRls. Reference had been made 10
the Credit Mobilisr by Senator Morgan,
whose evident purpose was TO draw
from rhufbet au expression Of opinion
that tho Credit M0blllor scandal cJulu
never have occurred n tho entire dlfec-
iorship OF tho roads had boon composed
OF men appointed by the government,
when Senator Frye interrupted to say
that the Pacific roads would never
have been built II there had been no
Credit Mobilier.
"No more" he added, "than can the
Nicaragua canal be built without the
cooperation OF some company under
the plann proposed"
"Aa much M 1 am interested in the
NlcAraguan canal" replied Mr.. Nor
gau, al should abandon Its advocacy II
| believe II TO 10 true that II would DO
built under circumstances likely TO
create such y condition Of affairs as
grew out Of the building OF the Pacific
roads,"
MIR. ThuTber read n paper In opposi.
lion 10 government Ownership OF the
Pacific roads. Tue report upon which
II was based had, he eRid, been sub
United 10 the bohrd OF trade.
The Object OF Senator Morgan's
questioning OF q. T.. Huntington,
PRECEDENT OF the Southern Pacific,
who was next called, was to bring cut
the facts hs to the ability Of the South
ern and Central Pacific roads TO control
the traffic Of tho Union Pacific. Mr..
Huntington was Inclined 10 DO evasive,
and declared that the question OF rates
and competition by the Canadian Pa
citlc, Northern Pacific and Atchison,
Topeka d Santa Flo would determine.
AT the conclusion OF the hearing
Senator Briee expressed dissatisfaction
at the wide range the investigation
was taking, but Senator Morgan said
that his purpose was to ascertain
whether Congress could leglslate 10 hs
TO provide for the sale Of the roads or
Tor proceeding through the courts by
means ot q foreclosure.
The hearing viii be continued to-
morrow.
