When Senator Morgan of the Pacific
Railway Committee was grilling Hunting
ton in the investigation that went on in
the Senate Tuesday, and which continues
to-day, it became necessary to ask Coils
how much money he was worth when he
began to amuse himself with the pastime
of building and operating railroads.
Mr.. Huntington's answer was amusing,
inasmuch as California is full of people
who have known him since he ran his
hardware-store in Sacran ento before the
war began. His wealth at that time was
not enormous, and old residents scoff at
the statement that he even enjoyed a COM
Portable income. The dispatches that have
appeared Ill THE CALL relative to the mat
ter of the Pacific railway inspection have
contained great many OF Coils P. Hunt
ington's Misrepresentation, but none so
palpably ridiculous and misleading as the
one quoted above.
A well-known San Franciscan, who was
one of the original incorporators of the
Southern Pacific road, was approached on
the matter last night.

D. Nichols has sent letter to THE CALL
