INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY
of stockholders for the company's
debts, Mr.. Huntington said that he did
not believe they were liable; land, he
added, the fact that those fellows say
we are liable makes me stronger in the
belief that we are not"
Mr. Huntington declared that he had
no interest in any of the contracts for
building the Central Pacific, but he
was interested somewhat in the con-
tract and finance company, as were his
three railroad associates, Charles
Crocker, Marc Hopkins and Leland
Stanford He could not say what the
Central Pacific had cost. but after a
great deal of questioning Mr. Hunting
ton admitted that the contract and fin
ance company had received all the
stock and bonds of the company for
building the road. These, at par value.
were worth S115.00000O on their face.
and he thought the cost of the road
was about $4,000, 600 or 100000, 900. The
assets would not, however, have paid
the companys debts. Mr.. Huntington
said he thought the books of the con-
tract company had been destroyed as
was the paper.
At the conclusion CT the hearing Sen
ator Brice expressed dissatisfaction at
the wide range the investigation was
taking but Senator Morgan said that
his purpose was to ascertain whether
congress could legislate so as to pro-
vide for the sale of the roads or for
proceedings through the courts by
means of a foreclosure.
The hearing will be continued to-
morrow.

THE OBJECT

of Senator Morgan's questioning of G.
P Huntington, president of the South
ern Pacific, who was next called, was
to bring out the facts as to the ability
of the Southern and Central Pacific
roads to control the traffic of the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Huntington was inclined
to be evasive and declared that the
question of rates and competition by
the Canadian Pacific, Northern Pacific
and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
would determine.
Senator Morgan then directed his in
quiries to the ascertainment of the
transportation lines controlled by the
Southern Pacific, under the Kentucky
charter, the result being to show that
the company controlled railroad lines
through an exchange of stock from
New Orleans via San Francisco to
Portland, Ore, and owned not only a
line of steamers from New Orleans to
New York, put had business arrange
ment from New Orleans to Europe
The Kentucky company flad, Mr.
Huntington said, issued stock amount

change for capital stock in other COM

in that connection. Mr.. Morgan said
that he had proposed to find a way
out of preventing the recurrence of any
such disgraceful state of affairs in
connection with the Pacific roads, but
when Senator Gear, chairman of the
committee, asked how he proposed to
accomplish that desirable result, Mr..
Morgan replied that he would enlighten
the committee in an executive session.
Mr.. F. B. Thurber read paper in

and IT. Peter.
With apologies for a few changes
made in the story, Butte poet and hui
morist. clips the following from New
York paper and submits IL as appro-
pirate and a good thing:
An old oMntana boomer died (no mat
ter what day and dete), and when ne
reached the portals, spied st. Peter SIT
ting at the gate. From out beneath MS
shaggy brows the good saint eyed the
coming guest, and with true Chester
fieldian bows his honor of the saint ex-
pressed He said he had grown tired
below his brain was worried with lts
cares; the struggle was hard one, so
he thought he'd climb the golden stairs.
st. Peter asked the man his name ms
occupation when down below, ms
church, his creed, from whence ne
came. and then, with indiscretion rank
ne'er dreaming Of the fruit twould
bear, he asked the disembodied crank
how things in young Montana were

ears were soon assailed with widest
anthems ever sung He talked of leads
and shafts and veins, of tunnels, stones

was blue With growing eloquence he
sped along the oratoric track, with ges-
lures of both hand ana mead, ana III
quent bowling of the back till Peter 5
ears began to ache and that tired feel

tanan spake his little piece with added
vim. At last forbearance ceased TO De
a virtue. and the saint arose, believing
that his guest would see the interview
was at a close. Then grabbed he Peter
by the robe and talked and talked
again, until the patience of Job would
not have stood the trying strain In
desperation Peter threw the golden
gateway wide ajar, and said unto him,
IF you'd view the heavenly glories,
there they are" The old Montanan
stepped inside, gazed on the streets OF
shining gold and in a business manner
eyed the building of inequality mold.
The dazzling beauties one and all he
studied; then, with shake OF head ana
concerted Western gall, turned TO the
waiting saint and said: Just as de-
scribed in the Holy Book and ] confess
it's mighty cute, but l just want TO say

neck and near the bottom Of the spine
gave him one vigorous, sanity KICK
and shot him down the dark decline,
and as the body downward sped, old
Peter gave his ears a rub, and. with
most touching pathos, said: Il pity

Col. 7. r. Dolman has returned from

Seven plans were submitted. The law
provides that the building must be large
enough to accommodate 50. but only three
Of the plans complied with this provision.
Colonel Dolman. who is president OF the
board. urged that this provision be dis
regarded. favoring a building which
would have better accommodations for
fewer men. He opposed 'herding the
old soldiers together. a smaller building
would, in his opinion. accommodate all
the old soldiers sent there until such a
time as the board would have more mon
ey at its disposal. Mr.. Dolmdn was.
however. voted down. the other members
Of the board considering that IL was not
optional with them. the law on the sub
ject being mandatory.
The plans which were accepted were
those furnished by Architect c. s. Hare
of Helena. These plans provide for a
commodious two-story building. ON the
first floor, according TO the description IN
the Helena Independent. there will Toe a
dormitory 35NlS feet which can Zoe used
as a hospital; hallway. dining room

tories At the front OF the building will
