Answering Mr.. Needham, his attorney.
Col. Heistand told of an interview he had
with Major Hawks when the latter was
sick He talked with Major Hawks about
tariff and told him the company must take
chances as to the rates. Hawks reported
that the people in New York wanted the
company to deal in all kinds of hemp and
to have a capital of s5.ooO.0OO. Il told

"Why didn't you tell me about that?"
interposed Senator CockrelL ut is amaz-

There was quite a stir over that phase
of the examination, after which Col. Heis-
tand told of an understanding by which
he was to have 25 900 worth OF the stock.
Hawks $4,000 and Dudley & Michener
$4,000. Col. Heistand said as compensa-
ton for his stock he was to act as orig1-
nator of the company and was to try to
raise money for the project among capital
lists He did write to Col. Donovan, Clar-
ence NJ Bush and others seeking to raise
money.
II cautioned Maj. Hawks not to use my
name or Official position" said Col. Heis-
tand In answer to a question from Senator
Burrows. "I cautioned him In this regard
before Gen. Dudley. I regarded the project
as entirely legitimate. and 50 regard 1t
now. but feared lest the use OF my name
might be improperly Interpreted. We had
a fear of what is called yellow journalism
1t might have been taken up as a, sensa-
ton"
WAS there any intimatfon from you that
your connection with the company was
necessary that you might exert an in
fiuence on the War Department. asked
Senator Burrows. 49,
None whatever replied Col. Heistand.
WAS there any discussion about control
ling or cornering the market?" inquired Mr..
Needham-
Mot at all. until Hawks came to me with
the proposition to increase the capital to
$5,00o000 to deal in all kinds of hemp" re-
piled Col. Heistand.
