Railroad Contingency.

In order to remove any doubt as to
the electric railway being a part of
the light proposition, HI. E. O'Neill
has added to his contracts the pro-
vision, that If the road is not built
according to the requirements of the
franchise. the contract shall become
null and void. In all contracts taken
by Mr.. o'Neill, personally, the para
graph is stricken out r-quiring the
approval of the contract by the gen
eral manager. This seems to cover
all objections that have been raised
to the contracts to date.

other specific questions as to classif-
cation of rates.
Mr.. Hill said his coal rates had for
several years been lower than those OF
The Reading or the LackaWanna rail-
roads, and Mr.. Day said he believed
there had been some complaint to that
eject in the east, whereupon Mr.. Hill
suggested:
Il have for a long time wondered why
the gentlemen in charge of looking
after such matters have not taken some
action in regard TO it,
Mr.. Hill said rates were already re-
duced as traffic increased. which HAD
followed the Burlington purchase. He
had made no attempt to influence rates
on the Burlington.
The Coal Traffic.
Mr.. Day next went into the coal traf-
nc and drew out the statement that
better rates on coal were possible be-
cause of the control of the Burlington.
He feared that there might be a fuel
famine in the northwest, not because
or the anthracite strike, but because
or the inability of railroads to trans
port sufficient coal from the Ohio and
West Virginia fields TO supply all needs.
The acquisition of the Burlington had
not diverted traffic from other lines TO
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern, but had actually created new traf-
nc for them. All railroads have re-
Gently increased their business, but no
Others had developed TO so great an
extent as his line. The effect on the
Burlington, if the Burlington had be-
come the property Of the Union Pa
clflc, would have been so serious that
he would recommend a sale at once.
1t would not have given hard compe-
ution, but would have absolutely pre-
vented the getting Of business in the
middle west. 1t was necessary to reach
that section and the Burlington was
the best means of reaching il.
Asked TO define the word raid"
used in his testimony. Mr.. Hill said
il was the purchase of stock in the
open market, but insisted that the pur-
chase OF the Burlington by the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern was
not raid but simply a sale by and
with the approval of the directors.
In answer to questions by Mr.. Young,
Mr.. Hill said he could not purchase the
Burlington or contract TO do so. and
that a corporate action of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific was
necessary. Mr.. Hill was then excused
and the hearing adjourned until to-
morrow.

J. ]. HILL UNDER
EXAMINATION
Explanation as to What the Term
RAID Means.
RATES HAVE BEEN LOWERED
UNION PACIFIC WAS TRYING TO
GoPBLE THE BURLINGTON.

OF. PAUL. Mimi. Oct 21.-When
y Special Examiner Ingersoll re-
sumed the hearing of the suit of
the United States against the so-called
railway merger. he announced that
but one session would be held today.
Solicitor General Richards Immediately
resumed the cross-examination of
President HIN of the Northern Secu-
rites and Great Northern Railway
companies, asking in regard to Mr..
Hilfs statement that one reason for
organizing the holding company was
to prevent danger of raids on stock.
Mr.. Hill explained that stock held by
holding company would be less on
the market.
How does il come about that the
Union Pacific holds about eighty mill
lions OF the Northern Securities COM
pany?"
THAT is a matter that does not con-
Germ us, but ii does concern YOU
Pressing the same line of questions
Mr.. Richards was told that Mr.. Harri-
man or anyone else who wished might
buy Northern Securities stock He did
not know that shareholders willing to
sell could not be found. Any stock
might be bought and purchasers usu-
ally could find those willing to sell. II
others desire TO buy Northern Securi-
ties stock they could only do so by
offering a high enough price.
I'VE have tried" he said. Ito make 1t
as difficult as We could fairly for such
raids TO prove successful"
Hill Doesn't Control.
II don't control who shall or might
own the stock. Some of the owners
who usually work together would be
slow TO sell without consulting their
associates. Out of 1000 or 1900
Northern Securities shareholders, l
know probably twenty-five or thirty.
The largest single holder Of
Northern Securities stocks, / under
stand, is Harriman-Or at least the is
sue of stock was To them some months
ago. The outstanding stock of the
Northern Securities company is some
where near 100000. 0O0. Hartman
might double his holding, but he would
have 10 pay a fair price for il if he
bought it. The real protection is the
union of the effort to develop the great
northwest business"
The next line of questions pertained
and was gone into considerably in de-
tail.
Mr. Hill insisted in answer to one Of
the questions that certain suggested
rates could not be considered and, so
far as he knew, were never considered,
because they were unlawful.

attorney for the interstate commerce
commission. Mr.. Hill said the Great
Northern railway owned no line of rail-
way of itself, having, however. many
lines under lease. The composition and
extent of these various lines was gone
into at some length. and also the forms
of lease by which the Great Northern
controls the lines of the st. Paul. Min

the coast TO ST. Paul and Duluth was
again taken up and Mr.. Hill said the
short haul was also affected by the
general reduction put into effect when
the Great Northern reached the coast.
Reduction of Rates.
1.-The reduction of rates. since the ae-
quirement of the Burlington. was not
an unusual thing" said Mr.. Hill. There
had been frequent. reductions of rates
on the Great Northern" He spoke
positively in regard TO the reduction on
the Great Northern. He believed 1t
applied TO substantially the same in
regard 10 the Northern Pacific. The
reduction on merchandise has varied
IN different sections and on different
classes, but was from 10 TO Is per cent.
On questions as 10 specific dates
when certain rates went into effect
and on what articles reductions applied
he referred the questioner to the sched-
ules. saying they could be better de-
pended on than his memory. SINH
lar answer was given TO numerous
