The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-01-29

When the second days inquiry by
the interstate commerce commission
into the community OF interest
combination of the great railways of
the northwest opened today, the
United States court room, where the
investigation was being held, was
crowded with we'll known railway
men from all the country, eager to
learn more of the details of the inner
workings of the gigantic Northern Sc
curities company from the master
mind that conceived it.
E. H. Hartman, who organized the
Southern Pacifc-Union Pacific COM
bination, and who was MI. Hills op-
ponent for the struggle of the North
ern Pacific-Burlington control, was
the first witness. When Mr.. Harri-
man went on the stand the line of
questioning by w. A. ney, counsel
for the commission, led up to state
ment of the great Wall street panic
last May, when Northern Pacific
shares went up to $1,000 Mr. Harri-
man had testified that the Oregon
Short Line, aided by The Union Pa
cific, had purchased abou' $78,000,300
of Northern Pacific stock, and that
the Union Pacific, through the voice
of its directors, controlled the South
ern Pacific. 1t was developed that
all this Northern Pacific stock was
held in the names of E. II. Hartman
and Winslow Pierce and was sold
last summer. An effort was made to
learn why the purchase was made
only to sell again. and this brought
from Mr. Hartman the statement
that he was glad to explain the So
called contest in the New York stock
exchange, which resulted in the Fam

Hill would be again called to the
stand at a future date.
In explaining his reason for the
purchase of the Burlington, Mr.. Hill
went back to the time when he found
it necessary to offer low rate to the
timber men of Oregon in order to
get loads for cars which had origi-
nally gone west laden with merchan-
disc. He said:
In order to put ourselves in safe
position we had to buy the Burling-
ton road; it gave us the market for
our western stuff that we had to
bring back, and it afforded us con-
nection in the east with all the pro-
ducers and it completed the condi-
tions necessary"
He also dwelt on the paramount
Importance of the coal problem in
connection with the operation of rail
roads.
I'VE were" he said, far from coal
and far from a market for our lum-
ber. We were at the mercy of a pos
sible coal famine, such famine as
would be eXising now were it not for
the unusually mild weather. We
needed more than a connection, we
needed a connection which we could
control. I was familiar with the rail
road situation. | knew that the Bur
lington reached the prairie, where
timber is needed and | know that by
the Burlington we could have a con-
nection with the coal mines which
would put us in a safe position in re-
spect to fuel Furthermore, the Bur
lington could be purchased $1,000 a
mile cheaper than any other granger
road, everything considered. A
friend Of mine, a neighbor told me
that for lumber market he would
rather have the state of Iowa than
any other five states Perhaps you
can tell me of road which reaches

sonville. H., yesterday got possession
of her three children whom she had
not seen for over year. put them on

city. AS it was feared the husband
might follow-her and as she was act

case last night in order that full oppor-
tunity might be given for her escape.
Some time ago there was trouble in
the family and one morning Carter
told his wife he was going to take
three of the children for drive. They
did not return by night and Mrs. Spen-
Ger realized she had been abandoned
and robbed of her children. Two
were left to her. Every effort was
made to trace the man, but he had COW
cred his tracks too we'll One of the
little ones at home died and Mrs Spen-
Ger was distressed over the three.
A few weeks ago a letter written in
scrawling hand reached the grand
mother in Jacksonville, complaining
of cruelty and telling where they were
living. The chief of police telegraphed
Marshal McMillin, who located the
man here working under the name of
X. W. Carter.
Carter has become well known here
as he threatened suit against the board
of education, sued Nick MatZ for as
saulting his son and had brought suit
against his wife for divorce and the
custody of the children. The suit was
brought under his right name and the
required publication was made in an
old town Spanish weekly paper. 1t

and Marshal McMillin saw il.

and the children, overjoyed to be with

suspected what had been done and

but he did not know that she had left
town. Thus far he has made no at

Officers Of the Navy.

Washington, June THE navy de-
partment this morning gave out the
following statement concerning the
court of inquiry which investigated the
case of the American officers arrested

The court of inquiry recommends the
trial by court martial of Lieutenant
John Dodridge, U. S. N; Captain Rob

ant Surgeon Robert Il. Ledbetter. U. s.
NJ, on the charge of unbecoming be-
havior in public and that no further
action be taken in the case of Cadet
James G.. Kruss, u. S. N, aad Private
Wilfred Langley, u. S. M. G. Admiral
Crowninshield has disapproyed the
opinion and recommendation OF the
court OF inquiry where IL is adverse to
the officers on ground there was not
suffic evidence.
There will be no further proceedings
in this case, according TO the present
intention of officials. The grounds
upon which Admiral CTowninshield dis
approved the finding, namely, INSULT
cheney of evidence, would not, II is be-
lieyed. give any cause for offense by
the Italian government. The admiral
does not find the Italian court erred,
but does find that situated as the chi
cago is. il Is not possible to secure evil
dence which would justify the assem-
bling of a court martial.

ITS ULTIMATl0N.
The Santa Fe Will Not Allow Strikers
to Return to Work.
STRIKERS HOLD MEETING.

The officers of the Santa Fe railway
have at last declared themselves. They
have taken no uncertain position in
regard TO the boilermakers here and at
Needles and have made a fiat footed
announcement OF Just whft they in
tend to do. The statement issued by
the officers is given below. From it's
reading it will be seen that the strik-
ing boilermakers here and at Needles
are discharged from the whole Santa
Fe system for all time to come. The
statement which reached here from
the Los Angeles conference yesterday
morning is as'fohows;
1T appears that the rate paid boil
ermakers at Needles is 371a cents an
hour. Winslow being the only other
division point where wages for SINH
lar work is as high on the whole
Santa F. system. The rate quoted is
21s cents per hour more than is gen
orally paid for this particular kind of
work. Recently the men at Needles
made a demand for 40 cents an hour.
The concession was refused and the
committee that waited on the SalTa
Fe division management was informed
that the 371a cent an hour rate was
being paid at Needles, and at Winslow
because of presumed undesirability of
those two stations. For a similar rea.
son. the Southern Pacific pays the
same rate in its shops at Yuma.
: ''In the meantime mechanic at San
BernarSino had been instructed to &C
temporarily from that place to Selig
man. In transmitting the order the
man affected was informed by mistake
that his transfer was permanent. He
declined to make the change desired
and his associates left their work
When the facts were explained to those
in charge. the dissatisfied employe was
told that his change was only a tenn
porary affair, Notwithstanding which
the men refused to work until further
demands were met.
Later the San Bernardino men in
formed the railway management that
they would be compelled to remain ouI
until the demands made by the boiler
makers at Needles had been compiled
with. This could not be conceded fol-
reasons that must be apparent, and al
no boilermakers could be obtained i
has been thought advisable to clos'
down the shops at San Bernardino anC
at Needles.
How long the lockout will be con
| tinued is problematical as we are de
| termined that the men now out shall
not return to work. Those men who's
| services are required have been mott
! fed. by their respective foremen, AM
the old hands and married men will
have, as far as possible, such work a
can be provided"

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June THE hang
ing in effigy of J. Pierpont Morgan, in
one of the streets of South Wilkes
barre, by crowd of men and boys was
the only incident to mar the stiffness
of the Wyoming valley this morning.
After the effigy was hung the crowd
cheered and pelted the object with
stones until the police came along and
dispersed the throng. All mining towns
are very quiet.
The news that President Roosevelt
could not find way clear to take a
hand in bringing about peace between
the miners and operators was received
with genuine disappointment. Today
marks the end of the fourth week of
the total suspension of coal mining and
the miners and employers are farther
apart than ever

today had long conference at the

much to do something toward settling

was decided upon. The president also
sent for Carroll d. Wright, commits

the situation, and also what might
properly be done by the government
looking to a settlement of the contro-
versy Probably other conferences
will be held and the president kept ad-
