Divine Right Baes
Is Witness Today.

NEW YORK. April 24.-President
Baer of the Reading road was called
on the stand today in the Hearst
case before the interstate commerce
commission upon the Investigation of
the charges that the coal-carrying
roads were violating the interstate
commerce law.
He admitted that he was president
of both the coal company and of the
railroad company and that the stock
of the Reading company had been
placed in the hands of a committee
of three, of which Morgan is the
head. The Reading company he ad-
mitted, controlled the affairs of the
railroad and the iron and coal COM
panies so far as the stocks of these
companies were concerned.
Baer said that the coal company
was not organized to evade any laws.
If it did in any way transgress the
law. he would be glad to have the
matter decided In the courts. He
admitted that he had prevented the
construction of a competing line into
the coal fields, but he maintained
that it was a Legitimate business
move. -.
IF we are sinners" Baer said, go
into the court and prove it. I'm dis
gusted with these sentimental gen.
tlemen who protest because men of
business seek to protect their own
interests"
