MORTON TRAPPED
Interstate Commissioner Prouty
Uncovers Violation OF Law
WHO is JOSEPH p. TRACEY /?
In%yestigstIon shows that the salt Rate
Dot Of Hutchinson, Kan, Has Been
Manipulated by II a A Railroad

The sensation of the hearing in the
Investigation of the salt rates out of
Hutchison. Kan. was furnished by the
testimony OF Mr.. Joy Morton. presi-
dent and owner of the Hutchinson
CKan.) Salt company. and brother Of
Paul Morton of the Santa Pc. The fact
had been established In prcvicps testi-
mony hat IS per cent of the through
rates from Hutchinson to Kansas city
on bulk salt was paid to- the ~. q A..
II. railroad. II was yet asserted. rot
outstanding the apparent identity of
the two directorates. that the II. *.
salt company and the II. & T.. Il rail
road were distinct corporations owned
by different persons. and that the II. X.
salt company got no benefit Of the di-
vision Of rates between the tr%anspoita-
ton companies.
Joy Morton VAS put on the stand for
the defense. He lives in Chicago and
Is president of the ". *. salt company
and the II. Il A. X. railroad Said his
salt company receives no rebates from
the railroads. Mr.. Morton went into
the story of the organization Of the IL.
a. A. X. railroad. whose purpose. he
said, al to admit his salt company
into the field Of the Frisco railroad.
Said the original plan to build TO
Kechi was abandoned owing to cost Of
r~ight-of-way. and negotiations were be-
gun to get use of Santa Zee tracks to
Burton. The whole scheme fell
through upon the merger of the Frisco
and Rock Island. His company was
then able to get Frisco cars and there
was no further need of the line he had
proposed to build.
The examination Of Mr.. Morton was
taken in hand by Commissioner Prouty.
After a few preliminary questions
drawing out the statement that Mr..
Morton and Mr.. Frank Vincent were
chiefly responsible for the Hutchinson
n Arkansas River railroa., Mr.. Morton
was asked:
Who Is Joseph p. Tracy? The
witness became a trihe disconnected
and finally admitted that Mr.. Tracy
though he had a few affairs Of his own.
was one Of Mr.. MOrton's trusted lieu
tenants In business. He also confessed
that all of Mr.. Tracy's holdings were
held in trust for some one else. A few
moro direct interrogatories, which
sought the heart Of the case with the
skill OF a. master. and Mr.. Morton ad-
mitted that Mr.. Tracy was the trustee
for the same interests whom he. Joy
Morton. represented in the salt bust
ness.
As Mr.. Morton replied to this ques-
ton. 1t was apparent to every one in
the crowded our room that the case
vas at an end. The point the inde-
pendent operators had been trying to
establish was made. 1t was all over
but the "buryin'."
Commissioned Prouty announced that
the case would be left open for testi-
mony to be filed by the various roads
AZ to the amount of money paid to the
Hutchinson & Arkansas River railroad.
A further hearing is possible in Chi
caGo. No decision is probable before
the first OF the year. II is possible
that the interstate commerce commits
sion may begin prosecution Of the rail-
way officials and the officials of the salt
company under the Elkins act.
