HEARST AFTER KNOX
Wants Attorney General to Pro.
duCe Coal Testimony.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 22.-"The
attorney general has been brooding over
that evidence like an old hen on a door
knob for eighteen months. He has not
acted in any way and won't let anybody
take 1t away from him. -
Representative William Randolph
Hearst made this statement before the
house committee on the judiciary today
In arguing for favorable report on his
resolution calling on the attorney general
for the evidence against the anthracite
coal carrying railroads.
The precise manner an which the anti
trust law was being violated, as claimed
by Mr.. Hearst, was when 1t became
known to the six coal carrying roads that
the independent coal mine operators con-
templated building a road of their own
to tidewater. To prevent this the roads
bought the property of Simpson & Wat
kins, owning eleven collieries, the largest
of the Independent operators. They also
bought the Temple Iron company capt.
Sit, 900, 900, guaranteeing per cent an
nual interest on this capitalization. The
price of coal in New York was then
raised so cents a ton, netting an increased
annual earning of 10000, 00O.
Representative De Almond, or MIS-
souri,, maintained that the country ought
TO know why the attorney general did not
proceed in the matter Mr.. Hearst said
it was impossible for him to secure the
report Of the district attorney.
The committee offered the Hearst reso-
luton to a subcommittee consisting Of
Representatives Powers, of MaSsachu-
sets; Thomas Of Iowa, and Smith, of
Kentucky, for further consideration.

Statement Is issued by the
Kansas City Southern.

NEW YORK, April 22-The following
authoritative statement has been issued
concerning the recent meeting of the
directors of the Kansas City Southern.
Mr.. George J. Gould did not retire as
vice president at the request of the
Dutch or other stockholders. On the con-
trary Mr.. Gould at the directors meet
ing a year ago expressed his desire to
retire from the vice presidency, and 1t
was solely upon his own insistence that he
was not reelected.
Nh Max Pam has not retired as an
official of the company The president de-
string to have that part of the legal de-
partment relating to the operation of the
railroad in direct contact with him at
Kansas City, the office of general counsel
was abolished and the office of consulting
counsel created. Mr.. Pam was thereupon
elected consulting counsel Mr. Sielcken
was not elected vice president of the
Kansas City Southern Railway company
at the request Of the Dutch holders OF
securities, but upon the suggestion of
MI. Hartman.
There is no controversy or conflict
concerning the property between the pres
ent management and the holders of the
voting trust certificate. No complaint or
dissatisfaction has been expressed by any
body authorized to speak on behalf of the
Dutch holders.
THE subject of making a supplemental
bond issue at this time to acquire and
pay for new extensions and equipment
had been under discussion for some time.
The matter was fully investigated and
considered AT the meeting the president
repeated that the company was in po-
sitiOn to dispense with the making of any
additional bond issue for the present, in
which conclusion the directors unanimous
" cOncurred.
The voting trust continues in force I'M
til April 1905, and the voting trustees
are: Louis Fitzgerald, John w. Gates,

President Bo will announce that the
sale has been completed, and instead of
asking for authority to execute a fu-

ratify the contract Of sale which the
officers Of the company have already

1t is confidently believed that the
completion Of the sale before the meet

the action taken by the highest officers
