HARMON AND JuDsoN TO RETIRE
Recommendations in Santa Fe Case Re-
pected by Secretary Moody.

dispatch from Cincinnati, last night
says: Judge Judson Harmon, who was
engaged with F. N. Judson Of ST. Louis
by Attorney General Moody to investigate
charges that the Atchison, Topeka and
santa Fe railroad was granting rebates to
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. to-
day gave out the following statement. In
which he confirms the report that he had
terminated his commission with the gov
ernment.
AS the dispatch was given to the press
which asked me, in connection with Mr.
Judson, to undertake the duty of investi-
eating and reporting on the alleged re-
bates given by the Atchison Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, 1 think that there should
now be no mystery about what has be-
come of the matter.
Mr.. Judson and myself made the inves-
tigation and recommended that a certain
proceeding be taken. The Attorney Cen
eral disapproved our recommendations, as
he had a perfect right to do. The nature
and circumstances Of our appointment
seemed to impose degree of important
responsibility and we thought our duty
required US to adhere to our views We
have SO notified the Attorney General and
retired from further connection with the
matter.
In reference to the retirement of Messrs
Harmon and Judson from further employ
ment in the matter of the rebates found
by the interstate commerce commission to
have been given by the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway Company to the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company the At
torney General said:
There seems to be no good reason why
the exact point of difference between
Iessrs. Harmon and Judson and myself,
which led to their retirement from the
case should not be made public, and
complete statement will seasonably be
made. I wrote Mr.. Harmon some days
ago. suggesting that II a statement of that
difference should be made it ought to be
one upon which we agreed, and asking
his views as to how the statement should
best be made. This morning I received
telegram from Mr.. Harmon saying my let
ter had been received and that he was
now answering 1t.
Before making any further statement I
shall await Mr.. Harmon's answer"
