"In November, 1903, after the Cation law
was enacted, the trust, according to the
statement Of Mr.. Williams, went into
the hands of Thomas F. Ryan apd Ais
associates. who advanced s2,00o.00O to tho
road. This money was paid back In the
middle of 1904. but Mr.. Williams admitted
that, in the meantime, the Ryan party
had loaned "a still larger sum-we will
say $1,000. 600 for the purpose of argument
The Ryan party continued to control the
trust. They lnanifestly loaned the money
on condition that they should control the
policy of the road. Mr.. Williams having
got the money and surrendered the con-
troll now wants to get the control back
and have both. This Is the result OF It,,
and the only result.
"Nr. Williams himself formed the trust
for ten years. and would now step in
and abolish 1t because 1t was a ten-year
contract. And right here l call your at

though Mr.. Williams wants to abolish
the Ryan trust he admitted that If II
were stIll in the hands OF his friends
he would insist upon retaining it. In

the ground again from the point of view
of the other side.
Referring to voting trusts in general.
he declared that while sometimes they
were operated to the benefit OF all con-
cerned. they afforded. nevertheless. an
excellent opportunity for persons holding
no stock In railways TO get control of the

way Of securing contracts and bcnefitlng
other properties In which they we're In

to this latter feature of the situati

He pointed out that in addition to what
Judge Phlegar had called attention to Mr..
Williams had also stated that at the
time Mr.. Ryan had first secured control
OF the voting trust he held no stock IN
the road, that he had fatty announced
that he would hold on to the trust al

What Did Mr.. Ryan Mean?

II do not know what Mr.. Ryan meant
by that statement said Mr.. Waller,
"uness 1t was that through the trust he
was getting contracts and otherwise
manipulating the road for the benefit
of his other properties without regard for
the wishes of the stockholders of the
railway 1t Is very curious that he should
SO desperately hold on to n voting trust
when he had no stock in the road"
Mr.. Walker denounced the Caton law
which he declared was Outrageous and
disgraceful. and opened field infinite
in its possibilities for evil and mischief"
He did not believe that anybody, includ
ing the patron of the measure, realized
what he was really doing when he en-
acted the law.
At all events all were agreed that it
should be amended or repealed, and that
the operations of the trusts should be
limited. The Phlcgar bill would not per-
mi. the courts to deal with those con-
tracts made prior to 1908, no matter how
obnoxious they were. The Sears substi-
tute allowed the courts to pass upon all
contracts executed prior to the Cation
act, to consider them with reference to
all the questions involved, and to decide
according to the principles of equity and
Justice. If valid when made, the contract
would be valid still. No valid contract
had anything to fear from the Sears sub
stitute.
Within an hour of tho time for adj
journment 1t became apparent that the
discussion could not be completed at the
