GAVE HIM STOCKS TOO
JOS. Boyer, Who Buys Coal for Railroad,
Tells Interstate Commerce Commits
sion About Generosity Of
Men He Patronized.

Philadelphia. Pa, June 7. The inter
state commerce commission continued
Its investigation yesterday Of the rela-
tiuns Of the Pennsylvania railroad oiii-
Gals and employees to various mining
companies III the hituminous coal dis
Itrict. The testimony Of Joseph Boyer
of Altoona, chief clerk in the office Of
the superintendent Of motive power.
was Of startling character. Al q
purchaser OF fuel coal he testified that
lie had received from five companies
allowances on coal used BY the railroad
for fuel purposes From the latter part
Of 1908 10 date he had received more
than $4,000. The money was first
sent to him III cash, but later cashiers
checks were sent to Cashier Hastings
OF tile Second National bank, Altoona,
and placed on deposit for Boyer.
The companies which made him the
allowances were the Graf coal company,
the Clarified 4 Granton coal company,
the Dunkirk coal company and Thomas
Blythe & co. The Graft coal company
allowed him cents per ton, ard the
Clearticld a Granton company gave him
a share in the profits, which amounted
to not less than cents per ton. Blythe
4 company gave him 3 cents per ton.
Asked why he Disseminated in favor
|of Blythe a company, lie replied that
he did not discriminate. as the money
came to him without solicitation or
any effort on his part. He believed that
the money had been paid in the same
manner to his predecessors in office, and
believed that he was only following the
custom of the department.
Mr. Boyer said that for the money
he received from the coal companies
he did what he could for them" Asked
to explain this, he said he distributed
the orders for fuel among these COM
panies to the best advantage.
What did MIR. Blythe say when he
came to see YOUR queried Mr.. Glas-
gov.
HE told me he had paid the allow
anee before and wanted to pay it to
me-
Mr. Boyer said his salary II S225 d
month. His stock holdings are worth
at par something more than 1000.
Roughly estimated, the money received
by Mr.. Boyer from the companies mem
toned was as follows: Graf coal com.
pany, $4,000; Clearfield 4 Granton Co.,
$4,000; Dunkirk company, $3.50; Smith
Y Turner, S1s,250; Thomas Blythe, Sc,
900.
Mr. Glasgow said he understood that
these payments had ceased last March.
He wanted to know Why MIR. Boyer
said he had not inquired the reason
a. W. Gibbs, general superintendent
Of motive power, Mr.. Boyer's superior
officer, testified that he know nothing
Of his chief clerks acceptance Of money
from the coal companies. Asked the
witness il he had ever heard OF any
other man in The department accepting
money as Boyer bad, Mr.. Gibbs said
he had heard that former Chief Clerk
Rohrer had received presents. but the
rumors were not tangible and he had
no knowledge on the subject Mr.. Gibbs
declared Mr.. Boyer's testimony to be a
revelation to him.
