HILL PREVENTED COMBINE.
Says He Stopped Plan to Form Hia
Railway Trust.


st. Paul, Mimi, Nov 2S.-In his tes
timony before the state railroad and
warehouse commission j. J. Hill made
the most startling revelation that was
ever brought out of railroad magnate
on the witness stand. The question
ing of Attorney General Edward r.
Young had stirred the venerable 'em-
pire builder" to q high pitch of feel
ing.
Mr.. Hill indicated that a colossal
combination of all the railroads in the
west between the Canadian border and
the Mexican line had been attempted
and the movement was checkmated
only by the refusal of the one man to
enter the combination. This man was
himself
He asserted and reiterated the hon
esty of his purposes in his great
transactions, especially of the last few
years, and thereby he made another
almost equally remarkable disclosure
Stockholders of theN Great Northern
road, he said, have received the equiv
alent of 147 per cent in dividends dur
ing the past year. This was made up
of per cent from operation Of the
road, 40 per cent in the form af stock
dividend and 100 per cent from the ore
land deal, the last being almost free
gift by Mr.. Hill to his stockholders,
inasmuch as he could rightfully have
held that profit for his personal ac-
count This was clearly demonstrated
in the examination Of Mr.. Hill by Mr..
