only In dealing with the Asi2tic races
that the bars should be put up and

garding the alleged eSis,en,e OF Il
combination or arrangement between
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,

is in course of preparation.
Inquiry at the offices of the inter

the fact that the only data on which
the commission can base its report,
outside the matters already Of public
knowledge, is contained in the reports
of the railroads themselves annually
supplied to the commission in accord
ance with the requirement of law.
These reports the commission always
have regarded as confidential, but 1t
is understood that details of manage
ment and ownership Of stocks. bonds,
etc., are given in them which throw
considerable light on the subject In
issue.
