to the speech made by Bourke Cochrane,

Railroad Officials Admit That They Held
Coal Stock and Thought Nothing
Of it-Make Damaging
Admissions.

PHILADELPHIA, May %, - Further
revelations concerning stock holdings in
the soft coal mining companies by
officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
were made today when the interstate
commerce commission resumed its in
estigations into the alleged discrimina-
ton by the railroads in the distribution
of its cars. William A. Patten, assist
ant to the president was an unwilling
witness, but under persistent question
ing brought out the fact that he acquired
stock of a par value of $30I,00 in the
various coal companies. Vice President
Rea explained he did not believe he was
deharred from ownership because con-
nected with the railroad company. Vice.
President Greene said 90 or 30 years ago
il was not considered improper for of.
fcials or the railroad to own coal COM
pany stock but tho conditions had
changed and such holdings might not be
regarded in the same light. He inform
ed the commission that the directors of
the Pennsylvania today appointed a com.
mittee to investigate the connection of
its offers with the coal companies,
Greene said he did not own Il dollars
worth of stock in the coal companies,
Other witnesses testified to stock own
ership and to discrimination in the dis
tribution of coal cars.

MED. He said every poor, but ambitious
immigrant, who had landed here during
the past ten years would refute the
allegation. Williams answering Lands
said he was encouraged in the fight the
democrats were making in their fight
for tariff reform because number of
the republican leaders, wished re-
lief from the protective tariff. It was
Williams belief that the worst thing
about the protective tariff was that it
corrupted the friends of good govern
ment. Lands took up the assertion
made by Williams that corn was so low
in 1890 and 1891 that the farmers were
compelled to burn it for fuel. He said
he came from the Indian corn belt and
denied that the farmers there were
to burn corn because it was a
drug on the market. Williams insisted
that he was right in his statement. This
brought Hinshaw of Nebraska and
Reeder of Kansas to their feet. They
both denied that the farmers in their
states burned their corn. Win Landis
concluded the republican side rose and
accorded him an ovation.
