ORDER FOR HARTMAN.
Continued from first page.

Frick and himself were. Mr. Hartman also re-
fused to state the connection of Kuhn, Loeb &
CO., with the latter transactions that firm hav-
ing acted as brokers in the purchase Of the
stock.
All questions put TO Mr. Hartman concerning
the pool composed of himself and Messrs. F'rick
and Rogers in the purchase of the Santa Fe
stock were also declined. and are part of those
the commission is now demanding that he
answer.
Questions as to Mr. Harrimans interest in
the buying of 105,000 shares of Illinois Central
Railway stock are cited among those refused.
as well as the major portion of the questions
put to him concerning the facts under which
the 10 per cent southern Pacific dividend was
declared, and whether or not Mr.. Hartman per
sonally profted by the sudden and rapid appre-
citation OF that stock following the dividend.
whether he purchased any Of the stock that he
might ,lfI ptoht by 1t; Mr.. Hartman Is credited
to answer the questions was upon the advice
of his counsel
MR. KAHN AND c. &. a

Kahn. who, as a representative of Kuhn. Loeb
&c Co. would not tell of the details of the Chi
cago & Alton transactions. MI Kahn is also
charged with declining to answer questions ex-
planning the connection Of Kuhn. Loeb & Co

soon be in working order, and adding
materially to the out-put of Salem's

were planned by U. J. Lehman, and
all the castings were moulded at the

two barrels of color liquid or $50
gallons for the six tanks, and will
have a capacity, when the grinders
can keep them running, of six barrels

out 1880 gallons of paint per day.
