The most interesting feature of the
day was the colloquy between Harrl-
man and Commissioner Lane. Com
missioner Lane leaning across the
bench began a sketch of the enormous
requirements of the Union Pacific I'M
der Hartman. He began with the is
suance Of the $1O0,000OOO in bonds and
traced its purchases out to Portland
on the coast, on to the Orient by
steamship lines, back to San Francisco.

York by steamships, into the Northern
Pacific and out again, into the Alton.
the Illinois Central. the Santa Fe. the
Baltimore and Ohio and the New York
Central. He was facing the witness
and pausing for a moment said:
Where is that thing going to stop?"
The master operator smiled and then
somewhat nervously said: 81 DON'T

we have any more-T would go on II

more than we have got from those Sc
curities. l would go on and buy some
more things"
Lane: "supposing you concentrated
two or three more you might take
some other line and go right into New
York;
Hartman: Suppose we had a line
from New York to San Francisco. I
suppose that Is what you mean: would
it not be good thlng-not that we
have any idea of doing it, but would
It not be a good thing?''
Lane: 'Supposing that you got the
Santa Fee"
Hartman: You would not let us
get it."
Lane. How could we help it,"
Hartman: How could you help it?

Hartman: zone minute. What I
meant by that is this-this is proba-
bly, an illustration which might
make: AS the law exists railroads are
prevented from consolidating or com.
bining. Take the instance Of the Bur

and Northern Pacific: # was not n
good thing for the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern and Burling
Ton, or for the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern TO buy all the stock
and eliminate from the situation 10,
OOo or 10000 small stockholders; that
IS what they did. They turned those
Io'OOO or 16,000smalls stockholders from
stockholders into creditors. so that
they were eliminated from the de
yelopment Of the business on the
lines Of railroad. They did not care
anything about it as long as they got
the interest on the bonds.
Now, if we had some legal method
whereby the Burlington and Northern
Pacific and Great Northern, under
some legal restriction, had been per.
mitted to make contracts by which
they could approximately have accom-
phshed the same thing it would not
nave been necessary TO issue the $780,

country in which railroads have i'm

Lane: "Is it not 4 fact that every

nitted this.

committee on publication, who is
especially appointed for the purpose
of rendering any assistance in its
power to the Representative of the
public press who may be gathering
data on the subject of Christian Sci
ence and it leader.
In a conversation with members
of McClure's staff several months
ago, | informed them that if they
would submit their data to me |
would be pleased to assist them in
their verification, giving them as my
reason that there were documents in
circulation and rumors afioat which
were not genuine. They have not

We have stated we find in this editor
ial announcement a picture of another
woman which is represented by Nc
Clure's as portrait of Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy. taken in Boston in
1882. The picture does not in any
point resemble Mrs. Eddy.
"On November 9th, and before the
December number of McClure's was
placed on the news stands, | wrote
TO the managing editor of McClure's,
apprising of this error. but received
no reply. My letter follows:
