report of Herbert Knox Smith was
the following, which It asks the public

contract relations in times past with
the Standard Oil company? English
dealer-Yes.
United States agent-Will you per-
nit me to read the contract? English
dealer-I will not, and am amazed
that you should make such a request.
United States agent-My reason
for making the request is that as a

New York, Aug. 13-United States
District Attorney Stimson has filed in
the United States circuit court in this
city a petition that e. II. Hartman
and Otto II. Kahn, the latter of the
firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., be sum-
moned into court to show cause why
they should not answer certain qEes-
tons relating to the control of the Ghi-
cago and Alton railroad These ques-
tons were asked during the Interstate
commerce commissions Investigation
Of the Chicago and Alton several
months ago Stimson acted for Attor-
ney General Bonaparte in filing the pc
tition.
Question He Wouldn't Answer.
The questions to which the govern
ment demands answers from Hartman
and Kahn refer to the purchase Of the
controlling interest in the Chicago and
Alton and the Illinois Central by the
Union Pacific. In 1904 the Union Pa
cific purchased 1O3, 431 shares of Al
ton stock through Kuhn. Loeb & Co.
at S6,a. The stock was deposited with
the bankers with the understanding
that it was TO be sold to the Union
Pacific at a price to be made by 4
committee composed of Hartman, John
A Stewart and John j. Mitchell. At
the hearing Hartman was asked what
part Of the stock so disposed of he
owned. This question he refused to
answer.
Where He Was Again Mute.
Hartman also refused to answer
questions as to the amount Of his hold
ing of Union Pacific preferred. nor
would he state the holdings of II. II.
Rogers, II. c. Prick and himself in
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe 9th
er questions which Hartman declined
to answer had to do with his interest
in the purchase of 100000 shares Of
Illinois Central, the famous 10 per
cent. dividend of the Southern Pacific
road and mis- own profits occasioned
by the sudden rise In this stock fol-
lowing the declaration Of this dividend
In the Case of Kahn.
The questions which Kahn refused
to answer had to do with the connec-
ton of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, with
the purchase of stock in the
Chicago and Alton and the Illinois
Central. and what portion of the stock
SO purchased was held for the direc-
tors of the Union Pacific.
