fixed the price at 81 H. He was then
asked If he had owned any of the.

Milburn objected. Mr. Milburn said
his client was ready to lend every
possible assistance to the inquiry, and
mat they rejoiced that 1T gave them

He denied, however, that the question.
nut to the witness had any bearing on
the question Of interstate commerce. He.
said the Commission had great powers,
but there was a limit where those.
powers might be exceeded, and he
thought it was to the interest of the
commission to properly define its pow
ers.

Mr.. Milburn seemed to draw a distinc-
ton between the transaction of the COM
many and the action of its officials. and
asked II this could be called the trans
