The curious thing about Harrimsns at
tack upon the President is that he should
expect any one TO believe him. Hartman
is known to be crooked, conscienceless,
bold, and aggressive. but It had been sup
posed that he was shrewd enough to be
a keen judge Of men and conditions. The
fact that he has considered it worth while

SALT LAKE RAILROAD NOT BOUND

Mistake in Testimony Before Interstate Commerce Commits

Los Angeles. Cal. jan. 5.-The Ex-
press today says
Business and commercial interests o.
all southern California, and particular
~ Los Angeles, are aroused by the de-
velopments of the interstate commerce
commission inquiry into the Hartman
railroads merger
The greatest surprise is the alleged

and Salt Lake railroads, allegations
which are vigorously denied by j. Ross

n. Clark, president of the company
Statement of J. Ross Clark.
Against the charge that Senator
Clark entered into an agreement with
Harriman-an agreement forced by the
latter-to maintain the same freight
rates as the Hartman lines for ninety
nine years, j. Ross Clark says:
THAT is q mistake. 1t is unfair to
say that we are bound to observe the
same rates as the Southern Pacific. The
only agreement that has been made for
q period of ninety-nine years is that the
San Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railway is to have the use of the Harri-
man Oregon Short Line yards at Salt
Lake City for that period Of time on q

Subject to Cancellation.
Our freight interchange agreement

Hartman and his associates own one
half the capital stock of the Salt Lake
road. The directorate is evenly divid-
ed. Mr. Hartman never has attempt
ed to dictate the policy of the Salt Lake
line lie never has attempted to secure
use of the funds of the Salt Lake road
for other railroad purchases. He did
not gain part ownership by threats, but
the Oregon Short Line, which he con-
trolls, had built as far as Caliente, and
two lines through that country would
be suicidal to both. 1t is not true that
we had no eastern outlet except a Har-
riman connection. We agreed because
it was of benefit to all concerned.

attributed has lately received an impetus
