HARTMAN SITUATION.
Final Stage in the Investigation to
Begin on Thursday.

Chicago, April "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The final stage in the investigation
of the Hartman Situatian" will begin
on Thursday next when the interstate
commerce commission will hear its
own counsel and that of involved rail-
roads in explanation of points brought
out in the testimony taken.
Following arguments the commits
sion will refer all testimony to the at
torney general with a view to the in
stitution of legal proceedings for a dis
solution of the combination existing
between the Union Pacific, Oregon
Sh ort Line, Southern Pacific and allied
lines which have been found to be
competing; and will prepare a report
for information of the president
wherein will be set forth steps which
the investigation shows will improve
the transportation facilities generally
and legislation necessary to insure
more satisfactory federal regulation.
A further decision of the commission
will be to request the department OF
Justice to compel E. H. Hartman TO
answer questions pertaining to his act
as a private individual which he de-
clfned to answer when he was on the
witness stand. It may be that counsel
for Hartman will seek to avoid such
proceedings by giving the commission
the information it desires, but this is
remote possibility. The commission Is
satisfied that under the powers grant
ed it by existing law its authority TO
demand answers to personal questions
would be upheld.
