MORE HARTMAN METHODS
Witnesses Tell How Traffic Competition is

STEAMSHIP COMPANY FORCED TO SUSPEND
Circulars Distributed in Oriental
Ports Warming Shippers Not to
Use Graham Line Because IL
Had No Connections.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. s1.-Evidence
that tends to show that the operation of
f H. Hartman on the coast constitutes a
violation OF the interstate commerce law
was brought out before Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane today. c. A Severance,
attorney for the commission, introduced
evidence TO prove his contention that Har-
riman paid a price out Of proportion to
the value of the Coos Bay properties in
order 10 put competition out Of the way.
Hartman. Attorney Severance maintained,
was not buying coal mines primarily; he
was buying monopoly.
r A. Graham, who supplied this test-
mony created another sensation before he
left the stand. He said that when Harri-
man acquired the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company in 1901 his agents cir
culated literature throughout the Orient
warning merchants and others not to ship
freight over the Graham line the Oregon
and Oriental, as 1t had no transportation
facilities on this side OF the world. The
circulars were dated at Portland. AS re-
suit OF these methods the witness said
Graham's line went out Of business.
Hard and Fast Contract.
Graham was recalled to the stand for
continuation Of the story he related yes
terday showing how Hartman forced his
company, the Oregon and Oriental. out OF
business. He stated that the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company, owned by
Hartman, routed his inward freights and
that he was required by contract to give
the Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany bills Of lading over that road and its
connections.
So stringent were the conditions OF this
contract, when Graham desired TO give some
OF his freight to the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul road, the officials, particu-
larly Campbell of the oregon Railway and
Navigation. would not permit him. but
compelled him to ship over the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Illinois Central.
Attorney Severance, for the commission
went carefully into the terms OF this con-
tract, drawing attention among other
things 10 the fact that there was pro-
viso showing careful regard for the In
terstate Commerce commission.
