II is significant that a member Of this

to unity and amalgamate the manage

New York. July 13-Edward II. Harri-
man tonight issued the following state
ment. after being apprised Of tho general
character of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions report on MS railroads:
From what I am told. the report IS
a political document and a part OF
personal pursuit Of me. The tone OF the
report and the method of its promulga-
ton show that.
Imagine a court or any judicial body
sending copies Of its decisions around
secretly to newspaper publishers days IN
advance. under pledge TO publish il
simultaneously Sunday morning. That
is what the commission did. Their opin-
ion was put in type several days ago and
sent to newspapers throughout the coun-
try, with the following printed In bold
type at the head: Confidential To all
newspapers This report is released for
publication On Sunday morning, July Il,
1907, and not before.
Deemed Good Politics.
1T is deemed good politics 70 attack
me. But can stand it much better than
the, people OF this country can stand that
sort of procedure on the part OF govern
meat tribunals charged with the duty Of
mpartially administering the laws.
Il shall study it carefully and have
something 70 say about it later But
from what I'm told it IS full OF strange
misstatements of fact. For example, in
reference TO the Chicago and Alton. it
says that / caused about Sl2.oOo0o0 to>be
credited to construction expenditures. in
order to find an excuse for borrowing
money to pay dividends. As a matter OF
fact. that was written recommendation
made by President FELTON, when 1 was in
Alaska. and 81 was adopted by the board
Of directors ct meeting at which I was
not present.
Suggestion Host Unfair.
Again. IT is said that certain methoo
Of accounting that was carried out would
have the effect Of covering up the pay
ment Of the special dividend thereby init
mating some wrongful coHcesIment. This
IS most extraordinary statement fer the
writer Of the reports to make. when it IS
considered that the stockholders neces-
sarilY knew Of the dividend because every
one received his share. and that it was
published in every financial journal at
the time and was reported 20 the stock
exchange and shown On its printed lists
The suggestion. therefore, Of any reason
or desire fer concealment is most unfair.
Il am Informed by those who have *
amined it more carefully that the article
is full OF errors as glaring and incxcus-
able as these, but I shall read il carefully
and make a fun statement about IT, par
ticularly OF my connection with the Cl..-
cago and Alton readjuslment, in a few
days.
