HARTMAN FIGHTS FOR HIS
ALLEGED PRIVATE RIGHTS

riman is protected by the constitution
from answering such interrogations."
Not I'm Record.
But" said Hough, "tne ground of
your objection as it appears in the
record, is that the subject matter of
the inquiry is irrelevant and immater-
ial and / cannot understand what con-
stitutional privilege is claimed"
1T is not" said Milburn. 1--WE mere
ly claim that the interstate commerce
commission has neither the right nor
the power to make inquiry of the
scope attempted. Underlying the
whole case, however" Milburn said, sis
the fundamental right of the individ-
ual protected in his liberty of action
by the constitution of the United
States
Regarded Most Vital.
The argument is regarded by the
lawyers engaged in it as being the
most important legal issue that has
arisen since organization of the inte.;-
state commerce commission.
Apart from the point directly i'll
volved the result will have an impor-
tant bearing on the province and lin
itations of the commissions future in-
vestigations.
What Hartman Wouldn't Tell.
The questions to which Mr.. Harri-
man refused to answer related to the
purchase of stock of other railways
in the interest of the Union Pacific
and to the Union Pacific dividend Ia
regard to the $2S,0OO,000 of Illinois
Central stock. purchased at $175 a
share, the questions which Mr.. Harri-
man declined to answer were:
Were the 10000 shares sold by
yourself, Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Stillman
pooled?
Was it acquired for the purpose of
selling it to the Union Pacific?
Was the stock purchased by you at
a much lower price than s175. with the
intention of turning it over to the
Union Pacific
Did you have any interest in $4,000
shares sold at the time by Kuhn, Loeb
e Co. to the Union Pacific?
Was that $4,000 shares acquired by
the same pool for the purpose of sell
ing them to the Union Pacific?
Would Not Discuss Dividends.
On the subject of the Union Pacific
dividend. which was advanced from &
rate of 6 per cent to 10 per cent per
annum on Aug. Is, 1906. with a con-
sequent rise in the price of the stock,
Mr.. Hartman declined to answer the
following:
Were you directly or indirectly in
terested in any stocks that were
bought between the 18th of July all
the 18th of August that Appreciated ?
Did you or any director buy any
Union and Southern Pacific stock in
anticipation of that dividend?
His Reasons for Refusal.
Mr.. Harriman's reasons for refusing
to answer these questions are set
forth, in brief which has been filed
by former Judge r. S. LOvett, counsel
for Mr.. Hartman. The principal
point in the brief is the contention
that the acts concerning which NJ.
Hartman was questioned were de
signed to compel a disclosure by him
of transactions, which, had they
taken place, neither the commission
nor the congress of the United States
could afford a constitutional remedy

the ban against payment of currency
can be lifted gradually. Just what
policy will be followed will be deter
mined within few days.
