LOOK INTO HILL ROADS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Conducting a Preliminary Inquiry.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, March 9-The Interstate Com
merce Commission, according to those IN posi-
ton 10 know. has taken steps to ascertain
whether or not the Hill railroads are working
under a combination IN restraint OF trade. Mem
bers OF the commission are reticent on the sub
sect. and II is doubtless their wish TO avoid any
disturbance TO the stock market which might
result from formal announcement OF such an
investigation pending the requirement Of infor-
NATION which VIII demonstrate whether the con-
ditions are such as to compel the institution Of
formal and sweeping investigation. the present
inquiry being Of merely tentative character.
II VIII be remembered that J. ]. Hill president
OF the Great Northern Railway, caused the in
corporation OF the Northern Securities Company
rs a holding company which was to administer
the affairs Of the Great Northern the Northern
Pacific. and the Chicago Burlington & Quincy
as single corporation To effect this combina-
ton the holders OF stock in the roads were to
exchange their shares for stock in the Northern
Securities Company until that corporation held
a percentage OF the stock Of each road sufficient
20 enable II to dominate the affairs of these
railroads As is well known the suit instituted
by the administration under the direction Of At
torney General Knox resulted in decision by
the Supreme Curt OF the United States COM
pelling the dissolution of the Northern Secu-
rifles Company a holding company.
Despite this decision Of the Supreme Court.
however. the affairs OF the Hill roads have con-
tinued 20 be administered with a singleness Of
purpose and a unity Of policy which are held TO
AFFORD ground for suspicion that Mr. Hill and
his associates have succeeded in effecting that
combination in restraint Of trade which was
the Illegal feature Of the Northern Securities
Company. and the tentative inquiry Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission is believed to
have been undertaken with view to ascertain
ing II this is the fact, and If So If Mr.. Hill has
moi rendered himself liable to prosecution for
violating the spirit, even If he may have avoided
violating the letter. OF the law.
In view OF the effect which the federal in
vestigation OF the Hartman interests has had
on the stock market, and especially on the
stocks Of the lines involved. the outcome Of the
tentative inquiry into the Hill methods viii be
awaited with no little interest

Smiths Sudden Death.

How little we or the doctors know about our bodies is shown in the case of James Henry Smith, Silent James, as he was known, so rich that he hardly knew what to do with his money, and with all his seventy-tlve millions of dollars he dies suddenly, and the man who could draw his check for millions is checked himself of life's books. And now it trans pires that the man who was going through society gatherings, the envy of everybody as healthy, apparently as could be found, has had a cancer. He was doctored for an aching tooth and yet had the deadliest disease that ever man had. X-Rays do their part, but when a deeper probe is needed mankind even the most skill full physicians stand as ignorant as a boy in presence of a disease that searches the whole body for places in which to lap and frutiey the deadliest agency. And with all his wealth he dropped in death in foreign land, with his newly wed wife, to be sure, at his side, but in land of strangers and surrounded by them.
