Many Fall In Clash.

Seoul-Korea Is practically In
the hands of a dictator, Gen. Hasc-
gawa, commander Of the Japanese
troops in the Hermit Kingdom.
Though there has been no formal dec
laration of martial law, the military is
in absolute control. So greatly are
the Japanese outnumbered, however,
that It Is a problem whether they will
be able to hold the people in subjec-
ton until reinforcements can reach
them from home.
Fears are entertained Of attacks,
not alone on the Japanese, but IN all
foreigners in the country. The con
sulates in Seoul are under heavy
guard. Troops are %patroling the
streets, and all gatherings are broken
up as soon al they are discovered.
Despite these precautions, there is n 10
doubt many secret meetings are being
held to plan for a general uprising.
The situation is more serious out
side Seoul than in the city itself. No
troops can be spared from here, the
interior garrisons are few and small,
and the people will meet with practi-

The attitude of China regarding the
Thtbet question may cut some figure
in the final settlement. q Quite recently
the governor general of %Sze-Chuan,
Hsi-Liang, established in .Cheng-Tu a
school to teach the Thibetan language.
Just before leaving the province he
said in an address to the faculty that
Tibet formed the natural Fertilization
for, the. western border Of China, but
that on account Of the ignorance and
primitiveness of its people this west
ern border was in imminent danger of
invasion.
China is now preparing to send
teachers who speak the language of
Thibet to that state to educate the
people in and the use of
arms. The establishment of railroad
connections is also being considered
at Pekin.

MUNlTY.
WILL Be NO CRIMINAL ACTION
Chairman Knapp Says Railroad Kings
Presence Aided Inquiry
State Laws Not
Broken.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Martin A. Knopp.
chairman of the Interstate
commission, said:
THE report Of the commission In
the so-called Hartman investigation
was intended to present in an orderly
and reliable way the principal facts
disclosed. The purpose OF Hartman
is mainly accomplished, as will be seen
through the purchase by one railroad
OF the securities of other railroads
and steamship lines, the purchasing
road securing the necessary funds by
selling its own obligations.
THE extent to which this method
has been employed is indicated by the
enormous mileage virtually controlled
by the Union Pacific. That company,
in addition to the capitalization, which
represents its carrying plant and
equipment, has issued and sold securi-
ties to the amour of about $3.50, 000,-
600, and has used all that vast sum In
buying the securities of other com.
panies. About $780, 00, 900 was paid for
the Southern Pacific, and the balance
for the Illinois Central, the htchison,
Baltimore & Ohio. Chicago G. Alton,
New York Central and other roads.
No Violation of Federal Law.
"This method of extending and uni
flying railroad control is not, as a meth
cd, In violatin of any Federal law
OF course, IL the result In a particular
instance brings about such a restraint
of competition as the antitrust law
forbids, that law may be invoked so
far as it has application. Therefore,
unless there Is some restriction in the
state charter of the purchasing road
or in the laws of the state under which
1t Is organized, this method of con-
solidation of transportation lines can
be utilized freely. In this case the
Union Pacific, which Is a Utah corpora
ton, has express authority to make
such purchases, while the Southern
Pacific, chartered by the state of Ken
lucky, vas created as a mere holding
company.
What l have Just said applies to
criminal prosecution as well as civil
procedure. Whether any Of these
transactions were in violation of the
criminal provisions of the antitrust
law, it is doubtless true that Mr.. Har-
riman secured immunity by being
called as a witness. This question
was carefully considered by the COM
mission, and it seemed plain that it
was more important to develop and ex-
pose the actual facts, and there APP.
peared to be no way to get to the bot.
tom Of some of these transactions ex-
cept by putting Mr.. Hartman on the
stand"
