OF the great system of financial manipu-

one interesting fact that came out in

AT the Department Of Justice nobody
would make a statement about the sig

testimony at New York. but it was
conceded that Hartman. specially in
the deal over the San Pedro, Los An

all probability. both tie interstate COM

that a United States Senator was a
party 10 the contract detracted nothing
