East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-13

New York, Nov 13.-After sever
al postponements, the government
suit against E. H. Hartman and OF
TO II. Kahn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., to
force them to answer questions put to
them by the Interstate Commerce
commission, was called for hearing
toGay before Judge Hough in the
federal district court.
The questions On which the con-
test IS made involve mai1ly the pur-
chase of Illinois Central stock by the
Union Pacific through Kuhn, Loeb
& co. Kuhn. reprel entng The wei
known firm of bankers and brokers,
wlll be asked to answer this qucs-
tloD: Were any or all Of the Union
Pacific directors Interested in the
p'ock OF stock sold by your company
t. -, Unlon Pac tic in August
1906" The government seeks to show
that the directors in cf,act sold the
stock to themselves, acting for the
railroad.
Hartman is to be asked concern
ing his connection with the sensa-
tional establishment of Union Pa
cific stock on 10 per cent basis In
August. 1906, following the an
nouncement of which the stock went
up about 20 points. 1t is alleged
that the announcement was held
back for two days to give those on
the "inside" a chance to buy.
Kahn will be asked to tell wheth-
er the Illinois Central stock sold by
his company to the Union Pacific
was not acquired by pool made for
that purpose. Hartman will also be
asked what he paid for stock in the
st. Joe and Grand Island, which he,
himself sold to the Union Pacific.
This he positively refused to tell last
winter and it is supposed he made
some little profit by the deal.
The present action is in the form
of q distinct suit against the two
men on the ground that under the
law, the Interstate Commerce COM
mission has full power to inquire in
to these matters and that they are
compelled to answer all relevant
questions.

tonishing changes occurred in the
profiles in the neighboring peaks.
whose outlines had been softened to
general symmetry by a padding of
lava dust that almost disguised them
beyond recognition while the sand
pit connecting the peaks had attain
ed a height varying from 20 to 100
feet.
Incalculable tons of lava, hundreds
of feet in depth had been deposited
over the entire island. Fire Island

air with a gentle incline rising from
the beach several yards distant to

origin there has been much discus
sion.

WOULDN'T GO BACK
To Old Days of Coffee Misery for
Millions.

A N. Y. lady is emphatic about cof-
fee, and in comparing her former con-
dition when using it, with her later
Improvement under Postum Food Cof-
fee, says:
1--WE have used Postum instead of
coffee for the past four years and have
been greatly benefited by the change.
II have always had a weak stomach
from childhood, and about five years ago
one doctor told me I must leave off
coffee entirely. l thought l could not,
but tried 1t for few, mornings, using
cocoa in its place. but tired of it.
Then 1 went back to coffee and kept
getting worse, until my stomach was
unable to hold or digest much of any
thing.
'One day got hold of a little booklet,
The Road to Wellville' 1 read it and
decided to try Postum.
IT got better as time went on and we
all learned to like it so well that now
we use 1t to the exclusion of every
thing else in the line of drink at table.
This summer 1 went away for two
weeks and my husband took his meals
at the restaurant. As he did not drink
coffee he asked for Postum. They
brought 1t to him, pale, weak stuff
made in hurry.
But the first morning after I re-
turned home he said, ooh, It seems good
to have cup of Postum that's made
did not boil 1t long enough. postum
must be well boiled to get the delicious
favor-see directions.)
IT would not use coffee again and go
back to the old days of suffering for
millions. I have a friend who drank
Postum for two weeks, during siege
of typhoid fever, the only nourishment
she took in all that time, and she came
out all right. I would be willing to-
give s1.00 a box for Postum rather than

in a way has been the interme diary be-
tween the pope and the bulk of the
English-speaking countries. He is
thoroughly conversant with the inter

be called to this office, Monsignor
Kennedy would undoubtedly be Great

bonds valued at $4,000 from the COM
pany, reveals a new method in detec-
tive work Douglass disappeared from
his office Saturday and an investigation
showed that bonds valued at $4,000
were also missing. Oakleigh Thorne,
president of the company, notified a
private detective agency and the po-
lice, but not satisfied with this he or

FOR HONEST LAWYERS.
Justice Brewer Pleads for a Higher
Standard of Ethics.

New York, April 22.-United States
Supreme Court Justice David J. Brew
er pleaded for a higher standard Of
ethics in the legal profession in an adj
dress before the Ethical Culture society
in Carnegie hall yesterday. Justice
Brewer, in beginning his remarks, said
that no profession was so often and so
+xrongfully attacked as was the legal
profession, and then he added:
rs il strange that there should be so
much criticism of the bar? We must
remember that the wisdom of the law
maker can never keep pace with the in
genuity of trained minds seeking to
evade legal limitations. The old saying
that holes may be found in every law
means simply that an ingenious lawyer
can often find either in the statute Itself
or in the mode of enforcement some
way to escape from its penalties 1t is
this which provokes the frequent re-
marks that the law so seldom reaches
the rich, for the rich can pay for the
brainiest and the brainiest can most
certainly and quickly discover the
means of evasion. AS against this, 1

heart alongside his head, to mix his
