HARTMAN SAYS REPORT
is POLITICAL DOCUMENT
AND PERSONAL PURSUIT

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Mr. Hartman,
speaking by Telephone from Arden tonight
said:
From what 1 am told, the report is
political document and part of personal
pursuit of me. The tone of the report ana
the method of its PRONUNCIATION snow that'
Imagine a court or any judicial body
sending copies of it's directions around
secretly to newspaper publishers days in
advance under pledge to publish 1t stimuli
taneousy Sunday morning. That is what
the commission did. Their opinion was
put in type several days ago and sent 10
newspapers throughout the country with
the following printed in bold type at the
head:
Confidential to All Newspapers-This
report is released for publication on Sun
day morning, July A. 1907, and not be-
fore
ut is deemed good politics to attack me.
But can stand better than the people of
the country can stand that sort of proce-
dure on the part of the government
tribunals charged with the duty of i'm
partially administering the laws.
viii Speak Later
st shall stuly 1t carefully and have
something to say about it later. But from
what am told it is full of strange mis-
statements of fact. For example, In refer
ence to the Chicago & Alton it says that l
caused about $120oO.OOO to be credited to
construction expenditures in order to find
an excuse for borrowing money to pay
dividends.
"As a matter of act that was written
recommendation by President FELTON, when
L was in Alaska, and 1t was adopted by
the board of directors at a meeting at
which 1 was not present, Again, it is ex-
pected that a certain method of account
ing that was carried out would have the
effect of covering up the payment of the
special dividend, thereby initiating some
wrongful function.
This is a most extraordinary statement
for the writer of the report to make when
1t is considered that the stockholders
necessarily knew of the dividend because
every one received his share, and when it
was published in every financial journal
at the time and was reported to the stock
exchange and shown on its printed lists.
The suggestion therefore of any reason or
desire for concealment is most unfair
Il am informed by those who have ex-
amined it carefully that the article is full
of errors, glazing and inexcusable, but /
shall read 1t carefully and make a full
statement about it, particularly in regard
to my connection with the Chicago &
Alton readjustment in few days"

railways as we'll as between other in
dustries is the established policy of the
nation, and while this acquisition OF a

long as it is the policy of the general
government and the states to maintain

of railway should be prohibited from

"(S) The time has come when some
reasonable regulation should be i'm

merce. We are aware that In the con-
struction of new lines of railway, de-
veloping new territory, 1T has peen
necessary in many instances to sell rall-
way securities at large discount, ana 10

fcult to raise the necessary capital
Men will not invest their money and
take the risk for small rates of inter-

curities for merely speculative pur-
poses. Railroads should be encouraged
to extend their systems and develop the

ance. ALSO that railway securities
should be safe and conservative invest

good and ample returns of the money
Invested. Reasonable regulation Will
tend to make them safer and more
secure investments, and thereby benefit
not only the railroad companies but the
public"

ISSUE BLANK WARRANTS
UNDER NEW FENDER LAW
CITY PROSECUTOR. PREPARES TO
MAKE CASES
PatroImen Ready to Serve Legal com-
plants on Managers and Motor
men of Offending Car
Companies

Trolley officis yesterday gave no signs
of intending to comply with the amended
fender law, but in the city prosecutor
office steps were taken to force compli-
ance on Monday
Eight blank complaints were made out,
two for each of the four principal lines,
which will be used when the patrolmen
proceed to make arrests in Los Angeles.
Lines Affected
The lines whose employees will be prose-
cuted If no tenders are used on cars
within the city limits are the Los An-
geles-Pacific, the Los Angeles Railway
company, the Pacific Electric and the Los
Angeles Interurban.
One complaint applies to the motorman
and one to the manager of the offending
company in each case.
On Monday morning patrolmen will be
sent out to note if cars are being oper-
ated without lenders. The names of the
crew will be ascertained at once. COM
plants will be issued and the men will be
brought into the police court.
Cheaper to Accede
If only two men are arrested from each
company it has been pointed out that it
will be cheaper for the companies to pay
the fines than to equip every car with
fender at cost of S. each. The cars
which operate outside the city limits all
carry the regulation cowcatchers, similar
to locomotives.
Prosecutor E. P. F4eming, acting under
instructions of CITY Attorney Leslie r.
Hewitt. will bring issues to a head at
once, carrying out the wishes of the city
council.
The trolley officials say they will be
prepared to combat any claims which they
consider illegal or unfair.

THE plan adopted was to substitute
long term bonds and guaranteed stock
bearing an exceptionally low rate of in
terest for common stock which paid
large dividend and for bonds about to
mature bearing a high rate of interest.
Thus the property was mt burdened with
an interest payment proportionate to the
increase in capitalization, no matter how
great the profits made from the reorgani-
zation. However, these bonds must some
time be paid; they live for fifty years as
a debt of the railroad and the stock will
control property which it did little If
anything to create.
Incidentally it may observed that
bankers who manage these operations
appear to be richly rewarded. The testi-
mony shows that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. re-
ceived per cent. or $5,000,0OO of the $780,
600 900 of Union Pacific convertible bonds,
one-halfof which was retained by them
and the other half given to the syndicate
to which the bonds were sold.
ION the 10000 shares of Southern Pa
cific which the Union Pacific purchased
at 5000 per share, the same banking
house received a commission of $3.50
share They received like commission
of $3.50 per share on the Chicago & Alton
stock sold to the Union Pacific at $S6.50 per
share. 1t is significant that member of

steamships from Galveston and from New
Orleans to New York and Havana. II is
unnecessary to detail each separate rail-
way corporation owning the sections of
the various lines in these states ID is
sufficient to say that through stocks it
controls the entire Southern Pacific sys-
tenn commonly known as the Sunset
route OF these lines the Union Pacific
has lease and owns the stocks; of other
lines, notably Texas lines, 1t is simply
a stockholding company, and controls
them in that way.
among these lines so owned and con-
trolled is the Central Pacific Railroad
company, organized under the laws of
Utah on July 20, 1899.

essentials parallel with that of the San
Pedro.
l. C. Not Competitor
1.-THE Illinois Central cannot be regard
ed as a competing line with the Union
Pacific; but it is competing line with
the Chicago & Alton, which is Jointly
controlled, through stock ownership, by
the Union Pacific and the Rock Island
and is manifestly a competing line with
the Rock Island.
Since June 80 of last year the Union
Pacific has purchased 29.59 per cent of
the capital stock of the Illinois Central,
or PSI ,231 shares out of total of $50, 400
shares.

the Union Pacific Railroad company in

30, 1906, the outstanding capital indebt-
edness of this company was extended
from S33. 1851, 407 to $114610,973, or an in

Did you ever stop to think that it is one thing to talk about people and quite another thing to have oeople talk about you? If people who are in the habit of using their tongues little too freely about their neighbors, would stop and give the matter moments serious reflection, and consider the evils that are likely to result from too much gossip and idle talking, there would probably be less gossipping.
