government in the standard on cases.
and acting in a like capacity In the
proceedings Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission against the Harri-
man lines. is a comparatively young
man. Kellogg made a fortune and a
reputation before he associated him
self with the government in the cru
sade against corporations He was
the representative in the Northwest OF
the steel trust. Then he was fighting
for the so-called trusts. Now he Is
arrayed against them.
The government authorities showed
n good deal Of shrewdness in enlist
ing the services of Mr.. kellogg In
their attack upon the paper trust, the
STANDARD Oil octopus and that hagt
combination Of railroads at the mead
of which stands f. H. Hartman, ol
New York. Kellogg is an inside
man. He knows a good deal ABOUT
railroads. how they are financed, and
how they are conducted in this age
and generation. This knowledge has
enabled him to so handle the Harri-
man inquiry as TO elicit facts whose
! existence would never be known to the
ordinary lawyer.
Kellogg has made his headquarter'
! in ST. Paul ever since he has been II
the pratice. He knew more or les'
about the merger of the Hill roads
and is probably fully advised Of TIL
manner in which two roads may b.
operated by a holding concern with
out the public knowing anything
about it. Kellogg won the pape
cases for the government. The Stand
