TESTIMONY BEFORE COMMiS.
SION GAINED HIS I'M.
MUNiTY.
WILL Be NO CRIMINAL ACTION
Chairman Knapp Says Railroad Kings
Presence Aided Inquiry
State Laws Not
Broken.

Syracuse, Il. Y.-Martin A. Knopp,
chairman Of the interstate commerce
commission. said:
1.-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 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 IT'S carrying plant and
equipment, has issued and sold secnri.
ties to the amount OF about s1S0,000,-
900, and has used all that vast sum In
buying the securities of other com
panies. About 1000, 900 was paid for
the Southern Pacific, and the balance
for the Illinois Central, the Atchison.
Baltimore e. Ohio, Chicago & 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 v"iOlatin Of n Federal law.
or course, II 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
sOlidatlOn 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.
"'Vhat | have Just said applies to
criminal prosecution az well as civil
procedure. Whether any OF these
transactions were in violation of the
criminal provisions Of the antitrust
law, II Is doubtless true that MI. Har.
rlman secured immunity by being
called as a witness. This question
was carefully considered by the com
mission. and It seemed plain that 1t
was more important 10 develop and ex-
pose the actual facts, and there APP
peared to be no way 10 get to the bot.
tom OF some of these transactions ex.
cept by putting Mr., Hartman on the
stand"
