ARGUMENTS BEGUN
On Outcome Of Hartman Case Be-
fore Commerce Commission De-
pends Question Of Criminal Prose-
cution Of Maanate.


Washington, April Arguments in
the famous Hartman case, which was
heard by the interstate commerce
commission a few weeks ago in New
York, were begun before the commits
sion today. The proceedings are not
in the nature of a hearing, but merely
an argument involving the question Of
whether the sUnion Pacific and South
ern Pacific railroads are competing
lines.
In his testimony before the commits
sion in New York, e. H. Hartman in
sisted that no lines were not COM
peting lines. On the results of the
arguments may depend whether Har-
riman and his associates are to be
prosecuted as combination in re-
straint of trade under the. provisions
of the Sherman antitrust law.
When on the stand in New York,
Hartman declined, by advice of his
counsel, TO answer CeIldlH liQulllSo
put to him by the commission con-
cerning the transfer of certain Union
Pacific stock 1t has not been determ-
ined yet whether the commission will
endeavor to force Hartman, thru pro-
ceedings in the United States courts
to answer those questions or not. 1t
was stated positively by the commits
sion that the question not only had
not been decided, but it had not even
been considered to any considerable
extent. It>is not likely that any de-
cision on this matter will be reached
for some time, certainly not until the
commission has obtained, thru the ar
guments begun today, and from other
sources. all the light that may be
thrown upon the matter.
Harriman's contention was that the
transactions about which he was ques-
toned had no relation to interstate
commerce, consequently the commits
sion had no right to the information
which it asked. 1t is probable that the
commission, after it has gone thor
oughly ipto the matter, will announce
what action if any, it proposes to take
affecting Harrimans refusal to answer
it's questions.

then these would be issued in exchange
for the private securities, which would
be destroyed. Any dispute as to valua-
ton would be settled by condemnation
proceedings.
Congress probably would have to
create another cabinet officer, secre-
tary Of railways. He would run the
railroads of the country just as the
postmaster general runs the postoffice
department.

DIAMOND DoDD

Perhaps it is Ralph Dodd's size
that makes him such a success as
an umpire. The average ball player
will pick a fight with an umpire
who is big enough to object to the
proceedings, but Ralph don't weigh
much more than 100 pounds aud of
course if one of the huskies who
hammer around the bases should
try to take fall out Of Ralph, po-
lice interference wouldn't prevent
the riding of the player On rail.
And perhaps the reason Dodd gets
along 50 well is because he Is so
ready to fine anyone who "sasses"
him.
While Dodd is the subject under
discussion, did you ever notice his
diamonds? He has a stud and ring
that probably are the finest stones
in the city. The 2 of them together
are almost as big as Ralph. He
says diamonds are his hobby.
Pretty good hobby.
