Capitalizing Old Debts.

Mr., Kellogg endeavored TO show that
the Hartman management OF the Chi
caCo & Alton had capitalized the debts
OF the old Joliet & Chicago road prior to
1853 but Mr.. Hlllard said his knowledge
OF tho roads affairs did not go back to
that date. 1t was elected. however, that
there never had been a foreclosure Of the
while the old Joliet & Chicago had been
foreclosed The witness was examined
as TO the SIC 00o. 900 which IL is claimed
OF the Alton. because that amount had
been expended on improvements or had
been lost by former shareholders.
Mr.. l.ovett, of counsel for Hartman.
objected 10 Mr.. Kellogg assuming that
$40 oooo.ooo OF the amount represented loss
10 an old set OF stockholders through
foreclosure. 1t developed that neither
witness nor counsel knew IL there had
been foreclosure. so MI. Kellogg
amended his question 10 include i'm
provcments or losses, or both,
Tho witness said that the ss2 600. .O0o
In question had previously been paid and
the accounts were written off, He did
not know II other railroads ever added
TO their capital in that way.
Mr., kellogg then asked a series OF
questions tending 10 show that certain
enterprises also had been capitalized by
the Alton. but the witness did not admit
this. Certain construction expenses had
elected the admission that the discount
upon the bonds had been charged;
tllat while the books disclosed it, the an
nuaI report would tend to confuse the
public in regard 10 this Item.
What Becomes Of the Money!
In answer TO questions from Commits
sioner Lane, the witness questioned the
riGh; of the directors Of the Alton In
going back over their books for period
of many years and capitalizipg the ex-
