clusion Of the days testimony Commits
sioner Clements announced that the in

commission would meet In Chicago Mon
day, and further that certain data on
the subject OF block signals on the Bal
timore and Ohio, az well as the Southern

Vestigation. was necessary before the in

Two witnesses were on the stand to-

ENORMOUS POWER
OF {. H. HARTMAN
He Is the Gar of Thousands
of Miles of Rail
roads.

NEW YORK, January 5,-The Inter
preliminary portion of it's inquiry into
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
Railroads and allied Hartman lines in
this city to-day, and adjourned to meet
again next Tuesday morning at Chicago.
The testimony taken to-day tended
further to show the great scope of the
power conferred upon President E. Fl.
Hartman by the boards OF directors of
the various lines under Union Pacific
control.
All the facts of record as to the declara-
ton of dividends last August by the Union
and Southern Pacics were brought out
by the commission. The dividends We're
declared on August 18th, but were not an
nounced until two days later, just before
the stock exchange opened for business.
1t was at Mr.. Harriman's suggestion that
the dividends We're declared. I was also
at his suggestion that the announcement
was deferred He explained that number
of the directors of the companies were not
present, and he thought 1t nothing, but
fair that they should be advised before
the matter became public property
The executive committees of the Union
and Southern Pacific We're given authori-
ty to announce their dividends at such
man was and is, chairman of both COM
mttees. The committees also were au-s
thorized to designate the funds from
which the dividends should be paid What
these funds We're could not be learned
from to-day's Witnesses but the commits
sion was promised complete statement.
From the minutes OF the Oregon short
Line executive committee, 1t was dis
closed that Mr.. Hartman. in March. 1903,
sold to William Rockefeller 100000 shares
of the Oregon Short Lines holdings of
Southern Pacific common stock. A letter
from Mr.. Rockefeller referring to their
agreement" MS to the stock was next
placed in evidence. Mr. Rockefeller in
November 1908, asked Mr. Hartman TO
take back the stock ut the time, instead
of waiting for the expiration Of the
agreement In, the spring of 1901.
The minutes OF the Short line showed
that the stock was bought back from NJ,
Rockefeller. and it was further shown
that he was paid commission of slS7,5G0
To-day's witnesses know nothing OF what
the. agreement between Mr.. Hartman
and MI Rockefeller WAS.
A subpoena was issued for Mr., Rookie
felerto appear at such time as the COM
mission shall designate MIR, Hartman,
when he IS able to testify, will also be
asked regarding this agreement.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. January 5.-The

conductors and brakemen and fagrnen
in the employ of the Southern Railway,
which has been in progress here for some
days, has not resulted definitely.
When the conference was concluded at

that there woul1 &c another joint session

tiyes of the employees said they thought

New Schedule.
The new schedule of the Southern Rail-
way, which goes into effect tomorrow.
will involve n number of changes in addi-
ton to the lengthenng of the schedules.
1t will not result In the entire abrogation
of train 81. known as the Southern Fast
Mail, as it is intended to have solid
mail train operated out of Washington
at o'clock. as at present. However, 1t
Will not be run on the fast schedule that
has heretofore characterized that train. 1t
will be run at slower speed. and will not
put everything else on sidetracks to make
way for IT, Heretofore 1t was the Supe-
rior train of everything on the road. and
freight and passenger service alike had
to take to the side tracks for It. When
ever there was any waiting to do it was
not 81 that did it.
Under the new arrangements. however.
all this will be changed. The mail will
be expedited as much as possible, but
everything else on the road will not be
delayed in order that the fast mail go
through on time. 1t will carry no passen-
gers north of Charlotte. but south of that
point will be operated as regular pas
senger train.
1t is said that the announcement OF.
the Southern that it would throw up the
special appropriation came like thunder
bolt from a clear sky to many of thu
Southern congressman, who have held
that it was pay for service that would
be as we'll rendered without it. Tho
superintendent of the Southern is reported
to have said that the loss of time %

by reason of It's having to wait on the
fast mall, cost the company more by far
than 1t got out of the operation Of the
