lations With Railroads.

From Swallowing Up the
Profits.

A dispatch from Washington states;
The relations of the principal railroads
of the country to the terminal compa-
MES of the large cities is subject that
is being investigated by the Interstate
Commerce commission. In connection
with this investigation the commission
has procured from the principal rail
roads the names Of ten of the largest
stockholders of each road. Among the
railroads affected by this investigation
are:
The Rock Island system. the Nilsson
RI Pacific, the Central Pacific, the St.
Paul, the Union Pacific. the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern, the Illinois
Central, the Pennsylvania, the Balti-
more & Ohio, the New York Central,
the Reading, the Jersey Central and the
Lake Shore. The object of the commits
sion is TO disclose the connection of the
principal railroads and their largest
stockholders with terminal companies
in st. Louis, Chicago, Omaha, st. Paul,
Plttsburg and other cities.
1T is explained for the commission
that the terminal companies are entirely
separate and distinct corporations from
the railroad companies, but that the
stock Of the terminal companies gem
orally is owned exclusively by the rail
roads themselves or by the large stock
holders in the railroads The terminal
companies are dependent upon the rail
roads for their earnings and their rev.
enues are great or small in proportion
TO the character of contract the ter
minal companies make with the rail-
roads. Many of these terminal COM
panies pay large dividends and have
large surplus over net earnings
In the terminal companies the COM
mission sees an opportunity for rail
roads TO sink large amounts of money
by means of favorable contracts and
thus have them pay large dividends to
shareholders which, rs stated, is III

panies 1t is for this purpose that the
names of large railroad stockholders
have been procured so that the commits
sion can trace their relation to the ter
minal companies and determine whctD-

REGARDED AS SUSPICIOUS.
Action by Two Men in Neighborhood
of Banks

Two young men were arrested today by
Detectives Pratt and Hewlett and conduct
ed to police headquarters to be questioned
by Inspector Boardman. They were taken
into custody because they were seen about
banks on 18th street under alleged sus-
picious circumstances. At headquarters
they gave their names as Charles A. Moran
and Frederick G. Kohler. Each gave his
age as thirty-two and said he Is from Chi
cago. Although they said they had resided
in Chicago many years their names are not
in the city directory.
The prisoners had but little to say about
themselves to Inspector Boardman. 1t was
their statement that they had just reached
here from Pittsburg, but as they were un-
able to tell the amount of railroad fare
they had paid, the detectives doubted their
statement. Neither prisoner had a cent in
his pocket, one of them having a tooth
brush as his only asset, the other having
only toothpick.
When the two men realized that Detec-
tives Pratt and Hewlett were watching
them they moved from the banking dis
trict and were followed, being arrested near
Pennsylvania avenue and 10th street In
spector Boardman had the pair measured
and photographed for the gallery.
