 William R. Taylor, Secretary of the Philadelphia and Reading Company. was the first witness. Questioned by James c. Reynolds, special assist ant United States Attorney-General. MT. Taylor told of the earpings ot the three Reading companies, and of the relations existing between the Phila- delphia and Reading Railway Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, the latter holding concern.
 Mir. Taylor said the coal and iron company had never paid a dividend, but that the railway had in 1902 paid to the holding concern 15 per cent, for two years thereafter 20 per cent and during the last two years, 30 per cent year.
 The coal and iron company he said, is indebted to the railway company to the extent of $80 100000. which credit was inherited from the old Reading Company, which was sold by the sheriff in 1896.
