6onaparte Starts Suit Against harri'
man Rosds.

~'-F~-~
| Washington, Jan. 81. - Attorne,
General Bonaparte directed that Dill
| in equity be fled to set aside the con
troll by the Union Pacific Railway com
pany and Its subsidiary corporations o.
| the Southern Pacific and the San Pedro,
Los Angeles 4 Salt Lake railroads; also
| to have declared illegal the ownership

Short Line OF stock In the Santa Fe, the

The attorney general issued an OH
cial sttement TO this effect, which, after
referring to the extended investigation
by the Interstate Commerce commission
into the relations existing among the
various lines Of road engaged In trans
continental traffic, says:
From the evidence 30 adduced and
from independent investigation the de-
paxtment has arrived at the conclusion
that the stockholding Of the Union Pc
cifc and its Subsidiary companies In
the corporations mentioned above Is in
direct violation Of the Sherman act.
"rhe department regards the suit as
Of first Importance. AZ 1t Is sought by
means thereof TO break up substantial
monopoly OF the transportation bust
ness OF the country between the Mis-
souri, river ON the east and the entire
Pacific coast south Of Portland on the
west"
Aside from the railway companies
above named, the other defendants In
the suit are the Farmers Loan Il Trust
company, OF New York, which is the
depository OF all the stock Of the San
Pedro road under contract by which
it ID required to give proxies to such
persons As may be named by Mr.. Har-
riman and Mr.. CLARK for period OF
years. There are also individual de-
iendants who are alleged to have con-
ceived and carried out the conspiracy
complained OF, towit: e. II. HarIi-
man, Jacob H. Schiff, Otto H. Kahn,
James Stillman, Henry @. Frick, Hem
~ Fl. Rogers and William A. Clark.
While naming the individual defend
ants the statement makes no mention
OF any intention to prosecute any Of
these officials personally in any Grimm
al proceedings.

srElwER PLEADS GUILTY.
,.snsv Puts Him On Stand 10 Testify
Against Han.

Portland. Jan. e4.-6hortly beior'
court Adjourned yesterday afternoon
". W. steiwer, president Of the Butte
Greek Land, Livestock 4 Lumber com
many, pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
Indictment and was Immediately caller
by Hsney as witness for the govern
ment against his co-defendants, Hal
and Mays. steiwer related the sub
stance OF a conversation he had with
Hall in Portland In 1900, when the
district attorney told 6teiwer that II
would probably be necessary for him
(HalD to prosecute the Butte Creek
company for maintaining unlawful
fences. Heney asked the witness 70
give his understanding" OF that cor :
yersation, but counsel for the defend
ants objected to that form Of examina-
ton and Judge Hunt reserved his rul-
ing until 10 o'clock this morning, to
which hour court adjourned.
steiwer's confession and bis appear
ance as witness for the prosecution
is another move by Honey by which the
government expects convincingly 10
fasten the conspiracy charge against
both Hall and Mays. The alleged cor
spiracy has been proved against stei-
wer, Hendricks and Zachary. officers OF
the Butte Greek company, but the tes
timony Of these three witnesses II re-
lied on by the government further to
associate Hall and May in that con-
spiracy. While the testimony Of Hen
bricks was material to the prosecution q
case, steiwer IL considered more i'm
portant witness, since it 10 expected to
show by him that Hall declined to
prosecute Steiwer and his associates In
consideration OF political obligation
to HteiWer.
