AUDITOR PRODUCES
FIGURES TO PROVE
PULLMAN'S LOSSES

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-At the opening
of the second days hearing before In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Lane
concerning the complaint of George s.
LOTUS that the rates on sleeping-car
berths are exorbitant, demand was
made on the Pullman company for
statement showing the percentage OF
berths occupied annually by persons
holding passes.
The demand, which was made by At
torney Manahann representing the COM
plainant, was vigorously opposed by
Attorney Fernald for the Pullman com
pany.
After much argument, Commissioners
Lane ruled the company should produce
the desired information and instructed
William Hough, assistant auditor of the
Pullman company, who had been re-
called to the stand today, to furnish the
statement.
In response to a demand made yes
terday, Mr.. Hough produced state
ment showing the money lost by the
company in refunding fares.
According to the witness, the total
amount of money refunded for the tscal
year 1906 was $SS,S19, and that in the
following year it had been swelled to
s92.511. while for the present year the
count has risen to S105,795.

n EW YORK Dec. 15.-The World
in the course of its answer to
~ President Roosevelts reference to

Mr.. Roosevelt is mistaken. He cam

While no amount Of 'billingsgate' on
his part can alter our determination
to treat him with judicial impartiality
and scrupulous fairness, we repeat
what we have already said that the
congress of the United States should
make a thorough investigation of the
whole Panama transaction, that the
full truth may be known to the Amer
lean people.
"The World appreciates the impor-
tance and significance of Mr.. Roose-
velts statement when he declared to
congress that the proprietor of the
World should be prosecuted for libel
by the governmental authorities and
that the attorney general has under
consideration the form under which
the proceedings against Mr.. Pulitzer
shall be brought

ever asserted the doctrine OF lese

specific Legislation the criminal prose-
cution by the government of citizens
