Not Compelled to Answer Ger
tain Questions.
FEDERAL TRIBUNALS DECISION
Materially NaHows Scope Of In
terstate Commerce Law.

Washington, Dec. 15.-In deciding
the cases of Edward H. Hartman and
Otto Fl. Kahn vs.. the Interstate Com
merce Commission. the supreme court
Of the United States held that the
commission is not entitled under the
interstate commerce law to press
questions relative to private transac-
tons, even though they involve deal
ings in the securities Of interstate
railroads, when the investigation OF
which such questions are a part has
been begun upon the commissions
initiative.
The opinion OF the court was an
nounced by Justice Holmes and dealt
with the refusal OF Messrs. Hartman
and Kahn to make reply to questions
of an inquiry concerning the dealings
of Mr.. Hartman as president Of the
Union Pacific railway in the stocks OF
other railroads, many of which are
competing lines. In the course OF his
opinion Justice Holmes said that the
commissions inquiries should be con-
fined to cases in which complaint
had been made. He said that privacy
should be properly regarded in pro-
ceedings begun by the commission for
its own purposes. He also said that
the powers conferred in the interstate
commerce law exceed any which have
ever been delegated by a constitution
al body of lawmakers.
In dissenting opinion, which was
concurred in by Justices Harlan and
McKenna, Justice Day declared that
the effect OF the opinion OF the ma
jority of the court would be to mate
rally narrow the scope OF the inter
state commerce law. These three Jus
tees took the position that the ques-
ton of the commission SO far as they
were sustained by the United States
circuit court for the Southern district
of New York. were entirely proper
under the law and should have been
answered by Hartman and Kahn
Justice Harlan went even farther and
held that all of the commissions ques-
lions should have received responses.
Justice Moody did not participate In
the case.

CAR INSPECTOR CRUSHED
c. r. Gleason of the Seaboard Air Line
Met his Death Between Two Cars
in Tampa Tuesday Morning
CTampa Times, 11thD

a sudden death. and a horrible one,
was that which closed the earthly ca
rcer of G. f.. Gleason a car inspector
at the SeabOard depot this morning.
The passenger train for the Sarasota
branch was being made up. AS is the
usual custom, Inspector Gleason was
making his rounds to see that every
thing was in good shape before the
train started out on it's trip. The two
day coaches had been coupled together
and the engine and tender, with the
baggage and mail ears, backed down
to the other coaches to make the final
coupling. For some reason the coupl-
ing was not made. and as the engine
pulled forward again Gleason stepped
to the end of the coach and inspect
cd the coupling 10 see what was the
matter. Just as the engine backed
tie car down again. he stuck his head
down close 10 see the coupling and
make Il closer inspection, apparently
forgetting that the other part of tho
train was approaching, and was in
lnat position Wnen the bumpers came
together. pinnng his head between
them.
There were no bystandcrS save q
man and boy. They saw him just
as the cars came together. and could
do nothing to save him. They leaped
forward and dragged back the body
before the wheels could reach it.
Gleason was gasping his last, blood
and brains pouring in a mass from his
head DR.. Boyer was called, but the
poor fellow was beyond earthly aid.
and he died within five minutes after
the accident.
Coroner Drumright was called and
he deemed no inquest necessary, it
having been a plain case of accident.
The body was turned over to Under
taker Reed for burial. the railroad to
bear the expense unless the mans
people are found.
Gleason, who was familiarly known
rs Fred by his associates, came here
from Manatee county some time ago.
He had been employed there in the
construction of a railroad bridge. He
is believed to have been a Missourian.
