 The Nome fire department petitioned the council for continuation of the summer rate of wages.

It Is said that the reason that the department did not petition the coun- -cil for like conditions last winter is that the council being in debt they felt call- ed upon to lend every assistance to that body in endeavoring to put the city on a sound financial basis. They new feel that they are entitled to the regular rate of pay.

complete review of the conditions at the
canal site. lie thought that the canal
should be completed within six years
from next July ana that its ultimate cost
would be approximately S300.o00,ooo. in
Guiding the purchase price.
Secretary Taft explained that with the
locks widened to 10 feet a vessel OF 103
feet beam could easily pass through. The
largest ship this government is planning
to build will have a beam OF but % feet.
The increased cost Of the locks. Mr..
Taft estimated at about s5OJ6,06O.
Secretary Taft brought out the difficult
ties that beset the commission In its adj
ministration. These range all the way
from trouble with the Pacific Mall Steam
ship Line. because Of its failure TO fur
nish enough steamers. to labor difficult
ties. Regarding the former it was a
question in his mind whether the govern

HARTMAN AND KAHN
ORDERED TO ANSWER.
Court Directs Them to Give Information
Desired by the Interstate Commerce
Commission---TWo Exceptions.

tons relating to ownership by the di-
rectors of the Union Pacific of any
Chicago & Alton stock so deposited.
Mr.. Hartman also refused to say
whether he acquired any Illinois Cen
trail stock with a view to selling to
the Union Pacific, or whether he pro-
cured it at q lower price than that
paid him by the Union Pacific.
The grounds taken by Messrs. Harrl-
man and Kahn for their refusal are
thus summarized by Judge Hough:
The questions propounded are not per-
tinent, relevant or material to any in
quiry stated or defined by the resolu-
ton Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The commission is not en-
powered either to pass the resolution
or make the order or ask the ques-
tons by statutory grant Of power.
If. however. Congress has assumed
to grant statutory power authorizing
such procedure, then such congress
sional grant is unconstitutional, mas
much as Congress itself could not re-
press these questions because they do
not relate to commerce among the seV-
eral states. Judge Hough says:
Whether the language of the petit
toners resolution is broad enough to
justify the questions depends upon the
view taken Of the Interstate Commerce
law"
Judge Hough says that he considers
Mr.. Harriman's position to the effect
that the Union Pacific could mortgage
its interstate railway for any thing it
pleased and invest the proceeds Of the
hypothecatiOn in anything permitted
by the laws Of Utah at prices and
from vendors not open to investigation
or criticism by the commission as its
own combination, inasmuch from such
premises it must follow that any inter-
state carrying company created by
state law may ruin itself through I'M
provident investments and become
wholly unable to fulfil its carrying
functions. All questions, says the opin-
ion. relating to the purchase of stock
are therefore within the purview of
the resolution.
The question relating to possible
speculation in Union Pacific shares
seems, says the judge, to stand in a
different light
Il Go not see how the withholding of
information from the public after the
dividend was declared tended to defeat
the purpose of the act or impair the
ability of the Union Pacific to perform

New York, Jan. 16.-Judge Hough Of
the United States circuit court. handed
down an opinion today directing Otto
H. Kahn. member of the banking
firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. to answer all
questions propounded to him by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. T.. II.
Hartman was directed to answer all
questions except those relating to the
purchase Of Union and Southern Pacific
stock In connection with the dividend
Of August, 1913.
While the exceptions We're regarded
as important questions by the govern
ment lawyers who investigated the re-
organization Of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad they constituted only a small
proportion Of those which Hartman
refused to answer
The clash between the witness and
the commission arose on Feb 25 of
last year. For several days the inves-
tigators had been endeavoring to get
at the bottom Of Mr.. Harrimans trans
actions relative to the Chicago & Alton.
The question which marked the begin
ming of the controversy was this:
Did you own any Of the Chicago &
Alton preferred stock sold by the syn
dictate to the Union Pacific?"
Immediately Mr.. Harriman's lawyer,
John G.. Milburn, contended that the
inquiry was not within the scope OF
the federal investigation. Frank r.
Kellogg, the governments attorney,
took the contrary view. The outcome
after prolonged arguments was that
Mr.. Hartman declined to answer a
number of questions as to stock deal
ings on the ground Of personal privi-
lege.
Mr.. Kellogg and his associates APP
pealed to the federal courts to compel
the witness TO answer.
