HARTMAN ROADS
IN LITIGATION
interests of Well Known Mag
nate Have Been COnSpiCu-
GUS at Washington.
SUIT PENDING AT PRESENT
RAILROAD MAN FIGURED IN IN
TERSTATE COMMERCE CASE.

Washington, Sept. 9-Figuring in liti-
cation that led up to the Supreme Court
of the United States, in congressional de-
bate and action in Interstate commerce
proceedings, and in administrative details
of the treasury department the interests
OF L. II. Hartman have been conspicuous
in the government dockets at Washing
ton.
The government has pending a suit
against the Hartman roads for the dis
solution Of a combination among them.
In various parts of the country testimony
in This proceeding is being taken.
Mr.. Harriman's claims for reimburse
ment. on account OF the S2U0000O OF more
which he expended several years ago in
rebuilding the SaltOn sea dam. excited
great interest all over the country. Con-
Eress has never acted tavOrably on the
claims.
Perhaps the most noted of the recent
cases in which Mr.. Hartman has figured
is the litigation that grew out of an in
terstate commerce commission proceeding
in which Mr.. Hartman declined 10 an
sWer certain questions. The Supreme
court decided the case in favor of Mr.
Hartman last December.
The questions which Mr.. Hartman re
fused 10 answer bore on the ownership
OF stock relating. according to the Su-
pTema court decision, TO business of Kuhn
Loeb g. Co.. and not TO the Southern Pa
cifie, which Mr. Hartman controlled
It was FIJI 1897 that M Hartman LS-
UTeL iu "a political controversy, involving
the name of Theodore Roosevelt then
president. Through a disgTUntled stenOg-
ra1Ler. there was brought to light a let
ter. written 10y AIT Hartman TO Sidney
Webster. "a lawyer in which Mr.. Harri-
man complained that the Roosevelt ad-
miuiS-TJuOn had not treated him fairly
after na had been instrumental in raising
5000 for the campaign OF 1904. The let
ter closed with the now famous question:
Where do ] standy'
Mr.. Roosevelt was greatly incensed, and
came forth with a letter now equally ia
nous which originated the expression
undesirable citizen
TO strengthen his case, Mr.. Hartman
produced 81 letter, signed Theodore ROOse-
Welt and dated Oct. a. 1904 Two weeks be
fore Mr.. Ro0sev=lJs election to the presi-
dency I'D that year.
Much correspondence on both sides was
produced after this. and it came out that
in 1906 Mr Hartman declined to con-
tribute to- the Republican congressional
campaign fund on the ground that it was
useless for him TO do so.
