cation dealing especially with the stock
control of the various roads Of the coun-
try.
The records Of seventy-four Of the lead
ing roads have been examined and the COM
mission is now able to give the main facts
concerning these roads. This is the first
time the commission has made this kind
OF a call from the railroads and the pur-
pose is farreaching. 1t will enable the
commission to find the real key to some CT
the railroad situations. When Prof. Adams
has completed his task he should be able
to name quite accurately who is the real
power in control of the railroad situation
and determine positively whether it is Har-
riman, Hill, Morgan or Gould.
No Doubt lie Is King.
From the reports so far examined there
seems no doubt that Hartman is the real
king and is the man the commission is
looking for says thes paper. He holds
practically all the Oregon Short Line, the
majority of the Southern Pacific stock,
more OF the Great Northern than does j.
j. Hill and is a substantial holder in the
Northern Pacific, another Hill line. He
holds many other valuable railroad prop
critics and has a strong interest in the
Vanderbilt lines.
"Hsrrimen's holdings in the Oregon Short
Line amounts to the par value of 81, $780,
100. In the Southern Pacific his holdings
are SO, 6s5, 600 common and $50, ZOO 900 pre-.
feried. In the Union Pacific he holds SlO.-
5000 common and $50. 500 preferred, beside
the holdings Of the firm of Hartman & CO
The manner in which the Hartman sys
tenn OF control is kept on the books
shown by a note submitted with the list O
ten largest shareholders by the souther
Pacific. The note states that all of tn
1885, $50 shares in that company held in tn
name Of Mr.. Hartman III, 40 of the share
appearing in the name of Kuhn, Loeb 1
Co, $500 shares in the name Of S. Sies
man, and Is, 200 shares in the name Of I
8. Steinam, are owned in fact by Tn
oregon Short Line. A note filed by Ia
Oregon Short Line states that, besides tn
shares in the name of Mr. Hartman, Their
is only one other block, of about 100
shares, all the remainder OF the stoc
being held by individuals III one-share lot!

found the necklace that she wore, and

Cunningly he tossed the necklace

the lake.

do his duty by James Bansemer be-

master as best he could. He knew
that he was jeopardizing his own safe

watched was Bansemer, although his
brief glimpse Of the fugitive's face dis
couraged that belief.
The gaunt clerk kept his chin well
covered with his great muffier; the
broad collar of his ulster was turned
up about his face. The rapid plan that
dashed into his mind comprehended
but two things, the effort to restore
life to Frances Cable and the hope of
escaping without being recognized. He
felt that she had not been in the water
long enough to drown. Every hope de-
pended upon the force of the blow that
he imagined had been delivered.

grasping the full importance Of every
sentence that rushed from her impas-

fell like the blow of a club In the

him that his breath had ceased to

In the lives even Of the best men
there are moments when the human in

there been instances in which the brav-

supposedly towards have proved to be
heroes. Therefore since no two situa-

yet have precisely similar conditions,
It behooves us to forbear judging. lest
