Questions

Chicago, Sept, 20.-Controller M. p.
Blauvelt of the Illinois Central again
was the target of questions relating
to the alleged manipulation of stocks
and bonds of his company when the
interstate commerce commission re-
sumed the rate hearing today.
The questions came from attorneys
representing various shippers organ
izations. The attack of the shippers
was made on the company's statement
of capitalization dividends and bond
interests.
Attorney H. o. Lust representing
the Illinois Manufacturers association,
sought to show discrepancies between
the roads reports to the interstate
commerce commission and those to
the Illinois grain and warehouse COM
mission. Attorney Frank Lyon of the
interstate commerce commission ques-
toned the correctness of several items
given Blauvelt of cash expenditures
by the illinois Central by which the
witness in part seeks to show the dis
proportionate drain on the revenues
and the justice of the proposed ad-
vance in freight rates
