This is the Harris case. w. HI
Harris had a dispute with the Great
Northern officials over a claim fol
goods destroyed In a wreck. He
sued the company and won a judg
ment for $119S, from which the
company appealed. In the supreme
court the judgment was affirmed
and the company paid it.
But the Great Northern was
facing another similar suit in
volving much larger amount,
and, for the purposes Of the
second suit, the law az laid
down by the supreme court in
the Harris case did not favor
the company as much az the at
torneys for the company de-
sired. So M. J. Gordon, attor.
ney for the railroad, petitioned
for a rehearing and Get about
having the opinion "doctored"

true. What the Powell committee
did do was to report that; owing to
its lack Of power to compel the At
tendance Of witnesses and the pro-
duction of evidence, its investAga-
ton was not sufficiently complete
to enable 1t to make a finding on
this point. 1t therefore recommend
ed that the investigation be re-
sfimed by some body possessing
such power. Its report said:
1.-THE committee 10 unable to
make a complete investigation be-
cause Of its inability to procure al
the evidence bearing upon matters
subject to its inquiry.
GAS to rumors Of bribery and cor.
ruption, the committee begs to re-
port that II has been unable to OBJ
tain any facts to substantiate the
same, and It's investigation, for the
reason above stated, has not been
sufficiently complete to make .
finding on this point.
"Witliout implying that any facts
exist which would establish such
crimes, the committee has become
convinced that an investigation by
some body clothed with legal inquIs-
itoriai powers might clear up this
point.
az such inquisition shall not be
had or II Il shall result In no fur
ther accomplishment, In either
event the supreme court and the
state bar association will. have be-
fore them the evidence herewith
submitted upon which to base any
proper action or proceeding"
