AMEND RAILROAD
COMMERCE BILL
PROVISIONS ARE STRENGTHENED
AND MADE MORE EQUIT.
ABLE.
Violations Of Law Punishable b,
Fine and Imprisonment.

WASHINGTON Feb. ls.-The ad-
ministration railroad bill, amending
the interstate commerce act, origin
ally introduced in the house by Mr..
Townsend OF Michigan. was intro
duced by him today with number
Of amendments, drawn by Attorney
General Wiekersham. These change
the bill in the matter OF the creation
Of the court Of commerce, In the
regulation OF stocks and bonds and
in the inclusion OF electric rail-
roads.
The amendment relating to the
commerce court limits It's power to
that Of federal circuit court. This
amendment was drafted to meet the
objection made to the original pro-
Vision that the court would have
more extensive jurisdiction than the
existing circuit courts OF the United
States.
The stock and bond provision Is
amended so as to permit the reor-
ganization of railroads and the mer-
ger OF railroads not directly pro-
hibited The act establishes the
principle that no stock shall be lssu-
cd by railroads except at par and
no bonds except at their reasonable
market or calling value, ascertained
by the interstate commerce commits.
sion, and where either stock or
bonds are paid for In property, it's
fair value must be ascertained by the
commission.
Stocks and Bonds.
One section deals specifically with
the issue OF stocks and bonds on the
reorganization OF existing companies
and authorizes the issue OF stock to
an amount not exceeding the aggre-
gate of the stock of the company re-
organized and bonds to the amount
not exceeding the outstanding bonds
and other obligations, including new
money paid in, provided the aggre-
gate interest charges to be paid by
the reorganized company do not ex-
coed the aggregate existing interest
charges.
In the case of the merger OF two
or more roads the stock and bonds
of the consolidated company is not
to exceed stocks and bonds OF the
merged companies, nor be in excess
of the fair estimated value of the
properties OF the consolidated COM
pany. ascertained by the commission.
A railroad company is left free to
acquire stock and bonds OF another
noncompetlng road, provided the ag-
gregate amount of stock and bonds
issued for such acquisition shall not
exceed the fair value Of the prop |
erty as aseertalned by the commits |
sion or the aggregate par value OF
the stock and bonds acquired with
cat Increase in the aggregate inter-
est payable on such bonds.
These provisions, 1t is believed,
viii prevent the bin from interfering
with any legitimate financing, while
effectually preventing the issue of |
stock and bonds without proper safe
guards.
Officers Punishable.

omcors Punishable.

The bill further provides that any
officer OF railroad corporation who
violates the law may be punished by
fine Of $4,000 or three years i'm
prisonment, or both.
The amended bill further provides
that where notes or other obligations
made In conformity with the act are
secured in the pledge OF bonds, a
sale Of the pledged bonds to enforce
the loan must be had at public auc-
ton. and notes may be made con-
vertible into pledged bonds on the
basis of the reasonable market or
selling value OF the bonds as ap-
proved by the commission. The
amendments are so framed that the
new act shall not operate to impair
any contract. mortgage or other in
strument made prior to the passage
of the act.
Electric railroads are granted the
concession they desired at the recent
hearings when 1t was complained that
the bin was a discrimination in ia
for OF steam lines to the financial
detriment of the electric roads.

one Of the most daringly iniquit-

The production of agricultural
implements is largely in the

reduction of 5 per cent on these
products was merely for the pur.

ACCUSED OF GRAFT
THREE FORMER RAILROAD OF FiciALS TAKEN INTO GUS
 roDY AT CHICAGO.
AMOUNT IS MORE THAN MILLION
President Harahan Had First SuspIo, ions-Death of Vice President Rawn Alone Prevented Ills Arrest--ins vestioatlon Began a Year Ago.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Three former of ficials of the Illinois Railroad com pany were arrested in connection with the alleged frauds by means of which the company claims to have been de frauded out of sl.500,000 The men arrested were:
 Frank B. Hartman. former general manager
 Charles L. Ewing, former manager of lines north of the Ohio river.
 John K. Taylor. formerly general storekeeper
 The warrants were sworn to by J. T. Harahan, president of the Illinois Central railroad They charge the three men with conspiracy to cheat ard defraud the railroad by false pre- lenses and with operating conf dence game. Hartman and Ewing were taken to the Harrison street polices station Their bonds of s10.010 each were signed by professional bondsman.
 The allegations in the so-called graft case are among the most sensa- tional in which high officials of a great corporation ever have been named The investigation began over year ago It reached Il crisis last spring when Mr. Harahan began ac- tions to recover amounts aggregating more than s1,000.00o, obtained. the accusation says, by car repair com panies in connivance with high off cials of the road. Hartman, Ewing. Taylor and many other minor officials resigned their positions.
 Much of the money Is said to have been repaid privately The name of Ira c. Rawn. yice-president of the road. who reesigned to become presi- dent of the Monon, and who was found dead recently at his home with 8 bullet wound in his breast, was brought into the scandal. Murray Nelson, Jr.. attorney for the Illinois Central, said that Rawns death stopped warrants which would have been issued for him.
 Private detectives working under lthe directions of Mir. Harahan are said to have disclosed frauds other than l those connected with padded car re pair bills. These are said to involve the diverting oof $1,000.000 or more from new construction. The investi gators say they have obtained several confessions which will be used in their attempt to fasten the guilt on culpable persons z
