Union Pacific Decision Clarifies Opinions as to
Purport of Sherman Act-London Buyer

New York, June 26.-The zest impaired
to trading in securities by the decision
in the Union Pacific case was still felt
by the stock market to-day, though after
the first hour trading decreased in volume
and at the close OF the stock list dis
played as many losses as gains on the
day.
At the opening the tone was buoyant,
transactions were heavy and numerous,
md Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,
the stocks directly affected by the deci-
sion, added on initial transactions more
than a point each to the gains of 35k
points each made on Saturday. But as has
happened on other periods of the year,
when the market has shown an indi-
cation of continuing a brisk advance,
heavy realizing sales were encountered
end>the market was obliged to absorb
large offerings of stocks.
The profit taking. had no great effect
on Southern Pacific, which scored a
gain Of 2h points on the day, or 5N
points on the two days since the an
nouncement of the decision. Spectators
bought this stock more confidently than
any other on the idea that the victory
Of the company In the merger case paved
the way for an increase in the divi-
dend rate to per cent per annum.
Defines Rights of Corporations.
Everywhere it was realized that. the
decision in the Union Pacific cases clari-
fed opinions Of the purport OF the Sher-
man act and defined more closely the
rights Of big corporations under the act.

London resumed business activity for

FOUR DETECTIVES
SHADOW" FUNK
Witness in Lorimer Case
Startles Committee.

Clarence S. Funk. general manager of
the International Harvester Company,
startled the members Of the Lorimer in
vestigating committee yesterday when he
charged that four private detectives of a
Chicago agency had been following him
ever since he testified, several months
ago. before the Helm committee of the
Illinois legislature, where he related for
the first time in public the story OF how
Edward Hines. OF the Edward Hines
Lumber Company. asked Mr.. Funk in the
Union League Club in Chicago for a
contribution of $4,000 from the harvester
company to aid in paying the expenses Of
Senator Lorimer's election.
Mr.. Funk said that these four men
had even followed him to Washington
when he came here to testify before the
Senate committee investigating Senator
Lorimerss election. Mr.. Funk said that
they had not been employed by Senator
Lorimer, but he suggested that Mr..
Hines. If called to the witness stand.
could probably explain the reason for the
activity of the four detectives. Mr.. Funk
said that he got one OF the 'shadows'
in an uncomfortable position and quizze
him about his work :,
This young man told me who his en-
ployer was and what his instructions
were," said Mr.. Funk He gave me
his name, and said that he and his three
associates had been instructed to follow
me. In order to get something on me.
They have never interfered with me,
however. They followed me home at
night, to work in the morning, and how
cred about me when went to lunch.
'T do not care to give the name of this
young man, but viii produce him before
the committee II It desires"
do you mean to charge that these
detectives have been employed by Sena-
tor Lorimer?' asked Chairman DiIIing-
ham.
NO" replied Mr.. Funk. Senator
torimer did not employ them But If
you will place Mr.. Hines on the witness
stand and ask him If he is not being
to by these men every night,
you will get the information in the
easiest way"
The committee took a recess to dis
cuss in executive session whether or
not Mr.. Funk should be obliged to
name the detective. After the question
had been discussed for about half an
hour Chairman Dillingham; announced
that no decision had been reached and
that the. subject will be resumed this
at 10 o'clock.
Prior to the revelations about the de- |
tectives Mr.. Funk related the conver-
sation Mr.. Hines had with him at the |
Union League Club in Chicago. early |
n June 1903 shortly after the electioyf
'f Senator Lorimer. when Mr.. Hines
made the request for a contribution |
