The Cable Company Of Chicago, with
whom Mr.. COnOver is associated, is re-

UNTERMYER GIVES VIEWS
ON DEPARTMENT RULING

New York. Dec. 2S.-Samuel Untermyer,
counsel of the Pujo Committee, said to-
night that the ruling OF the Department
of Justice as to the power of the in
vestigators did not wholly defeat the
purpose of the probers to get at the
transactions OF the national banks
Roughly speaking" said Mr.. Inter
myer, II should say that the ruling cuts
down our power in the premises about
one-half The opinion on the law rem
dered by Special Attorney Wrisley Brown
must be read in full before its complete
purport can be understood. It is a very
elaborate deliverance and is so extremely
technical that it cannot be made wholly
comprehensive to the layman. At any
time the committee still has sufficient
resources to go on with the work it
started to do practically unhampered" Z"
New York bankers and other financiers
would not discuss the subject at all,
though all of them who were seen show
ew plainly a feeling of qualification over
the ruling by the Department of Justice.

WATER CARRIERS ARE
NOW TO BE PROBED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Sends Out Blanks to All En-
gagged in Business.

| An order for the probing of every fea.
| ture of the water transportation bust.
ness, whether on the Great Lakes, the
rivers, or the oceans, was issued yesteT-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
Cission.
The investigation is to be one of the
most sweeping ever undertaken by the
commission. Its purpose is to lay bare
the connection OF water carriers with
the land carriers, with respect to compe-
titive or nOncompetitive business condi-
tions and the inter-relations through rate
and traffic agreements, or by stock, Sc
curity, or other holdings.
Some significance may attach to this
order because the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries is now
engaged in an investigation Of an al
-leged shipping trust, but the purpose of
the commission is to gather data for use
in the fixing of railroad and water rates.
Instructions were sent yesterday to
every water carrier engaged in inter
state commerce to make to the commits
sion as OF date of January l, complete
returns on its capitalization, liabilities,
assets, agreements, and contracts, fiscal
relation with other carriers, holdings in
securities of other carriers or corpora
tions, values of physical properties, now
and when secured. and the character of
its equipment. Uniform blanks with de-
tailed explanation were sent out to-day
to all water carriers with orders to SUD-
ply the information desired by the COM
mission.
Announcement was made that the
water carriers will be required to sub
nit an annual statement of tho busi-
ness, and they are directed to keep their
accounts in conformity with the classi-
iication and general balance sheet of the
forms which have been sent to them.
