Atlanta, Ga. February II, 1913.
Considerable interest is being

Particular attention might be

Loeb & Company and one or two 9TH
ers to the extent of $50.000,OOO or
S100,000,OO0 more were enabled to
acquire these gigantic fortunes.
How 1t Was Done.
1.-THE first consolidated balance sheet
of the Union Pacific of June 80, 1900,
contained for the first time evidences
ard results of what had been going on
from June 80, 1885, to June 80, 1900,
and this is what had happened:
I'm the reorganization, the old
Union Pacific had lost control of what
is known as the Oregon properties.
They consisted OF the oregon Railroad
e Navigation company and the Oregon
Short Line Railroad company. Be
tween the dates 1 have mentioned the
new company recovered them and
paid for them, first by an issue of its
own securities, and secondly, by an
assumption of debts of these com
panieS, and as l have already said, the
consolidated balance sheet of June 80,
1900, showed for the first time the
consolidated statement of all these
companies.
ION the debit side appeared the
amount of securities issued and debt
assumed against the acquisition of
those properties.
''On the asset side there appeared a
credit equal to the entry value of all
the physical properties so acquired
and then again there appeared a du-
plicatiOn of that. The same amount
was entered over again as represent
irg the value of the securities which
in turn represented the value of the
physical properties acquired.
THE sum of $S2. 100000 or it's equiva-
lent was entered twice on the a sset size.
But up to that time the transaction was
only open to the objection and criticism
that it represented a piece of clumsy
bookkeeping for. again, on the debit
side there appeared an entry CORES
ponding, treating the securities owned
by Union Pacific road as though they
were still ahoat and in the hands of the
public; but the following year. 1891,
somebody erased that entry on the
debit side.
so you had the entry on the ere
The Topeka state journal., 1913-07-02

side of the amount of security by the
Union Pacific and the amount of debI
it had assumed representing the pay
ment of the purchase price-that on
!, the debit side and on the asset side
there was represented a corresponding g
entry of an equal amount representing
the physical value of the property. And,
then again the same entry over aSaIh
and that condition existed as a result
of this forgery-es a result of this eras-
ure And that $50, 900, 900 before 1t was
erased, represented debit entry
against a credit entry, that credit en-
try being the entry representing the
securities of those companies which the
Union Pacific had acquired.
Now here is what they did and here
is what flowed from the forgery. They
took all the securities of the Oregon Short
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company out of the treasury OF the Union
Pacific Railroad company and pledged
them as security for an issue OF bonds
and got the money for them and they
took that money and applied it to the
Northern Pacific stock. which thereafter
became Northern Securities and then
again Northern Pacific and Great North
ern and Great Northern Ore and that, in
the end was sold out at most enormous
profit and the proceeds of that were then
one day 100000 900 of securities, which
the testimony before the interstate COM
merce commission has strongly tended to
show they bought from themselves"
Immediately after Lamar had finished

railway put in his reply accusing Lamar
of bear attack.
